II straWs tell which way the wind

Lawrence, will not be appointed by the
governor W. r. Stubbs according to
the indications, has no more show Of
gaining that appointment than rab-
blinded, not as much, for the COVER
nor may appoint some rabbit The rail-
road organs, who are voicing the senti-
ments Of the governor just now, have
become so thoroughly convinced, from
some source of information, that
Stubbs is not in the ace that they have
gut bombarding him and have turned
their guns on Joe BristoW. The rail-
road cartoonists are drawing cartoons
senatorship. The special correspondents
are sending the railroad journals
lengthy special pipe dreams about
how Bristow is endeavoring to sneak up
on the senatOrship and capture it asleep,
Tie same dispatches tell how Bristow
is bombarding the governor, and having
all his friends lombard that official,
with requests for his appointment. All
of which means that the railroad organs,
which have get it in for Bristow and
Stubs about equally, have decided that
Stubbs is not dangerous quantity and
that Bristow is. How do they know
Stubs is no longer dangerous-to them?
Only they and the fellows on the in
side know how they know. Probably
something to that effect has been COM
municated to them, in strict confidence,
from somebody who is CLOSE to the gov
ernor." But however that may be, they
breeze intimate that their knowledge
is this: Stubbs will not be appointed
senator, but they are afraid Bristow
will. .''-Lawrence World.

Queer Gardening in the Prairie.

Out in the western prairies, the
garden has a new set of conditions
but the commoner vegetables are easily
grown in this semi-arid region If the
garden is irrigated. The soil is deep,
rich, and comparatively new, so there
is no need to add fertilizer. The one
thing needed here at 2,428 feet eIeva-
ton is water in the earliest spring.
And for economy's sake our vegetable
gardens are placed sufficiently near to
the house so that the one well can
serve the two. During the four
months. November. December Janu-
ary and February, the average month
iy rainfall is only about half an inch,
vet the average annual precipitation is
2O.35 inches. This means that, while
in the spring and summer months
there is a liberal supply of moisture,
the ground may be so dry in the early
spring that the garden plot must actu-
ally be watered before it can be put in
good condition for planting Fancy

THE SANITY OF A MURDERER.

Is any person who deliberately kills
another person wholly sane? Does not
murder imply an abnormal condition of
the mind on the part of the slayer?
Where is the line to be drawn? How
little added must a. a.murderer's brain be
in order to justify sending him to the
gallows or to prison for life, and how
badly added to warrant his acquittal
of the charge? It's fine problem and
calls for a delicate balancing of the
apothecary's scales of justice. Just
where responsibility leaves off and ir-
responsibility begins is a complex ques-
ton. The pity OF the whole thing is
that the insanity of murderers who at
the trial are adjudged not guilty on ac-
count of lunacy is rarely discovered or
suspected until after the killing has
been done.-Hartford Times.

Baby Beetles Cradle.

If, at almost any time of the
year, we walk through the woods
where the red, scarlet, black or pin
oaks are growing-that is, where
we find those that ripen their
acorns in two seasons, and there
fore belong in the pin-oak group
we shall probably find on the
ground fallen branches that vary
in size from that of a lead pencil
to that Of ones thumb, or even
larger. These, at the broken end,
appear as if cut away within the
wood so that only a thin portion
is left under the bark. Within the
rather uneven cut, generally near
the center of the growth, is a small
hole tightly plugged by the "pow-
der post" of a beetle larva. Split
open the branch of a twig, when a
burrow will be seen and the little.
white, soft, hard-jawed larva that
made it will be found, or perhaps
the inactive pupa.-St. Nicholas.

For a period of several hours last

Miss Winsted was standing with

When she saw Voegel's peril she
dashed into the whirling waters and

to Their Posessor.
The woman who desires long life
must have eyes round and wide rather
than long and narrow. If they are
brown or hazel, life will be longer
than if they were black or violet.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute per-
pendicular. The head must be wide
behind and V the ears.
The brow must be wide and full and
well set, and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through it's whole length and have
open, easy, dilating nostrils. This in
dicates a good heart and good lungs.
If the orifice of the ear is low, indi-
eating a deeply seated brain, there is
a better chance Of long life.
The woman who appears taller in
proportion when sitting down than
when standing has a good chance to
live long. If the body is long in pro
portion to the limbs the heart, lungs
and digestive organs are large.

manner, does the Chinaman dis
play his idiosyncrasy Of pleasure

of foreign taste, rushes madly
through the streets on whirring
