_ em VOL. XXVII. SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.’ A New Series of Detective Stor- ies in the Kansas City Star. Conon Doyle’s detective stories, with the marvelous Sherlock Holmes as their hero, have achieved the greatest success of recent years. Ap- preciating this fact the publishers of Collier’s Weekly, New York, induced Mr. Doyle to write a final series of the great detective’s adventures. Repeated refusale were followed by increased inducements, and finaily Mr. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories for $45,000, vr about 60 cente a word. The entire corres- pondence was by cable. The amount paid by Collier's is the largest ever paid for such work and does not in- clude the right to publish thestories in book form. By special arrange- ments with Collier’s, these famous stories are being printed in The Kan- sas City Star, one story each week, beginining, in the daily edition, Saturday, February 11, and in the Weekly, Wednesday, February 15 None of the present popular features of The Star will be cut down or omitted to make room for this re- markable set of stories. Practically the contents of a $1.50 book will be added to the contents of The Star,in three months, without any increase of the subscription price, 10 cents a week for the Daily Star (morninx, evening and Sunday, 13 complete papers @ week), and 25 cents @ year for The Weekly Star.

From the Evangelist, “Who is that inthe parlor, Nellie?” asked the little sister. “Nobody but mamma and Fred,” replied Nellie. “Oh, yes, there must be some one else,” rejoined the little girl, ‘for mamma has her company voice on.” It was a little squib under the head of “Fun,” which a member of the family read aloud from the paper. The circle about the table who heard it smiled and one said, ‘That’s a good joke” Buta more thoughtful member turned it over in her mind She was the ofother, and she admit- ted to herself that it was more than a joke—that in many instances it was sober truth. It came home to her heart with grost significance, for she acknowledged to herself that ‘the company voice” was entirely too often put on when in the presence of those outside of the home circle, Paying 38 Cents for Eggs.

Feeding Quail About Joplin. Local members of the recently or- ganized Missouri Game and Fish Protective league have begun the unique practice of feeding the quail which abound in this section in sea son and out of season, says the Jop lin Globe During the past few days over 50 bushels of wheat have been scattered promiscuously along the banks of the creeks south of town, and noticas have been sent to the farmers and residents of every eec- tion of Jasper and Newton counties in which quail are hunted in season to institute raids oi hawke, weasels, minks, scunks and other animals which prey on them especially during cold weather. ‘The order to educate the natives in disposing of hawks and various pests which destroy the quail out of seas- on came from the headquarters of of the league in St. Louis. The plan to feed the birds during the extreme cold weather when it is utterly im possible for them to get nourishment with a hard coating of ice on the ground, originated in the local branch of the league and {t is confi- dently believed by sportsmen that it will prove successful. Thg local sportsmen about Butler and the farmers of Bates county should profit by the above sugges- tion and preserve the quail through- out the county. Fraud Exposed.
