Scarcity of Wire Rope in Russia.


1t is reported by the American con-
sui general at Moscow Russia, that the
petroleum producers of the Baku dis
trict are experiencing considerable in
convenience from the scarcity of steel
wire rope. Previous to the war wire
rope and wire TO be made into rope by
Russian manufacturers were imported
principally from England At present,
in consequence of the limited exports
of steel goods from England, steel
wire rope Of British manufacture has
almost disappeared from the local
markets and it's price has arisen from
800 to 400 per cent. At conference
held in Baku to discuss this subject,
it was proposed temporarily to sub
stitute for steel-wire ropes, hemp
ropes. which it may be possible to OBJ
tain from India. 1t was stated that
Swedish wire rope had been found sat

Many Women Use Cigarettes.

Women putting cigarettes in restau.
rants is so common in New York that
it no longer attracts attention, but
when they do their smoking in hotel
lobbies mere man is sure to give them
the once over. One afternoon recently
an attractive young woman was en-
gagged in an animated discussion with
man in the foyer Of the Vanderbilt
hotel. She gesticulated with graceful
waves Of the hand and tapped neatly
shod foot impatiently against the floor.
He fumbled for cigarette case
extracted a cigarette and lighted
1t. Then, as if remembering his
manners, he extended the ciga-
rette case with an apology. The
young woman smiled her thanks,
took a cigarette. rolled it deity
between her fingers and perched it be-
tween her lips. She motioned her
companion to give her light, which
he did. Then she took deep puff and
returned to the subject matter in hand.
OF course, everybody in the lobby tried
to appear unconscious. They looked
at the palms, admired the cut flowers
on the desk and then went back to a
discreet and yelled contemplation of
the absorbed couple, enmeshed in their
own problems and cigarette smoke.

WHEAT CROP MAY BE INJURED
Agricultural College Expert Sees Dan
ger in Ice and SIeet Which
Covers the State.

Severe winter killing of wheat and
young alfalfa may result from the ice
sheet that covers Kansas if it remains
long on the fields, L. e. Call professor
of agronomy in the Kansas Agricul
tural College, says. Sleet fell recently
on frozen ground in Kansas, and wheat
plants, soil and snow have been frozen
together. Examination of the wheat
plants is being made by the college.
Professor Call advises the farmers
TO either disc or roll their wheat and
alfalfa to break the ice and admit air
to the plants. Six years ago similar
conditions killed large acreages of
winter wheat and alfalfa, Professor
Call stated, and continuance of pres
ent weather conditions may result in
considerable loss.

LOVER PAID FOR HIS WIFE
Indian Chief Called Her His Daughter,
But Sweetheart Found She Was
White Girl.

There lives in small city in one
of the western states happy old cou-
pie who passed through many thrilling
experiences during those times when
the West was in the making. The old
man is fond Of relating these expert
ences, and he often tells of how he
found wife among the Brule Sioux,
who were at that time the most rest
less and troublesome of the plains In
| dams.
At the close of the Civil war this
man was about twenty-five years Of
age, and of an adventurous nature.
He went to st. Louis, Mo-, where he
fell in with party Of traders bound
up the Missouri river to barter for buff
falo skins with the Indians The ven
ture was successful, and after a year
spent in the wilderness the party start
ed back, their fiat boats loaded with
the baled buffalo hides.
One evening the party stopped for
the night near an Indian encampment,
and here the young man met what he
considered to be the most beautiful
Indian girl he had ever seen. She
was apparently about twenty years of
age, and although she was dark COM
pleXioned and had beautiful black hair
and eyes she did not possess the fea
lures of an Indian. Anyway, the
young man gave little thought to her
nationality. 1t was a case of love at
first sight, and although his compan-
ions resumed their journey the follow
ing morning, the young man remained
to court the maiden, who it appeared
was the daughter of chief. He won
her hand, and, according to Indian
custom, paid the chief the purchase
price of the girl.
The girl, according to the chief, was
not Indian, but of white parentage.
She had been adopted by the chief
when she was baby, her parents hav-
ing been killed by the Indians on one
Of their raids against the frontier set
Elements. Subsequent Investigations
proved the truth of the chiefs story
and eventually the girl was able tc
get in touch with many Of her rela-
tives in the East.
The young man took the girl to st.
Louis, where she was placed under
the care of a relative to learn the
white mans language and ways of liy.
ing. A year later the marriage took
place. After few years spent in the
East they returned to the prairies,
where they took up land and where
they have resided happily ever since.

THE KANSAS SPIRIT.
BY w. E. PAXTON.

Above the prares sweep, impaired by silent stars,
Above the singing rivers coursing sandy bars,
High in the wooing heavens longing for The Day,
Are Faith Hope and Love, that teach the way
When Redman pitched his tent rich fertile plain
When wild horse fiery nostriled his cleaning
When bison deer and fowl fed from her verdant
All loved the Hand provding-the God that adore
Each Kansan views in visions, progress yet be-
He is a mariner uncharted sea;
Content he be a trailer of the sod
Unveils with inner sight, his Master and his God
To labor is to pray-not sordid plead gold
Good deeds and kindly words his very being holds
And Doubt and Fear and Lust find congenial soil;
Lfes richest boon and blessing is happiness toll
o land serene majestic pure s the winds that blow!
Our pride the Kansas mother equal and true,
If human love is holy, It's only found in YOU
Fabled as land of treasure El Dorado quest
Where child mind the diamond adjoining mother breast;
More highly priced than gold is fellowship of man;
Here bread the waters you again,
And lives in knship with peaceful sister
Fer hoping not for conflict, she arms not idly prates;
For live, but die, is her Gods decree
If both be bold and valiant, and they'll be free
AS Eagle with his eye the King of Day.
Above all earthly strife is armed for the fray,
DO Kansas attain, in time the eagles flight
And like the Eagle fear no foeman in the fight.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition OF the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc.
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un,
less the kidneys are doing their worl;
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy il
DR.. Kilmers Swamp-Root.
The mild and healing influence of thi,
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have uset
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention
get Swamp Root at once from any phar
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two si2es-50c and $l00.
However, if you wish first to test thi,
great preparation, send ten cents to DR.
