Office Papered With Checks.

From the Kansas City Star.
 'No. sir, I'm no tile worker; you'd better send up to one of the mosaic shops
 That's what a paper hanger said to a member of the Stoller Commission compa- ny about three years ago when the firm made known it's purpose to paper the walls of it's offices with cancelled checks. The checks were the accumulation of sev- eral years The idea of using them for wall paper in fanciful designs was a whm that became determination later on.
 The third paper hanger that answered the call agreed to do the work. And he did it artistically. The checks were all of one form and were put on the walls in panels with silt molding around the edges There is np check on the walls that rep

How Long Ostriches Live.

From the National Geographic Magazine.
 Nothing is positively known as to how long an ostrich will live. Some writers claim that it will live 100 years. Ostriches which are known to have been in captiv- ity for forty years are still breeding and producing feathers.
 It is the experience of Arizona farmers that among birds having good nutritious green feed deaths seldom occur, except as the result of accident A dog or other small animal will sometimes frighten os- triches and cause them to run into the fence, which may result in a broken leg. When this happens, the bird may as well be killed, as few ever recover from such an injury.

Guard School Children From Bears

Altoona Cor. Philadelphia Press
 Farmers who send their children to the public school at Plane 10, on the New Portage railroad, have been furnishing them with an armed guard to prevent them from being attacked by a pair of big black bears that have been seen in that vicinity in the last few days.
 The bears have been so bold that chil- dren have been forbidden to venture out alone day or night. and all the men go armed. While no real depredations have been committed by the brutes, they have come so close to the farm houses, always when the men are absent, that they have caused panic among the women
 Posses have been hunting for the bears. but they seem to scent danger and hide in the mountains. The whole country- side is alarmed for the safety of the stock.

and he told her mOre-some of the
little ambitions he cherished
Then he grew petulant-he thought
she might come around to him more
frequently than she did and stay a
little longer. She chided him gently
and told him that she was a nurse and
was under orders just as the soldier in
the army-she had a duty to perform.
But all the same there were extra
moments when she found time to
inger at the bedside of the conva-
lescent-she found them pleasant. One
day during one of these moments
when he was about to get up from his
bed he told her something. 1t must
have been very interesting for she APP
peared oblivious to all else. And then
She said one LITTLE word which seemed
to brighten him up hmm ensely-it
sounded a good deal like yes.
The way that he grew in strength
and health after that was something
of a marvel. 1t wasn't long until he
vas sitting up and around No one
seemed more pleased than the
& anything than the patient himself.
They were around together quite a
little after that He was ready for his
discharge papers from the hospital
and there were real long talks be-
tween the nurse and the young man
it seemed that a whole lot of planning
had to be done. But finally 1t was ar
ranged. The young man said good
bye and the hospital doors closed on
him. He was going to Chicago and
from there he went for a brief visit
home with his parents at Wheeling.
West Virginia.
Miss ora Mathews sent in her resig-
nation to the hospital authorities soon
after. No explanation was given but
the nurses whispered that Miss
Mathews expected to take up the voca-
ton Of housekeeping. There certainly
seemed a lot of shopping to be done by
the young lady.
And finally the romance came to
fruition on the 18th of this month
Miss Ora Mathews of Olathe and J. A
of Wheeling were married
IN Topeka.

further away from his mind than the
day he entered the hospital Romance
and love matters were the last to trouble

much.
The doctors laid a hold of him and
