Bunyan a Sficker.

Some twenty years ago things
looked like hard times forever to
most of the settlers in Southwestern
Kansas. They had been drawn
down into that country by seductive
allurements of land and town-lot
boom. The boom ran riot for a
year or two-and then, went up in
a cloud Of sand. Then there was a
scramble of tenderfeet to get back
east. But there were few who
could not not get away, and another
few who said to themselves: There's
no chance back home this country
may come out all right after while"
and they stayed.
Among those who stayed was w.
P. Bunyan, now one of the foremost
citizens of Fowler, a hustling little
city in Meade county. Buuyan was
an accumulate sort of man. Land
in Meade county was not worth
much, but Mr.. Bunyan kept on ac-
cumulating it, and at the same time
accumulated an interesting family of
daughters. The land stuck, but the
daughters gradually capitulated be-
fore the attacks of the sturdy young
yeomanry of the southwest and last
week saw the the last of them
welded and carried away to be-
come directress-in-c chief of another
household.
But, Mr.. Bunyan is serene and
happy. He owns several thousand
acres of Meade county and among
his other lands, he boasts of pos
sessing one of the best alfalfa farm:
in the state of Kansas. From this
farm he is winter feeding on alfalfa
hay a herd of 600 cattle. He owns
and operates the leading hotel il
Fowler, hostelry SO complete il
all appointments that it is the envy
of towns of greater pretention thar
Fowler. Mr.. Bunyan "made good
by sticking to the southwest wheI
others more timid were tradin,
homesteads for tickets to get bacl
to the land of their nativity. H,
. saw southwestern Kansas land g
begging market at any price. HI
also saw it transformed into garden
-and he is right there with a fe'
Iof the gardens in bis own right ant

Everyone spent an enjoyable even
ing and all were good natured dis

How To Win Premiums on Poultry.

J. I. Erie of Craftsbury, VT, was
one of the largest exhibitors of poultry
at the Lamolle Valley Fair at Morris
vile, VT, and the large number of
premiums he won is indicative of the
care and attention he gives to his fowls.
Poultry keepers will doubtless DE in
terested to learn of his methods. The
following letter from Uric * Sawyer,
of which firm the above named is a
member, will partly explain: Pages
Perfected Poultry Food is all that you
claim for it and is as staple as granu-
lated sugar or -four. Mr.. Uric, who is
a breeder of fine poultry, uses it in his
yards all the year round. We would
like to be agents again the coming sea
son."

COG AND MAGOG.
Various Traditions Relating to
These Two Famous Giants.

Who We're Cog and Magog? English
tradition says that they We're the last
of race of giants who infested Eng
land until they were destroyed by
some of the Trojans who went to the
British isles after the destruction Of
Troy. Cog and Magog. it is said, were
taken captive to London, where they
were chained at the door of the palace
Of the king. When they died wooden
images of the two giants were put in
their places. In the course of time a
great fire destroyed these. but now, If
you go to London. you will see in the
great hall of one of the famous build
ings - the Guildhall - two immense
wooden etiigies of men called. Cog and
Magog
But there are other traditions of the
two giants. one is to the effect that
when Alexander the Great overran
Asia he chased into the mountains Of
the north an impure, wicked and man
eating people who were twenty-five ma
tons in number and who were shut up
with rampant in which were gates of
brass. One of these nations was Goth
and another Magoth, from which we
readily get the names of the mythical
giants. 1t is supposed, however, that
the Turks were meant by Cog and the
Mongols We're the children Of Magog.
We shall find mention made of Cog
and Magog in many books, including
the Bible, but there are the great wall
and the rampant of Cog and Magog.
whatever may have been the fact that
gave the names of the two giants to
that portion of the structure.
