Mrs. Bradys story is that two years
ago her ten-year-old boy Eugene was
struck on the back of the head by the
principal with a ruler and that the
blood flowed. This Is denied by Miss
McGrath, who claimed that the boy
lodged against the ruler. The mother
asserts, however, that the principal
told Eugene not to show. his bloody
handkerchief to his mother, and also
attempted to hide the bloodstains on
the collar of the lads blouse by turn

EN AFTER MIDNIGHT FIRE.
Joe leIghfy Burned Out Of Rouse and
Home Tuesday Morning.

AT about 2 90 this morning the
alarm of fire called the boys out
of bed to make a long run to Joe
Leighty's residence in the west
part of town, which was practical
ly burned down before they got a
stream of water flowing.
Joe says he does not know how
the fire started. that it had full
Roadway and the house was half
burned before they discovered it.
They lost practically every
thing of The contents only being
able to get q few articles out.
Coming at the time of night it
did, there were no teams on the
streets, and the hose cart had to be
pulled the long distance by hand,
and the nearest hydrant was the
one at the hospital cornor. Most
of the firemen were called out by
telephone. -Four men dragged the
cart nearly half the disance.
We are told there was some in
surance on the house and some on
the contents, but do not know how
much.
Later-lt is learned that they
carried $500 insurance on the
house and 5000 on the household
goods, payable to Mrs. Leighty.
They will be thus partially pro-
vided to meet their great loss.

4 "BAT EAH' in TOPEKA.
Wis Story gu Brave fGpekanS was
Told in Tuesdays Capital.

while celebrating some happy
occasion, a sSix-fOoter' weighing
about 900pOunds entered a lower
Kansas avenue Joint. and after TAX
ing a few drinks announce that he
was the fighter of fighters, and
could whip any two men.
He spoke at some length to
them on the come forth and be
killed" plan. A bystander final
ly informed him that his tale was
becoming tiresome and told him
to quiet down or he would throw
him out. With a yell that would
have done credit to Comanche
warrior he reached for his hip
pocket and drawing a weapon told
TIE crowd to line up along the
wall.
Tliey'lined up. Dance, said
the bad man, and they danced. In
fact they did just as he told them
. to. They .crowed like ROSTERS.
They stood on their heads and
sang songs and did various other
acrobatic stunts. What the end
might have. been is a matter of
conjecture had not one of the
crowd escaped through the back
door and carried the news to the
police.
When he officers arrived they
found that the weapon was an or
binary tack hammer. Quiet was
soon restored and the celebrator
was taken to the station where he
was released. as this was his first
ofense, on.his promise to be good.

The SKIN KHs CaIf.

The farm separator is surely
winning its way into the confidence
of the farmer who keeps ten COWS
or over, as we predicted it would
several years ago when writing
our book entitled The Skimmilk
Calf" says the editor of Wallace's
Farmer. From the standpoint of
the calf, WITCH is really the proper
standpoint for the farmer, there
is no room for argument. Nature
raises the calf on a balanced
ration, fed sweet and warm and
often, and she visits every de-
Walton from this with merited
retribution. Because the necessities
of the farmer requires him to
have milk as well as beef for the
keeping of the cow during the
year, he can't undertake to work
miracles, and the attempt to grow
a thrifty calf on anything else than
a balanced ration Of some kind is
in the nature Of things an attempt
to work miracles.
To grow a healthy yOungster
the farmer has just two things to
do. One is to feed sweet and
warm, and the other is to put
back the equivalent of the butter
fat that has been removed from
the milk. The best method of do
ing this, in fact the only practical
method, is to buy a farm separator.
In this way he can separate the
milk as fast as it is drawn and he
can have the skimmilk in its best
condition in the shortest possible
time in the stomach of the calf,
where it belongs. For the butter
fat that he has removed he can
substitute carbohydrates in the
shape of shelled corn or corn meal
and oats ground together in the
early stages of calfhood, or fax
seed meal; but the cheapest and
best thing after the calf is six
weeks old is just plain shelled
corn. Topeka Advocate.
