STORM RODE ON A GRIN Tea Merchant at 847 Minnesota Sen-sing a Prank Didn't Try to Avert Calamity That Didn't Befall. Harry A. Moulton sat in a rock ing chair on the sidewalk in front of his tea store at 847 Minnesota last night after the storm enjoying the breeze. A man in an auto came down Minnesota, smiling and headed right toward Mr. Moulton.

Mr. Moulton thought fellow was playing and wouM turn back toward the middle of the street before he hit the curb. But the man in the auto happened to be a farmer from Piper who had just bought a new auto and was making his second trial trip around the block. He wasn't headed toward Mr. Moulton as a joke.

He had lost control of the jib boom and was on his way in spite of himself, and he didn't know where his port would be. The smile on his face was the sample tragedy of a man who was taught in his youth to "grin and bear it." No matter what happened and the peculiar pallor of the farmer's grin was due to the fact that he was trying to grin and -get in shape to accept a. fate before he knew what it was to be. Moulton, relying on the great American tendency to play pranks, didn't i budge except to teeter back and forth in his rocker eyeing the procedure askance but with no interest beyond that of a spectator. When the auto hit the curb it jumped suddenly like a cat, making a home slide for a busy jay bird in the grass and twelve seconds later.

Mr. Moulton sat on the side walk where the Chair had been, and looked around for the auto and the, man with the grin and the chair. About 60 feet down the sidewalk 'he saw the three in a miscellaneous collection from which the farmer emerged in a minute and walked back to the tea store. "Are you hurt," he asked of Moulton, who hadn't yet had time to think he was or not. On inquiry he wasn't.

"Well I'm sorry," said the farmer. "I couldn't help it, i and I had no idea it was going to happen, whatever it was that did happen." He then went back to the auto and disentangling the "Wicker rocker found that It was undamaged in spite of a sudden and trrifio projection through space of 20 yards and the impact of a nineteen hundred pound autor He took the chair back to the tea store and remarked to Mr. Moulton that whatever had occurred nothing had happened and vice versa. 'What's tthe damage?" he asked by way of soliciting leave to depart. "No mbore jokes go.

You are sentenced, to stay on the other side of two streets north or south until you get that car harness broke," said Moulton, as he began to travel back and forth in the breeze via his unhurt willow rocker. Note. Mr. Moulton's new position was one degree land-, ward and abaft a big light wire pole.) WHERE IS H. M.

TAYLOR? Grocer at Fifth and Minnesota Leaves Word That He Won't Be Back. H. M. Taylor, who has been in the grocery business- at Fifth and Min nesota at one location and another in that neighborhood for several years, didn't show at his store at 506 yesterday. When the clerks opened the place they found a note from Mr.

Taylor saying he would not be back. Another note told his brother, H. F. Taylor, where to get money to go to market and explained that he was going to the coast. The brother would not discus the matter today.

Wm. Brunjos, a Greek clerk in tbft place, says he loaned. Taylor $500 a thort time ago, money that Brunjos expected to use to go back home to Sreece on. He says be loaned Taylor $100 before he sold the Alamo restaurant across the street and $400 more 1 iter he went to the store as clerk. Ci K.

i TWO PLANS PROPOSED City May Build Its Own Device or Company Will Build It and Dis. pose of Garbage Collections. Kansas City, is said to be the largest city in the United States with out a garbage system or 1 without a system of collecting and disposing of the garbage, the tin cans, bottles, ba com rindsv stale bread and potato peel ings that people can't eat and which! a good many people dump out in the) alleys or throw in the back yard ta breed flies and smell to high heavenfi or your sleeping room. The agitationi for a system of gar bage disposal has been going on foi two or three years and is one of the problems that the city plaawntnig, commission is asked to investigate and! report on. There is a proposition; now before the city, explained to Mayor Green and Park Martini yesterday by E.

L. Culver, patentee, to collect the garbage off the city and convert it into fuel bricks much like coal. The machinery separates the tin cans and bottles and the rags; from the other refuse. The cans are tripped of solder, thai tin baled and sold for window weights and the solder, piggefl for sale and use again. Creosote and a tar mixture is ground into the other stuff which is moifted into brick form, dried and sold.

