CONSUMPTION CUPOLA SKETCHES By BYRON WILLIAMS THE WILD ROSE Oh, a wild rose bloomed in a fair retreat Oh, zephyr's gently blew. Flooding the nook with her incense sweet— Queen of a scented crew. But coyest of all was this wild rose queen. With her daimny petals fair. When the west wind came with his wooing keen. A wooing hood to decorate. A true love to declare. And day by day through the springtime fleet, He sought in lover's mood To lay his heart at the rose's feet Near the border of the wood. Thus in sun and shade did the west wind flee To preserve his courting sway, While the wild rose bloomed to maturity And loved in her rosy way. Ah! she gave herself to the amorous wind, As he sped the westland down. And the bold groom blew the rose away To the rolling fields of brown. He kissed her cheeks in a merry race Throughout the livelong day. But at dusk he tired of her fragile face And carelessly sped away! Into the cloaks of a serried field She fell with fragrance spent. But the west wind never a sigh did yield For the flower innocent. In the chilling field, all torn and rife, The wild rose drooped and died. But the angels wrote in the Book of Life 333 Newspapers are all right in their way, but the trouble with the great YESSIR AM'T JIM WITH SHE GOT! NEW TELL!

As the result of sunburn, Joseph Perkins, a Coney Island life-saver, is delicious in a New York hospital. The doctors who are treating him pronounce his the worst case of sunburn they have ever seen. A large part of his skin had been made completely raw by the sun. Spanish Signs in Mexico. The Mexican government proposes to compel all signs and advertisements on walls to be in Spanish with, if desired, translations into other languages. It is considered contrary to the dignity of the nation that English signs, now very numerous, should not have their Spanish counterpart. Tasks for Children. It is not only cruel but most unwise to set little children tasks fitted only for persons of mature years. Little children should not be required nor allowed to perform any drudgery, and especially to lift heavy weights. Children's bones are tender, not having ossified so as to be hardened, so they easily become deformed and grow out of shape. She Was a "Quivering Mass." A London correspondent, describing the spectators at the opera performance in honor of President Loubet of France, in London, notes that Mrs. Perry Belmont, of New York, easily led the diamond brigade. "She was a quivering mass of rich stones and dazied the eye from all parts of the house." It is not surprising that she quivered with such a load on. A German Farmer's Case. Rich Fountain, Mo., Aug. 17th. Rev. Joseph Pope of this place is widely and favorably known as a clergyman who has done and is doing much for his people. He is very much beloved by everyone for the faithfulness of his pastoral work. Rev. Mr. Pope has given for publication a statement made to him by a German farmer who is a member of his congregation. The man's name is George Hoellerer, and he has given Rev. Mr. Pope this letter: "Last winter I suffered very much with Rheumatism. I could neither walk nor ride on horseback nor do any farm work. "I took medicine from different doctors but they did not do me any good. Then I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills procured for me by a good friend. After I had taken the first box I felt already a heap better; I was relieved of the pain and could walk and chop wood; and the contraction of my fingers began to resolve. "Now since I have taken six more boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I feel well again and am able to do all the work on the farm." Great Britain Leads.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional treatment. The ear is a functional edition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infilmed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely flammatized the mucous lining of the flammatation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by caustic irritation but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

At the Packing House Meat Meat Market. Remember the place--Market at the Gate of the Dold Packing House. Although an extra session of congress is a thing not ordinarily to be desired, yet since one seems to be necessary it would appear well to have it as soon as practicable. Therefore the intimation in yesterday's dispatches that the president will convene congress in October is welcome. The necessity of holding an extra session arises from the inability or refusal of the senate to do its plain duty with regard to Cuba. The senate permitted itself to become so oxwardized that it could not ratify the Cuban reciprocity treaty outright, but must needs attach a clause requiring concurrence by the house. The mischief of this clause was that it laid over until December any tariff concession to Cuban sugar—too late to be of any benefit to this year's crop. The clause was merely a pretext for further delay. It represented nothing but the desperate hope of oxnardized senators that something might happen in the meantime to defeat the treaty altogether. HAMS Nothing has happened. On the contrary, the people are more than ever resolved that justice shall be done to Cuba and the binds that connect her with the United States shall be strengthened. For these reasons the president some time ago announced that congress would be called in special session on Nov. 9 to act on the Cuban treaty. All summer certain senators and others have kept insisting that some thing ought to be done to improve the currency. The eople are far from convinced that anything needs to be done with the currency. Nevertheless, if calling congress together in October will get over sooner the idle tariff debate that the Cuban treaty is certain to be made an excuse for, and do earlier justice to Cuba; all the better.

