The Wizard.

Some years ago an expedition from
the University of Pennsylvania was
sent to one of our southern states for
the purpose of observing a solar
eclipse.
The day before the event one of the
professors said to an old darby be-
longing to the household wherein the
scientist was quartered:
tom, if you will watch your chick
ems tomorrow morning you'll find
that they'll all go to roost at IL
o'clock"
Tom was, Of course, skeptical; but
at the appointed hour the heavens
were darkened, and the chickens re-
tired to roost. At this the negro's
amazement showed no bounds, and he
sought out the scientist
Professor" said he, chow long ago
did you know dem chickens would go

fessor, smiling.

Latest Kansas Events.
An Old Claim Allowed.

The court of claims at Washington
has just allowed $97, 466.02 for inter-
est and discount on bonds which Kan
sas issued to pay bounties and ex-
penses of the Kansas militia in the
Civil war. Gov. Hoch has received the
notice of the allowance of this claim
and he Immediately started a move
ment to use this money in building a
memorial to the Kansas soldiers of the
war and to those of other states who
now reside in Kansas. The govern
ment paid the face value of the bonds
many years ago but it has always re-
fused to pay the interest and the dis
count on these bonds. John G. Nichol-
son, state claim agent, has been work
ing on the case many years and final
ly obtained an allowance of almost
the full amount of the claim The
total amount asked for was little
more than 100000. The allowance
of the court of claims goes into the
sundry appropriation bill in congress
and probably will he available in a
few months.

Trouble for Fake druggists.

Trouble may be expected by the
drug store jointists. DR. s. ]. Crum-
bine, secretary of the state board of
health and chief food and drug in
spector, has been investigating the
drug store Joints in Parsons, and is
preparing to begin a campaign against
these places. He has found that the
druggists" do not keep their drug
stocks up to the standards required.
Some do not have more than a few
dollars worth of drugs in the front OF
the store, but have hundreds of dol
lars worth of liquor in the rear room.
These places profess to be drug stores
and they are liable to punishment I'M
der three laws. The first is if they
have any impure liquors on hand they
may be punished under the pure food
law, for liquors sold as drugs must be
up to certain standard. They are
liable under the prohibitory laws re
quiring a druggist to make every pur-
chaser sign up for liquors. They are
also liable in some instances for pur-
porting to have a drug store for the
sale of medicines and not having in
the store a person who has passed an
examination as druggist and is not
competent to fill prescriptions.

ALL AFTER THE BLUE Rssson
Remarkable Unanimity of Knowiedqe
in Sunday School Glass.

Now, children" said the teacher OF
the infant class of Sunday school, Il
told you last Sunday that each of you
who learned verse from the Bible
and recited it to-day would receive a
large blue ribbon Let me see how
many of you have learned a verse"
There were 20 or 80 boys and girls
from four to eight years of age ranged
about her in a circle. For a moment
there was no response to her question.
Then bright looking girl timidly
raised a hand
All! Julia has learned a verse; the
teacher said Il am sorry that no
more hands are raised. I had hoped
that nearly all of you would get blue
ribbon But 1 suppose your mammas
and papas have been very busy and
some of you forgot Well, Julia, let US
hear your verse;
Walk in the light" the little girl
repeated. Then a boy who sat near
Julia put up his hand.
"Oh!" exclaimed the teacher, Char
lie has verse, too. What is it, my
boy?''
Walk in the light" responded
Charlie.
Well" said the teacher, you
learned the same verse, didn't you?
It's a very good verse, too. Walk in
the light 1 hope we may all do SO.
Now, is there any one else who has
learned verse? Why, L see five.
six, seven, eight hands raised. 1 will
hear from you, Arthur, first"
Walk in the light said Arthur.
The teacher looked rather hard at
Arthur, and said:
Gladys next. What is your verse?
Speak out loudly SO that all the class
may hear"
Walk in the light" shouted
Gladys.
By this time all but two of the
children who had not been heard from
were holding up their hands. The
teacher looked at boy whose name
she had forgotten and asked: What
verse have you Iearned?'
Walk in the light" replied the
whole crowd in chorus, each little one
apparently fearing there would not
be another chance to win the blue
ribbon.

A Rare Fossil.

The skeleton of a three-toed horse,
one of the rarest fossils known to
paleonnologists, is being mounted by
H. T. Martin in the museum of tie
University of Kansas. This fossil is
the connecting link in the evolution
of the horse from a five-toed animal to
The present single-toed or single-foot-
ed form. The skeleton is only three
feet in height and has the form of
modern Shetland pony except that 1t
has a smaller hoof on each side and
little to the rear of the large hoof, and
that the neck is shorter than that OF
the Shetland pony.

Later With BIood-Poison in Leg
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.

About twelve or fifteen years ago
I had a breaking-out, and 1t ftched.
and stung so badly that 1 could not
have any peace because of it. Three
doctors did not help me. Then I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cutieura Resolvent and
began to get better right away. They
cured me and have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to
anything. About two years ago 1
had la grippe and pneumonia which
left me with pain in my side. Treat
ment ran it into my leg, which then
swelled and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid it would turn to
blood-poison. I used his medicine
but it did no good, then 1 used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.

General Demand

of the Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
