Man and Z Wife.

The primary impulse of all creatures
is possession. 1t is this that causes d
chicken to tear around the yard with
a piece Of meat in its mouth and all
the other chickens after it. OF course
it cannot possibly eat the meat 1t
hasn't time, but the instinct Of pos
session makes it grab and keep it. The
same is noticeable among beasts. They
like to get a great piece of meat in
their mouths and then grOwl It is
this instinct in man which provokes
him TO matrimOny He wants some
thing to guard and growl over SO
he seeks a hollow tree, a cave or a
house and a wife.-Puck

Fastening Battery Wires,
Nll-tf.

There are two ways of doing almost
everything. and this is especially true
of fastening battery and coil terminal
wires. One way is wrong, and the
other is 20 twist the bare end Of the
wire around the terminal as the hands
Of the clock move and then tighten NJ
the nut. The reason for this is be
cause the screw thread is right hand
ed; therefore the tendency Of the tight
ening nut viii be TO twist the wire
around the terminal tighter than it
was. Should the wire be twisted the
other way the nut would tend to IN
twist it and it would slip under the
nut and very likely get a very poor
hold-Rostnr Herald.

MRS. {. w. SELLERS.

The sad news of Mrs. Sellers
death, Tuesday night, at her home in
Campti, La, has been received by
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. O. NJ. Col
Inns.
A few weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Col
Inns were called to Campti on &C.
count Of her serious illness and they
remained a couple of weeks, leaving
her much improved, so that the news
of her death come as a shock to her
relatives. She had not been strong
for several years, having had heart
attacks ever since the death Of her
little son, seven years ago, by drown
ing. She had several severe attacks,
from which it was not thought she
could recover, but each time she
would rally and appear to be
stronger.
Mrs. Sellers was 3S years of age,
was born in Illinois and was united in
marriage 10 E. W. Sellers, who is at
present superintendent of the state
high school at Campti, La. A few
years ago they resided here while
Mr.. Sellers was superintendent of the
schools. Only one child was born to
them, son, who, as stated above,
died seven years ago. Mrs. Sellers
was woman of refinement and high
attachments, who had many friends
in Great Bend who mourn her death
and sympathize with the bereayed
husband and parents.
She leaves a devoted husband, her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Collins
a sister, Mrs. Thos. Winstead Of this
city, and a brother Ivan Collins, Of

he was, captive Of the men he had

five natives to overcome him, how
many had it taken to beat Ryanne

Feslers are living a short distance
from Turon, are doing we'll, are hap
py and contented, and asked to be re
membTed TO all friends.
Jas. Lyons, formerly of Raymond,
when he very often visited Ellinwood
was another man We met. He is en-
gagged in the grain business at Lang
don, near Turon.
And then We met man whom We
thought had passed over the river
years ago, but who is still spry and
happy at the age of "a, and does not
look day oder than when we first
met him % years ago or more. 1t
was George Fe,herby, Of Arlington.
Years ago the Fetherbys lived about
two miles northeast of Ellinwood.
from where they removed to Sterling
engaging in the furniture business,
and later to Arlington, where Mr..
Fetherby's daughter Kate, and her
husband, whose name We did not
learn, are in business. One of the
boys is also in Arlington, the other
in Kansas City. My, what a talk we
did have about old times. 1t makes
one feel good to meet old friends
that way.
We have always thought that Bar
ton county was the garden spot OF
the wonh, and still think 81, but our
judgment is that the Territory through
which we passed from Hutchinson to
Turon is a close second. Good i'm
provements are seen on ev :ry hand,
and prosperity seems to be general.
While hanging around a hotel in
Hutchinson on this same trip, we
met our old friend, Chester O'Neal,
who twenty years ago was a farm
hand around the Heller locality, but
Is now one of the wealthy men OF
Reno county, although at present re-
siding in Kansas City. Chester went
to Hutchinson about twenty years
ago. He met an estimable young
lady there whom he married and he
became one Of the leading men of tn,
town, serving several terms on the
council. Prosperity struck him, he
now owns over eight hundred acres
Of land within six miles of Hutchin-
son, has a good commission business
in Kansas City, much other property
and is in good health, weighing over
two hundred and fifty pounds. He
has a daughter seventeen years old
who will, in two years, graduate fror
the Manual High School in Kansas
City, after which she is to be sent
abroad to study music. Chester then
expects to return to Hutchinson tC
settle down for good.
We also frequently met other Bar
ton countyites in Hutchinson, for in
