Poor Hen Had to Die.

+, One Friday Mrs. C. P, Waisner
bought a hen at an Atchison grocery
store, intending to kill, dress and cook
it for Sunday dinner She took the
hen home, where it promptly laid an
egg. Mrs. Waisner was pleased and
did not kill the hen that day. Satur-
day the hen laid another egg, and Mrs.
Wafsner decided to spare the hens
life as long as it laid eggs. 1t laid an
egg every day for a while and then
showed a disposition to set. By that
time Mrs. Waisner had grown very
fond of the hen and named it Emma.
So she set Emma on Is eggs, and in
due course of time the hen came off
from the nest with 10 chickens. Most
of the chickens were roosters. and
as they grew UP Mrs. Waisner ate
them, and finally ate Emma.-Atchi-

James r. Garfield of Cleveland. son
Of the late President Garfield, told one
of the editors of the American Maya
zine the following story about travei.
ing in 1873 as boy with his father,
who was campaigning. One night.
after a speech in Michigan. young Gar
field said to his father: "Why do you
repeat so much? Do you know you
said the same things several times to-
night? Do you know that you said
the same things tonight that you said
this afternoon in Detroit?" General
Garfield made this reply: you hap
pen to be an especially interested
party and notice these repetitions.
Others do not. repeat the same
statements deliberately In order that
people may finally get them. Any
thing that | want an audience to get
and remember I repeat several times
lin somewhat different form perhaps.
This practice I developed out of my
experience which has shown me that
peoples attention is distracted in va
rious ways and that first or second
statement may not really get to them.

MYSTERY OF A BIG PISTOL
Probability That Weapon Found Un-
der surratt. House May Have
Belonged to Booth.

One OF the numerous letters re-
ceived by the Rambler in connection
with his recent account of trip over
part of the route which John Wilkes
Booth and David Herold followed in
their flight from Washington after
the assassination of Lincoln has come
from Miss Irene Milstead. She tells
of the finding of an old pistol under
the Surratt house, at Surrattsville.
Firearms we're hidden in the Surratt
tavern, but 1t is believed that those
which were stored there to be used,
presumably by the abductors Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, we're taken from the
place by Booth and Herold when they
stopped there at about midnight In
their fight from Washington.
Miss Milstead says: about nine
teen years ago the old house at Sur
rattsville was either rebuilt or remod-
eled. or. at any rate, part OF 1t was
torn down, and under it was found an
old pistol. After reading your article
in the Star l wondered if there could
be any possibility Of the pistol having
been hidden by Booth or his compan-
ions 1t has been in my possession
ever since it was found. 1t is very
large pistol of the Beale make and
seems to have been made in 1856.

"WooIner's Tip."

The little tip or point that often APP
pears on the inwardly folded margin
of the human ear near the top has re-
ceived the name of "Woolner's Tip"
from the sculptor Woolner, who first
reproduced 1t in his bust Of Darwin.
Other sculptors. though they must
have noticed the tip. never reproduced
1t. Darwin held that this tip was a
remnant Of wrinkle left by the coll
ing up of the ear. and hence a proof Of
mans descent from lower animals.

Military Rank Always Recognized az
Taking Precedence Over Even
Highest Civilian Standing.

In front of the headquarters OF the
German general stan an American cor
respondent witnessed an amusing lit
tie scene not long ago. Military dis
cipline is strict in the German army
and military rank, in war time, SUI
persedes civil rank. SO he was more
interested than surprised to observe,
on looking at a couple Of noncommis
stoned officers, waiting patiently for
their young lieutenant, who had gone
in to do the talking, that the elder,
and. by the straps on his uniform, the
lower in rank of the two. was IA

renowned university who bears also
the honored title OF privy councillor.

trimmed spectacles-had. 1t seemed.
enlisted with almost his whole class
at the outbreak of the war, but, ow-
ing to his age, he was not allowed to
go to the front with them at the time.
He had at length been permitted to
go. but only as part Of the escort OF
four automobile loads of gifts and sup
plies for the regiment. The lieuten-
ant in charge was at the. moment re-
porting their arrival to his superior
within; the professor, and a young
peasant-born "F'eldwebel," a noncom-
missioned officer Of rank a step above
the professors, were waiting for him
outside. The wait threatened to be-
come wearisome.
Presently the old professor ran

pie, clicked his heels together in reg
ulation fashion, and saluting his young

His ranking superior acknowledged
the gift with curt military punctilio,
then added respectfully:

New Guinea "sorcerer" Apparently
Recognized Justice Of the Sen
tenee Imposed on Him.

