A very merry party of sightseers
were out looking over the magnificent
Beaver county farms last week.
They started from the Busing Ranch
and consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Bus
ing, Miss Bennett, CO. Supt. and the
public school of Dist. No. 40. They
drove over a great part of Beaver
county and looked with envying eyes
at our broad acres of barley, corn,
wheat, oats, cotton and other crops
too numerous to mention. They
then went to the surveying camp fol
supper and also to pursuade Chief
Engineer Cunningham to change the
survey into Meade County, but he
declined with thanks to leave the
land of promise for the rocks and
hills of Kansas. The party was
served with the most sumptuous sup
per, consisting of eight courses, pre-
pared in honor of their coming, af-
ter which they had a very pleasant
chat over the plans of the new road.
They left singing praises of the hos
pitality of MIR. Cunningham and his
assistants. These Jayhawkers, like
all others, would not own up thai

PIRACY OF 10Th CENTURY
Art Treasures Rescued from the Sea
by Divers Stolen by Gre
clan Rovers.

A picturesque bit OF twentieth cen.
fury piracy is reported from the isles
Of Greece. Antiquaries believe ina,
they have fixed the position of Anti
cythera, the modern Cer!gotto, OF the
ships ladeE with art treasures and
plumber that Mummius dispatched to
Rome after the capture of Coristh
over 1000 years ago, and which are
recorded as having sunk In storm
in that neighborhood. Within three
or four years the sea has yielded up
objects OF great artistic and archaeo-
logical worth to the divers that the
Greek government employs on the
spot, notably the marvellous bronze
ephebos now in the Athens museum.
Very recently the divers were at
tackled by pirates and robbed of their
latest hauls from the sea. The in
trinsic value of the bronzes and mar
bles they may have brought up is
slight. but the pirates must have some
idea OF the prices collectors will give
for them. Tae Greek government has
sent a gunboat In search of the thieves.
II 1t captures them ii may find out
whether they are mere freebooters or
the instruments of INSCRIPTIONS art
collectors.

And at the next station, according.
ly, the muzhik was put off with a
half dozen thumps in the ribs.
He waited till another Petersburg
train came along, he boarded this
train, too, and at the next station
with more thumps in the ribs, he was
again put off.
"Undaunted. he boarded the third
train and third time he was beaten
and put Off.
A passenger who alighted at the
same place was interested in the muz.
hik, and said sympathetically:

friend?"

replied:

THE MAKING OF A JUROR.
Puzzled German Gives the Judge
Chance to Get Even with
Lawyers.

The judge had his patience sorel 5
tried by lawyers who wished to talk
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between hypothetical ques
tons and excuses it seemed as If they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case, relates the Green Bag. So
when the puzzled little German who
had been accepted by both sides
jumped up the judge was exasperated
"Shudge!" cried the German.
WHAT is it?" demanded the judge
Il tink | like to go home to my
wife" said the German.
you can't" retorted the Judge. "Sii
down"
But shudge," persisted the Ger
man, Il don't tink | make good
shurer."
You're the best in the box" said
the judge. "Sit down"
What box?" said the German.
Jury box" said the Judge.
"Oh, | thought II vas a bad box that
peoples gets in sometimes"
NO." said the judge, "the bad box
is the prisoners box"
"But. shudge." persisted the little
German, II don't speak good English. "
You don't have to speak any at all, y
said the Judge. "Sit down"
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea"
"Shudge," he said, 81 can't make
holdings Of what these fellers say"
1t was the judges chance to get
even for many annoyances.
Neither can anyone else" he said.
"Sit down"
With a sigh the little German sat
down.

RELATED OF PURITAN BOYS
Youngsters Were So Mischievous in
Meeting House "Pues" Had
to Be Built.

III appears In various quarters tina,
the Puritan fathers had troubls. O,
their own. In the book entitled HE.
reditary and Early Environment OF
John Williams" the author says that
In Roxbury, Mass, in Its early settle.
ment, as everywhere, boys were prone
10 mischief and special rules were
made for their benefit. ----sss~-
IN 1858, when the meeting house was
repaired, the new galleries were Sc,
aside as seats for the boys of the con.
gregation. Here this element could
be herded under the eye and rod OF the
tithing-man and within earshot of the
preacher. With all this, however,
trouble was brewing.
Before long several people com.
planned that they could not sit in the
Westinghouse to their edincation by
reason OF the disturbance the boys
made in the galleries." This com
plant reached the town meeting; and
the seiectmen were directed to con-
SUIT with the elders about removfns
the boys, and cooping them up IN Some
place to be built expressly for this
purpose, or doing anything to rem
edy this evil."'
Exactly what steps were taken to
remove the boys and the evil so grave
~ confronting the town is not known,
but when John Williams was eight
years old a new meeting house was
built. In this structure provision was
made for the boys on some part OF the
main floor. Some years later vote
was passed for "pueing the meeting
house." and the people were given
liberty to build pues round the
Westinghouse, except where the boys
do sit"
BY this action 1t appears that the
boy question had been satisfactorily
solved by corralling that element in
some nook which was now entrenched
against the invasion of pews.

The only reliable data mat can form
basis for speculation as to the prog
ress of Niagara Falls from Lake On
tario to the present site Is found by
comparing the two surveys that have
been made of the falls, one in 1S42
and the other in 1886, writes Archer
Butler Hubert, in Four-Track News.
The first of these was a trigonometri-
cal survey made by DR.. John Hall.
nestor of the New York State geologi-
cal survey. At the suggestion of Sir
Charles Lyell, who visited the falls
with him, monuments were erected at
the points at which the angles were
taken in order that some later sur
,eyor would be able to find with ac-
curacy the C-act extent of the changes.
The second survey was r. de in 1856
by r. s. Woodward. OF the United
States geological survey, now director
of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton. The r. iult surprise the world.
Wood wards survey showed
that the falls had moved 220 feet since
1912: the rate at the center had tee1.
therefore, Ave feet per annum; Wood.
ward proved that the tremendous are
of Ave acres of rock had been preclp
tated from the face of the fall in Ia
half century.
