Like many daughters of the Old Dominion, she migrated a few years ago to New York city, where she soon came to the fore. In her work Miss Wood employs either chalks or charcoal ; and she has been so exceptionally successful as a portraitist, that her services are almost continually in demand by women of fashion and wealth. Still on the sunny side of twenty-five, Miss Wood of Virginia and New York is an extremely pret ty girl, with an animated manner and possessed of many qualities which make her socially popular.

A walnut log in a fine state of preservation was found 350 feet un der the surface of the ground on a farm in McPhcrson county. C. W. Bachelor, a farmer, was drilling a well when the log was encountered. The tree, more than a foot in diame ter, is supposed to have grown on l!ie hanks of the big sea or lake that o.ice covered central Kansas. The only part of this lake remain i lg is the basin west of McPhcrson. The tree had not become fossilized but was just as natural wood as though it had fallen yesterday. It j.iust have taken thousands of years, local scientists say, for the 350 feet of soil, sand and shule to accumulate above tho log. McPhcrson Corre spondence Topeka Capital.

A writer at Auxvasse in the Fulton Gazette last week said: Judge Thomas F. Murry. of Stephens Store, visited his daugh ter, Mrs. Joseph II. Dudley, Sun day, lie is one of the promoters of the Mexico, Santa Fc and Per ry electric railroad, nnd if others had as much faith as he has iu the enterprise, the road would be built iiiiekly. lie reasons that Columbia. Fulton and Mexico, three splendid county-seat towns, with numerous state institutions and colleges and located in an cx e.elleiit farming section, could be connected by building a little more than 40 miles of road, and thinks the passenger traffic on On line would be as heavy as the freight. Gather Your Seed Corn Early. The Wabash is distributing fly bills broadcast urging the early selection of seed corn for use of next spring's planting. Hun dreds of farmers had to replant their corn last spring nnd then had only one-half to two-thirds of a stand because they waited until spring to get their seed and then picked it from the crib. The fly bill issued by the Wnbnsh gives valuable suggestions how to go about in the selection of fully de . eloped cars most suitable for this purpose, also how seed corn hould be stored during the win ler months. Copy of this fly bill can be obtained from any Wabash agent or by addressing J. D. Me- N'amara, (i. P. A., St. Bonis. Mo. Reception Committee to McKin ley 's Speaking. (!eo. Ilaivev, I. T. Van Note.

CONCERNING MEDICINE, If a doctor's prescription is not entirely used, the remainder should be thrown away, bearing in mind that, if liquid, the bottle should be emptied and washed. Not one chance in a hundred would'ever necessitate the use of the medicine or the same combination of drugs, unless it be in the form of a linament or some extcrnul remedy, which should bo properly labeled. Most medicines do not keep well, and, if unnecessary bottles are kept in the medicine cab inet, mistakes are more apt to be made, and confusion results. The medicine closet should be kept sepa rate from others, free from damp ness, and under lock an3 key, if pos sible, remembering to exclude the light. Drugs, especially powders, are injured by dampness. Suburban Life. NEW PLANET 13 LOST.
