DUKES OF OlottRe Caever0.
At the formal banquet Of the six.
teenth century the man who carved
the meat was bound with the red tape
of precedent. When carving for dis
tinguished guests he had to remember
that certain parts of the birds or meat
must be set aside. In carving for his
lord and lady he was expected to ex-
ercise great discretion in the size of
the pieces he sent around, for ladies
will be soon angry and their thoughts
soon changed, and some lords are
soon pleased and some not, as they
be of complexion" He was expected
to have the rules both Of The kitchen
and the peerage at his knife's end. A
pike. for instance. must be dished up
whole for a lord. and in slices for
commoner folk The rank of his d.
ners, too, determined whether a pig
was to be served up whole, sliced.
plain or with gold leaf, or whether
new bread or bread three days old
should be eaten.

A Tall Corn Story.

This is said to have been in a let.
ter written home by an Eastern visi-
tor: "MUst of the Kansas streets
are paved, grains Of corn being used
for cObbleStoneS, while the cobs are
followed out for sewer-pipe. The
husk when taken off whole and TODD
on end makes a nice tent for the
children to play in. It sounds queer
to hear the feed-man tell the driver
to take dozen grains of horse feed
over to Jackson s livery stable. II it
were not for soft deep soil here I
don't see how they would ever harvest
the corn, as the stalks would grow up
as high in the air as Methodist
church steeple. However, when the
ears get too heavy their weight presses
the stalk down in the ground on an
average Of ninety-two feet, and thus
brings the ear near enough to the
ground to be chopped of with an axe.

That we are returning to the Gus
toms and practices OF our daddfes is
evidenced by the fact that we hear OF
grist mills being erected in all por-
tiOns OF the county. For many years
past our farmers have scorned the
home ground lmeal, preferring the
bOlted stuff THAT comes to US from
the city mill at city prices, but a
change has come and we can hear the
hum OF the griSt mill once again.
This means a return of prosperity as

them caught fire at different times.
These were the buggy shed, the ma
chine shed and the carpenter shop. A
strong southwest wind. which was
blowing, carried sparks and burning
pieces of shingles for a distance If
$50 yards, making it extremely dan
gerous for most of the other build
ings at the agency.
Those destroyed were dry frame
structures and burned like tinder so
that the work of destruction was ac-
complished in the space of a ve'y
few minutes.
Though the cause of the fire is un-
known, it is believed that the flames
originated on the west side of the
barn. The wind was thereby enabled
to sweep the blaze across the hay, ig-
hitting the entire barn at once, where
as if the fire had started from the
other side it would have been COM
PEELED TO work its way more slowly
back across the building against the
wind.

OKLAHOMA BOYS OUT
ON PECULIAR TRIP

Carl Livingston, young man from
Tulsa. Oklahoma, who passed through
here this morning, is upon peculiar
trip. He and his brother have made
a wager to travel from their home
town in Oklahoma to Seattle and re-
turn within six months time with
$1,000 which they are to earn upon
the road.
According to young Livingstone
they may travel in any manner they
see fit and may earn money by any
means within their power. 1t is mere
ly necessary for them to accumulate
$500 each within the next six months
time and they are confident they will
return with the cash.
The two young men have vaudeville
stunts which they give in some towns
and in addition to this they have 9TH
er gratis" A patent suspender
which they sell seems to be the best
money maker.
Up to this time, according to Carl
Livingstone, they have been able to
save $125 each and they have been
out but two months and half. They
hope to make much money while up
OH their return home.
In case the young men are able to
fulfill the conditions of their wager
they are to receive $1,000 each fro.
the Producers supply company of Tul-
sa. If they do not win they are to
pay that company $500 each.

CONGRESSMEN MAY NOT
TOUR IRRIGATION PROJECTS

Washington, Aug. 2.-Western
senators who are members of the ir-
rgation committee have about con-
cluded not to encourage the trip
which the committe proposed to take
Immediately after adjournment of
congress, and in all probability the
trip will be abandoned.
1t was the intention to spend two
months visiting all government rec
lamation projects. Senator Jones of
Washington, suggested that the COM
mittee could do better work by hav-
ing subcommittee, each senator in
vestigating irrigation matters in his
own state, and this probably will be
done.
Senator Borah suggested that in his
Judgment the real troubles which need
correction arise here in Washington,
either with the department or with
congress for not legislating, and said
he could see no real benefit that
would accrue from two months tour
by the whole committee.

COSTLY FIRE At
INDIAN AGENCY
EIGHT HORSES, HAY AND
GRAIN DESTROYED SATURDAY
Loss Estimated at Five or Six Thou
sand Dollars, With No Insurance
Origin OF the Fire Mystery
Other Buildings of the Agency
Saved by the Fire Fighters.

Eight head of the best horses be-
lonking to the agency on the Una
tilla Indian reservation were burned
to death in a fire which destroyed
the barn and granary at the agency
a few minutes after 10 o'clock Sat
urday night. The loss will probably
exceed $4,000 or $4,000, though Major
Swartzlander has not yet been able
TO make out an estimate.
In addition to the horses and build
ings, 1000 bushels of wheat, a large
quantity of hay, and all the harness
belonging to the establishment were
destroyed. Since the government car
ries no insurance, the loss is total. Not
the slightest clue to the cause of the
fire has been obtained and it bids
fair to remain an unexplained mys-
terry.
1t was shortly after 10 o'clock that
the fire was discovered by Industrial
Agent CARRIER. The entire building
was then in flames and two minutes
after he sounded the fire alarm, Ma
jor Swartzlander was out of bed
and directing the work of saving the
other agency buildings. By that
time, however, the heat from the
burning barn was so intense that he
could not get within a hundred feet
of the building. Though CARRIER
says he heard the horses kicking in
the barn before the flames were dis
covered, they were quiet when the
agent arrived on the scene and it is
blieved that their suffering was Of
short duration.
The major deeply regrets the loss
of the horses in this violent manner,
but any attempt to rescue them was
out of the question and they We're
probably dead when the fire was dis
covered. Six of the horses were es-
pecially good ones and included the
best owned at the agency. These
were the four draft horses and the
majors driving team. The latter
team could not have been purchased
for $3.50 and the other horses were
worth $3.50 or more each.
The granary was so close to the
