Every one who comes to Kansas
City from Kansas these days has his
own particular stock of stories to tell
about the wonderful crops in that
State. Among the Sunflower pilgrims
who landed in the city on Saturday
was Charley Barrett, the good-looking
and talkative travelling passenger agent
of the Missouri Pacific. He had spent
four or five days in Southern Kansas,
and his mouth was going at the rate of
500 revolutions & minute about crops,
when he wae flagged by a Times man
on Main street,

Spitting Diamonds,
Hatton Garden (the great diamond
district of London) had quite au une
plessant experience last year, All the
dealers lost a great number of stones,
aud they couldn't understand how
leakage occurred until about Christ-
mas. After sorting and sizing up they
would put the stones in the usual par-
cels with the weight marked. When
whey 90ld the parcels they would find
that the weight had decreased and
that one or two of the stones had van-
ished. Many small dealers, who never
let the stuff go out of their sight and
who had no assistants, suffered as well
as the others, and for months it re-
mained a mystery of the deepest kind,
Everybody was afraid of everybody
else; some quit coming to the diamond
exchange, but whether they came or
not their losses went on just the same.
At last almost by accident the mystery
was solved, and the solution was sim-
ple enough.
There was alsmall dealer who lived
in Clerkenwell. He wore glasses and
professed to be very short sighted.
This gentleman bought sparingly last
year, but he did a tremendous amount
of going around and examining. An
employee of a large Hatton Garden
firm became suspicious of this small
dealer and had a talk with his employ-
ers. The next time the eveglasses
came in, before the safe was opened
and anything handed out, two men
were posted where they could watch
every movement of the visitor. He
opened a paper of stones (about 1 1-4
carat apiece) with ninety-six stones in
the parcel. He put them quite close to
his eves and then lowered them a little,
as if he wanted to damp them.
Damping, it may be stated, is breath-
ing on the stones. Most dealers do
this when examining a parcel, as any
flaws or faults can be better observed
as the moisture evaporates.
After damping them he looked
again, handed them back, made an offer
( which he knew would not be accepted)
The two men
watching had not seen him do any-
thing suspicious, but still he was kept
in conversation while the parcel he had
just handled was taken into the private
office and weighed. It was found
Two of the
had somehow disappeared.
There was a consultation, and it was
decided that he had them in his mouth.
One of the men was instructed to get
stones
This was done, and Mr. Eyeglasses
spit out the two 1 1-4 carat stones.
He was pounced upon, and was given
the choice of restitution of all former
losses or arrest. He chose the former,
and having a large sun in Bank of
England notes in his inside pocket,
he settled the score. He was thea al-
lowed to go.

JERRY KUSK IN BATTLE.
HOW HE CARRIED A CROSSING IN
A STORM OF SHOT AND SHELL.
o———
Jomplimented by General Mower, A
Man who wasn't Easily Bcared.
Uncle Jerry Rusk, now Secretary ot
Agriculture, had his share of experi-
ence during the war. At the battle of
the Twenty-second of July, when the
heroic McPherson fell, Rusk was in
command at the front, and lost one-
third of his men. During the battle
he was once fairly cut off from his
command and surrounded by Con-
federate soldiers armed with sabre
bayonets. His sword was seized, and
he was ordered tc surrender; but,
drawing his pistol, he used it with
such deadly effect that he broke
through his assailants and escaped with
a slight wound in his leg and with the
loss of his sword and horse—the
animal being literally riddled with
bullets.
At the battle of Jonesboro, Colonel
Rusk followed Hood back into Ala-
bama, then returned to Atlanta; and
in Sherman's “march to the sea” he
had the command of the advance of
the Seveteenth corps, having the skir-
mishers, pioneers, engineers and the
pontoon train under his charge. In
the Carclina campaign, from Beaufort
Island north, he was brevetted colonel,
to date from March 13, 1865, and on
the same day he was brevetted briga-
dier-general for his gallantry in the
battle of Salkahatchie, in February
previous. A very exciting occurrence
attended the crossing of that river
General Mower was in command of
the division which was the regiment
The division was moving north from
Beaufort directly toward the river,
while the remainder of the army of
Sherman was converging toward the
same point. Where the crossing had

