Dr.

Halm was summoned by telephone and soon reduced tho fracture and hfft bis patient feeling as comfortable as could be expected. It is a very severe blow to Mr. Jones but thosu who saw it all say that hud he not fallen at the Instant when he did that it would have boeu his head instead of bis leg. THAT PETITION. The petition that was circulated last week praying the county commissioners to appoint Col.

Duerson bailiff of this court is still on tap at the court house id Fort Scott. After reading over the seventy-flye or more names on the pe tition the board decided that thore were hardly names enough and Inform ed the Colonel that he should get two or three more anyway. No.v this is real mean and littlo of the board.

G. A. Chamblin, Clerk. Duerson Will Not Accept. In the event that J.

B. Duerson, the efficient superintendent of the poor farm at Uniontown, should change his mind and decide to accept a reappoint ment there would be enough populist fur flying in the.air to start a seal skin factory. Mr. Duerson who has had charge of the farm for many years, will go out on March 1, his term expir ing at that time. So well has he managed the.

farm that it comes from reliable source that he can have the reappointment if he so desires, even if Chambers, the populist member is allowed to hold his seat. However, Mr. Duerson announces that he will retire from the superintendence and that he would not accept the Dlace for another term. Mr. Duerson says there is not much more than a living in the job and he can do better than that on the outside.

His connection with the institution has been eminently satisfactory, as well as that of Mrs. Duerson, who has charge of the female department. There is thirty-three inmates at the farm. Mr. Duerson 's retirement leaves the field open to the populists in the event that James Cooper is unsuccessful.

There will be a number of aspirants for the place. Monitor. PraUs stock and poultry food, at the Racket J. W. Moore have one of the best farms io Bourboa county for sale.

There were a few bales of hay in the west end of the building and -it was in these that the blaze originated.

This is an Kngli.su story, mid, strange as it may seem, it made hit when It wns told at the I.nmba' club, sn.vs the New York Telegraph.

It Mas perpe trnted by Lawrence d'Orsay, the English actor. Several members of the club spun yarns of dubious merit, when Mr. d'Orsny In his peculiar way began: "Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story." Ono man present pulled out his watch, anil they all thought it was going to be a serinl. Ono or two started to go, but the actor stopped them by his assurance that the story wouldn't be very long. "There wns a friend of mine In London," he said, "who wns an Incessant cigarette smoker.

Finally he lost his memory. Then he forgot to smoke cigarettes, and he got well again." Mr. d'Orsay effected escape through the assistance of a friend who knew him when he didn't tell such stories. The "Camel'a Hair" Brnsk. "Contrary to the belief of most people, the camel's hair brush used by artists has nothing of the camel in it," said a manufacturer of soft brushes to a writer the other day.

"There was a time when real camel's hair was used for the purpose. The Bhlp of tho desert, however, has long been superseded by the homely little squirrel. Not only Is squirrel's hair very much less costly, but it is better, softer, more pliable and far more durable. At the present day it Is doubtfuUf you could find a pound of camel's hair In all the brush factories In this country. However, there is no cause for fear that the graceful lit tle squirrel will be exterminated.

It is the European squirrel that furnishes the hair for the brushes, the covering of the American squirrel being too furry and soft for Ihe purpose." Wash ington Star. d. W.