A BIG TIME A BIG TIME The old fashion Southern Picnic which will be given at South Riverside Park on Tuesday, September 22nd, promises to be a gathering long to be remembered by the people of Wichita. The committee who has charge of the picnic are not sparing time, money nor paints to make this a gramp occasion. The 22nd day of Sept. is universally recognized as a day of appropriate celebration among the colored people of North America as emancipation day, and the celebration which is scheduled for the 22nd this year will be given in a most elaborate manner. It is well for our people to have set apart some day of general celebration and from all historical recount, which would connect every day with the freedom of American slaves, the 22nd day of Sept. is more appropriate than any other. It is hoped, then, that all will avail themselves of the opportunity to fittingly celebrate the emancipation of our fore fathers and mothers from the bonds of slavery. The gentlemen and ladies who have this celebration in charge will give it in the style of the Southern people. No one who never witnessed a true southern emancipation picnic should miss this opportunity to witness a southern pic THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO The Nashville News denies the InterOcean's assertion that "theoretically the South admits that the Negro is a man and has a soul, but practically it condemns him eternally to the status of a domesticated brute." The News says: That the negro is not regarded in the South as a human being is, of course, an absurdity sufficiently contradicted by the kindly feelings that exist in the main between the two races in this section. The existence of those kindly feelings is cheerfully admitted. But what is their nature? Perhaps the question by a record of personally observed facts. In a little western town thirty years ago there were about a dozen women belonging to the same social circle and in a position to employ domestic servants. One of them was of Southern birth and breeding the others were New England born and bred. With hardly an exception their husbands and brothers had fought to free the Negro. With out an exception all believed that the freeing of the negro was right. In the same town were several negro families, from which domestic servants were naturally drawn. All the white women mentioned employed these negroes from time to time. They observed however that none of the Yankee women found negro servants as satisfactory as did the Southern women. They also observed that the negroes preferred to work for the southern women, and this in spite of the fact nic on northern ground. Mr. Miles Parker, a gentleman of his standing and wide experience in southern picnies is chairman of arrangement committee and will be pleased to confer with any of the colored people who may wish to offer suggestions to make the picnic more original Mr. Parker has secured some good speakers for the occasion, among whom will be. Hon. J. F. Conly, Capt. J. B. Fishback, Hon. J. A. Conly, Judge C. C. Stanley Hon. Mr. Clark, Valley Center. Miss Lula Bradford will conduct the singing. Everyone is requested to prepare to go to the park on Sept. 22d and have a fine time Judge G. N. Perkins, of Guthrie O. T., known in Oklahoma as the "African Lion" has been invited to be one of the speakers. Judge Porkins is an elquent, learned and witty speaker, and all who hear him will then agree with us that he is a good speaker. Prepare to have a fine time on Sept. 22d at South Riverside Park. that the southern women did not believe, and does not to this day, that any negro could by any possibility ever become her equal. Yet the negroes preferred to work for her rather than the Yankee women brought up to believe, circumstances being equal, in the equality of black and white. Why? On the part of the New England women there was an instinctive physical shrinking from these domestics—a persistent lack of sympathy with them in spite of reason and will—that the negres felt as they did not feel from the southern woman accustomed from childhood and through inheritance to have negroes about her. All these white women were conscientiously just and kind to their black servants. But the negroes instinctively preferred the kindness that did not shrink from them. That is human nature, white as well as black. The kindly feelings of the southerner toward the negro are in the least analysis always those of concession to an inferior. The southerner is perfectly sure that no negro can ever possibly become the equal of the white man. From the southern viewpoint the negro's place is above the the brute's, for he has theoretically, a soul, but practically always below the white man's and can never be the same. "The negro," says the average southerner, "is all right as long as he keeps his place and does not try to be a white man, which p3 can never be. But we will always treat him kindly long as he keeps his continue topae 33 A. B.

