The pioneers of Kansas VIII never
forget the buffalo bone age" When
central and southwestern Kansas were
settled the prairie was strewn with
buffalo bones. Those were hard times
in Kansas and the gathering of these
bones enabled the early settlers to
live while they were getting their
claims broken out for the producing
of crops.

very many at that-had literally moth

no buffalo, for this was in the late

plains, and these bones were the only
thing that had a commercial value
and they were utilized. They were
hauled in great wagonloads to the
nearest railway, often from Go to 100
miles away and sold
The horns were the more valuable

No little sensation was caused in
Hammond last Saturday evening es-

Kelley and Fred Morrison both of
Hammond were married IT was
learned yesterday that their quiet we'd
ding took place last Thursday ana
their friends and relatives might still be

through the marriage license column IN

fact. Although it Is known that they are
married neither Of their Hammond
friends or relatives have seen them
withe the exception Of the brides sis
ter, Miss Kitty Kelley, who spent a
short time with her in Chicago last Fri
day not knowing that her sister was
married.
It was an open secret in Miss Reil-

marry Fred Morrison despite the strong
opposition her parents always showed
against the young man.

Omaha DistiIlers VIII Hereafter DO
Bottling I'm Bond.
Since congress-. some years ago. enacted
the bottling in bond law eastern distillers
have freely made use of the privilege
granted thereby and the demand FOR bot
tied In bond goods has grown to very
large proportions more than 80 per cent
last year over the year previous. Under
the recently passed pure food law, which
becomes effective on January / next, the
sale OF bottled In bond goods will In all
probability increase in yet larger proper
tiens. The object of bottling in bond
Is to assure to the consumer a whisky
Of full strength. full measure. more than
4 years old and unmixed with any foreign
materials.
To meet this growing demand Messrs
Her g. Co. have arranged to bottle their
Golden Sheaf Bourbon and rye WHISTLES
In bond and the necessary revenue stamps,
one of which is fastened over the neck
OF each bottle have been especially
printed by the Treasury department at
Washington and will be supplied by the
collector of internal revenue here. under
whose supervision the bottling is carried
on. Messrs. Her & Co. expect to secure
very large share OF the patronage for
this class of goods and expect to make
their bottling In bond establishment an
important branch of their business.
The freight from the east. which on bulk
goods figures from five to ten cents per
gallon, amounts to from 20 to 10 cents per
gallon on the case goods. or from 50 cents
to 81 per case which the purchaser will
save by buying the Omaha goods.
There has been in former years some
what OF a prejudice In favor of WHISTLES
produced In the east, but intelligent con-
sumers and dealers have commenced to
realize that just as good goods are pro-
duced here as anywhere and that to ship
whisky to Omaha is somewhat like car
rying coal to Newcastle; besides, probably
nine-tenths OF the whisky sold as Ken
lucky whisky never saw Kentucky at all,
but under the new pure food law that will
be made impossible and every locality will
have to stand on its own merit.
Messrs. Her a Co. are about to let the
contract for a large additional bonded
warehouse so as to increase their facilities
for aging goods, as only goods years
old or over can be bottled In bond, which
requires. therefore, very large amount
Of storage. Their enterprise deserves sue

CHERRY TREE ACT EcLIPsED
F1ogsed, Then Ripe Fruit
Appears.

Harry Lewis. the 12-year-old son of r. J.
Lewis OF Indiana Harbor, outdid the
famous cherry tree act of the late George
Washington when, after wrecking the
orchard of his fond parents. and receiving
the regulation reprimand for telling the
truth, he caused the missing fruit to re-
appear on the tree.
Harry IL a close student of the history
Of the great American people, and recently
II occurred to him that It might be well to
emulate the actions of the founder OF the
nation.
An apple tree in the back yard aided
him in his laudable desire. but he was
short the Ratchet, so he was forced to
do the best he could by stripping the tree
of its winter fruit.
Mr.. Lewis, on his return home in the
evening. noticed the dilapidated appear
ance of the apple (tree) of his eye, and
on questioning his son and heir received
the stereotyped couldn't tell lie" mono!
logue
The irate parent sustained his part In
the soul stirring drama with the aid of
q club, and when II was all over Harry
went to bed and slept on his face.
The next day Mrs Lewis had made UP her
mind to render the occasion a memorable
one by adding to the ordinary menu. apple
pie. With this object in view she had
purchased apples on Saturday and brought
them home.
Early in the morning Mr.. Lewis arose
and went into the back yard to view
the remains of his orchard He took one
look at the tree and hurried back to
the house to call the partner of his sor-
rows.
Together they went to the back door
and gazed on the tree groaning under
the weight of 20 cents worth of fine ripe
apples.
For a time the thing was regarded as
a miracle, for the apples which had pre-
viously dsngled from the branches of the
tree had been mean and unripe. A close
investigation. however. led to the identih-
cation of several apples on the tree as
those purchased the preceding day by
Mrs. Lewis, and disclosed the fact that
they were held in their places by thread.
Harry was not further fogged, but was
made to pluck the apples and help in
their peeling for the pie.

ting act In two weeks.-Chicago Inter

WHY SHOULD SHE REPINE?
Punishment self-Inhicted by a Woman
whose Lover Was shown
the Door.

Caroline Osborn, then a beautiful girl.
took a vow twenty-five years ago that she
would never speak to any man, not even
her father, because the latter had ordered
her lover from the house, and that she
would never willingly look upon any man
again.
II was in Bakersville. in the LAtchfeld
hills. near Waterbury, Conn. that the
tragic story began. Caroline who is now
a gray-haired woman. has kept her VOW.
When she appears in public. which Is sell
dom, she is always hooded and heavily
veiled. Her lover OF twenty-five years ago.
gentleman named Lumpkins. is said to be
= wealthy merchant in New York state
citv.
There is nothing TO show that Lumpkins
made any attempt to see her after he
was ordered from the house. On the con-
trary. the fact that he did not see her
and continue 20 WOO her and marry her,
despite her fathers orders. is sut1icient 10
prove that he did not take the eourtship
nearly as seriously as she did, and should
have convinced her long ago that her
father was right In ordering him from the
house. and that she was lucky when he
stayed away.
No lover who Is worth powder enough
