College Cattle Bring Honors to
Kansas

The fat steers of the Kansas
State Agricultural College were
again remarkably successful in
the show ring at the American
Royal at Kansas City this week,
having won a larger number of
champion, first and second priz-
es than the fat steers exhibited
by any other college or by any
private breeder.
TIE pure bred Angus steer,
King Ellsworth, again won cham
pionship hOnOrS, thus sustaining
the reputation he established at
st. Joseph, when he was placed
first among all the Angus steers
on exhibition.
The Galloway steer, Kansas
Jim, took the highest hOnOrs in
his class at St. Joseph, and was
likewise made champion in his
class at the Royal.
First and second prizes were
awarded to the College Angus
in the yearling class as at the
Interstate, and in the two-year
old class the College did better
than at St. Joseph, winning first
and second wards. At the Inter
state they won first and third.
The Shorthorn calf which at
st. Joseph was made grand
champion of all the breeds won
first place at the Royal.
The lots of fat barrows were
shown, one under 200 pounds and
the other over 200 pounds, and
captured first prizes in both class.
eS.
Altogether, two championships,
eight first prizes, four second
prizes and one third prize were
won by the College cattle and
hogs. The final battle for Ameri-
can hOnors is to be at the Inter-
national at Chicago, the first
week in December. 1t is expect
ed that these cattle will win new
laurels for the State and College
at this great exposition.

waited until the distinguished
guests who wished to do so had
spoken to him and then | said to
him with great earneStneSs, "YOu
have made an immortal address. &"
To which he quickly replied,
"Oh, you must not say that,
You must not be extravagant
about it."
Others then came around him
and l did not see him again until
on the train on our way home. He
was suffering from a severe head
ache and lying down in the draw
ing room, with his forehead bath
ed in cold water. He had sent
for me, as l knew, to renew our
talk of the day before, b ut l
could not restrain myself from
saying to him; "You did not like
what I said this morning about
your address, and l have thought
it carefully over, and l can only
say that the words you spoke
will live with the lands lang
uage.
He answered: "You are more
extravagant than ever, and you
are the only person who has such
a misconception of what I said;
but l did not send for you to
talk about my address, but about
more important matters.
l had told him on the way from
Washington that l should be
obliged to leave him at Hanover

probably for that reason that he
