Ills fondness for upholding tho virtues of tho pooplo of tho west was illustrated by many of these Ono of the stories Justico Brewer was so fond of telling was need by him to show high regard for tho law In Kansas. Justico Browcr related that a Justico 'of tho peace owned a farm In Kansas that bordered on Missouri. One day tho Justico was sitting on n fence, built directly on tho state line, superintend ing some work his son and a farm hand were doing. The son and his "GENTLEMEN, I COMMAND TOU TO PESI8T." companion engaged In a dispute which ended In a fist fight Tbo Justice of the peace, Justice Brewer would ex plain, watched tho encounter for a few minutes and then shouted in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, In tho name of the law of tho state of Kansas and by virtue of my authority I command you to desist" "Just then tho rail broke," continued Justice Brewer, "and tho Justico of tho peace landed In Missouri. Arising to bis feet, he exclaimed: " 'Give him fits, son. I havo lost my Jurisdiction!' "Kansas City Journal. Rather Previous. Mayor Lyons of Mobile said In a re cent Interview: "No; I cannot pronounce Judgment on this question yet Do you talco mo for Judge Taliaferro? "Judge Taliaferro," the mayor ex plained with u smile, "was holding court back before the war In the little courthouse of Cltronelle. It was a cloudy spring afternoon, and a very difficult and puzzling case waB on. The lawyers wrangled, quoted from great lawbooks and broke Into grand flights of eloquence, while Judge Taliaferro listened solemnly or gazed out of tbo window at tho approaching storm. "It grew darker. The Judge snatch ed a sheet of paper, scribbled a lino or two upon it and, placing It beneath a paperweight, took up hla hat " 'Colonel,' ho said briskly to tbo law yer who had the lloor, 'excuse me fo' lnterruptln' yuh, sub, an' I want that yuh should go right on with yuh argu ment fo' It's a good one, but It's suab goin' to rain this evenln', colonel, an' I just natcherly got to set out my sweet potatoes right away. But yuh go right on, colonel, an', majah, yuh follow him up, an' when yuh two gentlemen get through yuh'll find my decision under this heah weight.' "And the Judge disappeared through tho door before tho lawyers had time to exchange ono astonished glance." "Washington Star. A Polite Englishman. "Doc" Linn tells of an Englishman whom he knew in the early Kansas days who had come over from the British isles and had brought with him nil of the mannerisms, like "doncher know." "beg pardon," etc. The Eng- llshman was cured of his "doncher know" by a cowboy whom he thus ad dressed, "1 'ave the finest 'orse in the world, doncher know." "No, blankcty blank," replied tho cowboy, "I don't know It, and I don't want you to set up a claim again that I do." Some tiino later "Doe" was driving with the Englishman behind an ox team. John Bull was having a stren uous time with tho oxen, but be work cd hard. "Gee, now, Jerry,"- ho sang out. But quickly he added: "Beg pardon, beg pardon. I ineau 'haw.' " "Doc" tells that when that story got around it helped to cut down the num ber of times that the Englishman used "beg pardon."

How a Little Work May Do Away With Going to Law, Thought spent on the drnliiiigc of tho front yard reaps many returns. If you are on the same grmlu ns your neighbors you arc entitled, according to law, to allow nil water that natural ly flows that way lo run over on your neighbors, but in actual practice it does not pay, as thero arc always dis putes ns to whether it naturally runs over on them. On this account it is ndvlsablo that you build into tho ynrd your own inlets In order to take away all your own surface water. It Is to be presumed that your houso water pipes from tho roof all lead Into tho sower nnd that tho sower runs out to tho street through your own yard. This being tho case, set small copper inlets In tho walks at thirty foot dis tances leading to term cotta pipes which empty Into the sewer. At Intervals over the yam about thirty foot centers set Inlets of gal vanized iron, square In shape, nt a height that will bo flush with your sod when the ynrd is settled. Allow two inches for this, although In three or four years there generally has to be a shortening of the terra cotta pipes to fit the shrinkage an easy Job. These Inlets should be so set that they will catch the storm water from extra heavy rains. There can bo no rule given about It. An engineer can give you the exact spot. for each, but an In telligent gardener can also do It, Study the lay of the land and decide how tho water will run, nnd lit tho point, such ns a corner, whero it will meet with sonic obstacle to dam It back set an inlet. Ordinarily there need bo no outlet to the drainage In the beds and borders, but in a yard more than two feet higher on one side than tho other in a fifty foot lot the trench at tho lower side should have an inlet set in the front (lower) end. connected with tho sewer, or there will be trouble to grow fine plants there. Flants will stand all kinds of neglect, but none but aquatics will stnnd "wet feet." Delineator For May. PRESERVING FLOWERS. How to Keep Them Crisp and In Good Color With Little Trouble. Long stemmed and fresh, the flowers are laid upon waxed paper that will prevent evaporation of the vital es sence, or sap, which Is the life, and In closed In a box with a close cover. Thus conveyed to a friend, lover or In valid they hold color and crispness. If you would keep them yet longer that they may grnce some special "oc casion" lit on the cover without dis turbing the contents of, the box and put the flowers away in a dark, cool place to await the moment of display. Before arranging them in a vase or bowl of water clip tho ends of tho stems to encourage capillary attrac tion. "Water Is not sap, but It will lengthen plant life. A bit of charcoal in the bottom of tho vase is a sanitary measure; also the admixture of a tea spoonful of ammonia in a pint of wn ter. Clip the stems dally whllo the flowers last. How to Wash Corsets. To wash corsets first rip tho front scam on both sides and take out the steels. Then dissolve some soap Jelly, made by shredding half a pound of the best yellow soap in n quart of boiling wnter and simmering until dissolved in warm wnter.

