Harmless Coffee Wanted

A number OF experiments have been

was obtained by certain methods
which aim at subiecting the entire

Of which the eaffein salts are deeom-

amenable to subsequent extraction
with a volatile solvent of caffein. This
procedure is at present employed in
Bremen and In Mannheim, Germany.

'Tll see you shortly" was the curt
professional response.
"Only a second, Doctor! Only q

perturbed one.
"Ill see you shortly" reiterated the
physician, with increasing impatienee.
WhereupoD. with a sigh. the man
took a seat in the general reception.

for he read the morning paper
through a number of magazines, and
played awhile with the Doctors cat.
Then. after a period of half an hour,
the Doctor reappeared. and, in an air
of great eondescension, said to the
erstwhile excited person:
Now, sir, am at your service.
Your turn has come. What can / do

PRIMITIVE ANIMALS keTusuaa
wild Creatures Of Which KanssHs
Thouaht They Were bid Of.

wild Creatures Of Which KanssHs
Thought They Were Rid Of
Some time ago Kansas newspapers
printed q line or two about the dis.
covery OF a white weasel at Oak Mills,
adding that white weasels are ex-
treme1y rare. Lewis and Clark, in
1904, In the journal Of their famous
expedition, speak of having procured
from an Indian on the Missouri "a
weasel which was perfectly white, ex-
cept the extremity of the tail, which
was black" Pei -aps this weasel was
the progenitor OF the Oak Mills ami
NAL. BY the way, Il seems that Kan
sas is coming back to its primitive
condition again, especially as regards
wild animals.
Many wild creatures that we're
thought to have long since disap-
peared from our soil are making their
appearance again. A little over
year ago a paroQuet was killed on the
Remsburg farm east of Potter. PaTO-
quets swarmed in this locality in the
early days. A beaver is occasionally
seen IN Nue MlSsOuIl river dlOhS lue
Kansas shore. They were formerly
as plentiful in Stranger Creek as
muskrats are now. Last year Herbert
Rogers caught a beaver in the Kaw
River near Lecompton.
Sam and Will Mcconnell r.illed a
large black bear near Elk City some
time ago. John H. Hicks of Kingman
county killed a fine specimen OF
bald eague out there recently. John
Burns caught a white squirrel near
Salina last January. i was a perfect
albino and had pink eyes. Charles
Hustled, near Lawrence, comes for
ward with black pocket gopher. cap
tured near that place II is on exhibi.
tion at the State university.
Some tine ago a deer was roaming
about in the western part of Atchison
county, but We have not heard wheth-
er it was captured or not. Deer were
once plentiful and Atchison county
has stream named for them. Elk.
antelope, buffalo, wild turkeys and
other game which once abounded
here have entirely disappeared. but
We may expect a stray specimen Of
most any Of these primitive beasts
and birds to bob up any old time.
