GOOD CIGAR WAS WASTED
Man Was Sure He Would Have a Berth Until Told the Train
 Was a Freight.

Do you know what time the next train will pass through here going north ?" asked a man who had been compelled to stay over night in a small town in Arkansas.
 There will be one in about twenty minutes" replied the ticket agent
 Bully! Do you ever smoke?"
 "Yes, sometimes"
 Here's a cigar that I bought in Dallas. You can't get anythinga like it in this town. think you'll enjoy It. They charge IT cents apiece by the thousand for that brand"
 Thanks I'm afraid it may spoil my taste, but I'll take chance on it, just the same"
 Say, can you fix me out with lower berth for St. Louis?"
 'T can telegraph to have one re- served for you on the train that pass es through here at 5:SO tomorrow morning"
 'No, no; want to go on the train that's coming now. Can't you fix me out on that one?"
 Nope. I'm very sorry can't do it."
 70, come onI you can arrange it some way"
 "No, it's impossible.

 You won't be able to get berth from him."

bator? He is going to start the ma chine tonight, and has stocked up with cold storage eggs. I told him that we would all be up to see how the machine turned out. Maybe we won't have some fun with him then!"
 Miss Abbie went homeward with her head in a whirl Why should peo- pie pick on Ezra as the butt of such a joke? What should she do about it? Tell Ezra of his mistake? No, he should never learn from her that he had been an object of ridicule
 Suddenly her face lighted up with smile, showing that the right idea had come. Never had she been more cheer ful and serene than during the next three weeks. At times her eyes would twinkle as at some secret joke, and more than one village gossip won- dered what good fortune had befallen Miss Abbie.
 Ezra was not an early riser, but on the day that the incubator hatch was due he awoke just before dawn. It seemed to him that heard the barn door creak. Dressing himself quickly, he went out to investigate. Everything was in perfect order, with no sign of any disturbance.
 But hark! What was that sound? a faint peep from one of the eggs in the incubator? Were they already be- ginning to hatch?
 Never had he so many callers as walked up the path that day One and all they turned away, bafied, bewild- cred and sure of only one thing-that the joke was not on Ezra.
 There were 2S chicks out the last time that I counted" their host ex- plained jubilantly, land of course they just keep a-coming. tell you it was a great streak of luck for me when got that matching machinei"
 When the hatch was over and the chickens consigned to the care of homemade brooder, Ezra cleaned out the incubator and brushed up the broken egg shells. Among them he noticed a bit of gleaming black, and stopped to pick 1t up.

GERMANS BIT OF STRATEGY
Unknown Gentleman Puts One Over on Livery Stable Owner Who Was
 Inclined to Be Suspicious.

A German gentleman wanted to take days drive through the coun- try. He applied to a stable for the horse and carriage. The owner, not knowing the German, was slow to give him the team. Finally the Ger man pulled out a roll of banknotes and said: q will buy your horse and rig, provided you will buy them back at the same price when I re turn this evening"" The dealer, not wishing to offend probable future customer, consented. When in the evening the German presented him. self and expressed his pleasure at the ride, the dealer, according to agreement, paid him back his money. and the customer started to take his leave.
 'I beg your pardon, sir!" exclaimed the dealer; 'but you have forgotten to pay for the hire, you know"
 Pay for the hire? Why, my dear sir" coolly replied the German, '1 fail to see that. If you will exercise your memory a trihe you will agree that I have been driving my own horse and carriage all day. and now you have bought them back they arc yours Good-day, sirl"
 And he left the astonished dealer to reflect.

Old Dutch Windmill.

before the war at Lawrence, but this one was blown down several years ago.
 Schwarz. He came from Holland. He had been a miller in his native land and when he came to Kansas to seek his fortune on prairie farm he found it was. many miles to a mill.
 Schwarz saw in this an opportunity for he had been a miller in the old country and the strong winds of Kan sas reminded him of the ocean winds that sweep across the dikes of Holland and turn the mills dotted all over that country, so he conceived the idea of making the bold, free winds of the prairie pay toll by turning mill that should grind the peoples grain.
 But there was no machinery in this country for such mill, so with great care and pains, he drew on paper drafts of every wheel and cog and lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin coin, Neb., had the plans worked out and the parts forged in the foundry there.
 And for nearly forty years the old mill has been doing duty, working when the wind blows, resting when the calm comes; teaching it's genial master many lesson in patience, fur nishing food for the public roundabout, and a competence for the man who saw an opportunity and had the skill and perseverance to accomplish what was. in that day. a really great under taking.