Then spread them on board and brush thoroughly with n well soaped nailbrush, dlpplug them occasionally into tho suds to remove tho loosened dirt. When clean, rinse through two lots of warm water and hang up to drip dry. When almost dry iron on tho Inside with a warm flatlrou and after thorough airing re place the front steels and sew them firmly In. If tills is carefully done the corsets will emerge from the wnshtub as good as new. How to Wash Irish Crochet.

MIchenor, say? on this subject: "Among the bent worm medicines may bo mentioned pantonine, turpentine, tnrtnr emetic, infusion of tobacco and bitter tonics. To destroy tnpeworms arlcanut, male fern nnd pumpkin seed aro tho best. If n horse Is passing the long, round worms, for Instance, the plan of treat ment is to give twice dally for three or four days n drench composed of tur pentine, one ounco, nnd linseed oil two or thrco ounces, to be followed on tho fourth day by Barbados aloes, one ounce. If the plnworms aro prcaont the onea thnt Infest tho larger bowels Injections Into tho rectum of infu sions of tobacco, infusion of quassia chips, one-half pound to n gallon of water, onco or twice dally for a few days and followed by a physic, are most beneficial. It should bo remembered that In testinal worms nrc mostly In nnitnnls that aro in poor condition, nnd an es sential part of nil good treatment is to improve the appetite nnd powers of digestion. This Is best done by giving the vegetable tonics. One-half ounce of Peruvian bark, gentian, ginger, quassia, etc., is to bo given twice a lay in the feed or ns a drench. Uu- ess some such medicines and good food nnd pure wnter are given to tone up the digestive organs tho worms will rapidly accumulate again, even though they may have been expelled by the worm medicines proper." Home and Farm. Feeding the Chicks. For the first few days the chicks nro fed on dry bread or oatmeal, with some grit nnd charcoal, writes an Iowa poultrymnn In the Western Poultry Journal. After that we begin to feed tho prepared chick feed. This Is fed In the morning and is thrown Into the chaff. After tho middle of the fore noon we feed chop made from ground oats and corn mixed with bran, equal parts. This is moistened with milk or wator, but very, very slightly. At noon comes the chick feed, In the mid dle of the afternoon the chop and in the evening the chick feed again. Grit or sand and charcoal aro always ac cessible. Some kind of animal food Is also provided. We find milk is good or Dutch cheese. Fresh beef or beef scraps are also used mixed with tho chop. Of course hard boiled eggs are always very good feed for chicks of all ages. Then there must also be fed some green stuff, and before things grow In tho spring cabbage is the best and most available. Horse Notes. During the first days of plowing the collnrs should bo raised often to cool the shoulders. Bathing the shoulders with plenty of cold water after the day's work will help to harden them. Go slow the first days of plowing. It will make a gain in the end. A soft, fat horse will shrink during tlK first days of hard work, so look will to the fit of the collar. A collar 111 fitting and a little too large may cause sweeny, and your valuable horse may be ruined. Always remove the harness at tho noon hour nnd dry the collars. Clean tho team after work and be fore bedtime. They will do a bigger day's work on tho morrow with less loss of condi tion. Don't let the work team mn down. It Is money lost Farm Jour nal. Cause of Stringy Milk. Stringy or sticky milk Is due to an Infection of the udder nnd is" quite dif ficult to overcome. Keep the cow In tho barn where It will bo convenient to milk her often. Bathe the udder two or three times a day with water that is as warm ns tho cow can stnnd and milk the udder dry. In fact, she should bo milked dry six or eight times a day in order to free tho udder from tho infection. Udder troubles are very difficult to treat, and probably tho very best treat ment Is to rub tho udder with hot water nnd keep nil accumulations of Infected milk removed often nnd completely. Hugh G. Van Pelt In Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Tonic For Sheep. A mixture of copperas, sulphur and salt makes n good tonic for sheep, one which mauy no doubt will need at this season of Uio year, Buys tho Kansas Farmer. It tends to purify tho blood und help tho nnlmnl in its fight against worms nnd other troublcsomo para sites. About six parts of salt to one each of copperas or sulphur make the right proportion. . If this Is kept constantly beforo the sheep Insldo the barn, whero the moisture cannot reach It, they will cat freely of It and will undoubtedly bo greatly benefited by It. Old Way Not Profitable. It does not seem necessary at this late day to urge tho necessity of a silo en tlw dairy farm, yet thero aro many farms without a silo, tltolr owners pre ferring to go along In the old way, feeding their cows timothy hay and western grain feeds. It is Dot etrnngo that dairying Is unprofitable even nt this tltno of high prices for both but ter and cheese.

