BILL SAPP ENERGIES.
Says Fred jackson Is the Only Hope
of Republican Machine.

Keep your eye on Fred S. Jackson.
The machine crowd will have to back
him as the Republican candidate Tor
governor, in order to beat Stubbs-
This is the prediction of a d1S1ntereSI-
ed spectator of the Republican factional
war, Col William F. Sapp of Galena,
the best fighter in the Democratic party
in Kansas.
THE Republicans are certainly in
great mix up" commented Sapp- They
are fighting each other like wolves, AMI
nobody can tell whether the square
dealers OF the machinists are on top But
when election comes around, they wiz
all fall in together and vote the Ike
publican ticket That's their way
Now you can say for me that the
Democrats are doing nothing Abso-
lutely nothing. I haven't been able 10

Col Sapp. and he mentioned several

s-How about Col. Harris?''
Il was just coming to Harris" SAID
Sapp- He is all right have nothing
against Harris
Col Sapp said that in his judgment
w r. Stubbs would be candidate for
governor
And he would be a strong can
didate, too said Mr.. Sapp- Il saw
Stubs at the Baltiore in Kansas

/, because it is Democratic. All your
planks are Democratic planks. He
insisted that it was good Republican
ism, but I said, NO, you have it pretty
we'll disguised, but the ears still stick
out and I recognize it as Democracy"
THE machine crowd is hard pressed
for a candidate Grant Hornaday Will
never get very far and in my judgment,
the machine will eventually be forced to
get behind F. S. Jackson, the present
attorney general Jackson is a man who
has been cutting some hay; he has been
leaving a swath behind him that PEG
pie could see, and the result is that he is
a ready made candidate for governor.
All the machine will have to do will be |
to line up for him. But even with jack |
son it Is doubtful whether the machine |
can beat Stubs to the nomination.

A REALISTIC ACT.
Amusing Story Of Joseph jefferson az
Rip Van WinkIe.

Amusing Story Of Joseph jefferson 40
Rip Van WinkIe.
While he was playing Rip Van Win
kle at Chicago Joseph Jefferson once
went to the theater very much exhaust
ell by long days fishing on the lake.
AS the curtain rose on the third act
1t disclosed the white haired Rip still
deep In his twenty years nap. Five,
ten, twenty minutes passed, and be did
not awaken. The audience began to
get impatient and the prompter uneasy.
The great actor doubtless knew what
he was about, but this was carrying
the realistic business too far. The fact
was that all this time Jefferson was
really sleeping the sleep Of the just,
or. rather, OF the fisherman who had
sat eight hours In the sun. Finally the
gallery became uproarious, and one Of
the gods wanted to know IL there
was going to be nineteen years more
of this snooze businessw
AT this point Jefferson began to
snore. This decided the prompter, who
opened small trap beneath the stage
aud began to prod Rip from below.
The tagged comedian fumbled In his
pocket for an imaginary railway ticket
and muttered drowsily, Going right
through ductor."
At this entirely new reading the au-
dience was transfixed with amazement
when all at once Jefferson sat up with
a loud shrek, evidently In agony. The
exasperated prompter had jabbed him
with a pin. Consciousness Of the sit
nation came to him. and the play went
on after that with a rush.

Opposition to Trousers.

The modern custom Of wearing trous.
ers was taken from the military dress
introduced into the army by the Duke
of Wellington during the Peninsular
war. In early days these were known
as Wellington trousers" after the duke.
When they were coming into general
use at the commencement of the nine-
teenth century the religious world and
the fashionable were most determined
in their opposition. A clause in the ori
ginal trust deed, dated 1920, OF Shelf
field Noneonformist chapel provided that
under no circumstances whatever shall
any preacher be allowed 60 occupy the
pulpit who wears trousers" But this
was not all Some doubts were express
ed IN many quarters whether a man
could be religious and appear in trousers,
One of the founders Of the Primitive
Methodist body remarked TO a colleague
in the ministry that trousers wearing.

Methodist minister, twice president Of

trousers, and among the Methodists was
the last to follow popular fashion in
this respect, From Chambers Journal.

This fayorite sport of childhood and
youth is of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England In the train Of the Norman
conquerors. Its French name, Colin
Maillard," was that Of a brave war
rior, the memory OF whose exploits
Etill lives In the chronicles Of the mid
die ages.
In the year 900 Liege reckoned
among its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin
He acquired the name Of Maillard from
his chosen weapon being d mallet
wherewith iii fight he used to crush
his opponents. In one OF the feuds
which were of perpetual recurrence tn
those times he encountered the Count
de Lourain In pitched battle, and, so
runs the story, In the first onset Colin
Maillard lost both his eyes. He or
dered his esquire to take him into the
thiekest OF the fight and, furiously
brandishing his mallet, did such fearful
execution that victory soon declared
itself for him.
When Robert OF France heard Of
these feats at arms be Iayished favor
and honors upon Colin, and 30 great
was the fame Of the exploit that it
was commemorated In the pantomlmc
representations that formed part Of the
rude dramatic performances Of the age.
BY degrees the children learned to net

OF familiar sport.