Not long since, in anNand village
in New Guinea, a certain motherIn-
law fell ILL A puri-puri man was
fetched to her aid from neighboring
village. Could the puri-puri man cure
the mother-in-law? oh, yes, the puri-
puri man could surely cure the moth
er-inlawl The puri-puri man must
have, however as a fee for the cure,
dog and a pig. II was a bargain.
The dog and the pig passed into the
possession of the sorcerer and he set
confidently to work. 1t was testified,
in the course of the trial which pres
emily came on, that the sorcerer, who
was by this time the deceased in the
case, had made a few passes" over
the motherin-law and returned to his
/ village.
Now, my good woman" said he.
upon departing, you will get we'll"
This was not so.

when next the sorcerer came.

Hum" It is easy to imagine the
CONSERVATION Of the sorcerer. i,
Very well, then" declared the soh-
in-law. "As | paid you dog and a pig
to cure my mother.in-law. and as you
did not cure her, l am going to kill
you"
Thereupon the son-in-aw went of
with two friends in search of wea-
I.pons. Witnesses of what followed told
the magistrate before whom the case
was tried that the sorcerer made no
| attempt to escape-that he calmly
awaited the inevitable event Pres
emily the avengers returned. The SON.
in-law grievously speared the sorcerer;
and the Misunderstanding countenance
and aid-dispatched him with their
stone clubs. Not one of these men

persuaded that they had done any
thing out of the way Had the
sorcerer not been paid a dog and a
pig for his medicine? And had not
his cure failed? And was he not a
sorcerer, nyhow?vNorman Duncan

Cleanliness and Cash.

"The day has passed" says the bull
letin of the Chicago health depart
ment. when a dealer in foodstuns can
keep a dirty. fiy-infested store ana
hope to hold his trade. That this Is
true is due to the fact that today ev-
cry housewife knows that flies carry
unspeakable filth on their feet and
that they leave 1t on whatever food
they are permitted to come In contact
with. And because this is true. the
careful. intelligent women are doing
their household marketing In clean
stores. And. once more, this is why
cleanliness counts for both cash and
customers"

SEEKS TRACES OF LOST RACE
New Yorker Is investigating Fate OF
Arawak Indians, Who Once
PeopIed Jamaica.

When in 1494, on his second voyage,
Columbus discovered the island of ia
maica, it was populated by the Arawak
Indians, who, although at first hostile
to him, became friendly on his giving
them clothing and other articles hith-
erto unknown to them. When, later.
the Spaniards settled the island. they
forced the Indians not only to do agri-
cultural work in their own island. but
to labor in the gold mines of Haiti. So
hard we're the Spanish taskmasters
that by 1858 the whole Arawak nation
was exterminated. During the last six
years G. c. Longley of Pelham manor.
In New York. has been seeking to re-
cover all possible traces of the lost
race To that end he has spent the
winter on the island In exploring the
old kitchen middens, or refuse heaps,
of the Arawaks, in which he has found
besides shells and pottery. and fish.
turtle and cony bones, many celts. or
rude chisels. grinding stones. stone
pendants, and axes, 800 objects in
all. The whole collection he has given
to the American museum of natural
history in New York city. To the
anthropologist, says the Youths Com
panion, the most interesting objects
are the cylindrical stone pendants,
which were fashioned with sand and
stone by endless rubbing. Pendants
Of exactly the same sort are worn to-
day as insignia of office by chiefs or
headmen of tribes in northern South
America.
