Simple Lie in washington.

Senator Beveridge's magazine la
ment that it is impossible to be any
body in Washington without the in
come of millions of dollars is contem-
poraneous with Secretary Cortelyou's
demonstrations that the senator's gilt
tering generalities are a libel upon
Washington. The secretary of the
treasury ranks way up" in Washing
ton as we'll as in Wall street, and yet
the secretary, during this current
week has been eating his lunch cons IL
what Washington calls a "hamandeg-
gerry" That was his custom as a 5000
stenographer, and that is his custom
as secretary.
1t would be interesting If Senator
Beveridge would extend his observa-
lions of the ways of millionaires. and
add to their spendings a catalogue
of their accomplishments. Then it
could be placed beside the record of
the gentlemen who think that his
promotion to the cabinet entities him
to cream at his midday meal at the
dairy.-New York Times.

EFFECTS OF MEAT INSPECTION.
Meat packers of the country must
regret the opposition they offered last
year in congress to the passage of
law requiring more stringent inspec-
ton of packing house products des-
tined for interstate commerce. The
fight is all over now and the reports
of the bureau of statistics show that
splendid results have followed the en-
actment and enforcement of the law.
The growth of export trade in meats
of various kinds in the last year has
been wonderful and adverse criticism,
formerly SO common in foreign mar
kets, seems to have entirely disappear
ed Packers and the people may re-
greet the sensational methods that were
employed in the expose of the packing
house methods, but the wisdom of the
resultant legislation can no longer be
disputed. Consul General Wynne of
London has furnished the department
of commerce and labor with a report
made by the Grocers' association of
London in which the American meat
inspection system is most cordially ap-
proved and the British public assured
that even the most fastidious need have
no hesitancy in buying and using
American meats with an assurance that
they are pure and wholesome. The

KANSAS COMMENT

LAND IN WESTERN KANSAS.
western kansas land is still on the
Doom and those who have invested in
it seem to be we'll pleased with their
bargains. Many Doniphan county peo-
pie have bought land in the western
part of the state and many have moved
there this spring. The editor OF the
Chief has been familiar with the west
ern part of the state for years and
made trip out there a couple of years
ago and disposed of quarter section
he owned at that time. He realizes now
that he made mistake in selling then
as the land has more than doubled in
value. AS soon as he can spare the
time he is going out and take a look
at the country and write 1t up for tie
benefit of the Chief readers, believing
that there is a good chance for invest
ment and that Doniphan county people
should know the facts In regard to hat
country just as they exist Land val
ues are going up all over the country
and land which could be bought cheap
short time ago, is now soaring. We
believe that Doniphan county is good
place TO live, but land is getting SO high
here that man with small means cam
not touch it, and the man with small
farm and several boys coming ON IS
anxious to get land enough for all Of
them.-Troy Chief.
HIGH FINANCE.

ance, though 1t would be hard to make
the people who were putting up to pay
dividends believe 1t honest. Mr.. Harrf-
man simply capitalized the debts and
operating and construction expenses.
This reminds US that it was a Burlin-

of Kansas the declaration that our
debts were evidences of our prosperity.

house at Rutherford from which
family was removing; various pieces of
furniture were on the sidewalk a mir
ror of heavy glass leaned against the
wall. Seeing the dog in the mirror
the bulldog growled and showed its
teeth. OF course, the dog in the look
ing-glass answered the defiance by
barring its fangs.
The bulldog instantly sprang at its
reflection, only to butt its head and
rebound. Picking itself up the dog
dashed at the mirror again with such
force as to smash it. The jagged
glass cut the dogs head severely. In
furiated, smarting with pain, it ran be-
hind the mirror and here and there
among the furniture searching for its
shadowy adversary. A number of per-
sons halted to watch it. Just then
girl came along leading a pet dog. The
bulldog sprang at the pet and bit 1t
badly before Benning could drag 1t
away.-New York World.

Century Old Frog

Live frogs have now and then been
found by coal miners buried in pockets
where they are supposed to have been
bottled up a thousand years and more,
but 1T remained for Henry S. Brice, a
farmer, of this town, to discover one
of the croakers in d bed post, where he
had lain dormant for almost a CEN
tury.
Mr.. Brice decided last week to chop
up into flrewood an old bed of maple
that had been lying around in his at
tic since he inherited the house from
his father, nearly fifty years ago. The
bed was handmade, having been built
for his parents at the time of their
marriage, and was known to be be-
ago it outlived its usefulness, but the
owner disliked to part with it for
sentimental reasons.
When Mr.. Brice got to one of the
head posts he found it SO full of knots
that it would not split readily, 50 he
sawed it in halves. When he struck
the center of the post near the foot
he found 1t hollow and gave it a blow
with an ak. AS the post fell apart out
rolled a frog almost white in color. 1t
was of the ordinary bull variety. but
smaller than common. AS soon as it
struck the shed floor it slowly gathered
its legs under it, sat up, blinked, and
looked around. Then it took a trial
hop, CAPPED and rolled over on its side.
Small bits of red meat were given 1t,
and it soon became as lively as any
frog.
