Walking up to the compounder of prescriptions, he said "Mister, ain't there some kind of stuff that you kin rub on that'll make a fellow's skin as tough as an elephant's?" The druggist looked the boy over, and replied "Yes, the oil of tannin will harden the skin, if that's what you mean." "That's the trick I'm play in' fur exactly. Gimme ten cents worth. While putting it up the druggist asked "What do you want to harden your hands for? Going to the country to husk corn?" "Husk nothin', an' my han's is as tuff as rawhide now.

Prices low. Satisfaction guaranteed. Particulars. A rather amusing incident is told as having occurred recently at a church in Connecticut, not many miles from Fairfield. The clergyman, it would appear, desifed to call the attention of his congregation to the fact that it being the last Sunday in the month he would administer the rite of baptism to children.

Previous to his having entered the pulpit he received from one of ihe elders, who, by the way, was quite deaf, a notice to the effect that as the children would be present that afternoon, and he had the new Sunday school books ready for distribution, he would have them there sell to all who desired them. Af-ter he sermon the clergyman began the notice of the baptismal service, thus: "All of those having children and desiring to have them baptised will bring them this afternoon. At this poii.t the deaf elder hearing the mention of children, supposed it was something in reference to his books, and, rising, said "And all those having none, and desiring them, will be supplied by me for the sum of 25 cents. Some disinterested gentlemen, hailing from the battle scarred state of Indiana, recently waited upon Gen. Garfield and proceeded to whisper into that gentleman 1 ear something to the end the republicans of the gallant Hoosier state would appreciate any cabinet recognition they might receive in the incoming administration.

Whereupon the general informed the visitors that they were all great and good men, that Indiana is a big state, and that he would try to remember the fact of the call.

Heuer, of Harton county, has introduced a bill to create the 16th Judicial District, composed of the counties of Harton, Stafford, Pratt, Harbour, Pawnee, Rush, Ness, Hodgeman, Kd wards and Kord, and the unorganized counties wot to the state line.

A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Strung. It is thought the bill will speedily become a law.

LOCATION. Lane County, Kansas, is situated near the western part of the State, about half-way between Kansas City and Denver, and as it also about midway between the Atchison, Topeka Santa and the Kansas Division ol the Union Pacific Railroads there are good prospects that at no distant day a railroad will be put through the county, thus giving to the producing dlfMf the advantage of shipping grain and stock either East or West. AREA AND AD VANTAGES. Lane County embraces twenty townships, or 720 square miles, and as there are not more than a half dozrn sections of railroad land in the county this is all open to settlement under the Homestead, Pie-emption and Timbe Culture Acts, with the exception of two school sections in each township. SOIL.

For fertility of soil Lane County is unsurpassed. Good crops can he raised here with as little rain as any country in the world. WATER. The county is abundantly watered by the Smoky Hill River ad tc three branches of Walnut Creek. Good wafer is always obtained in wells.

TOCK-RAISING. As a stock raising country this is not to be excelled. Every on whm comes to Lane County should bring all the cattle and sheep he possib))r could. Crops may fail but the stock business is a sure thing. CLIMATE.

The climate is one of the many redeeming features Kansas can beaet of. Many who come here with broken down constitutions in a short time almost entirely regain health and strength. f)ry Good, American engineers are pushing the pioneer railroad in Japan to completion at the rate of a mile and a halt a day. It is proposed to have a net work of railways on both Yesso and Ninen. The local traffic will be very large.

Jay Gould has not gone in there yet, but there is no telling when he will buy up the stock and play his goute game on the unfortunate Japs.

The prosperous condition of Kansas in general is shown nowhere better than in the prompt payment of taxes. "Say, boy! say," exclaimed a hot looking man with a valise, "what is the quickest way to get to the cars?" "Run," yelled the boy; and the hot looking man was so pleased with the informat ion that if he could have got near enough to the boy he would have given him something something that lie would have remembered.
