ITS HELP TO A KANSAS TOWN
Hiawatha Prospering In Face of Evi
dent Disadvartcges Haw Public
Spirit and Consistent Civis Improve
ment Rescued It From Lethargy.
Tbe merchants of Iliiinutha, Kan.,
have taken up the "gliiser club" Idea
Started by Kansas City business men.
Those In each Mock will form a cluh,
and each will try to outdo the other In
improvements. The clubs wi'.l work
with tbe Civic Improvement club to
beautify Hiawatha this summer. The
first cluh to orgaulze Is called the Five
Hundred Block Oregon Street Improve
ment cluh. The oGieere are:
W. O. Noble, president; 11. I). Ad
ams, treasurer, and P. M. Smith, secre
tary. The officers form the executive com
mittee, with full power to spend mon
ey for necessary improvements. This
club is formed in the smallest busi
ness block la town. Every business
man and woman lu the block is a mem
ber of the club. They have subscribed
$50 monthly for improvements, says
the Kansas City Star. Electric lights
have been placed every tweuty-five feet
along the block, aud the lights are kept
burning all night Tbe buildings in
the block will be painted a uniform
color. Lights will be placed In the
alleys and kept burning nil night as a
protection to property.
The club has made a special sprin
kling contract for this summer, and
the streets are swept each day. As
the streets are not paved the club has
induced the city council to put la a ce
ment crossing lu the middle of the
block, and property cwuers have
agreed to put cement walks in the al
leys. The clubs in the other business
blocks will work along similar lines.
A civic improvement club bus been
in existence in Hiawatha for several
years. It has done much to beautify
the town. Work for this summer has
already commenced, and the residents
are taking hold with new vigor. The
members of the Improvement club
have adopted the slogan, "Make Hia
watha a beautiful and spotless town."
The members of the club plant and
tend Cower beds in the city park,
which faces the main business block.
The park will be struug with electric
lights this summer. The Improvement
club will tarn a vacant lot near the
center of the town into a children's
flower garden.
Each year the club offers prizes for
the best kept yards, churchyards and
school yards, for the best garden plant
ed and tended by a child, for the best
garden planted and tended by a man
over sixty years old. for the best look
ing yard kept in order by a woman
and for the best Cower gardens.
Those who are too poor to buy flower
seeds and there are few of them are
furnished with seeds by the club. In
the fall a flower show is held, at which
the prizes are awarded. The business
men and others pay the expenses of
the club, and the officers give their
services. The city council and the
board of county commissioners appro
priate money toward the support of the
club.
The city administration is in hearty
sympathy with the town improvement
movement An ordinance, has been
passed fixing a Cne for any person
found guilty of Fpitting on any side
walk or crossing in the city. After
each rain the dirt streets are dragged
at the city's expense, and a movement
has been started to pave the streets in
the business section. City employees
cut the we?ds aloug the street, and
when weeds are not cut in vacant lots
the city officials promise to see that
it is done at the expense of the prop
erty owner.
Each Wednesday evening during this
summer concerts will be given in the
city park. The concerts have been
given each summer for nearly twenty
years. The baud is paid by the busi
ness men and other residents. Tbe city
council coutributes each year to the
support of the band. In all the band
receives nearly fl.OOO a year for ex
penses. Tbe members are not paid sal
aries. Tbe money put iuto civic improve
ment has been well spent There are
no big industries in Hiawatha to em
ploy a large number of men; the town
is Just dependent upon the surrounding
country. A few years ago Missouri
Pacific division headquarters were lo
cated there, but were later moved to
Atchison. When the railroad families
left, many houses were left vtcant,
rents went down, and the value of real
estate decreased. The pessimistic said
the town would never recover. The
others kept quiet aud worked for city
Improvement. The work of beautifying
the town has brought results.
Hiawatha has grown larger than
ever. There are no vacant houses;
newcomers either have to buy or build.
A water system and sewer system ex
tend over the entire town. The city
electric light plant furnishes power for
lights on street corners. City property
is higher than ever before.
This has all been caused by the eiti
eens making a united effort for town
betterment
There is not a joint or gambling hall
In tbe town.

THE POULTRY SNEAK THIEF.
The weasel as a sneak thief aud
softly stealing assassin is bcyoud de
scription.
Mletitly puling like a serpent, he
slips through an inch opening, bounds
on his harmless victim, sucks Its blood
aud wantonly cuts the throat of every
fowl. The beautiful thrush, nestling Its
young or 011 leafy brauch caroling to
its Maker, is suddenly seized and its
trilling throat pierced by the fangs of
tbe murderer.
His technical name, putorlus, from
"putor." "lad smell." Is appropriate.

from all the oieuings in his retreat
seemingly at once, sways from side to
side, like the cobra, ready to strike.

