AGED TRAVELLER TELLS
OF HIS ABILENE VISIT

In the Evangelical Visitor M. M
Hoffman has an interesting story Of
Ibis trip from Pennsylvania to Kan
,sas. He went to Wichita where ht
visited his son and where he heard
~. H. Engle speak. Then he con,
tinues: after a few days we went
Ito Abilene, where we were met AZ

by request Of Sister Forney we stay
ed there five nights. On Sunday
morning we went to Sunday school.
There was an attendance Of about
l120. Rev. Musser taught the Bible
class. After which Bro. Hoffman
preached o very interesting sermon.
After service we visited Bro. Ben
jamin and Jeremiah Engle's and
many other friends, but failed to see
but very few who started In life
with me. Those who have passed
away are BENJAMIN Gish, John Engle,
Cyrus Lenhart, John Graybill, ED.
Jesse Engle and a very loving broth
err. ELI Hoffman. These all have
gone from labor to reward. After
this Bro. Forney took me to. sister
Fannie Hoffman's. where l met her
daughter and husband, missionaries
from India, and on my return stop
ned a few minutes with Bro. Noah
Hershey. He said he is very happy.
We then returned to Abilene. Next
day Bro. Forney took me to visit
a nephew Of mine, Benjamin Engle,
of Moonlight, and stayed all night.
The next morning my nephew took
me to visit, Abraham Engle's and
Rev. Brightbill; then again to Abb

WAS MERELY AN INQUIRY.
Judge Moore Tells How New Flach
Story Started.

Judge o. L. Moore says the story
of Flack being located started with
no basis of fact that he is located.
1.-THE newspapers said he this morn
ing, "have made great deal more
out of my inquiry concerning the
existence of a reward than the facts
would Justify. The fact is that |
have no clue to Flack's whereabouts
and know Of no one that has such
a clue. The only basis for the re-
port published in the papers is that
a person who had lost considerable
money by Flack's defalcation asked
me to ascertain IL there was any re-
ward up for Flack's apprehension
l inquired at the governors office
and also at the bank commissioners
office, and when l learned that no
reward was up / inquired If any one
would show a disposition to search
for Flack whether the governor or
the bank commissioner would put up
a reward"

ABILENE AND JUNCTION
CITY PLAY TIE GAME.
abilene Failed to Kick Goal Making
Score Hill.
Iron saturdays Daily.l

| It was q hotly contested football
game yesterday at Junction City when
the Abilene high school team met
the Junction aggregation on the
gridiron. Because Stanley failed on
goal kick both teams broke even
with q, HILL score.
In the first quarter Junction car
ried the pig skin across the goal line
but failed to kick goal. Abilene
came back In the second quarter.
With a forward pass by Huffman to
Stanley, Stanley got away for q 40
yard run and was downed on the
one yard line. Another play and
Abilene scored its first touchdown.
Stanley failed to kick goal. Score
s to s.
In the third quarter Stanley made
another good get away and planted
the pigskin behind the goal posts
for the second touchdown for Abb
lene. Stanley kicked goal making
the score LIB.
In the third quarter Junction in
! vaded Abilene's camp and success
fully carried the inflated oval over
the goal line for it's second touch
down. Junction kicked goal tieing
the score. Abilene was unable to
shove the ball across the line for
another score. Score I'LL.
Abilene used the forward pass the
greater part of the game, getting
away for large gains. Junction used
the old style football. The Abilene
team worked like machine and kept
the ball in functions territory the
greater part Of the game. Abilene
carried tn, ball within a few yards
OF the goal posts three times, but
was unable to carry the pigskin any
farther.
Stanley was the ground gamer for
Abilene. Nicolay, Huffman and
Rogers played their usual good game.
On arriving home from Junction
City last night the team was met at
the depot by a large body OF high
school students-mostly girls-and
the quiet of Abilene at that time
of night was Iivened with much lusty
cheering.
This is what we need" said Prof.
Ingham, as he stepped off the train,
plenty of enthusiasm. 1t puts gin
ger in the boys and when they know
that the students are back of them'
they feel more inclined to work. You
should have seen the improvement
in the mechanism Of the team from
last week. We have three teams
ont now and with another weeks
practice like we had this week, no
team in Central Kansas can stop
Jus. We have six new men on the
team but they are fast learning the
game"

