Cadets Must Sacrifice Comfort For the
Sake of Looks.
ut is true" said Il retired army Off
Ger in discussion Of West Pointers
with the Washington Herald THAT
many West Pointers acquire a figure
of perfection of symmetry aUl u car
riage the acme Of manly grace. but
these are due not to any Ingenious APP
pliances, but to the systematic drills
and exercises that make the cadet to
certain extent, an athlete. AZ the
outset these young fellows are put
through what are called the setting
up exercises, their object being to
straighten the body and develop the
chest. One might suppose that It would
require a great amount of such exer-
else to make any marked showing, but
three long hours Of such exercise daily
will soon produce beneficial results in
the most stopped forms.
"The cadet uniform is also a great
help In this direction. The dress coat
is tight, very tight. The shoulders are
heavily padded In order to give them
square effect. The chest is made
thick, so that there will be no danger
Of wrinkling. And in size new dress
coat seems always to be designed for
a boy several times smaller than the
one who is to wear it. A new dress
coat, in fact Is always Il source Of
suffering to its owner. When he first
puts 1t on it buttons readily about the
neck. but seems to lack about six
inches at the waist. The owner may
squlrm and wriggle and attempt to re-
duce his waist to a minimum circum-
ference. but his maiden efforts are
never sufficient to button the new dress
coat. Experience is great teacher
though. and the young fellow laugh
ingly requests one or two Of his friends
to lend their assistance. and he finally
succeeds in buttoning the coat. All
this for the sake of looks. Comfort has
no place in the makeup Of a West
Pointer; It's discipline and looks"

The little plant the mandrake has a

Quite an insignificant little plant with
a spindle shaped root often divided
into two or three forks and rudely re-

A SNAKE STORY.
The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but

The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but
That Didn't Harm Them.
A naturalist once told how In a
thicket on a mountain side he saw
man kill rattlesnake He beat the
life out Of It with club and contin-
ued the pounding till it was mangled
beyond recognition. When the nat
uralist demonstrated the man said
BOSS, you can't kill rattlesnake too
dead"
On one occasion a boat bound for
the United States from Rio de Janeiro
touched at Pernambuco, where the
mate drove a bargain with snake
dealer for a half dozen reptiles Of vari-
Gus sizes.
The mate had them in cage on
deck and charged sailor with the
duty of washing dt out with sea wa
ter every evening. All went well as
long as the weather was mild, but on
the night before the gulf stream was
crossed the sailor left a quantity Of
water in the cage, and about thirty
hours from port a biting gale struck
the ship.
All hands were busy with the storm,
and the snakes were forgotten. When
the mate thought of them and went to
look after their condition he found
them frozen stiff and apparently as
dead as the proverbial doornail.
The dealer for whom the mate had
brought them came on board the fol-
lowing day. He professed great dis
appointment over the loss Of his in
tended purchase. but offered to take
the snakes away as kindness to the
mate. He gathered them in his arms
like so much frewood and carried
them home. But rival dealer after
ward told the officer that plenty of
warm water had resuscitated the
snakes and that they had been sold
to various museums not bit the worse
for their death" by freezing.-Har-

MILITARY ACCURACY.
Rxaotnsss In Keeping Tab on the
Movements of Soldiers.

Movements of Soldiers.
We hear much Of the perfection of
military organization abroad. but 1t is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
fee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements Of Its Of
ticers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with a scouting party in Ari-
zona. After two weeks In the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes a
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either Of them.
Then with his squad he set or again
across the desert.
It was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed 1t, but the
ot1cers reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. II had been
telegraphed to every station within
200 miles.
A more striking instance Of accuracy
occurred after the same ofacer's trans
Ter to the east He was travelling
home on leave and, as tho regulations
require. he had notified the department
of the day, hour and probable route
Of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at small
station the porter entered with q tele-
gram, asking II any one Of mis- name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that It ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts Of an In
significant second lieutenant even
when he was travelling on leave of all
sence.--New York Herald,

OUR STATE CAPITOL LETTER
A Brief Resume Of What Our
alfred Men" Are Doing, How
They Spend Their limo, Etc.
Kansas Teachers Plentiful.

For the first time in number cf
years Kansas does not face teacher
shortage. With the opening of schools
but few days away, the supply or
teachers is ample for the entire state,
according to L. T. Fairchild, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction. He
ascribes as good reason the normal
training work by which high school
graduates receive second class GER
tifictes good for two years.
"Then there is another reason said
Mr.. Fairchild. "In some parts of the
state where the crops were particu'
larly hard hit, we find that persons
who were teachers several years ago,
but left the work and engaged in 9TH
err occupations, are returning to teach
ing. We have had but few requests
for teachers to fill vacancies and these
can be supplied. | have seen the tinio
when as many as fifty teachers were
wanted in one county alone"

Finds No Law to Fit Case.