The heat units are said to be equal to that of Cherokee coal, torn for ton. The fuel brings about to $6.00 a ton and is said to make the operation! of the plant profitable. Mr. Culver says the garbage of Kansas City, would produce about 100 tons a day. A pliant of 25 eac.

hours or a one unit plant costs 25 to 30 thousand dollars. The city, Mr. Culver says, can build its own plant and operate It or the company vwiil build the plant and handle the gar bage the city collects. WATCH THE DEAD A resolution to be considered by th commissioners tomorrow morning la dicates that real estate interests axe trying to unload another hole) in the ground and a bare hill on thaf crty for park purposes. There have been too many deal of this kind in the past.

The excuM of no money is given for the present unkempt condition of our city parks. The excuse of no money is given to) explain why the streets are full of holes. A raise in the tax levy is already promised. This makes It a poor time for a real estate raid. The city commissioners should stand pat against the proposition.

LOCATE THEVOTERS The figures in today's 'peeper showing that 75 per cent of the population of Kansas City resides on the hills north of the Union Pacific tracks should furnish food for thought for those who still think they can slip over on the franchise proposition. Sixty-eight thousand people count them wll never vote for a franchise that does not give them a depot at some point within their reach. PLAIN TALK.

The Salina Union Tells Why Warden Botkfn Is Being Investigated. "Warden Botkin has been suspended and a commission consisting of one Democrat, one Progressive and three Republicans has been appointed to try charges against him. The pur pose of this Investigation is not-to inquire into the real facts at the ienitentiary, but' to oust Botkin from an office wanted by the Republicans. Botkin is not being evicted, from his office on account of any failure that he has made as a prison administra- tor. He is a better man in the place than the penitentiary has ever had in the past.

The warden is being forced out of office because he went on the stump three years ago and told the truth about the unspeakably filthy business out of which Arthur Capper laid the foundations of the fortune that enabled him to buy the governorship of Kansas," There are three ex-vice presidents of the United States living.

Union, Kansas being one, where tests have been made, it has been demonstrated that the net proceeds from eale of the fish crop from an acre of water was many times greater than from any crop grown on dry land. Then tell me why fill Park Lake with earth.

I offer $5 for a valid answer. It has been said that wise men change, fools never. I respectfully ask our city commissioners that they now rescind the resolution they passed ordering the lake filled with earth and pass another or dering it filled with water and abund-i antly stocked with fish, and at its completioi incelebratihg the even motor boat, Wyandotte," as it floats on the bosom of the new late, they will be duly honorj ed ViefDoxology sujpg, praise God from whom all blessings flow.

THIS IS A NEW DECISION Based on the Theory That it Required Special Fitness to Be Able to Pray Aor the State Ad. What is the test of a good prayer or a good sermon or the- acts of a Good Samaritan? The new Kansas civil service commission, being unable to agree upon what would be a satisfactory test of these things, ruled the chaplains of the various state institutions out of the classified service and the chaplains will now be political appointees to be fired and hired at the pleasured the head of the institution or thej board controlling it. The new civil service law went into effect and Governor Capper named the ciTSl service board. The board had hardly been acting as an official body anore than an hour until' a preacher dropped in and sugested that he would like to take the examination for chaplain of one of the state institutions. The state pays a simall salary to these officials.

The civil service law puts them under the civil service commission. The request of the minister was a "poser" for the board. The members of the board are members of three distinct denominations. Each had dif ferent ideas on! what constituted a good prayer and on what constituted a good sermon and what was really permissable in a sermon. And they found themselves up against a hard proposition as (to the.

hypothetical questions which 'should be submitted to each candidate on what their, ac- tlon would be in, certain cases when an inmate or patient approached ti them. The board discussed making the tests for chaplains at considerable length The law specifies special examinations for particular places and this job was classed as one requiring more or less special fi tness- When the members of the board found they could not agree ow test for a prayer or a sermon or anything else about chaplains, the board simply voted to put chaplains in the exempt class and let the institutions or boards get their chaplains, any way they pleased.
