heard the Shooting felt that they were
shooting to hit-end were being shot at

and not a pleasant thrill either. How
ever the noise Ct the battle was not too
audible at this distance if there was
any c~annonading it could not be heard
here.

killed in the recent battle at Colombia
were all killed by one man-Captain
LongOria. who was himself kilIed.-shot

Tale of a Barber
in Dire Distress
All the Trouble Checked Up
to a Defunct Water
Faucet.

A pretty country lass, defunct
hot water faucet, bashful barber
and scared darkey furnished the
chief characters of farce which was
played in certain barber shop not
so far from Chanute last Saturday
afternoon.
The young woman dropped into the
barber shop about four o'clock in the
afternoon aud modestly irquired If
the shop gave baths. When politely
informed that such wa the case, she
secured a couple of Turkish towels,
an epidermis brush and retired.
Pretty soon the gurgle Of water and
the steam thereof perGeated the
shop, but the odity of the situation
soon wore off and the barber SHOP for
a few moments resumed itA routine
of scrape, swire and c0nverSat o..
Then something got wrong in the
bath room. The steam had ceased
but the gurgles were l'u1er. Then
more steam and less gurgie, then:
"Please, Mr.. Barber, cAu'G turn
the hot water off," Two Of the SIX
men in chairs were gashed for shifting
upright without notice and tn .rd
received a slit in the nose.
please. uh-- Barb er, I've twisted
and--" and there the little girl
stopped with sob of genuine dis
tress. "Call out the Fire Depart
ment," suggested one. ooh, please
don't. 1 haven't even kimona,"
sobbed the occupant of the bathroom.
The water by this time was over
flowing ia the shop. Turn your
back, George Washington, "yeIled
the proprietor, turning toward the
colored boy who blacks the boots.
"Ah resigns All does" gasped the
porter. "Back IN, Back in" ordered
the proprietor sternly. "You needn't
trouble thank you, I've got it turned
off. Hope 1 did not cause any trouble
for anyone" came from the bathroom.

man chorus from the BARRIERS, the
shine and the two with the gashes

Natures Balance of Power.

In view Of facts, one is almost will
ing to accept the statement of we'll
known French scientist, who has as
serted that without birds to check the
ravages of insects, human life would
vanish from this planet in the space
of nine years. But for the vegetation
the insects would perish; but for the
insects the birds would perish, and
but for the birds vegetation would be
destroyed Nature has, therefore,
formed a delicate balance of power
which cannot be disturbed without
bringing great loss and unhappiness
to the world.

Emil Switzer's Con-
dition Improved
If Present Progress Continues
Young Man Will be Up and
Around in a Month

Emil Switzer the young man OF
twenty six who was so severely
wounded last Thursday evening by
being dragged under disc pillow is
now pronounced practically out OF
danger by the attending physician,
If no complications arise.
The young man continues ex-
tremely weak from the shock and
from the loss of blood but the cuts
and oil err hurts show signs of heal
ing. Fever has not added to the
complexities of his hurts, and if all
goes as we'll as 1t appears at present
Mr.. Switzer will be a convalescent
in a month.
Mr.. Switzer, who works for R.
Fritsie on farm about twelve miles
southwest of here, was blowing
when his disc pillow caught on a
stone, frightened his team and he
was dragged over between the pillow
and the horses. The pillow passed
over him, dragging his body for
some little distance and the disc
cutters inflicted terrible cuts about
his body and head.

Nails Protect PlIInn.

Some of the piles in use in Amster-
dam are 900 to 400 years old. That
part which is not in the ground is
surface. but is preserved by driving in
nails with very large heads, so as to
give the pile an iron coating. This
coating is then transformed by the
water into layer Of rust, which pro.
tects the wood from the pile worm.
This process must be repeated every
fifteen years.

Too Often This Is the View Taken.

Il think the school teachers in this
town ought to get more money than
they do" What put that kind Of an
idea into your head?" why should we
expect the people who are educating
our children to work for $40 or $50
a month, when we pay our chauffeurs
at least 500 and furnish them with
board and lodging besides?" But
what does school teachin' amount to,
anyhow? Look at most of the teach
ers. They amt got nothin' but edu-
cation. Chicago Tribune.

About Umbrellas,

Eyeglass wearers have long since
complained that people are careless
with umbrellas. Many pairs Of glass
es have been knocked off and broken
by persons who selfishly refuse to
move an umbrella so as to allow 9th
er people to easily pass. A few even
persist in dangerously spinning an
umbrella along crowded street, en-
dangering the glasses and sometimes
eyes of passing walkers.

onIx success worth wlnnlnn.

There is nothing base in failure, but
base failure; there is nothing good in
success but that which is well won.
The applause of triumph is a mock
cry to him who has not deserved his
success; if anything of conscience re-
mains to him such applause must be
a positive torture. We always know
in our hearts whether we have mer-
tied that which comes to us, and it is
always sweetened a hundredfold when
we know that we really have done
something fair and true for It.
