SHERIDAN'S RUSE.
II Settled the Dram atist's Account
With His Wine Merchant.

with tbs wine merCnant.
1t is related of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan. the dramatist and statesman,
that. always In debt, he had among
his creditors the brothers Chalie, who
were the partners In a wine firm In
1775.
One day when he was giving q din
ner party to some distinguished people
Sheridan sent for one of the brothers,
told him he was now able to settle his
account and invited him to the dinner
party, asking him to come before the
hour for some private conversation.
Chalie arrived early. and he was no
sooner IN the house than Sheridan sent
off a servant with a note to the clerk.
desiring him, as Mr.. Chalie was ia
voring him with his company, to send
as soon as possible three dozen Of
burgundy. two dozen of claret and two
dozen of port, with a dozen of old
hook.
The unsuspecting clerk sent the
wine, with which the guests were SO
pleased that they asked where it came
from. Sheridan. turning toward Chalie,
said, II am indebted to my friend here
for all the wine you have tasted and
am always proud to recommend him."
1t was not until the following morn
ing that Chalie realized the double
meaning in Sheridan's words. The
debt was Cancelled.

A Queer Fish.

A mAle nsh which matches the young
of its mate is the Chromis pater-
familiaS. It is found IN the Lake
Of Tibertas. Palestine. Strange to
say, this Industrious fish matches its
young IN its mouth. When the female
has spawned In the sand, the male
approaches and draws the eggs into
his giils. where they remain until
Matched. when they struggle out of
their confinement into the parents
mouth. AS many as 200 perfect
young are sometimes found in the
mouth of an adult male. How the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing the young is a mystery.
The grown fish is about seven inches
long and one and three-quarters wide,
Its back Is olive green, shot with
blue. and the belly is silver white,
marked with green and blue. Near
ancient Capernaum some hot springs
form a small stream which runs into
the lake. and it Is In these warm
waters that the chromis abounds.

SUMMER AND FALL
TOp-Dressing and Seeding Dow

TOp-Dressing and Seeding Down
Many farmers are finding it to their ad.
vantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt to get much better "catch"
than they do when they follow the
usual practice and seed down in the
spring.
The same is true regarding top dres.
sing grass land. Some of the most pro-
gressive farmers put on top dressing i'm
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate of soda the
following spring.
If you will send your name and P. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, he will send sou free, postpaid,
several formulas for mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to top dressing and
fall seeding, together with prices of in.
gradients, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and
will be found thoroughly reliable.

; POWDER AND GUNS.
Evidence That They Were Used Long
Before the Christian Era.

GNiucuCC mat t0eV were OSeo Long
Before the Christian Era.
There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder aud artillery
goes far back in the dim ages of the
past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long be-
fore the Christian era. prohibited the
making of war with cannon and
guns or any kind of firearms. Quintus
Curtius informs us that Alexander
the Great met with fire weapons in
Asia, and Philostratus says that Alex
ander's conquests were arrested by
the use of gunpowder. 1t is also
written that those wise men who lived
In the cities Of the Gauges "over-
threw their enemies with tempests
and thunderbolts shot from the
walls" julius Africanus mentions
shooting powder in the year 275. It
was used In the siege of Constantine
pie In G6S, by the Arabs in 600. at
Thessalonica i'll 904. at the siege OF
Belgrade in 1913, by the Greeks in
naval battle in zoos, by the Arabs
against the Iberians in 1147 and at
Toulouse in 1918.
1t appears to have been generally
known throughout civilized Europe as
early as 1900, and soon thereafter 1t
made its way into England, where 1t
was manufactured during the reign
of Elizabeth. and we learn that a
few arms were possessed by the Eng
fish In 1910 and that they were used
at the battle Of Crecy In 1885,

Civic Federation Has Begun the
Campaign


The State Civic Federation has
started out on a campaign of educa-
ton in the matter of Sunday observ-
ance. 1t is actuated by the high
est motive, the members believing
that they represent a decided major
ity of the law-abiding and peace-lov-
Ing citizens of our state.
The trainers OF our Kansas laws
and those OF nearly every state in
the Union recognize the value of
the Lords day, or Sunday, as day
set apart by the enlightened human
family for upbuilding in moral and
spiritual life. They felt the impor-
tance Of preserving this day for
these special purposes and express
this feeling in these words" Every
person who shall wilfully disturb
the peace and quiet Of any peson,
family, or neighborhood, shall, upon
conviction thereof. be fined in a
sum not exceeding 500 or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not ex-
OOCOlAS (hIOO HOuIuS.
They also took pains to specify
many games which. at the time of
the framing of the law, were con-
sidered detrimental to the purpose
of this day.
There can hardly be a doubt in
the minds of candid people but that
public game of baseball, conducted
as such games are today, whatever
may be their sentiments regarding
the game itself,if played ON the Sab
bath, tends to rob the day of it's in
tended purpose, and to train the
people to disregard it as day for
rest, recuperation, and moral and
spiritual improvement.
1t is often claimed that men who
toll need the recreation of baseball
games. If there be such felt need,
and we are truly interested in the
well being of laboring men, then we
should find a place for such games
in the midst of their toiling days
rather than violate the law of our
land in its intended purposes, offend
the great mass of our christian pub.
