By W. Y. Morgan in Hutchinson News.


that the others had real war while
Roumania merely got ready for one.
In Bulgaria every men between the
ages of II and as was In the serv-
ice. So it was in Servia. OF course
the railroads quit running, except
for military purposes, stores closed,
factories shut down and work was
paralyzed. The women took care OF
the farms but in many places in the
Balkans there were no crops this
year for lack of labor. You can get
the idea Of the condition II you
think what would be the result In
Kansas IL every man between the
ages Of II and As was taken off his
work and sent to the army. 1t Is
not only the actual expense of mill
tary supplies and operations, but 1t
is the loss in production occasioned
by the withdrawal of effective men
from their work.
The people have been accepting
the situation as inevitable but there
Is a sentiment developing in favor
of some sort Of a change. A burden
of taxes, which takes mans money
part of the best years Of his life,
and perhaps life itself, is hard to
endure.
But the Roumanians just now do
not seem to mind. They are cele-
brating their short campaign, talk
Ing of the time when they will have
to go out again, staying UP late
nights and trying to deserve the
reputation of having in their capt.

BROKE UP A PARTY
BULL PUP LACERATED BOYS
LEFT ARM SEVERELY.
While Attending a ChariVari Dog
Attacked Grant Fisher, Rend-
ing Arm Ligaments-
Is Not Serious.

A charivari party was a painful
one for Grant Fisher, the 11-year'
old son. of w. H. Fisher. last night
Grant, with a party of young peo-
pie went to the D. s. Wagaman
home on East Seventh street about
1880 O'Clock to celebrate In honor
of Mr.. and+Mrs. S. L. Wagaman, who
were married recently at Malta
Bend, Mo. A bull pup, owned by
Noah Hershey, went along, and when
the noise stasted, snapped at one
of the boys. The dog was driven
away and then turned upon Grant,
jumping upon him and biting his
left arm severely. The decorations
were deep and the bone was crushed
slightly. A doctor was called at
once to care for the boy and dressed
the wound, painful one.
That broke up the charivari par
ty. The WagamanS were eating
supper when the noise began and
wondered why the celebration ceased
soon after it was begun. Later
they discovered that the dog didn't
like the noise Of the pots and pans.
Today the, Fisher boy was better
though the injury is very painful.
The arm swelled somewhat this
morning but no serious results are
expected.

From the boat I saw fields OF
corn like we have in America, the
first / ever saw in Europe. 1t was
introduced In this country by the
government. At dinner we had
corn on the cob" and the Hungar-
ians eat in the good American style,
burying the face in the corn until
the butter ran down the sides of the
mouth. Table manners are much
the same in polite society the world
over but there are often local pecul-
iarities. A charming Hungarian
lady sat opposite to me at the table.
She consumed the corn, washed 1t
down with q glass Of beer, picked
her teeth and lighted a cigarette.
None of these would have been con-
sidered proper In Kansas, but they
are the correct etiquette in Hun
gary. When q woman can eat corn
ON the cob, drink beer. pick her
teeth and light cigarette, and
still look charming, 1t is evidence
that she is pretty and attractive.
so / introduce that fact as evidence
on the looks of the lady Huns.
The Hungarian language can be
worshipped, for 1t is like nothing
else on the earth or in the waters.
All the west European languages are
based on the Latin and German and
the printed words look like Eng
lish. But the Hungarian language
is a Job lot of consonants without
roots and a printed line looks like
a head end collision between two
freight trains. Another word for
is Magyar but that does
been great writer's, poets and must
,ians in Hungary

thority that, on the return trip,
Mr.. Deets gave practical demon
stration of his subject, his exer-
tions growing rather audible at
times, the most noticeable occa-
sion being at the Ludlow Creek
crossing, about two miles from the
Agency. There seems to be con-
f1icting stories as to this circum-
stance, the chafeur claiming that
the cylinders of the machine were
knocking, while State Engineer
Derr states positively that what
appeared to be a knocking was
MIR. Deets snoring in bis most ap-
proved style, and that while engag-
ed in this capacity, he fell out. At
any rate, MIR. Deets was missing
from the machine when the party
arrived at the Agency about 8 a. M.
Thursday morning Mr.. Deets
claimed to haye gotten out of the
machine to give this demonstra-
tion in sslifting,o but in view of
the conflict in the two stories, the
real reason must be left to the inn
agination of the reader. However,
it is fact that Mr.. Deets was left
| by his party two miles from the
Agency, to contend on foot with
the stickiest kind of Reservation

a process could be evolved where