But when those stages are past it becomes irksome. As men weary of being treated as children, so do races. The spiritual failure of the south is in the refusal so understand teat the black race cannot be treated and condemned ta perpetual childhood, and that the kindness that pleases an animal may be cruelty to a grown man. The practical failure of the South is dot in its refusal to open to the negro the door of present equality —that is best kept shut until both rrices are ready to open it—but in its refusal to admit that that door can never be opened. The white and black races are in this country. Both will stay her- and must manage to live together. They will never be able to live together in peace so long as one persists in closing to the other not only the door of present equality, but even the door of hope to any possible future equality. The south gives the negro kindness, indeed, but only as it gives it to children and animals. That is the fatal blundor of the south.—Inter Ocean MRS ANNA BURTON AT REST After less than ten hours sickness Mrs Anna Burton died at her home on Blaine ave. The news of her death came as a thunderbolt upon the citizens of this city among whom she was so well and favorably known. Her death was a surprise, because only last Saturday she was down in the city apparently we'd and hearty. She was taken suddenly sick Monday afternoon about 5 o'clock and died at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. She was at her home and was taken suddenly with cramping, a doctor was summoned but she steadily grew worse, and at 10 o'clock she was dead. Mrs. Burton was the wife of Jack Burton and was the mother of Mrs. W. H. Jones. She had been a resident of Wichita since 1884, having come to this city in that year from Springfield, Mo., where she had lived for a number of years and where she had a host of warm friends. At the time of her death Mrs. Burton was 62 years of age, and was a Georgian by birth—having been born near Atlanta, Ga., in 1841. Funeral services took place at the Congregational church, Thursday afternoon 3 p.m. Mrs. Burton lived a true christian and was a consistent and faithful member of the A. M. E. church of this city. She lived near the Congregational church, of which her husband was the sexton, and not fsr from the cemetery on the east side of the city, it was her desire before death that in case she died that the services be held either at the home or at the church of which her husband hau been sexton for so long, and that in case of her death that her body be not born through the entire city to the A. M. E. church, which is on the west side of the city and of which she was a faithful member. In accordance with her desire before her death the family arranged to have the services at the Congregational church under the auspices of the A. M. E. church. Mrs. Burton was conscien till the end, and just before her death she called for her hu-band and being informed that he had gone for a doctor she said: "Fell him he has done all in his power and he has done his duty well," with that she became unconscion and soon died. Mrs. Burton has a host of warm friends in this city. The Searchlight extends to the bereaved family its most sincere condolence. The Frisco Restaurant MEALS AT ALL HOURS—15c Mrs. C. J. Jackson, Prop. 903 East Douglas. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON VIII., AUG. 23—DAVID AND JONATHAN. Golden Text—"There Is a Friend That Sticketh Closer Than a Brother"—Proverbs 18:24—The Results of the Sins of Saul. 1. "A Notable Friendship."—The lesson for to-day is a most interesting and almost romantic section of David's history, in which we can delightfully trace the workings of God's guiding providence, as he leads a young man toward his life's work. The friendship of Jonathan and David was one of the most perfect and beautiful ever known. "The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David"; their souls were interwoven together; "and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." I. "Three Essential Conditions of Friendship."—It is true that "the marriage of souls is a heavenly mystery, whose meaning explain," but it is also true that we can称其 conditions necessary to the strongest and most abiding friendship. First. Mutual Worth. There must be something strong and noble in each partner to the friendship. Second. An Essential Similarity with Minor Differences, not indentity, but harmony. Two friends must be set to the same key, and each note must harmonize with the others. Third. The Spirit of Self-sacrifice. Friendship always implies the willingness to sacrifice self for the sake of the one loved. Christ was a measureless lover, and hence glorified above every other."—Bishop Warren. III. "How David and Jonathan Fulfill these Conditions."—David. It is worthy a special notice that it was when David's worth was appreciated in his victory over Goliath that Jonathan's soul was knit to the soul of David. IV. "How Jonathan Expressed his Friendship."—I. Sam. 18: 1-4. Jonathan, the prince, took off his royal soldier garments and gave them to David, together with his brother, a famous bow, which was his special weapon." (I. Sam. 1: 23), and his princely girdle. V. "The Test of Friendship."—Vs. 12, 12. A court, and especially an Eastern court, is a perilous place for a young and untried man, and most of all for one with the popular qualities of David. But God used this period of trial as one means of David from the threatening dangers. He wished to be good to him, and he kept close to David. Saul was sometimes troubled by an evil spirit, which wrought him up to an insane frenzy of evil passion. David still sought to soothe him with his music, but the David envious of him, for the reason that David was so fond of his lifestyle with him (L. Sam. 18: 28). David was compelled to escape from the court as quietly as possible, so that his absence might not be noticed by King Saul. But when the festival of the new moon was held David was expected to be present at the table, and Saul would certainly not be there. David therefore asks Jona to excuse for him, to note his father Saul's feelings toward David, and report to David. 12. "Jonathan said . . . O Lord God of Israel." Better as R. V., "The Lord, the God of Israel, be witness," or as Septuagint, "knows." 13. "The Lord do so and more to Jonathan." A prayer that God should treat him as he treated David, and even more severely. "As he hath been with my father!" Raising him from an humble station to the throne, and giving him an opportunity for usefulness and success. 