ARE YOUR SCALES o. X?
KANSAS WANTS TO KNOW

City inspectors Of weights and
measures, unknown In Kansas O rev
years ago, are becoming recog-
nized part of the civic administration
in the larger towns of the state. The
deputy state sealer at the UniVer-
sity of Kansas has Just completed
the test Of complete sets OF weights
and measures to be used IN Pitts
burg, which by a recent ordinance
has provided for a city inspector,
Leavenworth, Wichita and Topeka
have city inspectors of weights and
measures and Kansas City, KAN
will begin the inspection about jan
uary /.
The city weight and measure In
spectors form a valuable reinforce
ment of the state pure food and
drug inspectors, who formerly had
to look after weights and measures
in addition to their regular work.
Some of the cities are providing
for their inspectors suit case kits
which hold an outfit sufficient for
grocery and drug store inspection
The state sealer at the university
must test every kit before the city
NAV use 1t. Every weight must be
accurate enough to weigh within one
pound of fifty tons. This county
once had set Of weights and meas
ures in the county clerks hands but
no one knows where they are now.

Blasts columns to boom their trade,
In which particular, however, they
were in no way unique among the
tradesmen of Geeville.
NO" said I, smiling at the protest
against this delinquency OF the cloth
ing men that seemed to lie in the
mysterious strangers manner, they
haven't come in yet"
well" said he, with no little posi-
tiveness, well bring 'em in! Just
listen to me and act, and We'll have
the tailors and the clothing store men
tumbling over each other to get here
first with their ads. I've got cinch
on 'em that is yours II you'll listen
and act I've killed 1t and it's all
right"
This startled me some and looked
up quick. The man didn't look crazy,
but 1 thought he certainly must be.
"Ah," said the man, showing salts
faction. Few do know the pigs milt
as weather prophet. There's where
this cinch of mine is. That's what's
going to make the tailors and the
clothiers come across to you if you'll
listen to me and act. Yes. Weather
propheting. That's about all there
really is to the pigs milt. l have
known 1t intimately for forty years,
and that's all the use I've ever dis
covered that it had. If you think
there is any other use the pigs milt
puts itself to, see the dictionary. Look
it up"
The man seemed so eager that I
should know, and l wanted to keep
on the right side of him so much until
help of some kind might come in,
that l turned to the dictionary and
the "milt" The principal duty Of
milt, according to the dictionary, l
found to be this:
"Milt; a viscus situated in the left
hypocondrium, under the diaphragm;
see melt"
But you needn't see melt" said
the man, nodding his head as l read
from the dictionary. "If you see melt
1t will merely advise you to see milt.'
Having seen init, you VIII VI CouIS0
serve no purpose by calling on 1t
again, and you have learned all there
is to learn in the dictionary about
milt. But long familiarity with 1t and
perennial observation of it have
taught me that pigs milt Is weather
prognosticator so infallible that, if
folks only knew it, the Kentucky
goose bone and the woodchuck bur
row and the corn husk covering and
the ruskrat nest and all the rest of
the old weather prophesying stand

years, whenever I kill my pigs in the

a thing or two. That's what I've done
this fall. When | killed my pigs the
other day / directed my attention as
usual to spot under the diaphragm
of the most prognostic-looking pig l
had, and removed the viscus from the
left hypocondrium Now, in going
for the pigs milt in it's unfailing ca
pacity of weather prophet, let me tell
you in passing, just notice il the big
end of it, the small end of it, or the
middle of it is bigger than by nor
NAL condition it ought to be. One or
t'other of 'em is bound to be so.
''If it's the big end, get things ready
for the coming in Of an early winter,
and a winter that1l make things
crack. If it's the middle part that is
exaggerated, you needn't count on
having any fun skating or sleigh
riding with your girl not before the
flag end of January.
That's the way the pigs milf casts
the meteorological horoscope. / have
looked 1t over for this year, and
want to tell you that the small end
of the milt has a nub on it bigger
than a prize rutabaga. So you can
keep right on wearing your last sum-
mer's clothes until almost time for
johnny jump-ups to push their noses
up, and then you can tide over the
weather that may drop down for
spell about then by taking the old
ulster from the peg, for it'll be too
late to buy any new winter clothes.
Too late No use at all.
Eyes, yes. Put your trust IN tho
