LAS Told in the Hills"

One of the highest salaried compa-
MES appearing in melodrama will be
seen in LAS Told in the Hills" which
will be at the Gennett Monday night.
The play is one that depends on the
individual merits of the members of
the cast rather than on scenic effects
and situations that in real life are i'm
probable or impossible.

Where the Cock O. the Ecc.e Performs
Like the Whirlins Dsryieii.
Dancing is by no means confined to
quadrupeds. A writer in the Strand
says that it is the principal play of
many birds.
Perhaps the finest Of bird dancers
is the South American cock o the
rock. These birds have regular dane
Ing places, level spots which they keep
clear Of sticks and stones.
A dozen or more of the birds assem-
sle around this spot, and then cock
bird, his scarlet crest erect, steps into
the center. Spreading his wings and
tall, he begins to dance, at first with
slow and stately steps. then gradually
more and more rapidly until he is
spinning like a mad thing. At last,
tired out, he sinks down, hops out OF
the ring and another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great
dancers, and so are the American
sand hill cranes. It is most ludic'
rous sight to watch a crane dancing:
he is so desperately solemn over the
whole performance. He looks like q
shy young man who has just learned
to waltz and is rather ashamed Of the
accomplishment.

Sans Souci

After all, parties with men in at
enhance are pleasanter than those
with only ladies. At least that is the
opinion of every member of the Sans
Souci circle.
About a month ago Mrs. ]. Fred
Cooper and Mrs. F. S. Parker decided
to unite forces and entertain the circle
husbands as we'll as the ladies at a
6 O'Clock dinner at the home of Mrs.
Cooper, and it was unhesitatingly de-
clared afterward that there was more
fun at that evening circle than at any
other three afternoon circle gatherings
this season.
With the memory Of this pleasant
evening in mind, Mrs. G. A. Morse
and Miss Ada Wilcox decided to enter
tain together and include "the men,"
On Thursday evening, March 81, at
6 o'clock every member of the "circle"
and every husband who could pos
sibly attend, were on hand at the
home of Mrs. G.. A. Morse, where a
sumptuous dinner awaited them, every
dish of which, from soup to ice cream,
had been prepared with reference to
the tastes of "the men,
After dinner the gentlemen repaired
to Mr.. Morse's eden" for a short
smoke social, and the balance of the
evening was spent in cards and finch.
These parties are the cause of the
contended expression to be found on
the faces of the Sans Souci men these
days, for now they are quite sure that
they "belong."

PATENT OFFICE Is FLOODED
Press Of Inventions Leads to Demano
for Larger Quarters.

Press Of Inventions Leads to Demane
for Larger Quarters.
The inventive breed Is not dying out
in America. The commissioner OF
patents at Washington calls loudly for
larger quarters, more clerks and big.
ger pay for overworked examiners.
There is such a flood of new devices
pouring into the patent office as was
never seen before. The examiners are
fairly swamped and are full year
behind in their work.
Naturally enough, motors and sub
marine and aerial navigating devices
lead the list Modern man insists
upon flying, and the inventor who adds
speed to his passing to and fro upon
the earth, in the air, or in or under
the water is certain of his reward.
The inventors are no believers in
the early coming of peace among the
nations, for improvements upon weap-
ons and new explosives are well nigh
as numerous as new motors. Yet with
all this cunning for gain and racing
for fame on the part Of the inventors
the chances are that some unconsid-
cred trife like the wooden ball with q
rubber string or the globe catch for
women's purses will win the largest
rewards in the future as in the past.

Fhty Years on Same Farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Carl Reger, who live
seven miles west of Bonner Springs.
Kan. celebrated their sixtieth wed.
ding anniversary at their home yester-
day. Nearly al! Of their fifty-five liv-
ing descendants were present.
In 1850 they went to Leavenworth
county, and six years later they
moved upon the farm where they now
live. Many of the Improvements"
made upon the farm fifty years ago
are still standing. An old log barn
built chiefly by Mr.. Rieger's own
hands now serves as a chicken house.
The OH orchard is located where it
was first set out. although nearly all
the trees have been replanted. The
first well sunk on the farm still does
duty. eve will never leave the old
farm" said Mr.. Rieger yesterday.

