Don't Like Name Sammies.

But this is definite protest against
that most banal of all names - the
"Sammies." The newspapers have
taken it up. and they made it stick.
If all the newspapers in the world
continue to speak of the American
soldier as Sammy, other people may
eventually follow suit. All but the SOL
dier himself. That Sammy" stigma is
about the only thing that gets his mill
tary goat. He froths about it.
Wherever l have gone in the Ameri-
can Army have asked the same ques-
ton:
Ever hear any of the soldiers speak
of themselves as 'Sammies'?"
No one ever has. officers and men
alike bitterly blame the newspapers for
this outrage. They wonder if they will
be able to live it down. Today l visit
ed an infantry organization in com
pany with one of the best known
magazine writers of the day. The first
officer we spoke to came right to the
point:

them. too. The men resent it as

Poilus, French Soldiers.

France calls her soldiers "poilus."
That means hairy, and is a term of
praise as well as endearmert. Time was
when the Frenchman's chief glory was
his beard. The whiskerer he was the
more competent he felt to fill an echo
ing place in the world. Friends who
have lived in France for years have
told me of encountering bearded
Trenchmen in tramcars.
The bearded ones would stare alb
0ontly at the bare American face. By
and by, unconsciously, as though fol-
lowing out subterranean train of
thought, they would begin stroking
their flowing vanities. Sometimes they
ware foppish and offensive persons, who
would comb out their chinlocks and pet
them, while their eyes were fixed on
the naked unfortunate across the way.
''See what a whisker I have they
seemed to be saying to themselves.
Don't you envy me?

ATTACKS HIMSELF
Mute Crazed When Divorced
Wife Turns Him Down.
He Tried to Cave in Own Head
With a Hatchet.

Because ]. W. Kirkpatrick, deaf and
dumb, tried to cave his own head in
with a board and then with Ratchet,
when he learned that his deaf and
dumb and divorced wife would have
nothing to do with him, he will be ex-
amined for his sanity by DIR. c. c. Lull,
late this afternoon.
j. w. Kirkpatrick and his wife were
divorced early last winter after a trial
in which there were both smiles and
tears. Neither could speak a word
and neither could hear a word, but
both knew fairly well what was going
on. Thru other people and thru writ
ten statements they made charges
against each other. She charged him
with cruelty. He charged her with
'nagging' him-on paper. She sought
the divorce and he fought to retain her
in his household.
A few days ago Kirkpatrick wrote
to his former wife's nephew at Abb
lene and begged him to come to To-
peka and attempt to patch matters up.
i The nephew, whose name is Darling,
came to Topeka, talked with his aunt
then reported to Kirkpatrick. Kirk
patrick has been living at log East
| Sixth street, upstairs. Darling re-
rick desired nothing more in the
world than to have nothing whatever
| to do with kirkpatrick.
| According to the story told in pro-
| bate court today Kirkpatrick ran
amuck when Darling filed his report.
i He picked up a board and attempted
| to beat his own brains out with it.
Darling took 1T away from him, then
Kirkpatrick grabbed a Ratchet and
attempted to DO himself violence. A
neighboring roomer heard the racket
| and entered the room in time to aid
| Darling in confiscating the Ratchet.
Then Kirkpatrick dove under the bed,
where he keeps a gun. Before he
could reach it the two men pounced
upon him and held him. Officers
were called and kirkpatrick was plac-
ed in Jail.
Mr.. Darling reported the matter to
Ralph Cav, probate judge, today and
expressed the opinion that Kirkpat-
rick is insane. Doctor Lull, county
physician, will make an examination
and if he finds kirkpatrick mentally
unbalanced he will be committed to
the state hospital, or some other in

Not long ago he completed a similar
inspection. His company, he announc
ed, is starting a well thirteen miles

Other Wells to Go Down.
Besides the Dunn-Luce well, the

Gas company is drilling a well with
the bit down to the !, 650foot mark a
short distance south of the former
company's location. The latter COM
pany in June will begin drilling still
farther south on the same anticline. A
farmer named Dodson is getting rig
on the ground to sink a test a short
distance northeast of the Dunn-Luce
well. A Topeka company is drilling
short distance west of Wakarusa
with the bit down 1900 feet.
Believes Oil Is There.
Marten believes there is oil in the
Kansas field, near Topeka. Recently
he made several trips thru the Okla
homa and southern Kansas fields and
declares that the Usage and southern
Shawnee prospects compare favorably
with the Glenn Pool field. The struc
ture, he declared is practically the
same.
The fact that showing was made
in the Overlook we'll proves cor
clusively that there is oil in the vicin-
ity," said Marten. 1t now remains for
the drills to prove how much.
The formation near Overlook is
the most favorable I have seen for
some time"
