Rockets Brighten Duck.

Brawley.-S. Lyons rancher in this
section has invented unique remedy
for the invasion of his fields and de-
struction of his crops by wild duck.
Trap guns, hunters and scarecrows
had been tried without success, al
though hunreds of the birds were
slain. AS a last resort the exasperat-
ed rancher purchased fireworks and,
going into the fields after dark, be-
gan battle on the flocks of ducks with
Roman candles and skyrockets.
The scheme worked like magic and
the Lyons ranch is no longer a gath
ering place for the Wild fowl.

Scientilla of truth in the talk of the
cafes and saloons.
According to these rumors that will

widow of the eccentric Briton. is pre-
pairing to give the deposed monarch
carte h,anche with her SIS. 900. 600 or
more that he may overthrow the re-
public.
The wherefore is said to be Mrs.
Smiths ambition to have her daugh-
ter, formery Anita Stewart of New
York, admitted to the sacred inner
circle of royalty. In marrying
Prince Manuel of Braganza, Miss
Stewart was considered to have made
the most brilliant match of all the
American Dianas in the title hunt
But after the marriage it proved
that Anita Stewart was only "brev-
et" princess. Exclusive circles in
Europe stood aloof because she was
only the wife of the son of the pre-
tender to crown. Besides, Emperor
Franz Josef of Austria was reported
to have frowns for the international
union.
Then Manuel was shaken from his
throne-many said by the swayings
of Gaby Deslys, French dancer-and
the republic of Portugal sprang into
existence.
Right there Mrs. "Silent" Smith is
said to have seen her opportunity to
place her daughter on a pinnacle.
As long ago as the day Manuel was
escorted outside the borders of his
kingdom the astute Yankee mother
is said to have laid her plans.
These began with hints to Manuers
party that financial support might be
forthcoming if the social status of
a certain American girl and her moth
er would be assured.
But the monarchist party, hot with
defeat, confident of success after the
first clamor quieted, refused to nego-
tiate.
Then Mrs. silent Smith, it is said,

Hobby Tells the Story.
Why did Mr.. Kouns prick up his
ears when you mentioned golf? Be
cause he is a golf enthusiast. Because
it is his hobby. Because he spends all
pounding away at the sod and sending
| the little balls spinning over the land
scape. A little tip-start the general
manager on "goff'' and at an un-
shooter and you might be able to pro-
| cure that treasured story. Mr.. Kouns
| has weak spot for golf-bu he is by
| no means a weak player. In fact there
| is quartet of Santa Fe heads in To-
| peka who delight in humbling all who
| contest them at the Country club
| they are sometimes called the big
| Four In the links language, how
| ever, they are known as the santa Fe
| Trailers.'' Here they are: c. w
! Kouns, general manager; E. L. Cope
land, secretary treasurer; J. r
Koontz, general freight agent; ]. NJ
Connell, general passenger agent.
| Golf is their hobby-and they go al
it like they do everything else they
tackle-go at it to win.
| Following in the footsteps of theil
! superiors come j. c. Burnett, assistant
general freight agent, and E. J. Shake

agent. These men swing the brassies
H. B. Mcfarland, engineer of tests, is
another fore fend, and E. T. Cart

| with motoring Mr.. Cartilage is for
tunate in this respect-he has the nat
ural eye for golf and he has two sons
who own motor cars.
Some people play golf because they
like it. Others enter the game be-
cause it is Society'S real outdoor

the latter class appear r. J. Parker,
general superintendent, and John
Purcell, assistant to the vice presi-
dent. Mr.. Parker makes no claims to
the pleasure of the game. He doesn't

Same with Jawn. But both men feel
that nature has been too fresh-alto-
gether too fresh-in her endowments
and they propose to adopt the exer-
else remedy. The landscape gardener at
the Country club has served notice on
them to spare the sod-but they are
going to keep right on whacking at the
innocent balls and bury them deep in
the soil with their mighty blows.
Other Fads Are Found.

know as much about news as the av-

running a railroad-despite the fact
that several newspaper men have built
managed and maintained railroads
through their productive columns
Therefore, something must be done to
spade out the news. But the spade
/ must not be a dull one-it should be

deep, cut in under the roots and bring
out the story roots, dirt and all.