The only approach to the ford was
along a narrow road through a swamp

too deep to permit the movement of
cavalry or heavy guns. It was a posi-
tion almost as strongly protected and
as difficult to capture as the celebrated
bridge of Lodi.
There was a race among all the
divisions to first reach the crossing,
and on the morning just before the
point was within attacking distance
Mower's division was in the lead, and
the brigade in advance of the division
was that to which Rusk’s command
attached. Mower rode up with
his stafl and could not find the com-

Mower, bowever, would not listen.
He went away, ordered the division
forward and put the other brigade in
the advance.
Later Mower seems to have recalled
the protest. He found the romte to
the cressing an embarrassing one,
whereupon he said to one of his staff
officers, Captain de Grasse: «Dring up
that Colonel who objected te pemain-
ing behind and we'll give him a taste
of what he's vearning for.” Rusk re

Rusk got his command im positien
and charged down the narrow cause-
way that led to the ford, amd swhich
was swept by the shell and musketry
of the enemy.
His suen were cut down im dozens,
but he persevered, and gained the posi-
tien afier a desperate contest. In the
charge a shell cut the brow-band of
the bridle of the colomel’'s horse; the
animal fell to the ground and threw
the rider over his head.
The «colonel scrambled te $e foot,
and although considerably bruised,

in the rear of Rusk’s column, snd they
took cower by leavi the causeway
and taking refuge in swamp, but
found that route impases’le, and were
obliged te dismount and make their
way on foet.

Musical Twin Girls,
The other day there came into my
place of business two prepossessing
young ladies whose similar dress,
forms and features proclaimed them to
be twins. They were followed by two
other young ladies, and a second

Ella Ida and Emma Ada Alton were
born November 9, 1865, in Putnam,
Conn. They were the children of Mr,
and Mrs. Sylvanus Alton. From Put-
nam they moved to New Britain, and
have since lived in Woodstock, South-
bridge and Worcester. Their futher
died while they were vet children, and
and their mother is married to Mr.

Selling a Second-Hand Coat,
A Marietta merchant tells how he
sold a second-hand coat that had been
worn but a few times. He had repeat-
edly tried to sell the cost to different
colored men, but always failed. So
he tried a mew scheme. He got a
cheap pocketbook sad stuffed it gener-
ously with paper and put the book in
one of the pockets of the coat. He
accosted a negro swan and wanted to
sell him the coat. The “colored man”
said he didn’t desine to buy the cesat.
“Yes, but von just try it en. It be-
longs to a man who bas plenty of
money but has no use for the cost”
The negro put the coat om, put his
hands in the pockets, and of course be
felt the pocketbook. Iie eves fairly
dilated with an astonished but pleased
expression. “Boss,” he inquired,
“what do you sax for dis coat?”
“Three dollars and 8fty cents.” «|

air of a man who had just come into

Boomerangs.
More has been written, and less is
understood, of the boomerang than of
almost any other weapon. It is gener.
aily known to be a flut stick of wood
bent in a shape which suggests a com-
bination of & “VV” and a «+ U,” although
with the extremities spread apart anti
they are at right angles with each
other. In point of fact, boomerang:
are of almost every shape from semi-
circular to nearly straight, and seem to |
depend for their efficiency not so much
upon the evident form as upon the
curves which are shown upon their flat
side. The boomerang maker knows
instinctively just where his boomerang
will go when he throws it, although he
never seems to aim any two in the |
same way. More lies have been told |
about the boomerang than can be well |
enumerated. One hears of men who
cat: 80 throw a boomerang that it kills |
an enemy behind a tree and then comes |
cheerfully fluttering back to its owner, i
who thereupon hurls it ou a fresh!
mission of carnage. A flock of fright- |
ened cockatoos, speeding in intricate |
| gyrations through the air to escape the
{ attack of natives who want a bird for |
| dinner, are pursued at every turn by |
these erratic weapons, which strike
them down a dozen each, and so return |
i to the hand that cast them. Old wives’ |
| fables, these, at which Australians |
| laugh. i
The boomerang is sufficiently re. |
markable without being regarded in |
