The Man With the Poker Chip.

'In the yesterdays of long
ago" as the saying runs (Which
is in this case ten or twelve
years since) there was species
of individual running free upon
the public domain which can best
be designated as "the man with
the poker chip When the bus
mess establishments of Olathe
consisted of small grocery store
and saloon located near the sec
ton house, says Criterion, the
man with poker chip was having
his day. Most Of the country
Immediately surrounding the
town was a bowling wilderness
and thrce-fourths of the business
of the village was done at the lit
tie saloon near the railroad track.
Stock raising was one Of the
principal industries and the wild
and woolly cowboy was one of
the important factors in the So
cial life of the community. There
were many kinds of Cow punch
ers" and they represented all de-
grees Of western energy and un-
restrained enthusiasm, but the
genuine tough man." the man
who led the parade. was the fell
low who had poker chip strung
on his hat string. This was worn
against the back Of the bad mans
head and was usually translated:
''Touch me il you dare" This
was the kind Of specimen that
gloried in shooting up the
town" and making the boast that
knew no law. He was the typi-
cal western cowboy such as you
read of in books and which has
been so closely identified with he
development of great many
frontier districts. But after
while the country began to settle
Up more extensively and assume
the appearances Of higher civil
cation. As the country progress
ed the wild, free emblem of un-
bridled freedom was gradually
relegated to the background un-
til he became practically engulf-
ed by the modern civilization.
The typical, genuine cowboy is
rarely seen in these regions 1t
the present time. A great many
men still drive the lowing herds
to and from the ranges but the
majority of them are modern
business men and as peaceable
and law-abiding as any class OF
tradesmen. The day of the wild
and woolly cow-puncher' is
about gone and its passing is
identified with the advancement
of the country, but the pioneers
of this region will always carry
in their memory the emblem Of
western freedom, the man with
the poker chip.

Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or

Symptom treatment is treating the
result Of your ailment, and not the
cause. Weak Stomach nerves-the

ness, always. And the Heart and
Kidneys as well, have their controlling
or inside nerves. Weaken these
nerves, and you inevitably have weak
vital organs. Here is where DR..

A Talking Chicken.

San Jose, CAL, June 17.-Afte,
ten years of experimenting, Clinton
Fl. Willis, ranoher on the Monte
rey road, has produced chicken
that can talk.
The fowl is the sixth generation
of a cross between a parrot and
guinea hen, but in every oharacteris-
tic except the lower half of it's bill
and the arrangement of it's toes, the
bird is chicken.
The upper half of the bill ia
straight like that of guinea, while
the lower part is clearly a parrot
beak. Its toes are arranged two and
two, instead of three and one, as in
the barnyard fowl.
at present the chickens vocabu-
larry is limited to "Morpin' Clint
"Chaw~ terbacker, Clint" and a
three-syllabled word.
The existence of the strange bird
was learned by the visit to San Jose
of j. I'll. Middleton, a dime-museum
proprietor of Cincinnati, who offered
5000 for the fowl. Willis refused
the offer, as he will try to improve
the breed and wishes to be known az
the Burbank of the bird tribe.
