1t has almost prostrated me to look
upon this stranger and have people
insist that he is my SON."
"Kimmel," on looking at the wo-
man, said he was positive she was
his mother.

the same as years ago. l love her

To test his acquaintance with
Niles, "Kimmel" was escorted about
the streets. He repeatedly point
ed out landmarks and related form
er Incidents which citizens said were
correct. He called persons by their
full names, but many of them pro-
fused not to recognize him as the
real Kimmel.
Now to prove l am familiar with
the town." said Kimmel, Il will
tell you that behind that hill there
is a big red brick house, on the
south side of which is a large elm
tree from which we used swing
when boys"
Every one declared the statement
was correct.
Another conference was held be-
tween Mrs. Kimmel and the man
who claims to be her son late to-
night, but failed TO have any re-
suit. "KimmeP' called at the
house of relatives" and there was
closely questioned. Later Mrs.
Kimmel, referring to the claimant
as the man." said that although
he has given details of the life of
her son, she still was not con-
vinced that it was he. Another
conference will be held tomorrow.

INSISTS HE'S NOT HER son.
Mother of Man Long Thought Dead
Hard to Convince.

Miles, Mich, Sept. 20. - Niles
strange controversy over the iden-
tity of George Kimmel, who repre-
sents himself to be a man long
supposed to be dead was further
complicated to-day.
While dozens Of persons positively
identify him as the son for whose
supposed death thirteen years ago
Mrs. Estella Kimmel received $5,-
600 in life insurance, an equal num-
ber were equally positive that it
was not the son. Then Mrs. Kim
mel, 70 years old, who had asserted
that the man was an imposter to
deprive her of the money she had
already received and to prevent the
payment of $4,000 more in insur-
ance to other relatives, scrutinized
the man who claims her as moth
er.
Brought face to face with the
from a five year term in the Au-
burn, N. Y, penitentiary, stretched
forth his arms and said:
Mother, don't you know your
boy? Don't disown me any longer.
You know / am your SON."
Mrs. Kimmel, Withdrawing from
the man, as he attempted to en-
brace her, stood sternly scanning
his face.

you any positive resemblance to

The meeting took place at the
home of Mrs. Harry l.. Fox, who
had already accepted "Kimmel" as

NOT DIFFICULT TO IRRIGATE
Not Complex Problem and Once Lat
erals and bitches Are Established
Anybody Can Water.

Practical irrigation is not a complex
problem. When once the laterals and
head bitches are established any
bright bay can irrigate the field, gar
den or orchard. Newcomers make a
complete success the first season, only
needing to take few lessons watch
ing their neighbors on similar ground.
When once you have managed the
water business yourself for a single
season you will never again want to
risk your fortune with the clouds and
floods and droughts. The time you
waste trying to make hay between
showers will frrigate the alfalfa, to
say nothing about the hay cured with
out rain and dew being worth twice
as much. The time wasted with rainy
days in spring and with waiting for
the frost ITO go out" and the land
to dry off, will be much more than the
time it takes to irrigate. Irrigation
means three times the quantity of bet
ter hay Rain belt often means ru-
ined hay crops. Irrigation means per-
feet fertilization of the fruit blossoms
and fruit of large size and perfect
color and quality Rain belt often
means ruin of the blossoms, no fruit,
or small apples on account of dry
spells; poor in color and quality-un-
certainty.

IRRIGATE IN WEST KANSAS
1t Was 1895 Before State Aid Assured
Success for Undertaklng-Wa-
ter Supply Unlimited.

So far as rainfall Is concerned Kan
sas is divided from east to west into
three parts. Only the western third
has much use for irrigation. The
first Roadway made toward placing
that part under irrigation was in 1890.
convention was held at Great Bend
that year and state organization eff
fected whose purpose was to study the
needs and aid in the development of
the country. But this hopeful effort
did not get much beyond it's beginning.
1t was not until 1895 that a definite
start was made. Then the legis-
lature created a board of irriga-
ton and appropriated 100000 for its
work. In 1896 this board did it's first
work, and this date can well mark the
start of Kansas irrigation.
Throughout the humid and semi-arid
districts there is an unlimited sup
ply Of water close to the surface of
the earth; moreover, there is little
access to large streams, so irrigation
has been largely confined to pumping
plants, usually of the windmill type.
The following cities, especially, are
centers for this type: Garden City,
Ingles, Cimarron, Dodge City, Kinsley,
Great Bend and Hutchinson.
In general the most important points
to note in connection with irrigation
in the western third of the state are:
The cost of windmill plant will be
from $50 to $3.50, according to the size
of the pump use; the cost of the reser-
voir will be about $50 more. Shallow
wells pay better, as the flow usually
is much greater. In digging thep well
it does not pay to go below the shale,
for then water cannot be found until
depth of at least $50 feet is reached.

SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

about three years ago I was af-
fected by white scales on my knees
and elbows. l consulted doctor who
treated me for ringworm. 1 saw no
change and consulted specialist and
he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin-
ued treatments under him for about
six months until I saw scales break
ing out all over my body save my
face. My scalp was affected, and my
hair began to fall. then changed
doctors to no avail I went to two
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure 1t or assure me of a cure. l
tried several patent medicines and
was finally advised by friend who
has used Cuticura on her children
since their birth, to purchase the
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased
cake of Soap, the Ointment and the
Resolvent. After the first application
the itching was allayed.
IT am still using the Soap and Oint-
ment and now feel that none other is
good enough for my skin. The psor-
iasis has disappeared and I every
where feel better. My hands were so
dis1gured before using the Cuticura
Remedies that had to wear gloves all
the time. Now my body and hands

BETTER TEETH
FEWER DENTISTS BILLS

Your teeth decay because particles
OF food get into crevices between and
around the teeth and create germs
OF decay. Ordinary tooth powders
and washes are entirely inadequate
to prevent it.
Try Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic, a de-
hc1ous, harmless germicide. Just
little in glass of water, and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.
1t will whiten the teeth, prevent
and remove tartar, destroy all germs
of decay and save you dentists bills.
Paxtine thoroughly cleanses. de-
odorizes and keeps pure and odorless
false teeth and bridgework. Paxtine
is far superior to liquid antiseptics
and peroxide for all toilet and hy
gienic uses. At Druggists rs and soc.

POULTRY NOTES.

Geese are easily raised after the
first few days of careful watching
Generally a hen should not be kept
ON an egg farm after she is two years
OLD.
Incubator chicks are never infest-
ed with vermin when they are
Matched.
Don't let chicks squeeze through
Slated coops until their bodies are
deformed.
The incubator giving the least trou-
BILE is the one kept in the best work
ing condition.
The fermentation of a mass of drop
pings in the house is cause of many
throat diseases.
You need not be afraid the hens will
eat too much crushed shells. Let them
have all they want.
To try and get along without an
incubator and brooder or brood
ers costs more than to have the ma
chimes.
Chopped onions are very good for
all kinds of poultry. Onions are not
only 1nV1gorat1ng, but are excellent
when the fowls are subject to
colds.
A flock of pure-bred fowls look nice
and are nice. They make the owner
want to fix up other things about the
farm SO they will correspond with the
chickens.
Colds induce bronchial affections in
fowls as they do in people, The re-
spiratory organs of poultry are sub
iected to the same troubles as those of
the human family.
If some of the brooder chickens are
not quite thrifty as the others they
should be put by themselves, if
possible, where the stronger ones will
not run over thine and rob them Of
their feed.

Why Bees Swarm.

Bees swarm because the circum-
stances do not suit them, they are i'll
at ease and lack room. If we do not
wish them to swarm, we must give
them sufficient room. A loose bottom
board enables the beekeeper to raise
the hives up whenever needed, and to
give as much space for ventilation as
NAV be necessary. Drone rearing is
factor in swarming. In nearly
every instance the colonies that
swarm are those that have received
quite large number of drones. A
certain percentage of colonies will
swarm in spite of anything that may
be done. You must bear in mind
that it takes but little to induce
swarming during good honey har-
vest.

How He Averted a Duel

The following is told of former Sen
ator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky:
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to Sec
ond him in duel. He consented, and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place. Now, it was this Ken
tuckian's duty to say the last words
touching the terms of the duel. But,
duty, the duel never took place.
A murmur Of why not?" invariably
goes around whenever this story is
told, whereupon the answer is as fol-
lows:
For very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for a uel."-Harpef's Magazine

Learn to Make Repairs.

A boy know who hopes some day
to be farmer will sit Is minutes on
rake or mower. and call for some
one to tighten nut or adjust another
bit of mechanism, says writer in an
exchange. If he succeeds, he will
have to learn to do these things him
self, for every farmer must be a ma
chinist. The man who can put a
reaper together after he has seen it
done will do well, but the man who
can do it without having seen 1t done
will do better. Time on the farm, as
anywhere else, is money, and when a
tongue breaks it is money in the
pocket to be able to repair without
driving to the blacksmith.

that freshly pressed apple juice, not

from six weeks to three months at 80

ferment, after which fermentation is

that the repairs on the building have
