TALENT.

Young Schuman Hoffman Wagner
Was pianist quite grand.
When only three he used to play
Bach fugues with either hand.
He then took up Beethoven
And practiced many years.
And when he played sonatas
His audience shed tears.
Well send him off to Europe"
His folks said, Where he'll learn
To get the soulful feeling
Out of that there Fifth Nocturne.
He studied many years or more.
HIS talents seemed to grow.
For now he tears of ragtime
At moving picture show.
Don Allen.

Tobacco Nearly Costs Eye.

It is an old Chinese custom to ap-

Of the body. Adherence to the fallaci-

Lee Kay, thirty-one years old, works
on a ranch at the end of West Jeffer-
son street with Jong Jan, says the Los
Angeles Times. They quarreled about
which should dress up and come to
town for some provisions, and dur
ing the argument, Jung is alleged to
have struck Lee in the eye with a
china bowl.
The dish cut a terrible cash over
and under the eye, and the injured
man was unconscious when he was
rushed to Chinatown for treatment.
There a doctor. after failing to find a

OF smoking tobacco and sprinkled it

At the receiving hospital Doctor

More than q million dollars worth
of business was done last year by the
Mitchell County Cooperative associa-
ton. The association was organized
four years ago by some Kansas farm
ers. They subscribed in shares Of SO

own more than thirty shares. and
started with a capital Of $4,000. The
associations business last year to-
tailed nearer two million dollars than
one million. In addition to paying the
regular dividend of per cent to its
members they received q rebate.
amounting to all the other profits for
the year.
Membership has Increased until
now 1t is nearly one thousand and the
capital stock $4,000 The association
has six grain elevators in Mitchell
county. which last year brought the
farmers of that county $10S.00 more
for their wheat than they would have
received but for the competitive bid
ding of their elevators.
But this concern is not interested
in wheat only. but in many activities.

AMERICAN QUAIL IN CANADA
Birds Have Migrated in Large Num-
bers From This Country to Our
Northern Neiqhbor.

A novelty for British Columbia
sportsmen this season is the appear
ance of large numbers of American
or Bob White" quail in several To-
calities in Vancouver, according to
Consul General r. E. Mansfield.
Previous efforts to introduce this
species of game bird in the Canadian
Pacific coast country have failed and
the bevies reported this year are
said to have migrated from the
South Of their own occord and in
some places they are reported quite
plentiful.
The birds came into this province
for the first time last season. By next
season it is expected that the quail
will have attained great number. This
addition to the game birds OF the
province compensates for the willow
grouse, which have been, for some
reason. disappointingly small in re-
cent years.