Topeka, Kan.-An old Dutch wind.
 mill, the kind one sees in pictures of the canals of Europe, has been in op- eration in Kansas for 40 years and it is still doing duty, making the festive Kansas zephyr do the work that is ordinarily required of water power or steam. The mill stands on the high prairies at Reamsville, quaint little old village in Smith county. It is 15 miles from a railroad. It was one of the first settlements in the county and many Dutch live on farms near there and their meal and flour is ground as in the old country, by the old windmill. It is the only mill of the kind in the state. One was built

The Delicious Sweet Pepper.

Your garden ought to be well sup piled with that most palatable vege- table, the sweet pepper. Many peo- pie imagine that all peppers are too hot to be eaten with comfort, but this is a great mistake. The only hot portions are the seeds, and they can be removed before cooking.
 Green peppers are cooked in va riety of ways, and there Is no vege- table that produces more table en- joyment than these vegetables if a little study and care is given to their growth and preparation for the table.

It proved to be tiny seal. that made his eyes open wide in astonish- ment Surely there could be no mis- take. It was the setting to a ring that Miss Abbie had worn for many years, and would have been instantly recognized by any of her village friends.
 How came the seal out of the ring? Above all, how came it to be lying there, among the egg shells in the in- cubator? Miss Abbie had not been among his visitors-of that he was very sure. Wondering would neither solve the mystery nor restore the ring to its owner, so a few moments later he was knocking at her door
 Miss Abbie welcomed him cordially. and ushering him into her cozy sitting room, made cheery comment on the weather.
 Tt Is a fine day." Ezra admitted but that is not what brought me here I have just found something that l mistrust belongs to you and no one else"
 He extended the seal, and Miss Alb bic took it at once, gazing at him with startled eyes: For perhaps the first time in all her life. she felt i'll at ease in his presence.
 Why. where did you find it, Ez- ra?" she gasped.
 That is the queer thing about 1t, Abbie. It was in my incubator, and should like to know how 1t managed to get there''
 'I never wanted you to know any thing about it." she faltered.
 About what?"
 Why. the incubator The boys knew that those store eggs wouldn't hatch, and they were coming up to laugh at you"
 But they did hatch" protested the bewildered Ezra. T have 45 chickens in my brooder this minute"
 You have the chickens" Miss Alb bic admitted. But they didn't come from those eggs"
 Not from those eggs!" Ezra echoed blankly. Then where on earth did they come from?"
 Miss Abbie's confusion was increas- ing every moment. It was decidedly becoming, frightening her dark eyes, and bringing an almost girlish flush to her cheeks.
 q set four of my hens the night that you set the incubator, and came over early in the morning and changed the eggs"
 What morning?"
 Day before yesterday-when they were just ready to hatch"
 Whatever made you do it, Alb bie?" Ezra's tone was gentle as well as wondering.
 TT didn't want you to be disap- pointed" she faltered, 'or have them all laughing at you"
 There was silence for a moment, then Ezra spoke again.
 'T didn't suppose you'd care, Abbie. If I had ever dared to think so-"
 For once in her life Miss Abbie was speeches.. But any one seeing her face at that moment would have known that her days of wisdom were at an end.

lnsurgent lnsincerity.

In view of the inconsistency of
insurgent senators-insincerity seems
to be a better wOrd-On the question
Of reciprocity with Canada. these
statesmen are in receipt of numerous
criticisms from the people. OF the
senators who have faced squarely
around on reciprocity, Senator Cum
minis of Iowa is one of the most
conspicuous. and quite naturally many
of his constituents have taken the
trouble To forward to Washington
quotations from a speech made by
him to Iowa farmers some years
ago on this very question.
At that time Mr.. Cummins was
governor. and much of his political
strength was due TO his advocacy
of tariff reduction. In his inaugu-
raj speech of 1904, Governor Cummins
said on the question of reciprocity
with Canada:
1t has been said that in order to
obtain these changes it win be neces-
sary to let into our markets Canada s
agricultural products, or some of
them l believe this to be partially
true, but let me ask the farmers of
Iowa whether they think they would
lose in the exchange. Which would
you rather do. lose the markets which
will be created by our vast exports
into Canada or meet Canada in COM
petition in the things which you
produce? l assert confidently that in
the sharp struggle with Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri you
would never be able to discern the
influence of Canada in corn, oats. hay
barley. cattle, horses, hogs, butter and
eggs.
The insurgent senators are not
bothered by questions of consistency
or of principle, however, provided
that they can succeed in obstructing
the progress of administration policy
their one desire is to make trouble
for Mr. Taft.
The president is proving himself
a practical tariff reformer, and the
most partisan democrats in congress
are cordially cooperating with him
in the reciprocity program, while
the insurgent senators who call them
selves republicans are rapidly losing
such influence as they had in the
country.
