Phyllis Sears was good looking, and
she was smart. She had written and
torn up two pieces Of poetry, she had
written and read numerous school
compositions, and she had written one
essay on the subject of intemperance.
Miss Phyllis fully realized that she
was literary, but she would not have
pursued the line except for the en-

father. She continued to be good look

A bow is always to be found on the
left side of mans hat. This is sur
vival Of the old days when hats were
costly articles. In order to provide
against the hat being blown away In
stormy weather a cord or ribbon was
fastened around the crown, with ends
hanging so that they could be fastened
to part of the attire or could be
grasped by the hand. The ends fell on
the left side, of course, as the left
hand is more often disengaged than
the right. When not required it was
usual for the ends to be tied in a bow.
The bow became smaller and smaller,
but it still remains and is likely to do
so as long as men wear hats.

1t is in France that the frog was
first generally used for food, and it is
in that country that the industry of
frog farming has been most largely
developed The green frog exists
abundantly throughout France wher-
ever there are marshes ponds or sedgy
margins of rivers or bays that con-
tain fresh or slightly brackish water.
The best outfit for frog raising is
one or more shallow ponds or reser-
voirs filed with grasses and other wa
ter plants. 1t should be so situated
that the water can be partially drawn
off so as to facilitate the labor of
catching. If, as is often the case. the
pond already abounds in frogs they
are simply protected and left for
year or two to propagate. If food
does not prove abundant the owner

PORK PACKER USED KNIFE
ARRAY in Wolff Packing Plant Will
End in Court.

Sometime Friday during working
hours at the Wolff packing plant
Johnnie Hoeffner, a youthful worker
in the sausage department, viciously
and with evident intent to kill 1eaped
upon Peter Kamloski, Russian CO.
laborer, and with his eight inch
butcher knife slashed Peters right
arm to the bone severing leaders
which will deprive him of the use of
two fingers for life.
The Russian lad came to the county
attorneys office this morning with his
arm in a sling and secured a warrant
for his assailant. His version of the
attack is probable.
Hoeffner had first, in a preliminary
argument, thought it quite a novel
idea to grab the hot water flushing
hose and parboil the young Russian.
Kamloski then thought 1t proper to
attribute some choice knotty epithets
to his playmate when that person
dashed at him holding the big knife
aloft.
Young Russia" lodged throwing
up his arm to guard, receiving the
plunge of the blade across the fore
arm. The wound is considered very
serious and the knife thrust was ap-
parently made in intent to kill so
that Hoeffner may pay dearly for his
temper,

COMMISSIONERS TO ACT
VIII Likely Order bikes Built at
Evening Session.

| The last call for protests on the
dixie proposition for the South Side
defense was made by the commission
ers this morning, with but few objec-
tions resulting. and those merely filed.
! In spite of the commissioners de-
cision there is the recourse of a num-
| Der of property owners within the
benefit district getting together and
court inside period of 80 days.
According to the county attorney
opinion there is no legal objections to
the reviewers report except that the
sewers and mains can not be taxed as
they would receive no benefit. NO
piece of property can be included in
the district, either, on which the bene-
fit, assumed to be derived and which
will be assessed against that property,
exceeds the damage probable from
another flood for that would consist
of confscation of property.
Still, although there is much prop
erty included in the district which has
never been submerged, the property is
neverth eless benefited by the dixie and
will be protected from possible floods
for a number of years to come.
In speaking of the objections. Ed
win A. Austin, attorney for the board
of viewers said: I'VE have estimated
the benefit to most of this property as
incalculable for the reason that it is
protected not against one flood but for
years to come. OF course it would be
difficult to figure the damage TO De
resultant from a flood at some future
date and of a power we know nothing
about but it is certain that all the
property included within boundary
line set a foot above the high water
mark of 1903 will be benefited very
materially. AS an average the benefit
has been estimated at per cent of
the valuation. At the river side more,
at the boundary, less, for there is
nearly s2,0O0,00O worth of property
there while the dikes will cost
$117, 900.
"Even though the water has not
reached some of the lots included,
there is good reason to suspect that
being within the level they might be,
but whether or not the water would
bother them, the supreme court has
decided in the Roby case of the South |
Topeka drainage district, that though
the water had no chance to reach his
place. the protection kept the water
off the streets and enabled him to get |
to the city and was therefore bene- |
fit"
1t is considered very likely that the
shawnee commissioners will accept
the report of the viewers and plan to |
proceed with the construction before
the session ends. 1t is possible, how |
ever, that County Attorney Schenck
will find some obstacle blocking such
action
