Pigeons In constantinopIe.

In no big city in the world are there
so many tame pigeons as in CONSTANT
nople. In many squares in London
there are small fiocks of pigeons, but
In the Turkish capital they are to be
seen by the thousand. These pigeons
are sacred, and, indeed, many a
wealthy Turk leaves money to be de-
voted to buying food for them. The
story Of why they are sacred is rather
interesting. When Mohammed, the
Turkish prophet, was flying from his
enemies he hid in a cavern. At the
mouth Of the cavern two pigeons built
their nest, so tradition runs, while
across the entrance a spider spun its
web. The soldiers who came along
some days later felt certain that no one
had entered the cave, seeing the birds
nesting and the spiders web, and so
never troubled to enter it and search.
Ever since then the Turks have held
pigeons and spiders to be sacred.

A Natural Born Spender.

When a long forgotten cousin died
and left Miss Mitfield a round hun
dred thousand the entire village, after
having recovered from the shock, fell
to wondering whether the faded little
spinster. after having for sixty-three
years pinched and scraped and plain
sewed just to keep soul and body to-
gether. would, after all, get much CON-
fort from her eleventh hour opulence.
The state OF little Miss Mitfeld's
mind was revealed when her next door
neighbor inquired what she should do
with her money ID she mean to
save it?
"Saye itT Her eyes flashed with
new found scorn. Listen to me,

Mamma the Baby.

Give your baby a name that will suit
him or her throughout life. Let it be
a euphonious, well balanced name, in
dicative of intelligence, character and
success and one so easily written or
spoken that no nicknames will ever be
found necessary. If there is available
a family name with these good quail
ties, all the better. Do not indulge in
levity, do not give way to sentiment,
do not surrender to affectation or TO
nance in this matter of selecting a
suitable name, and avoid novel COM
binations and plays upon words with
out loading the child down with cheap
commonplace.-Dalla News.

Abilene, Kan.-Fewer people are en-
gagged IN agricultural pursuits in Kan
sas now than ten years ago, according
to ]. c. Mohler, secretary Of the state
board Of agriculture.
'Tn 1895 Of those engaged in all &C.

ture," he declared, land in 1905 80 per
cent and in 1915 46 per cent It Is
very discouraging sign in a state like
Kansas, where agriculture is the over
shadowing industry, that fewer instead
Of more people are engaging in It"
Some Of the serious problems that
must be solved in Kansas are those Of

lands, employment Of capital, better
farming and the improvement Of con-
ditions Of rural life, Mr.. Mohler as

Early Estimates That Republican Vote Would Total

Rain in the southwestern section of
the state that has made roads inpas-
sable; a drizzling rain through the
north central section, with rains also
prevailing in the Minot and Stanley
district, will reduce the primary vote
in those sections of the state:
In the eastern region of the state,
rains did not come till this afternoon,
by which time practically the whole
vote was cast. both in the country and
city districts.
Probably no election has found such
lively voting early in the day. At many
of the polls in Fargo. there were
groups Of voters on hand, awaiting the
opening, This is a most unusual con-
dition "
Early estimates have placed the
prospective Republican vote in North
Dakota about 10000. The rain that is
falling in several sections may have
the effect of cutting this total down.
The last Republican primary brought
out about $4,000 voters. .....
From the rural districts surrounding

showing that very heavy country
vote is being polled In this region, the
same holding true in other Red. river