The Des Moines Dally News runs at
the top of its first page the significant
words: "Once a Booster, Always a

THE Mt'CDEiiEIt l UNASKED.
Above are the fearful jaws and
serpent fangs that cut the throats
of eighty chickens in one night. The
skin is drawn back to unmask the
murderous killing weapons aud to dis
play, the Intricate network of muscles
that work the powerful Jaws, which
make the weasel the most dreaded
enemy of the Kiultry keeper. Though
he weighs from five to eight ounces
aud is from six to ten Inches in length.
yet this little sausage shaped creature
is much feared and formidable. He has
been known to kiil the eagle and attack
a five prong buck.
On Jan. li last a miner was ter
ribly lacerated and bitten by a weasel
at Bear Valley shaft, Shamokin, Ta.
in the darkness the weasel seemed
master, but miners, hearing the cries
of distress, rescued their companion
and killed the weasel with drills and
shovels. This animal has been known
to kill six full grown hens, twenty tur-
fceys and eighty chickens in three
nights. His victims are not disfigured.
He bleeds a rabbit between the eye and
ear, but has been known to chase one
into a stone feace and open an artery
in tlie Ulna leg.
He will clean (he rats and mice out
of a barn and bleed them the same
way. '
He bites old chickens In the arteries
of the neck close to the head. Young
chickens, pigeons and wild birds are
caught back of the neck and sucked
dry. If wounded, he will suicide by
sucking his own blood.
A nunter followed a weasel for
tweuty-five miles, the little animal
stopping to kill only eight rabbits dur
ing the race. At times he would dis
appear and travel UDdc'r the snow for
fifty feet In this way he kills many
quail that seek shelter under wind
falls, the farmers In the spring re
porting them frozen by the hard winter
weather.
In one night a hunter trapped a dark

are dark and light brown, dark and

are rare. The weasel wears white in

Anaesthetics Known In Middla Ages.
Lecturing before the Association of
Surgeons of Munich on narcotics Pro
fessor Kletu said that tbe process ot
reducing the sensibilities of patient
with a view to making operations pain
less was known aud practiced la tbo
middle) ages. Bishop Theodoras of
Chervlra wrote a prescription for a
pain destroyer In the twelfth century
which contained opium, morphine and
byascum. A medical work printed lu
14tS0 contains the first kuown treatise
on inhalation, and we now inject tinder

It was a sapphire that led the late
Dr. Sorby to the discovery of the na

gem In question contained a tube shaHd
cavity a quarter of au luch in diameter.
which was so regular in Its bore that It
served by means of the liquid partially
filling It for a thermometer. The con
tained liquid half filled the bore at 50
degrees F. aud completely filled it at
St) degrees. A study of the rate of ex
pauston or the liquid led Dr. Sorby to
the conclusion that it must be caruoulc

Lent.
By the word Lent Is understood the
fast of forty days preceding Easter.
J kept (after the example of Moses. Eli.-is
aud Christ himself) in order to prepare
the faithful for the great festival of
Easter. The Greek and Latin uames
for the fast, Tessa rakoste and Quadra
gesima, indicate the number of days.
The Italian Quareslma and the French
Careme come from the Latin. The
German Fastenzeit aud the Dutch Vas-
ten denote the fast while our own
word, I.ent, from the . Anglo-Saxon
kencten, means spring L e., spring

A Bit of Forestry.
Jo you kuow how to tell a hard
wood tree from a soft wood tree?
said a forester. 'Til tell you how to
do it, aud the rule holds good not only
here among our familiar pines and
walnuts, but lu the antipodes among
the strangest banyans, baobabs aud
whatnots. Soft wood trees have nee-
die leaves, slim, narrow, almost uni
form in breadth, if you don't believe
me, consult the pine, the spruce or the
fir. Hard wood trees have broad
leaves or various shape the oak. tbe
ebony, the walnut the mahogany and
so on.
Good Intentions Gone Wrong.
'Aren't you going home?" asked a
fellow cluh member.
'Not for several days," answered
Mr. Cumrox. "I'm going to give my
family a chance to forget You see,

Ths Thumb.
The nail phalanx of the thumb is
the index of a person's will power.
The other phalanx shows the nmount
and quality of bis judgment, reason,
logic. To be properly balanced both
phalanxes should be of equal length.
If the will phalanx is a trllle shorter
than the other, the equipoise is still
maintained. But if either phalanx is
considerably larger than the other
one's nature is made up of conflicting
elements. There is either too much
will with too little Judgment to curb it
or too little determination to cive ef
fect to the dictates of reason.
Tha Toastmaster.
"The cook says they ain't nobody in
the kitchen named William Thomas,"
reported a new bellboy at a fashionable
hotel in San Francisco.
"Well, who said there was?" retort
ed the clerk. "I told you to take that
telegram to William Thomas, the toafrt-master."
"Well, I seen the man what makes
toast. He's got a French name."
"Take the telegram Into the white
and gold room and give it to William
Thomas, who's presiding at the D. K.
E. banquet"-Los Aneeles Times.
The Physician.
According to thu.. British Medical
Journal, physicians as a class are mora
subject to iUuess than their fellow
meu. The Journal adds: "Au explaun
tiou of this Is readily found In the
anxieties caused by responsibilities
which must weigh heavy on every
man of right feeling, lu the amouut
and trying nature of the work the doe
tor has to do. In Irregularity lu meals
and broken sleep, lu exposure to
weather and to Infection, aud last, but
not least, lit tlie scanty remuneration
which his labor too often brings him.
Tho combine.! Influence of all these
causes is sulhi -lent to undermine tho
strongest cons:l;titlon long lefore a
man has reached the limit of three
score and ten." A comparison of ta
bles compiled by statisticians In differ
ent countries gives doctors an average
agu of fifty-seven years at death.
