POSTAGE Stamps,

It is often desired to separate post
age stamps that are stuck together
without destroying the gum.
This can be done by dipping the
stamps in water for few seconds
only, shaking off the excess of water
and heating with a match as much
as possible without burning.
The heat expands the water between
the stamps and separates them, SO
that they can be easily pulled apart,
and are ready for use

New York Nov 18.-The importation
of diamons and other precious stones

about $40, 900, 900. They say that the de-
crease is chiefly in diamonds.
The falling off since the beginning of
October has been especially marked. In
that month the imports We're worth
only 40 per cent of those of the corre-

FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Being Spotter Not One of the Duties of
the Ellis Mayor.

Hays, Kan, March 5.-The
jury in the case of the State VS..
Ed Griffith, mayor of Ellis,
brought in verdict of not guilty.
Mr. Griffith was charged with
having notice and knowledge of
the violation of the prohibitory
law and that he had failed to adj
wise the county attorney of the
fact and that he had failed to
furnish that official list of wit
nesses by which these violations
could be proven. Several wit
nesses testified that they had
been with Mr.. Griffith and had
had some beer with him. Dave
LaShell, an ex-jointist, caused a
commOtiOn when he took the
stand and said that he had sold
the defendant some whisky,
futher that Mr.. Griffith had noti-
fed him to close up his place
on circus day.
A great deal of time was spent
in getting a jury as many of the
jurors stated under oath that
they did not feel that they could
try the case impartially because
they were prejudiced against the
law. This case has caused a
great deal of interest and there
was a good sized delegation of
the Temperance union in atten-
dance throughout the trial.
Many people felt that it was not
exactly right that Mr.. Griffith
should be made to suffer, mas
much as the same parties who
testified against him could have
furnished him with evidence to
put the Joints" out of business,
but they seemed to care very lit
tie while the places were running,
but jumped on Mr. Griffith in
stead. The statute provides that
the fine for not reporting to the
county attorney is not less than
500 and not more than $780,

The'Atchison Globe thus sees
the evolution of the real up-to-

watch the evolution of the girls
who work in dry goods stores.
AS a rule the girls who take
places in the stores are very
young and rather green looking
The first morning they come to
work with braids down their
backs, and wearing dresses that
show the top of their shoes They
have big waists and not much
figure Little by little they begin
to change. They begin on their
hair, and gradually get large
pompedour and then their skirts
become longer, and their figures
begin going in at the waist, until
within a few weeks, the new girl
stands behind the counter look

To remove a cough you must
get at the cold which causes the
cough. There is nothing so good
for this as Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup. The liquid cold
relief that is most quickly effec-
tive, that stills and quiets the
cough and drives out the cold.

KNOCK OUT THE CANNED GOODS HABIT.
Raise Our Own Vegetables = Give the
Boys and Girls a Chance.

Boys and Girls a Chance.
For all these years in western
Kansas, too many people have
kept to the old habit of buying
vegetables for twelve months of
the year. Too many farmers
children never taste fresh toma-
toes, peas, beans, cabbage, ETC.,
much less, strawberries, black
berries, raspberries, cherries
and plums. It is all right for the
old man" to say in a pompous
fashion: I'VE can buy straw
berries cheaper than we can
raise Them, but when the good
old summertime" comes he
usually forgets to buy them, or
he swears at the price and at the
box with the bottom in the mid
die" and buys one box instead of
four and when he gets home the
poor children of the rich farmer
Tor he talked rich in the spring.
get four berries each, just enough
to make them mad, and they vow
they will go to town and work
just as soon as they are older.
There is not farm in western
Kansas that cannot produce
enough garden stuff to practical
ly keep the family in fresh table
vegetables from June to October,
and then enough can be stored in
the cellar and attic, and put up in
home fashion to last from octo-
Der on around to June again.
: There is not town or city lot
that could not furnish a ton of
vegetables a year if properly cul-
tivated. 1t would improve the
appearance of the town very
greatly, and unemployment to
many boys and girls. Clean up
the back yards, haul out the old
tin cans and start the plows and
spades.
There are not enough straw
berry beds, not enough cherry
trees, nor enough blackberry
bushes in Kansas. Why should
not every town take up with this
movement for contests among
the boys and girls in vegetable
gardening, flower gardening, po-
tato growing, and connect the
idle lots with bright boys and
girls who would other wise be
idle?
Why not have a great revival
for gardening among the boys
and girls if we old folks are too
lazy or "sot" in our notions to do
much? Give the boys and girls
chance to make little money
or to raise enough vegetables and
berries to eat and to beautify the
farm or town home. Let every
body talk it up and then if our
ladies of the town and the teach
ers of the schools take hold it will
be success