Attorney General Dawson has ad-
vised the state auditor in a written
opinion that the provision for the "'e-
funding OF Indebtedness existing or
hereafter created by cities OF the
second class, being an enactment OF
the session of 1872, as amended By
the session Of 1873, was repealed by
implication by the provisions OF the
act of 1879, which is the general boud
refunding act.
Under this opinion there is no pro-
vision for the refunding Of floatfns
indebtedness by cities Of the seconf
class unless such Indebtedness was
outstanding at the time of the pass
age of chapter 1877, laws of 1907,
which took effect March 20 of that
year.
The legislature Of 1911 passed two
acts providing for the refunding OF
warrants and other outstanding float
ing Indebtedness but both acts were
limited as to time in which the bonds
authorized Hereunder were to be is
sued and those limits have expired.

NAV Not Drop the Bribery Case.

Even though the cases against H. c.
Ericsson and +. B. Armstrong have
been dismissed, it is not likely that
the trouble over the charges OF solic-
iting brides brought against these two
men is settled. 1t is said that the At
torney General is considering bring
ing contempt proceedings against the
persons in Cherokee county who swore
to the warrants for their arrest.
Ericsson was pamed as receiver for
wholesale brewing company in Chero-
kee county by the supreme court ana
it can be shown, it is said, that the
action of the Cherokee county people
in swearing out a warrant for his ar
rest has interfered with his work in
this capacity. 1t is said that Ericsson
and Armstrong will be charged with
contempt of court and that Dawson
will attempt to have them cited.

Because the old soldiers and others
wanted Ex-Governor John w. Leedy to
come to Kansas and take part in the
G. A. r. reunion next month, Dave
Leahy, Governor Stubs private secre-
tary. worked for two or three weeks
trying to locate the Ex-Governor. And
finally he found him. Former Governor
Leedy is at Whitecoure, Alberta, Can
ada. It was at first thought he was
in Alaska, but he was not found there
and attention was directed to friends
and relatives.

Annie approached him softly and

he said:

Express "Frank" Used by Whole Town

1t appears that the express franz"
is still doing business in Kansas. The
Public Utilities Commission and other
state officers thought it had gone out
of BUSINESS, but not so, according to
information obtained by the commits
sion.
In letter received by the commits
sion from an agent representing well
known express company operating in
Kansas, the agent states that there IS
a ranchman living near the town
where he works. holding a frank"
He states, too, that the frank" is
used for all kinds of purposes. The
old franks stated that they were to
be used only in paying on personal
shipments. The agent states that this
ranchman has been using the franks"
to pay the express on groceries and
all kinds of shipments to him from
wholesalers in this and other states.
The agent wants to know whether
or not he is violating the Interstate
commerce law. e. H. Hogueland,
secretary Of the commission, says the
use of the frank is in violation OF
both the state and federal laws.

This and other reports Of similar

Meantime he himself had not been
idle When once he made up his
mind to do a thing he was not con-
tent with half measures. Night and
day he worked on the case, preparing
evidence. seeing witnesses and ex-
perts. until he had gradually built
up a bulwark of defense which the
police would find difficult to tear
down. Yet he was not wholly reas-
sured as to the outcome until Annie,

office, informed him breathlessly that

HELP FIGHT CATTLE DISEASE.
U. S. Department to Work in connec'
ton With Commissioner Mercer.


The state and federal governments
are now ready to cooperate in stamp.
ing tuberculosis from the dairy herds
in Kansas. Dr.. J. C. Burneson, Unit
ed States veterinary inspector, was
in Topeka recently, and was in COLI
ference with j. H. Mercer, state live
stock sanitary commissioner. They
worked out the plan that will be fol-
lowed in testing out the herds Of the
state.
The plan is not to quarantine dairy
herds. That will not be done except in
exceptional cases. Instead, the two Of
ficers want to cooperate with dairy
men and with cites. They want the
whole thing to be voluntary. Wher-
ever city wants to be sure that the
cows that furnish it with milk are
free from tuberculosis it can make
the arrangements with these officials.
The cows will be tested and those that
show a reaction will be disposed of.
1t is not intended that the dairy
man who loses cows in this way shall
stand complete loss. Very frequent
ly cows afflicted with tuberculosis
may be used for food with perfect
safety. MIR. Mercer said that some
times the infected part of the animal
would not be larger than pea, yet
the animal would show reaction
from the test. In such cases as this
after the inspection has been made
by the government inspector, the I'M
affected parts of the animal may be-
sold for food.
The expense will be borne by the
cities and the state and the federal
government where cities are involved.
In cases where individual dairymen
ask for the test the expense will be
shared with him. Although there will
be no general quarantine no infected
herds of any size will be passed up by
the inspectors after they learn of the
infection. 1t is not believed that
great per cent of the dairy cattle
of the state will be found infected.
Five thousand have already been test
ed in Kansas and only per cent were
found to have tuberculosis.
