A Cowboys Breakfast,

T. B. Sweet, Topeka capitalist
stopped at Abilene in the early DAYS
at the best hotel in the city. He
asked for his breakfast. The walters
took no special notice of his appear
ance, or at least did not guess that his
appetite was different from the aver
age patrons.
Give me some eggs said Mr..
Sweet, and waited.
In a little while the waitress came
back. In a bowl she had full dozen
eggs, all hard boiled.
Sweet gasped and ate what he
could, protesting that she had brought
him too many and that he didn't Just
know how hard boiled eggs would
strike him for his first meal of the
day.
why, that's a regular COWBOYS
breakfast" responded the waitress

The Sovereiqn's Coachman.

Mr.. Blyth, the kings state coachman
for the last 80 years, is now in his list
year, and is about to retire with his
majesty's permission.
Mr.. Blyth has had an interesting
life, and among his many pleasant ex-
periences was that he drove the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con
naught, the late Duke of Albany. the
Princess Royal and Queen Maud of
Norway upon their respective we'd
ding days.
Nowadays, at state functions. the
cream horses which draw the kings
state coach are mounted by postillons
so that driver is not needed. It is
therefore probable that the office of
state coachman will not be continued.
The sovereigns coachman is a per-
sonage of no small importance and
the coachman- of the late Queen Vic
toria was very well aware of the fact.
1t is told of him that on the occasion
Of the jubilee of 1887 he was asked
whether he was driving any of the
royal and imperial guests staying at
Buckingham palace, says Home Notes.
NO, sir" he replied. Il am the
queens coachman; / don't drive the
riff-raff."

Three weeks old is rather young for

are five or six weeks old. In fact l
find it good practice to dip the
lambs when about this age, if the
ewes have been shorn couple Of
weeks previous.
On the shearing of the ewes the
ticks will pass to the lambs, then by
dipping the lambs the ticks are eff

that causes many deaths. The odOr
of fowls affected is nest obnoxious,
extending even to the meat The dis
ease is caused by parasite which
creates a growth on the shank and
feet of the fowls much as coral is
grown in the sea. AS it accumulates,
it stiffens the joints of the shanks
and toes, often causing lameness and
inability to move actively about.
Fowls seriously affected cannot dig
or scratch to any extent for their
food. Perfect cleanliness and an oc-
casional use of some good liquid lice
killer on the roosts will keep it away.
The liquid lice killer destroys the
mites that create the ailment One
of the simplest remedies is to smear
thoroughly the affected parts with
soft soan, using stiff-brush to paint
it on, and rub it in. This can be
followed up every night. Or every 9th
