A horses hoof is really the same
thing as the toe or finger nails Of
human beings. or of animals having
toes. The hoof grows just as a toe
nail does, and more rapidly on IN
shod horses than on horses wearing
shoes. It's growth IS much faster on
horses that are well groomed and
well fed. upon an average Of a third
Of an inch O month. The hind hoofs
grow faster than the fore hoofs. The

there than at the heel The new
hoof grows without any cracks or de-
fects in the whole, gradually working
down TO where II can be cut OF. lust

TRIED 10 swINDLE BANKER.
Was the Second Time This Man Tried
the Same Game.


Newton, Kan, July 31.-A stranger
entered the First National bank hero
wrote check for $25 payable to him
self, G. w. Cummings, presented it to
the vice president of the bank, D.
MCGOWAN, jr., who was relieving the
cashier while the latter was at dinner
and it was cashed. Mr.. MCGOWAN at
once became suspicious and, upon
looking over the depositorS' balance
book, found that the man had no ac-
count there. He went after the man,
brought him back to the bank and
while one of the other bank employees
engaged Cummings in conversation
Mr.. MCGOWAN summoned the marshal
and the passer of the bogus paper
was landed in Jail.
About two years ago Cummings
tried to work similar game at the
same bank, but was not successful in
obtaining any money. He was arrest
ed, however, and as he appeared to be
insane, and the officers here learning
that his home was in Missouri, he was
taken back there and tried on the in
sanity charge, but was released.
When the check was presented to
Mr.. MCGOWAN he remembered at
once that he had seen the man and
the signature before. He thought for
the moment that the man was one of
the banks customers, consequently
caShed the check. However, it soon
occurred to him where and under
what circumstances he had seen Cum
mings before and he lost no time IN
rounding him I'D.

Kingman, Kan, July 31.-During a
thunder storm William Ravenstein of
Eagle township had the i'll fortune to
have two horses killed by lightning.
He and a force of men were out in
the field stacking alfalfa when the

and took shelter from the rain by
getting under the wagon which had a
header barge on it.
There were four or five men in the
crowd. They had been there but a
few minutes when the lightning struck
and killed the team and knock a horse
down which was tied to the rear of
the wagon. None of the men under
the wagon were hurt except Mr..
Ravenstein, who had one of his arms
considerably numbed.

Lawrence, Kan, July 31.-Rooert
Ray, who was fellow in the depart
ment of economics ana sociology at
the University of Kansas last year,
wrote monograph on 1.-The Farmers
Cooperative Grange of Johnson
County, Kansas which has won for
him a scholarship in Harvard uni
versity. He says that from an econo-
mic and social point of view the
Johnson county cooperative move
ment is one of the most interesting
facts in the United States.
OF all the efforts that have been
made in America to form co-opera-
tive economic societies, the one in
Johnson county is the only one that
has met with any marked success. He
attributes the great prosperity of the
Johnson county movement largely to
the excellent system of business man
agement which has been in vogue
there since the inception of the move
ment. The grange society of the
county has bought several thousand
copies of the monograph from Mr..
Ray for distribution to the many in
quirers after it's form of organization.
