 ladies did about their one silk gown it was necessary and genteel.
 But mohair drifted out of fashion, and for five years we have seen little of it. 1t has been nearly two decades

Speaking to friend in Paola few
days ago about dry weather, Major
Ben Simpson said: ''This isn't dry
year Kansas never had but one real
dry year and that was from Novem-
Der 9, 1859, to February y, 1861-four-
teen months without any rain. Some
corn and a few watermelons were
raised, however, Orrin Williams had
lots of watermelons growing on the
banks of the Marais Des Cygnes river.
In October, 1860, well recollect a
feast at the home of Judge lotion in
Paola. He had returned from War
rensburg, Mo-, with load of Irish
potatoes, and Mrs. lotion invited
w. r. Wagstaff and me to dine with
them. The menu was potatoes-just
potatoes; boiled with the jackets on.
Both young lawyers with no practice,
and the country out of food, you may
well say that such meal of potatoes
was never eaten before nor since. -

The Chigeer

OF all the omniyerous, carniverous,
herbiverous, insectiverous, creations
that people the earth, the chigger is
without doubt the most "niverous. y
Wherever there is a cool, inviting
plot of grass or tangled shaded nook,
there he is also, ever ready to greet
you and show you his friendship at
the slightest opportunity. For a
slayer he has no parallel. He refuses
to be swatted and enters into your
personality in most engaging man
ner. He sticketh closer than lodge
solicitor and compels attention from
all he meets. He is no respector of
persons and like the wind, goeth
where he listeth and he isteth
where he goeth. He plants himself
with a wanton abandonment that is
most distracting. He is a hustler.
He digs for living and his example
makes others scratch. Chiggers have
the community spirit, they like COM
pany both of their own kind and the
human kind. No .one is immune
from them. Some people claim they
are, but others are more truthful. If
the chigger had slogan, it would
doubtless be, ''Kum to Kansas" The
chigger delights to get down to bare
facts and in some instances goes even
further-in fact, too far. He is a
great leyeler of classes, we don't all
have to scratch for living, but we
all have to scratch for the chigger.
He is the only menace to our health
that Doc Crumbine hasn't succeeded
in having legislated from the state

Ernest Campbell, young farmer
in Reno county, is somewhat finicky,
it seems. He took his best girl to an
ice cream social the other night. A
rival didn't like it very well, and in
order to get even with Campbell
poured a bottle of mustard oil on
that part of the buggy seat which
Campbell used. Now, oil of mustard
is an insidious, permeating sort of
stuff that blisters things. Young
Campbell sat down in it, as he start
ed home. He didn't sit long. He
Thought he was on the top of red
hot stove. But standing didn't do
any good. He was just as warm in
that position as he was sitting down.
Finally he got so blamed warm that
he drove into Hutchinson and asked
the fire department to put the fire
out in the seat of his trousers. He
was given relief soon. The next day
he had his rival arrested for disturb
ing his peace. The case is still pend
ing.
