crop materially damaged and will
be very short, berries and all small

ENeLlsH EAp EoR NURSING.

The fashionable craze OF the hour in
London is nursing. A good deal is
being made of the fact that Nurse
Grimston," who has entered train
ing home at Bow in the East End,
happens to the Earl of Verulam's
daughter. AS a matter of fact, the
peerage has supplied a good many
recruits to the profession of nursing
in the last few years.
Lady Eshers first aid classes, held
at her house in Tilney street, have
given an impetus TO the movement,
while the practical interest in nurs-
ing institutions which Queen Alexan-
dra has repeatedly shown is also
largely responsible for the hold which
the vocation has taken on the minds
of women who are prominent social
ly. One of the best known society
nurses is Lady Annesley, who be-
came deeply interested in hospital
work and spent much of her time in
the wards of the city of Dublin hospi-
tails, But for her marriage she would
have adopted nursing as a profession
and in the end she founded village
hospital in the grounds Of her home
in County Down.
Lady Hermione Blackwood, Mar
quis' daughter and sister Of Lord
Dufferin, is president of the Irish
Nursing Association, and among the
Earls daughters who have been to
the fore in the nursing movement are
Lady Katherine Stanhope. Lady Rosa
lind Northcote, Lady Grisele Cheape

said to have been little practical
joke of a couple of boys resulted in the
serious injury of David A. Van Urine,

more serious injury.
Mr.. Van Urine was going home on

ribs on the left side. When he failed
to get UP the boys became frightened
and telephoned the police that a man
was injured at that corner, but they
did not give their names and their
id entity is as yet unknown.

Parsons Pastor Tells of His Church in
Large Type.

Parsons, Kan, April 12.-Should a
minister pay for newspaper space in
which to advertise his church? The
Rev. Cyrus S. Nusbaum, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Parsons,
Kan, believes that it should be done,
and more than that-that it pays good
dividends on the money invested.
Nearly every week the Rev. Mr.. Nus
baum takes a display ad in the Par
sons Sun. Sometimes it is a large one,
and sometimes it is a small ad, but he
says something of interest in every ad.

HIS DIAMONDS GLASS.
Hotel Clerks Dream of Joy Lasts Just
Four Minutes.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 12.-Emery
B. Colson found a million dollars
worth of diamonds on the street here.
He is back on his job as night clerk
at the Chalmers hotel again. He was
millionaire for but four minutes. If
he hadn't shown them to a diamond
connoisseur. he might have reveled
in luxury all day Sunday and probably
had a bad case of the govt this morn
ing.
Co1son was walking along Main
street, when his foot struck a small
tin box on the walk. He picked it up
heard something rattle, and in taking
it into the hotel opened the mysterious
package.
AS the lid came off nine stones
rolled out which made the electric
lights in the Chalmers lobby turn pale.
Ditto Colson.
They ranged all the way from half a
carat to two carats in weight and
dazzled the eyes of those who saw the
brilliant sight.
A diamond connoisseur, who was
called to appraise them, advised
against buying a touring car on the
strength of the find.
They're the real stuff, all right"
he said. REALLY glass"

growing season. Early winter blowing
of all corn fields, followed by planting
as early as it is possible, to escape
frost, will prevent at least 40 per cent
of the injury normally done by the corn
ear worm, and, if consistently practiced
by all members of a community. would
almost If not wholly eliminate it's work.
Destruction of the chfnch bug in its
winter quarters in bunch grass wher-
ever that may be found, and when at
harvest time it attempts to pass from
small grains into corn, Kaffir and milo,
will help the farmer to protect his crop,
and might, if universally practiced, al
most, if not wholly eliminate it as a
factor in corn production.
Lastly, no man can expect to achieve
much success in his fight against corn
insects, or any other insect for that
matter, without making a study OF
them and of methods of fighting them.
Success in this, as in the production of
wheat, corn and all crops, is directly
proportional to the thoroughness with
which we study them, and the condi-
lions under which they grow. We must
live with our corn, and know at all
times how it is getting along. We must
study it's parasitic enemies. Only thus
can we obtain the skill necessary to
protect it from its foes and to enable
it to produce the maximum crop"

Kansas City, Mo-, April 12.-Nellie

SHOOTS AT GIRL, KILLS HIMSELF
Quarrel With Sweetheart Causes
Skeen to Kill Himself.

Coffeyville,, Kan, April 12.-John
Skeen of this city, today attempted to
shoot his former sweetheart, Anna
Holland, and then turned the revolver
upon himself and fired four shots be-
fore fellow workmen could reach him
and stop him. Three of the shots
pierced Skeen's breast within an inch
of each other, and the fourth prob
ably entered the same place as one of
the others. The shooting was caused
by the fancied slight by the girl.
They have kept company for
short time, but the last. couple of
weeks the girl has not been going with
him. He has brooded over this, and
when he came to work he brought a
revolver with him. During the noon
hour he talked with Anna, and asked
her for his ring. She tried to take it
off her finger, but her hand had swo1-
len, and she told him that she would
give it to him at night. He answered
AL right and turned away. When
about five feet away from the girl he
turned and drew the revolver from
his pocket. Just as he took aim a wo-
man standing near by struck his arm
and the bullet went wild. Skeen then
shot himself and died in few min
utes.

Aged Negro, Dead at Fort Scott, Took
Masters Name

Fort Scott, Kan. April 12.-Charles
Savage, age unknown by anyone, is
dead here after an illness of some
time. His death was due to a stroke
of paralysis and old age. He was a
negro with history that smacked of
the pathetic and of the good.
Savage came here in 1866 from
Texas. He knew no mother and had
sister, who may be living, but whom
he never saw after the age of 9 years.
When he was years old he was drag
ged from the folds of his mother's
skirts to stand before the auction
stand, where he was sold to the high
est bidder. He lived with his new
master until he was young man and
the war severed the ties that had
wrought so much distress to him. His
old masters name was Clemmons. The
one whom he served at the time of the
war was Savage. He took the name
Savage and came here. He married
in this city and reared a fine family
of children. His wife, as we'll as the
children, survive him.
