A Colerado Wonder.
8. M. Hardy, of Hardy's Ranch, Wal
lace county, Kan., while en n recent
hunting trip in Kansas and Colerado '
wiui n menu, went te me rancu ei
Charles Kirls, nbeut five miles southwest
of Oiennda, Cole., beside n deep gulch,
where away down flews a tributary te
thu Arkansas river. Kirh readily gave
them shelter for the night, remarking
that it was seldom that guests ever called
In thnt lonely place. He told them also
that seven years befere this he had lived
en the I'ccea river, nt the foetof n moun
tain spur, herding cattle, and ene day a
large iK-ar entered the chicken jcoep nnd
bis wife run te tlie rescue. She get such
n fright that she was sick for several
month, and then they moved te (heir
present home. Mrs. Kirls gave birth te
n child shortly after, which wns never
known te have been seen by nny one.
The v itdterx heard strange noises which
seemed te emanate from n closed closet.
They nlse heard Mrs. Kirls singing and
asked Kills if he had nnychildr a. He
then said: "I will show you a curiosity,
but you must never brcathe It." He
then showed them n child three feet
high, weighing forty pounds nnd n com cem
iKiund of human being, bear nud chicken.
Its head was like that of n bear, but its
e en were theso of a human and its cars
vvcruu combination of human nnd bear,
ns were its mouth nnd chin. There was
u full growth of soft hair ever the face,
head und neck. In place of arms it had
feathered wings. The mother loves it
dearly, nnd will net permit it te be ex
hibited. Kansas City Times.
Tlie Captain' l'rnyer.
Capt. Van Ettcn is nothing if net sen
national. His trip te Bismarck overland
en u lectin e tour attracted the attention
of the entlre country and his vete upon
all measures is given with a thunderclap
spontaneity that arouses the surrounding
country for miles. The captain did net
go te (Irand Ferks. While the majority
of the Dakota legislators went whirling
away te the Red River valley he and a
niniiltoref the ether hard working mom mem mom
bem lemalued in Itismnrck nnd en Satur
day held n session which was made
meuiornble in many ways. Among
events of the day was Capt. Van Ettcn's
prayer (the efllcial chaplain being ab
sent), wlilch comes te us ns follews:
"O Ixird, bless this house. Of ceurscy
ni can lx seen by careful oherTatlen,1
there nre net many of us here, the ma
jority having geno en a junketing iq
(iinud Ferks. O Lord, thou knewest
their motives in going. If it is in the)
best Interests of tlie country (which
seems very doubtful) thou wilt bless
them, but if it is for the pleasures of
thij world, de witli them what wernesb
best. O Lord, save us nil nt last--junketers
nnd nil, if possible." J
This may net be n verbatim report of
the earnest captain's prayer, but it Is as)
tlie words nre reported te us. Tlie cap-1
tain wins the palm. Bismarck (D, T.J

Japan' National Flower.
It is rather n shock te admirers of
cluvsanthemum3 te be told that in Dal
mati.i these beautiful flowers nre grown
te be converted Inte insect powder. The
connection between the lovely combina
tions of delicate color and shupe is diffi
cult te imagine, but since we nre relia
bly informed that n powder ' made
f i ein them which lulls all sorts of diso dise diso
giceable entomological specimens off
baud, we must accept the fact, even
though we abhor the idea. The effective
ness of thu chrysanthemum in driving
out or destroying insects may be the
le.isen thnt it lias been chosen as the
national Mower of Jjipan. If nil reports
nie true, the gie.itest domestic trouble treuble treuble
the Japanese have- Is in keeping their
dwellingH free from the many legged
atoms that make life hardly worth (he
living. It is only natural, then, that
they should honor the plant that is of
biichgieat bcrvicc te them in tills re
spect. As for us, ve will use ether
means te control the small intruders.
We will apply I'm is green te our potato
hugs nnd lcul our leaches en "leugh en
i.its." We need eurchiysaiithemums in
our imiluis mid cuiinviv atones, und in
their case, nt le.ibt, cannot nliuid te
saci illce hcnul) fur meiu commonplace
utility. l'lltebmg Bulletin.