It is nothing mora or less thnn deciding tho vnluo of rare china or glass ware broken by careless serv ants or packing houses. "It requires a lot of diplomacy, too," ho said, with a laugh. "Not bo very long ago I was called In to arbitrate between un Irate householder and one of the big moving firms. Sho snld with eobs that the movers had broken a pair of vases which she valued nt $100. The movers, although willing to mnko restitution, considered tho sum exor bitant. Well, I looked nt tho pieces and found tho vnluo about $25. I told tho woman so quietly. 'I know that sho sobbed, 'but they belonged to my mother-ln-lnw, nnd my husband will think I mndo the men do It purposely unless I get a lot for them.' "And It was not until tho men hnd promised to prove they had done It nccldcntnlly that the lady was content to accept the $23." Philadelphia Times. Too Much For Hor. "The newest laws of hygiene," said a medlcnl man, "can't be Inculcated save among those who thoroughly un derstand them. Take the caso of Dash. "Dash, a rich couutry scientist, de cided to encourage cremation among the villagers. So when tho old ash man died Dash urged his widow to have the corpse cremated. "'No, sir,' said tho old woman, 'I'll not cremate him. I'll put him under tho sod.' " 'But the cremation won't cost you a cent.' said Dash. 'I'll pay all tho expenses if you'll let me hnvo him cre mated.' " 'Well, I agree,' said the old woman In a hesitating voice. 'I'm too poor not to ngree, sir.' Then she gave Dash a puzzled look, half of pity, half of contempt. " 'But why do you do It, sir? she said. 'Is it n hobby like golf or stamp collectln'?' "Washington Star. The Author's Grievance. Tho magazine editor looked up. "I want to protest, sir," said the caller, "against tho way in which one of your reckless proofreaders man gled my copy. See here. Tho Judge In tho story looks down at the detec tive. 'Are you Pendleton King?' he asks, and tho detective, removing his beard, replies, 'I am,' Now, Just see what your proofreader made him say." The editor glanced at the line and read It aloud: "Tho detective, removing his beard, replies, '1 a. m.' " The unhappy author groaned. "Where does that leave tho readers?" he demanded. Tho editor slowly smiled. "At 1 a. m. they aro naturally left In tho dark," ho replied. "Tako an extra chapter and get them out of It" The author suddenly laughed. "Ilnppy thought!" he cried. "I will." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Why They Smiled. It was the Sabbath day, and the eld er was shaving himself prior to church time when ho made a slight cut with the razor on the extreme end of his nose. Calling his wife, ho asked her If sho had any court plaster. "You will find some In my sewing basket," she said. Tho elder soon had the cut covered. At church In assisting with the collec tion he noticed every ono smile ns he passed the plate. Very much annoy ed, he asked oue of his assistants If thero was anything wrong with his appearance. "I should say there was," answered the assistant. "What is that upon your nose?" "Court plaster." "No," said his friend; "it is tho Inbel from n reel of cotton. It says, 'War ranted 200 yards.' "Pearson's. Circus In Paris Streets. Writing of street llfo In Paris, WU- helm Feldmann says In tho Welt Spie gel that the unique features are tho gymnastic and acrobatic performances which one sees there. Wherever traf fic will permit ono may expect to see the street acrobats, men, women nnd children, spread their carpet, erect their apparatus and, to the nccompa nlmeut of a few instruments, some times only n drum, give their perform ances.

