Allen White: Twenty-seven long and beautiful years ago we once held a joint debate in Prospect school-house, east of ElDorado, with one J. F. Todd, a Populist orator of local fame. He demanded two dollar wheat and seventy-five cent corn. He wanted a law.

We said, "but you have already got a law the law of supply and demand." And he got up and said, "If the law of supply and demand" gives us sixty-Qve cent wheat and twenty cent corn repeal the dad-burned old law of supply and demand." We have told that story many times and oft, never failing to get a laugh. An now Congress has just about decided to repeal it. And when it is evident that the law of supply and demand has been amended and nullified by speculative corners and fake buying and selling, the time haa come to repeal the dad-burned old thing. This a funny world. And the sun do move.

Age Is much wiser than youth, because age knows what has happened. Youth only haa an idea of what can't happen. Carter's If ill Union Suits Topeka, July 27.

National prohibition will be voted on by the senate Wednesday. By unanimous consent it was agreed tonight to take up Monday Senator Sheppard's resolution for a national prohibition amendment and to dispose of it by Wodnesday night. Foes of prohibition consented to the vote in order to clear the resolution from the calendar, transmit it to the house and perhaps shift further agitation on the subject fnom congress to the states. They secured an agreement, however, for the addition of a provision requiring the states to act within six years on the constitutional amendment if submitted to them. The vote in the senate probably will be extremely close.

Acloption would require two-thirds of the senators present. Senator Sheppard predicted an affirmative vote of 65 or 66 votes, just enough to approve the resolution, which would then go to the house, subject to a similar two-thirds vote. Ratification of the amendment would require affirmative action by three-fourths of the forty-eight states. The resolution provides that: "The manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof frpm the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof, for beverage purposes, are hereby prohibited.

Governor Capper, however, is powerless to aid those seeking exemption. The whole matter rests with the boards The county boards consider only the physical condition and fitness of the drafted men, while the two district, or appeal boards, consider the industrial reasons set up by those who seek exemption.

This class of our young men are needed at home, whether they are located on farms, or are wage earners." Probably the most pathetic letter in Governor Capper's mail yesterday came from Mrs. A. G. Schenck, of Altamont. Mr.

and Mrs. Schenck have two sons their only support and both boys have been drawn in the draft. "If there is any way under God's green earth to exempt them, I pray you will do so," the letter says. "Each of the boys is married and one has two little children. Their father says if they take his boys he has nothing: to work for, as those boys are exceptions and are needed on the farm." Mrs.

J. L. Montgomery, of Oswego, tells of this case in Labette county: "We have a neighbor, a life experienced farmer one of the best. He is the only son and only help of an infirm father and mother who are not able to do any hard work on the farm.

He was on his way back to Sheridan, Wyoming, where he will again take a position as engineer. Last September he went to England on a horse transport, and on the return trip in October the vessel on. which he took passage was sunk by a German torpedo off the Irish coast. He was in a life boat thirty-two hours and suffered much from exposure and lack of food and water, but was finally rescued and came home by the first available boat. Several on the boat that was torpedoed were drowned.

Drying diminishes the disagreeable odor. The collector may receive from 2 to 5 cents for the leaves, which are poisonous, cause dilation of the pupil of the eye and also have narcotic, antispasmodic anodyne and diuretic properties.

Reptiles That Are Dangerous Have Diamond-Shaped Heads, Much Longer at Jawbone Than Neck. Poisonous snakes have a diamond-shaped head, about four times larger at the jawbone than at the neck. They also have blunt tails. Nonpnisonous snakes have sharp heads, which are nearly the same size at the neck, and sharp tails.

All snakes, however, are poisonous during the "shedding" period of seven days. They go blind two days before shedding. The Gila (pronounced heela) monster is so called on account of being found near the Gila river in Arizona and New Mexico, says the World-Wide Magazine." Its bite is deadly, and it is much feared by the Indians, as no remedy is known for the bite. They are very peculiar creatures, having the shape of a large lizard, with feet marked like those of a monkey. Some scientists say that the bite of the Gila monster is not poisonous in Itself, but that their breath, blown on the wound, is fatal.

If their breath is blown on a person with a weak heart the person will faint away for an indefinite time. In 'captivity the Gila monster is fed on warm milk and chopped meat every six weeks. -eral Funston carried a 45-callber pistol that extended from his waist to his knee not a long way, at that.

One day a painter said "To be economical we must stop paints and colors. "Here," he said to a lady sitting in the sun, "let me draw you in black and save colors," and he drew her profile as it cast a shadow against his panel. "There," he said.

All fat cheeses are said to be dissolved and digested with great rapidity, because of the molecules of the casein the nitrogenous part of the cheese are separated only by the fat, and so the gastric juice can attack a large surface of the cheese at one time. Whether the cheese be hard or soft does not appear to influence digestion, and there; is no connection between the digestibility and the percentage of water present in the cheese.
