Stockn1aT1 Sends
TtOo-Ha-Og7e Calf
To Aggie College

Council Grove, Kan, April IA
Hereford calf, with two heads, two
necks. two backbones and two tails,
was sent to the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college Thursday by James H.
Smart, a contractor and stockman of
this place. Outside of these deformi-
ties and the fact that the calf was born
dead it is good animal
Stockmen say this is the greatest
freak of nature ever seen. The body
Of the calf is normal size and perfect
~ formed except for the superfluous
appendanges fore and aft. The ami
NAL was sent as a present to the col
lege.

FORGET 1T.
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS.

The Christmas tree is all alight be-
tween us and the trenches; beyond 1t
lies a grevous fight and suffering and
stenches; this side of it are all things
good, and little folks are singing, and
over field and stream and wood their
Joyous tones are winging. So let us
pull the curtain down on periscopes
and dying, and spread our smiles all
over town, and cut out sobs and sigh
ing. The little folks know naught Of
war, and little folks are happy; they
have no notion what it's for nor why
the kings are scrappy; and we know
no more than they do of the outland-
ish reason; so let US sing: "The skies
are blue, it is the Christmas season !"
So let us bring the turkey in aid tote
in wood for mother, and polish up our
Christmas grin and try to love our
brother. The world is full of friend
ships yet, the world is filed with low
ing, and love outshines coroEet, and
sympathy beats showing. SO let us
load the Christmas tree anG let us
wear a posy and join the children in
their glee at ring-around-arosy =

It had been arranged that they were
to be married at high noon on Christ
mas day at HarrietS old home. Then
there was to be a quiet family dinner
there, followed by reception to their
friends at Harriet's new home, where
open house was to be kept IN honor OF
the day and the event. There their
friends gathered in the afternoon, and
there the presentation was to occur.
For Hary's young men friends OF
whom there were a few despite his
short residence in the town, and Har-
riet's, of whom there were more, had
decided to give them, in addition to
all the 'litt1e stuff one practical gift
Of larger proportions. So they had
"chipped i'm and bought them mag
nificent leather rocker, one of the big,
comfortable kind; and that was to be

Stearns?"


"Yes,' stammered the chairman,
quite undecided what to say or do.
II thought SO. My, how you favor
your father! And I was at your
christenin'. I guess that was about
the last time l was anywhere When
my rheumatic got so bad. And your
father would "a been proud Of you
this day. If he could known what you
was goin' to do for an old friend of his,
God rest him!''
At the mention Of his father, the
chairman was astonished to find his
hat still on his head. He pulled it off,
hurriedly, ashamed. Then through
that head went fitting first a quick
memory Of his father and then the
most astonishing thing in the world
his carefully-prepared speech to- the
bride. He had said it over SO many
times to himself in secret that after
noon, to make sure he would not break
down when the moment came, that now
everything else seemed to have van
ished. Then an even more astonishing
thing happened. It astonished him,
and it quite paralyzed the other young
men.
That presentation speech, altered by
but word here and there as he STUN
! bled and steered away from the lnap-
propriate phrase, came falling from
his lips.
'And for many a year." he finished,
ssmay you sit by your own freside as
the shadows of life lengthen, with this
! chair to give you comfort and to re-
mind you Of the boys of the old town."
! There was nothing for the rest to do
but applaud that speech, to wish
! Merry Christmas!" over and over, to
bend the head for that venerable God
bless you'll" and to go quietly away.
The car was turned westward again
before any man spoke word. Then
it was Will Stearns:
! "Wen, what do you know about
that?"
There's nothing for them now, but
we can scare up something tomorrow
j and say nothing about this" said an
other.
! But someone told one of the girls
! who knew all about the chair, and at
the collation. the whole story came out.
Will Stearus was even made to stand
up and give that speech. And the
bride declared, and, bless her dear
heart ! everybody believed her, that she
was glad it had turned out just the
way it did.
Somebody remembered the old lady's
name, and then somebody else remem-
bered that it was said that her father
was the man who planted those elms
on Elm street in the early days Of
! the town. The bride announced that
! she was going over to see the dear old
/ soul.
She did 60, and often, and her nurs-
ing did much to ease that rheumatic.

Now, S72 East is a little tumble

They all piled out and followed the

So they entered in the dusk. 1t was

Not far from the window stood the
celebrated leather rocker, with a cane
close at hand. In the chair sat little
old woman, with her face smiling hap
PLY under unkept gray hair. Her face
was white, her wrinkles were many,
but her eyes shone with the real Christ
mas light.

the wedding, of course, right here at
the very opening Of the story, really
makes the story superfluous, which is
Bostonese FIR mo use" In a story,
the wedding is supposed to be the y
last thing.
Harry was a young architect and
engineer who had only just opened an
office in the town. When he came out
of college he reached the conclusion
that he would do better to set up a
business in some small town and grow
up with it than to grow old unnoticed
in some older town. That is how he
came to be here. He met Harriet soon
after his arrival and it wasn't long be-
fore he was desperately in love with
her.
There really wasn't very much the
matter with Harry-except Harriet.
And there wasn't anything at all the
matter with Harriet-in Harry's opin-
ion. So, after he had got down to
business-both at his Office and tn
Harriet-she said YES" Their mar
rage brought them a great deal OF
happiness, and, what was more Pc
culiar, a great deal Of happiness to
someone who wasn't related to them
in any way. Which is what the story
is about. This other person not only
was not related to them, but was
scarcely known to them. She lived in
the other end Of town. Elm avenue
runs right through the town from east
to west. At one end, the west end, it
is we'll named, for it is bordered by
stately elms that shade fine residences,
and coy bungalows, like that which
Harry had provided for Harriet,
planned with the architects best
thought.
