How would -you like to take a lltt'e Jaunt, say twenty flve or thirty miles, at the present time? Sure, a nice little walk. Well, Kirby McCrill so sizes up a trip of that length. Kirby was among those summoned to sit on a Jury. There happened to be no trains 'coining to Leavenworth when Kirby desired to start. That didn't bother him, neither did the high price of shoe leather. So Kirby walked to Kansas City, a distance of about twenty-seven miles. "It was Just n nice little stroll," said Kirby. "I take long walks often and there l nothing like It to preserve one's good health. At Knnsas City I caught an Intcriirbuii cur and came to Leaven worth. I Intend to walk back when I get through with the Jury work." Cbas. Klngswell R. W. M Classified Ads For Sale, Rent, Wanted, Etc. 8urgaon Replaced Mule's Ear. Flushing. O.