Pit ti nn .nn i tin on nP 5 V The Plain Brother 5i mi na mi" nn mi nfi There was wlstfulncss In Frank Roberts' face ns ho watched tho two approaching. The tall, stalwart fol low wn his younger brother Jamos, and his pretty companion was Eva Llttlcflold. "Wo'ro going beech nutting," called out Eva, gnyly. "Don't you want to Join us?" "Yes, como along, Frank," said his brother. But Frank declined, forcing him solf to ndd, with n smllo, that ho ex pected to bo very busy all day. They went away happily, it seemed to him, and he watched them until the bend of the road hid them from view. Then he threw himself down under tho tree, nnd for a few moments dry sobs shook his frame. Neither of tho two who had Just left him dreamed that thero was a grief in his heart which was growing deeper day by day, he told hlraBolf with relief. And he would nlways keop It from them. Frank had known Eva Llttlcflold all his life. They had been playmates as children nnd had nlways gone to the samo school. There had never been a tlmo thnt ho had not worship ped charming little Evn. They had been such good comrades until James had returnod from college. Then everything began to be different. But It was no great wonder, he would often tell himself. James was a splen did looking chap, while he was well aware that he was plain and awkward. His brother had been graduated from college with high honors, while he had only finished the grammar school. Ho had never been clever like .Inmes. All he had been able to do all his life, ho reflected somewhat bitterly, had been to look after the farm. But his mother could have told Just how much that had meant to them the last few years. When things had looked the darkest and It seemed as If the broth er at College would not be able to finish. Frank hnd tnken extra work upon his shoulders, hardly allowing himself any rest until their bridge of difficulty had been crossed. Now, everything was going along smoothly, he mused. The balance of the mort gage on the old place had been paid, James was soon to start In practicing medicine in n neighboring village, and without doubt, he and Eva would be married inside of a year. He was not really needed any longer. It would bo a good Idea to go to the city, for, of course, he would be able to find work there. His mother could live with James and Eva when they were married. Yes, he would go at once, and he would tell her first what he intended to do. That evening he sought out his mother and unfolded to her his new plan, trying to force some enthusiasm Into his voice, but It was well nigh useless. When he had finished she throw herself Into his arms and burst Into tears. Frank was surprised and pained at his mother's sorrow. He had not Imagined that she would care like this. "D-don't go. Frank," sho sobbod. "I can't get along without you." "But you would have James, moth er, he said soothingly. I know I should have him, and I think tho world of him, of course, but somehow he isn't you, Frank. You and I have been through so much to gether. What should I do without you, my boy?" Jt did Frank worlds of good to hear this. His mother cared for him if no ono else did. "When James and Eva aro married, mother, you can live with them." For nn Instant she looked nt him, astonished. "I Bee how It Is, Frank," sho said. Sho smiled through tears, "But you hnvo been blind. It Is not James at all. It is some one else Eva cares for. If I were you, Frank. I should find out who It Is." Frank's face was radiant with joy. He patted his mother's cheek lovingly. "I'll go over this very evening and Hnd out, littlo mother." ho said. Tho young mnn lost no tlmo In set ting out for the Littleflelds' home. At first his courage was at its highest point, but after he had reached his destination and rung tho bell he found that ho was weakening. "What If mother Is mistaken and she doesn't care for me," he said to himself. A moment later Eva answer ed his summons. Thero was a visible embarrassment In her manner. It could only mean one thing, he decided. She had probably promised to marry James, and was wondering now how to break the news to him. He sud denly resolved not to tell her of his lovo. He would Instead- Inform her of his new plan. "I'm going away, Eva," he began without any preliminaries whatever. Tho girl turned as white as tho gown sho wore and she tried to speak, but in vain. A groat hope camo to Frank as he saw her agitation, nnd ho chlded him self for wounding her. "When are you going, Frank?" she asked brokenly. "We shall all miss you so." "But you will havo James and" "As If James could take your place. Frank" She stopped abruptly, a deep crim son dyolng her cheeks. Then Frank know that his mother had been right niter alL "I'vo always loved you, Eva," he said, "and I was going away confident that you didn't care. "But If you'll ouly lovo mo, dear, why I won't go." The girt lifted an ecstatia faco to his. "Then don't go, Frank," Bhe mur morod shyly. MRS. ANBTRI8S A. NICHOLS. APPENDICITIS.
