LIVE WIRE LIKE PIED PIPER
Causes Crowds to Dance on Wet Side
walks and Block Traffic.

Patrolman George Elliott, of the Cen
trail station, detailed at the crossing of
West Jackson boulevard and South
Clark street, was theoretically blowing
his whistle yesterday when he noticed
a startling performance being given
by several pedestrians in front Of 224
South Clark street.
Men were crawling on all fours on
the wet sidewalks, others were cutting
unseemly capers, and women were
screaming Historically as they dropped
their precious parcels in the muddy
street Cars stopped, crews and pas
sengers got off, crowds gathered to
watch these antics, and for a while
1t looked as If traffic would be com
pletely blocked.
Elliott broke through the crowd into
a circle in which two or three men ex-
ecuted weird and astonishing steps.
His sense of propriety shocked, Elliott
grabbed man scurrying through the
crowd on hands and knees
Hey, you fellows will have to cut out
this dancing You're blocking the side
walk and the street" shouted Elliott.
Just as he caught the man Elliott
received a shock. He seemed to feel a
thousand tacks, pins, and needles stick
ing into him ard down he stumbled
Then he discovered that an arc light
had short circuited and that the wet
sidewalk near the pole was very good

Peter RObidoux Enters His De-

HOW AN OATH WAS TAKEN

The Peter Robidoux store at Wal
lace. Kansas, which for twenty years
has been closed, with a complete stock
of goods. once worth $4,000, left to
rot and rust on the shelves. was open
ed for the first time during the severely
. cold weather during January by the
eccentric old owner, who in opening
the store broke a VOW which he had
made to never again enter the place.
Robidoux entered the store to get
some musty old bales of hay to feed
20 the stock which was dying from
hunger. owing to the severely cold
weather.
Like Glimpse Into Old Vault
A peep into the old store was like a
glimpse of a burial vault, long sealed,
TO the people of Wallace. The stock
That had rotted on the shelves includ-
ed all of the endless variety of arti-
cles carried by the general merchant
OF the early days in western Kansas
canned goods, clothing, staple gro
cutlery. stock feed, hardware. patent
medicines, vehicles and farm imple-
-ments. 1t is doubtful if the $40, 900
stock is worth a hundred dollars to-
day What the rats, the worms and
the moths could not devour. rust and
mold have destroyed.
The clothing is reduced to piles of
lint The seams in the saddles, har-
and knives and other metal articles
wear coats Of dingy red and are ready
to crumble at a touch. The labels sag
from the dusty cans and bottles on the
shelves The dried beans and peas
and prunes and apples are hollow
husks, hidden by luxuriant mold.
And Then the Crash Came.
Robidoux was a pioneer liquor dealer
when Wallace sprung into being with the
building OF a. railroad near Fort Wallace,
twenty years ago. The town was of
mushroom growth and at one time had
3 population OF more than five thousand.
The saloonkeeper, formerly a section
land on the railroad. prospered with the
prosperity Of the new town. Money was

a dealer in everything requisite to life in
the western country. He demanded
enormous prices for his goods and the
noney came so fast and freely that a
beer key, used by the thrifty French
Canadian for safe. was filled with dol
lars each day
In the early '90s the boom burst and
the town dWindled until only a handful
of inhabitants was left Business fell off

store all day with nothing to do but fune
at fate. Finally his bitterness resolved
itself into a determination to shut up the
place and move his family to a ranch he
owned near Wallace. AS he barred the
windows and locked the door his i'll
-humor toward fortune prompted him to
utter the VOW that the store never again
should be opened
The abandonment of a valuable stock
did not mean ruin for Robidoux. He
owned much land, and in the years that
nav passed since he was merchant, he
has acquired more. In the last few weeks

VI. WOOD. president Of the Wooleu

We are Of the opinion hat YOU
have had ample time 20 consider the

children who have made the Ameri-

In view Of the fact that machinery
has been improved the workers turn
off more and more worn. but they
are not paid accordingly. even though
the price OF food. clothing and shell
ter has IN MANY cases increased 80
and even 100 per cent within the last
few years
We, the committee. are willing %

any time and submit the grievances
OF the strikers So II YOU believe in
a square deal you will not refuse -
meet with US. but will come forward
at once and try to bring the trouble
10 a final conclusion. You must bear
in mind the fact that these workers
have not gone on a strike for light
or transient reasons. but because they
could no longer bear up under the
burdens laid upon their shoulders.
The American Wooden con pany has
within the last few years built sever
al mills. even IN the worst Of times

The workers are OF the opinion
that the only competition left is the

POULTRYMEN

IHC ICCcnt pOultTy SHOW Hclu Ill Al1dIllO uC-
monStrated beyond doubt that the Panhandle is
destined to be great poultry raising section
More people are starting in the poultry business
each year The interest manifested in the recent
poultry show indicates that there will be a great
number of people enter the poultry business this
spring.
In order to enter the poultry business it is nee
essary, as you we'll know, to either purchase a
flock of fowls or an incubator and eggs for hatch
ing The poultrymen of the Panhandle have as
fine lot of chickens as can be raised anywhere
and should take advantage of the opportunity now
offered them to make money. You are in the
poultry business to make money the same as the
merchant banker or any other business man.
Do not let the poultrymen of Missouri Kansas,
Iowa or other sections of the country supply the
fowls and eggs with which these new entrants in
the poultry business get their start. The wide
awake poultrymen of other sections of the country
have found by experience that it pays to adver-
tise. A we'll advertised poultryman raising
pure strain OF chickens does not have to take his
eggs and chickens to grocery store and trade"
them for groceries, but sells them at good price
and usually has orders ahead.
Now is the time for you to start your adver-
Using campaign for the coming season. Keep your
name and the strain of your chickens before the
public and you will have no trouble in disposine
of your fowls and eggs at good profit.
In starting an advertising campaign, there is one
important thing to consider
