A KanSan Lives in Bee Hive

When Dick Goggin, a farmer living
near Junction City, Kansas, wants
little honey for his morning buckwheat
cakes, he steps out OF the front door Of
his home, prizes a board from the side
of his house and extracts the amount
he desires. Several years ago a swarm
of bees selected the air space under
the weatherboarding for home, enter

SCIENTIFIC STOVE CLEANING
WITH AID OF GRAIN ALCOHOL
Laws Interfered With the Prosecution of
Perfectly Legitimate Occupation

Not long since a Leavenworth party
applied to one of the vendors Of spirits
(according to law. OF course) for gal
Ion of grain alcohol. The vendor half
suspected his customer wanted the
alcohol for bibulous purposes, the sale
of which, for that purpose is inderdicted
by the law Of the land, so he
interrogated the man. "What do you
want so much alcohol TO"
II want it to clean stoves"
Clean Stoves7 How many stoves
have you to clean7" "
-Four" replied the man with red
pimple on his nose.
Does it require that much alcohol
to clean four Stoves" replied the
vendor, his doubts OF the propriety of
dispensing that much condensed drunk
at one time to one individual. rising
higher
''Yes. but they are great big stoves"
reioined the man with redness of eyes
and a certain nervous disorder peculiar
to those who tarry long at the wine.
"They are what some people call
range, and each one is as long as
fence rail, and it takes lot of alcohol
to go over EN- and get EN- clean,"
Would not wood alcohol do the
business, It is much cheaper, too,"
replied the vendor.
NO." ventured the customer for fire
water, For stove cleaning wood
alcohol is no good. The wood in it
ruins the stove" I never use anything
but grain alcohol Of the best kind for
cleaning stoves. It's the only kind that
does a good Job, and have to keep
up my reputation. You know poor
mans reputation is his capital"
The vendor Of spirits according to
law was not satisfied with the
explanation, tho he confessed he knew
nothing about scientific stove cleaning,
still the disparity between four stoves,
tho large, and a gallon Of alcohol, and
a hundred and fifty dollar fine, somehow
decided him to decline the melifluous
and plausible pleading Of the customer
with redness of eyes, so he said, l
think it would be violation OF law for
me to sell you the quantity of grain
alcohol you want, tho have no doubt
Of the legitimacy of your occupation,
and the use you want to make of it.
Still under the circumstances I won't
take your money"
The professional stove cleaner started
out uttering imprecations against law
makers who could not distinguish
between getting drunk and cleaning

NATIONAL CAPITOL NEWS
Some Democrats For Fair EleCti0nS-War
Decreases immigration Single
Item Veto

Washington, Jan. 31-lSpecial
Correspondence )-There has long
been a feeling in Congress, among
Democrats and Republicans alike, that
the President should be vested with
power, through an amendment to the
Constitution, to veto individual items
of appropriation instead Of being
compelled to disapprove an entire
bill in order to get rid OF one
Objectionable paragraph in it. Con-
gresham Walter w. Magee OF New
York is one Of those who hold to that
view. In Mr.. Magee's opinion it is
the most effectual means of removing
for all time the cry OF pork" when an
omnibus appropriation bill has been
passed by Congress, and cites the law
in his own State where the governor
has the power to reject one or more
items in appropriation bills presented
to him for approval. II trust that the
time will come, exclaimed Repre-
sentative Magee, when some
President, as the leader OF great
political party will urge such an
amendment to the Constitution that
will result in the saving of millions OF
dollars annually to the Government" {.
Through correspondence it is
developed that there are a few Demo
Gratis in Congress who approve Of the
principle involved in the Gallinger
amendment to the corrupt practices
bill. Two OF them, Messrs. Bruckner
and Farley, hail from New York, where
the blighting effect Of the swollen
Democratic strength from the South
has been most whitening. In spite OF
their utmost efforts, New York Demo
Gratis have seen their party in Congress,
led by the South, proceed to penalize
New York by every form OF taxation
which ingenuity can devise within the
limits OF the Constitution, They do not
like it, their constituents do not like it
and they realize that the Gallinger
amendment points the way to relief.
Prior to the outbreak OF the war in
Europe our net gain in immigration
was more than "a, 100 per month. At
that rate, during % months of the war
up to the date when the last statistics
were published, we would have had
gain of 1,85o.000. AS a matter of
fact, our gain in population through
immigration was only 100000. The
war, therefore, caused relative
decrease of $4,000 in our popula-
ton. That is to say if the war
had not occurred our population
today would be $4,000 greater than
it is and this increase would have been
chiefly Of people OF the laboring class.
More than a million and half Of work
ing people added to our population
would make a vast difference in the
rate of wages the laboring people are
receiving.
