field which is widening every year.

ten years ago there were some IA men

colleges are offering special courses

may qualify by competitive examina-

assured, but where are the men?

BAD CROP YEARS.

"When birds and animals do not
mate at the mating season, it is assign
that a bad year is coming" said a
farmer.
EQUALS, gophers, rabbits and
squirrels all refuse to mate in certain
years. These years afterward turn
out to be bad ones. The quails are
particularly weather wise. By in
stinct the little wild creatures know
that for lack of rain or for some other
reason there is to be grass famine
and a seed famine, and, instead OF
pairing off and mating and setting up
housekeeping in little families Of two,
they remain minated in the large
bands in which they have flown All
winter, living, as it were, kind of
apartment house life. That year in
evitably turns out bad one, though
the bachelor and spinster quails, with
good deal of picking and scratching,
manage to get enough to eat. But
to feed families of little ones in such a
famine year would be impossible.
"In California the squirrels in a
famine year not only do not mate;
they do not even live. They become
dormant. As by miracle, they re-
main dormant until season of plen-
ty comes with the next winters
rains"
"THEsE signs are certainly mis-
leading. saw one the other day
which said old Furs Restored, and
when asked them to restore the set
I lost last year they looked at me as
if they thought was crazy"
"Do you know, 1 had almost
similar experience. I saw a sign
Umbrellas Recovered" and yet when
1 wanted to recover that beautiful
gold headed one that was stolen from
me they refused 10 have anything to
do with the case !"

For ciaar smoker..

When you smoke a cigar you want
a good one. A poor cigar is a rank
abomination and stencil IN your own
nostrils and in those of your friends
within smelling distance.
The trouble with most of US is to
find a cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an exorbitant price for it. 1t
remained for Frank p. Lewis of
Peoria, ILL.,, to solve the problem for
US. His Lewis Single Binder SC cigar
is without doubt the peer of any brand
of 1Oc cigars on the market The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich, satisfying smoking quail
tiles are a delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs
everywhere. In spite of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the sales this year will ex-
coed 100000, the demand being ere
ated solely on the high quality of the
tobacco used.

Quail for the Poor.

The poor of Newton were given a
feast of quail last week. 1t came
about this way: The manager of the
Wells-Fargo Express company discov-
cred a large shipment of quail and
prairie chicken in his possession.
The birds were securely packed in
egg cases and came from some point
in Oklahoma, the consignee being a
commission firm in Chicago. In
handling the egg cases the boys were
convinced that they were too heavy
to contain eggs and an examination
revealed the nature of the shipment.
There were 20 cases, each containing
about 140 birds. Local officers were
summoned and the shipment was con-
fiscated and the birds were distrib-
uted among the poor of the city.

Money For the Rifle Ranges.

Ten thousand dollars of govern
ment money will, by consent of the
war department, be expended by adj
jutant General ]. w. F. Hughes in the
construction of the rifle ranges for
the national guard of Kansas. This
will be good news for the members of
the guard, for it means that about $500
will be available for each company,
and that with this money it will be
possible to secure regulation army
targets and construct a substantial
butt to stop the bullets. The govern
ment requires that these rifle ranges
be constructed on ground upon which
a long time lease lease can be secured,
so that the expense of fixing the range
will not be lost.

Death Must be Proved.

or relatives for a period of sew
years, the presumption of death can
not be raised, decided the supreme
court recently. No matter of the abb
sence is unexplained or if the absen-
tee left without intending to return
and there is a change of domicile,
death, the court says, can at best be
nothing more than a presumption.
The case came from Cloud county
where the heirs of Orrin E. Bennett
asked for a division of the property,
upon the presumption that the father
was dead. They could only show that
he has been absent for seven years.