EXPENSIVE GREEN TURTLE.
Its UnequaIed Flesh Often Brings

Its UnequaIed Flesh Often Brings
Fifty Dollars Pound.
The flesh of the green turtle often
brings $50 pound" said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes to us
from the coral reefs of the West In
dies
The turtles are caught in nets
among the rocks They are very care
fully brought north. They are deck
passengers at first, but as the weather
grows cold with the ships progress
they are penned in warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
It's a different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands. II
a native is bringing turtles north he
nails them fast to the deck by their
fiippers. Strange creatures that they
are, they seem to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
The calipee and calipash are re-
spectiyely the flesh from the breast
and back of the green turtle, tid-bits
which l have heard epicures say are
unequaled in the earth beneath, the
heavens above or the waters under
the earth This meat is superlatively
rich, delicate and tender. Live green
turtle fetches wholesale from a dime
to a quarter a pound.
What makes the meat so expensive
in the end is that out of a 140-pound
fish you'll only get two pounds of
calipee and one of calipash. Several
times when there has been a tight
turtle market the chefs of millionaires
and of certain extravagant hotels
have offered me 81 a pound for live
turtles. At that rate your calipee and
calipash would come to quite $50 q
pound.

BURNT CLAY FOR HIGHWAYS.

Good Roads Made From Gumbo in the
State Of Mississippi.
Congress some time ago established
an ONCE of public roads, which Is in
structed to conduct experiments and
devise methods for improving the
roads of the United States. The Office
has done a great deal to arouse inter

cessity of good roads and has origina'
ted several means of making good
roads economically. The latest dis.
cevery is that of burning clay roads In
Mississippi.
In large areas in the south, particu-
larly in the valleys of the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, sedimentary clays
are found very generally. In these
areas there is little or no sand and
the clays are of particular plastic
and sticky variety. These sticky clays
are locally known as "gumbo' and

Mrs. Sprague Entertains

A large number of ladies were made
happy, yet puzzled, over the dainty
invitations sent to them on March Is
by Mrs. G. M. Sprague, to meet at her
house on the following Saturday.
They were OF the usual form with the
following note attached:
"Bring some article that you no
longer need but which someone else
may want"
What shall it be? That was the
question. One lady telephoned that
she intended to take her husband.
"Wrap him up and tie him tight, -
was the reply.
Mrs. Sprague, the hostess was as
sisted in receiving and serving her
guests by Mrs. ]. F Wright, Van aunt
from Mantorv;lle; Mrs. Clara Paine
of Long Prairie, and Miss Esther
Sprague.
A profusion of delicately shaded
pink carnations decorated the luxuri-
Gus home.
Baskets containing many packages
were PASSED around with the injunc-
ton: eff you don't get what you like,
trade with someone else." 1t is i'm
possible in our limited space to give
even a glimpse of the lively scene
which followed. 1t made one think
of"Exchange on Wall street" with a
lot of fun thrown in.
Mrs. sprague has certainly upheld
the reputation the ladies of our city
sustains for original and unique en-.
tertaining.

large AnteIopes Easily Run Down by
Pack Of These Animals.
A specimen of the Cape hunting dog,
Lycaon pictus, has lately been added
to the mena gerie in the London Zoo
logical gardens. 1t is an animal which
does not take kindly to captivity and
the individuals that from time to time
have reached the collection, have ever
been short lived.
This species bears strong resem-
blance to a hyena, says the Rhodesia
Herald, not only in it's markings, but
in the general appearance. It. is tall
dog, fairly slim in build, and with long
ends in a short muzzle; the ears are
very large.
The ground color of the coat, which
is rather scantily haired is yellowish;
the markings, which are disposed
about the body and limbs in very ir.
regular manner are short streaks anu
blotches of black, white and gray. The
tail is of a fair ler 18th, somewhat
thiclly haired, and ends in a whitish
tuft The muzzle is black, and black
stripe runs down between Tia ayes.
The Cape hunting dog has wide

DEAD SON LOOKED IN.
Curious Happening During the South
African War.

Preaching in the Congregational
church, Seaford, England, Mr.. Comp
ton Rickett, M. p, the other Sunday
related the following coincidence,
which he vouched for as true.
A gentleman, whose son was at
tached to the British forces in South
Africa as doctor during the Boer
war, paid visit to two of his sisters.
They remarked that they were glad
his son had returned home. On the
father replying that his son was still
in South Africa, they exclaimed that
they had seen him looking through
the glass panel of the door of the cor
ridor about six p. M, just before the
fathers arrival.
The father returned to London, and
next morning made inquiries at the
war Office. He was told that informa-
ton had just been received that his
son had died the previous evening
from enteric fever, the time being six
p. M, English time.
