It seems that the federal body of which Mr. Legge its (he heud, -Intends to buy" 100,000,000,000 burnt els of wheat to "stublllze" the mar ket and the price. This In a pow erful lot of wheat, and Incidentally, a powerful lot of cash, and not be ing In the leant greedy, Kansas, through her politiciunH, doHired to get firm whack at the spondulicks, and take the cream thereof. Mr. Liegge, who In civil lifo received $100,000 per year for thinking fast, qulokly penetrated the scheme of the Kansas politicians, and spake picturesquely and emphatically, in suiting 1,860,000 Kansas farmers, and peanut politicians all over the nation, at one swoop . . Every angle. of the Tom Mooney case Is covered -,wlth doubt, exoept that Mr, Mooney Is still In prison, . "One of the'.Crlts mules, bit off his own tall some time Wadnes- ay night." (Malln Jottings). That exonerates Mr. Crlts, Tho male quartette that threat ened this hustling burg for the past 11 years, has Bwooped down on Prospect. Heveral lawyers are taking va cations from their vucations. A girl named Helen has becomo modernised, and . hereafter wilt spell her monicker: "llelyn." The chief argument against thq selection of Tom B. Kuy, as the OOP nominee for governor, Is an alleged "physical weakness." There Is, however, nothing the matter with the round thing on his shoul ders, which he would be required to use every waking hour, whllo occupying the gubernatorial chair.

It Is even reported the teeth snapped at the hand of tho person who rescued them and had tu be held with a forked Htlck before George could re cover them. A new nttto of runt proportions Is scheduled to darken the high ways of these parts, at no late date. THE MOHT UNHAPPY IjOT Perhaps tho saddest lot that enn hofall mortal mnn Is to he the husband of a lady poet. It Is, of course, bad enough to be a hus band at ail, 1 am reliably in formed by authorities, but to be the husbttnd of a wumun who squats on Pegasus and Is pleasur ably flicked by his lull must be the apex of human misery. The first year or so of such an alliance may not bo unduly trying to the kind of man who can so much as look at a ludy poet without a violent sinking of the tummy, hut once life gets bark Into Us usual humdrum the poor fellows' days mast be filled with agony. It Is not that he tuts to spend his nights, after he gets hack from the day s grind at the shoe store or rolling, mills, listening to his wife's rhyth mical inspirations about whlppor wills, nightingales and weeping willows, but Hint he la compelled to listen for a very much grottier period of time to her romantic tributes to lovers with which he often la hard put to It even vaguely to Identify himself. lie cannut for the life of him know whether her rapsody Is boosting him or some other fellow, elt:ier living or dead, real or Imaginary.

The man who rises on a soap box ami calls everyone but himself a crook, damns the government and all its works and, with fire in his eye, fans the flames of irc.judiee and discontent, is certain of an audience. At a time like this, when there is widespread unrest, if he happens to lie a candidate for office, he is certain of n nunilier of votes. (iovernor lied' of Kansas, candidate for re-elect inn, is now i following t lii.s faimiiar demagogic wrniiir in the wnrxl t,f worlds. ot Kansas are starving, thanks yen, and Alt'Ximtlt'r liCKtre of tlie ilutmtnili(t I'linn board, with liis iicl'iiritnw Hiiliciiit! of co-operation hik! reduction of wheat uereiiifc, in responsible. "Vote for me, lurii the rascals out and enjoy the milleiiinin," says Governor Heed, or words to that effect. It's n fairly aafc bet that, with wheat at ils present price, the farmers of Kansas will follow his advice. But, asHiimiiiu; his election, his future course is not so clear. ' Fow will Governor TOed raise the price of wheat, and briny prosperity to the fanner? Jle fails to say. Naturally. Why bother with constructive criticism, when destructive criticism serves so much better, ami retpiires so 111 null less thought and effort! Why worry about what will bring prosperity to the Kansas farmer if Governor Reed can convince them Mr. Lej-'fte with his farm relief program is what took it away? In fact, it is a pretty safe assumption that only one thint; is worrying Governor Rued: namely, that someone will put a ques tion to him lie can't evade, phrased somewhat 11s follows: "If the Reimlillcnn rtdmliilHtratlon, with Its program ot co-operative marketing; and itd'euRO curtailment, is respuiillila tor the present low agricultural depression, how do yon explain the pres ent low price of wheat? Kor certainly the wheat furmers of Kun- -nan have not organized co-operatively, nor have they, or the furm ers anywhere else, curluiletl their acreage ol wheat. Can uuy program thut hutt not been tried bo reHpotiBlble for a condition thut already exists?" It would be interesting to hear Governor Recti's answer to that question. The situation reminds one of that old story about the village pastor who on a Sunday, afternoon -stroll caught some boys fishing in the creek. "It's very wicked to fish on Sunday," quoth the pastor. "Who's fishing?" retorted one of the boys"; haven't had a bite all day." The farm relief measure may be as wicked as Governor Reed maintains. Hut neither he nor anyone else can KNOW it is wicked or know it is fiit.il!-t mitil it has at least been tried. It hasn't been tried, and if Governor Reed has his way it never will be tried, and yet with n perfectly straight face he maintains it is responsible for the lowest wheat price in JO years.

Is there any harm In eating a hot .meal when I get home at night, and then going to bed shortly after wurd? Sometimes after 1 eat I have cramps In my stomach for a short time. Is this from late eat in,?? K. a: Answer. Sure, you ought to have one good warm (not hot) meal when you get through work, and it is perfectly physiological and healthful to hit the corn hunks as soon after dinner us you like. Perhaps the cramps are due to ha-sty eating. ..

I had been frightened ever since, until your advice did mo so much good and reassured me ... It is a godsend 1 to us poor people to know there is a doctor in whom we cart confide and trust. Mrs. C. B. J. Answer. And It makes me very happy to know that poor people, us well as those not so poor, do confide In me, and thut I do some times give them some comfort of mind if not of body. Perhaps the element of anxiety about the out come "is greater facior In an ! attack of herpes zoster ("shin-1 gles") than we doctors think.

Thnt meant that the time was really back, , i00 . years. Every evening the Little Black ' Clock met John and Peggy and took them off on adventures. Dur ing the daytime he stood on the desk in the back hall of theif house with hs hands pointed to 7:00 o'clock. That was because he had chosen to accept the magic thut allowed, him to turn the time backward or' forward, but in return for the mnglc ho had to give up telling: the ordinary, usual time. Now the Little Black Clock was taking them once more In the train drawn by horses, but now there was a second track and upon that second track was a locomotive about to travel by its steam.
