Police declared both Baker and Miss Wade admitted the attack and implicated Mrs. Rowan as the insti- gator It was Mrs. Rowan. the of fcers were told. who brought the couple to the camp late Saturday night and then summoned Fullmer by telephone.

Johnson SalO No Good
Qualities in Merchant

Doctor johnson was bitterly pref.
udiced against all merchants, says the
Market for Exchange. His famous
biographer, Boswell, once asked him
what was the reason for his anger ut
the trader who achieved Opulence, and
johnson replied:
why, sir, the reason is, though do
not undertake to prove that Is a rea-
son, We see no qualities In trade that
should entftle such man to superb
GRITTY. We are not angry at a soldiers
getting riches, because we see that he
possesses qualities which we have not
If man returns from battle, having
lost one hand, with the other full Of
gold, we feel that he deserves the gold,
but We cannot think that a fellow sit
ting all day at desk is entitled to
get above u.s."
But" replied Boswell, may we not
suppose a merchant to be man Of an
enlarged mind, such as Addison in the
Spectator describes Sir Andrew Free
port to have been?'
"Why. sir" quoth Johnson, I'VE may
suppose any fictitious character. We
may suppose philosophical day la
borer, who is happy in rejecting that,
by his labor, he contributes to the fer
tility Of the earth and the support of
his fellow creatures but we find no
such philosophical day labOrer. A
merchant may, perhaps. be a man of
an enlarged mind, but there is nothing
In trade connected with a large mind"

Work on Odd Railroad
Cured His DYSPEPSIA

Sylvester Marsh. son of a New
Hampshire farmer. was made the butt
IF many gibes when he proposed the
Idea Of building a railroad to the sum-
nit Of Mount Washington. but he &C.
complished the project and it has been
called the most astonishing engineer
ing feat that marked the early days
Of the Boston & Maine system.
The inventor was called Crazy
Marsh" and his proposed feat was
designated "a railroad to the MOON"
writer In the Boston Post recalls.
But despite the public ridicule and op-
position he built the first railway Of
It's kind in the world. The formal
opening of the road to point known
as Jacobs Ladder" took place August
ID, 1858, and on July 3, 1869. the road
was completed to the summit. with
trains running.
Marsh once testified before a senate
committee that he built the road to
cure a ease of dyspepsia. He had re-
tired. and after a few years Of idle
ness dyspepsia forced him to do
something to save his health. He got
the unique railroad idea and worked
it out. 1t cured his illness.

The Dollar Tip

said in his excellent English at din
her in San Francisco:
France gets a lot of advice about
how to restore the franc, how to pay
her debts and so on, but this advice
isn't as valuable as 1t pretends to be.
1t reminds me, in fact, Of Kansas
farmer.
"Them city bunco steerers had
oughter be shot, said a Kansas
farmer.
"Yep? How So? said the keeper
of the general store.
"I seen an ad in the paper the
farmer answered., what said that If
you'd send in a dollar they'd tell
you how to make butter out of grass;
so sent my dollar in, and they wrote
back and says, 'Arter you get the grass
ready they says, feed it into COW,
they says, and churn the milk"

Phenomenon IN Sky

On a cloudy morning recently, when
frost filed the, air, Mcpherson, Kan.
sas, witnessed an extraordinary phe-
nomenon. A peculiar deep pink hue
suddenly appeared in the heavens and
was reflected on buildings and the
ground, like the glow of strong
fire. Through the glow electric lights
turned to a greenish color. The phe-
nomenon lasted less than five minutes.
Prof. H. n. Nininger and DR.. H.
J. Harnly of the biology department
of Mcpherson college expressed the
opinion that an especially brilliant
sunrise breaking through low, thin
clouds was reflected on the fine frost
in the air, causing the pink tint. But
they could not account for the green
ish tint of the electric lights.--New
York Herald.

Queer Dance of Birds

1t is said that sailors visiting the
island of Laysan, in the Hawaiian
group, are greatly amused by the curl
GUS antics of the Laysan albatross, or
gony. These birds sometimes perform.
in pairs, kind of dance or as the
sailors call it, "cakewalk." Two alba
trosses approach each othe., nodding
and making profound bows, cross their
bills, produce swapping and grooming
sounds, rise on their toes, puff out
their breasts and firally part with
more nodding and bowling, only to
come together again and repeat the
performance. Occasionally three en-
gage at once in this singular amuse-
ment. The spectators are always i'm
pressed with the extreme "politeness"
Of the birds.

Third Year as Crucial
Test of Married Life

The presiding judge of the Domesti"
Relations court in New York recently
summed up his experiences in an cpl
gram to the effect that "the first year
Of married life is the hardest"
His conclusion is challenged by
Eleanor Blake, writing in the Wom-
ans Home Companion, who declares
that ''the dreadful third year" is the
crucial test of married life.
II zee nothing in all this talk about
the trials of the first year Of mar
riage," she says, "save conspiracy
on the part of the brides to call at
tention to themselves. In general,
this first year is year of delicious
adventure.
with the beginning of the second
year milestone has been passed.
Somehow she and John are really mar
ried, and she has settled down into
happy routine of getting meals, Of
keeping the house bright and fresh,
and perhaps of preparing for another
small life that is coming.
Then the third year creeps on her
almost before she knows it. The baby
is there, baby who is healthy and
happy as only the most sensible of
mothers, following a wise routine, can
make him. He is the incest sort Of
baby to have around the house, but
that is just one of the reasons why
his mother is apt to wake up some
morning with the dreadful realization
that another scheduled day of activi-
ty is before her-a day of meal plan
ming and meal preparation, baths,
maps, an airing with Junior, another
meal, marketing, rest and another
meal"
1t is the "hated round Of routine"
which Miss Blake finds the most seri-
GUS crisis in married life, and for
which she proposes as remedy an ex-
pertinent with schedules designed TO
simplify routine
The wise old judge, it appears,
reached his conclusions mainly from
experiments with marital shipwrecks,
while Miss Blake is discussing the
much more important classification of
normal marriages.

Cow's Long Journey

Dogs and cats often refuse to rec
ognize their transfer from one owner
to another, returning again and again
to their old homes Now and then a
cow will do the same thing.
Recently a farmer near Conway. in
North Wales, sold his COW into Den
bighshire. Next morning she was
found in her old home, waiting to be
MIXED.
She must have crossed Conway
river, walked through Conway town,
and leaped a four-foOt wall to get
there.
