WOUNDS WIN LOTTERY
Soldier Interprets 1t in Lucky Num-
Der That Wins $4,000.
BY JOHN III. HEARLEY

Rome, Oct. "a black-haired SOL
der dropped into the state lottery Of
flee at Brescia, hesitating before the
busy clerk while vainly trying TO think
of lucky numbers"
"Oh, play on your wound, II may
bring you luck" advised the impatient
clerk, glancing at the silver tape on
the soldiers arm which indicated that
he had been wounded at the front. .
The clerk got out the soothsaying
book and between them they inter-
preted the wound in lucky numbers"
The date and zone of the battle, the
nature of the bullet and the feelings
of it's victim, all had their numerical
equivalents.
Il don't want to win for myself, .
the soldier remarked. I'm thinking
of Maria and the youngsters. Think
of what the money would mean to
them. Madonna mia, bless my num-

my numbers down and send my win

the lotteryman. The clerk jotted the
soldiers numbers in a notebook and
turned to several talkative peasants.
The drawings were later held under
the eye of Italian officialdom. The
next DAY the clerk remembered the
soldier and referring to his notebook
discovered that the wounded stranger
had won $4,000

water is poured into a wooden tub
and the child gets in too. While the
doctor pumps water thru the shower
the nurse scrubs AS the child whitens
the water blackens. AT the finish the
rubber shower tube is suddenly shifted
into a bucket of fresh cold water and

The King and the Rose.

Once there was a great King who
lived in a marble palace and had
every thing that great kings should
and beautiful garden filled with all
kinds of flowers. and the King and his
daughter walked its pathways day
after day. Yet they were not quite
satisfied, for such flowers as bloomed
for them bloomed everywhere thru
out the kingdom. even in the peasants
gardens just outside the palace walls.
So one day the King made up his
mind that there should be in his gar
den some particular flower as no one
else in all the realm might look upon.
His messengers went far and wide,
into other chimes and other lands, and
in their search they found a Rose
most beautiful and fair. This pleased
the King and he ordered it to be cul-
tivated and guarded with a special
care, and when he and his daughter
walked the garden paths they smiled
to think how beautiful it was that
they only had such a Rose, and that
it was walled up with high and solid
work of stone from prying eyes
Now, while Roses love Kings and
Kings daughters, they love humble
people, too. Just outside the palace
wall was the tiny cottage of a peasant
and in this cottage lived a peasants
daughter whom the new Rose thought
to be as lovely as the daughter of the
King. For one day when this Rose
had grown so tall that it could look
over the walls it saw the peasants
daughter. and seeing, loved her.
While the King and Princess slept.

SESSIONS is IN LUCK
Stray Cat Curls Up Under Candidates
Desk.

Cats play q more or less important
part in the affairs of Charles H. Ses-
sions, secretary to Governor Capper,
and 1918 gubernatorial possibility.
Once in the campaign of 1914, SEES
sions ran a city block to heave a paw
ing brick at an Angora cat that it
might not cross his path. Now a
Maltese kitten has curled up under
Sessions's desk and the man with an
ambition to succeed his chief has
asked state house clerks and stenog-
raphers to Hooverize that the kitten
may live in peace and plenty.
The night before the 1914 election,
when Sessions was fighting for the
election of the Republican state
tried to walk, right across Sessions
path. Sessions and Mulvane are
neighbors. But the Sessions idea of
a neighborly spirit did not extend to
the point of permitting a black cat to
cross his path the night before cleo
ton. So he. ran a block with the
friendly Angora picking up space on
him at every jump Then Sessions
threw a paving brick at the cat and
the frightened feline disappeared and
the next day the Republicans regalned
the governorship and the state iegis-
lature and won United States sena-
torship.
Now a stray Maltese kitten has
wandered into Sessions's office and
has found a home under the desk.
There is an old adage that when a
cat comes to visit, it brings good
luck" And Sessions, who is believed
to be seriously nursing governorship
ambition, is willing to fight and bleed
and die for his new pet. Mrs. Virginia
Davis, who bought the cat a bottle of
milk, christened the stray Mascot .

Topeka Chicken Fancier Takes
Many Prize Ribbons.
w. NJ. GOdsey Raises Rare
Barred Plymouth Rocks.
THEY WIN At Big FAIRS
Took Awards at Both Topeka
and Hutchinson.
Careful Selection of Stock a
Secret of Success.

Many Topeka citizens moved by e
passing enthusiasm, or by desire Tor
elusive wealth, have experimeEted
with the raising of chickens-od the
feathered variety. Few, however.
either amateur or professional, have
met with the striking success in pro-
ducing really fine poultry that has re-
warded the efforts of w. NJ. Godsey
of 1858 College avenue.
Ina pen only 81 by so feet, Godsey
has raised Barred Plymouth ROCKS
which have taken the highest honorS
in the poultry shows of Kansas. His
fowls took high awards at the Topeka
Free Fair and the Hutchinson fair
this year. In Topeka they won five
blue ribbons. They captured first
prize for the finest Barred Plymouth
Rock cock, first and second prizes
for the finest hens, first, second and
third prizes for the finest cockcrel.
first and second for the finest pullet,
and first and second for the finest pen
of four hens and one cock.
Winners at Hutchinson.
At the Hutchinson fair, after To-
peka the biggest fair in the state.
Godsey's birds took first. second and
third prizes for cockerels, first, secs
ond and third for pullets, and first
prize for the finest pen. To cap the
climax, in the sweepstakes. in which
all classes of birds are entered, they
took second prize for a female. fourth
prize for male, and second prize for
the pen of five birds.
This record is the more remarka Sle
in that there are probably more
Barred Plymouth Rocks raised in the
state than of any other breed. The
chief factors in producing such excep-
tional results, according to Mr.. Cod
sey. have been observation and care.
Selects Best Stock.
He uses the greatest care to select
those birds which run true to type,
and those having the greatest staining
He uses a special method of feeding
which close study has shown to bring
good results under the conditions in
which he keeps them.
To raise chickens successfully in
wolves only the power to observe and
use common sense, according to Cod
sey. He does not aim to make money,
| but raises them merely for his own
pleasure, and his object is not profit,
/ but the production of the finest pos-
/ sible birds. In this object, judging
| by the results of the present season,
his success has been phenomenal.

the walls of the palace garden, and
after a long, long struggle shot up
from the earth and blossomed and
smiled and gave its fragrance out into
the little garden beside the peasants
cottage.

straying Rose and pressed it to her
breast, and the Roses heart was glad

today, in both gardens, the peasant
and the Kings, this Queen of Roses