14. Jonathan was convinced that David would be the successor of Saul as king of Israel, and therefore asked as a favor, "while yet I live show me the kindness of the Lord." 17. "Jonathan caused David to sweep again." The intensity of his love led him to want the sweet words repeated again and again, as in v. 42. "Jehovah was to be watchman, umpire, arbiter between Jonathan and David—Johnson." 18. Jonathan now returns to David's suggestion in v. 8, and proceeds to unfold his plan of making known to his friend the state of the king's feeling toward him. 19. "When thou hast stayed three days," in Bethlehem (v. 6), or in any place of hiding, "thou shalt go down" into the valley, and "remain," await Jonathan's coming, "by the stone Ezel. 20-22. So David went his way, and Jonathan's life tried to his home, and at the risk of his life tried to save David and soothe his father's anger. But Saul was so angry that he threw a javelin at his son to wound if not kill him. At the appointed time Jonathan went out into the country to give his signal to David. He not only bade the boy to go beyond where he was, but he shouted to him, "Make speed, haste, stay not," intended for David's cars. After the boy had gone Jonathan went to David's hiding-place, and the friends kissed one another in the Oriental fashion. Then they parted, never to meet again, save once, a year or two later, in the wilderness of Zizh, when David was pursued by Saul. Then Jonathan went out into the wilderness to comfort his friend, and "strengthened his hand in God." (I. Sam. 23). 16. Read David's beautiful "Song of the Bow." his lament over his dead friend (II. Sam. 11). 17-27). VI. "Lessons Taught Us by This Friendship."—"Every man may learn from this story of Jonathan how to choose friends," for we have the right and power to choose friends, not for their unliness, to choose friends, not for their unliness, for our goodness, not for their worth to us, but for their worth in themselves, and choose, if possible, people superior to ourselves."—Kingsley. The friendship of Jonathan and David teaches us concerning the higher friendship with Jesus. First We must be friends to him, as we want to be. He loves us, whether we do him or not; but not for friends unless we also love him, nor can we claim the benefits of that friendship. Second. Friendship with Jesus is based on worth. We love him because he is so good, so noble, so lovable. Third. Friendship with Jesus implies self-sacrifice. Jonathan cheerfully reimphened his hopes of his father's kingdom for his friend David. Jesus left his heavenly kingdom to come down to us, and we would not be kings and priests in his Father's kingdom. We, on our part, are to show our love by sacrifices for him and his cause. Compare the friendship of Ruth. Beginning the. Day. Someone has given the following description of how to begin the day: To rise each morning with a thought of God in the soul, left over to fill a new mission from the night before; kneeiere descending the stairs for the consecration of your life, and the renewed assurance of his guidance of you, just for that day—this is the true preface of a beautiful life. We are willing to lose our stars when the Sun of Righteousness shines. AGRICULTURE Not long ago a man in conversation with the writer expressed surprise at being informed that cranberries are grown as far south as Indiana and Illinois. Yet the cranberry is grown over a very wide area of territory in the United States and possibly could be grown much further south than it is at present grown. Massachusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin are the great cranberry states, exceeding in their cranberry products all other states. The figures for these three states for the consum year 1899 were: Massachusetts, 598,906 bushels; New Jersey, 230,221 bushels; Wisconsin, 111,098 bushels. We can appreciate the lead of these three states by looking at the returns of New York, the next greatest producer, which grew that year only 10,877 bushels. Massachusetts had 5,128 acres in cranberry marsh; New Jersey, 8,356 and Wisconsin 5,821. Of the three Massachusetts had the smallest acreage, but the largest crop, each acre yielding 117 bushels of cranberries, against New Jersey's 29 and Wisconsin's 19. Altogether 19 states reported cranberry marshes. They were Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin. But Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota reported only a single acre each, with yields of 53, 61, 36 and 22 bushels respectively. Oregon reported six acres, which yielded at the rate of 119 bushels per acre the best average of all New York cranberry marshes yielded 96 bushels per acre The Wisconsin per acre yield of 19 bushels was the lowest of all except Maine, which reported an average yield of 17 bushels per acre on 90 acres. That cranberries are grown in many other states not reported we have no doubt; nor do we doubt that this delicious and profitable berry can be grown in large quantities in the states that now report few acres. There are many varieties of cranberries, only a few of which are known to commerce. The cranberry of commerce is known as Vaccinium macrocarpon, and is native to a narrow belt of country along the Atlantic coast, from Maine to New Jersey, and in isolated areas along the Allegheny mountains from southern Pennsylvania to North Carolina. In the central United States the plant is found in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The successful commercial developments in the cranberry industry have generally been found in localities where the cranberry occurs as a native plant. The first plantings of the cranberry were made in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts between 1800 and 1818. Two species of cranberries grow in this country. One is the little cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), which is indigenous to sphagnum swamps in sub-arctic and Alpine regions of both Europe and America, and is also found growing wild in New England, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and the Pacific Northwest. The large or American berry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is distributed in the nineteen states mentioned at the beginning of this article. It is the species that is being used as a base for the developing of new and improved varieties. Subsoiling Query. From the Farmers' Review:—Will it do any good to use a subsoil plow on a subsoll that will hold water? How deep should the plowing be? What is the best time of year to do the work? The soil is upland and in Oklahoma.—Joseph Blodgen, Oklahoma. The query was submitted to Prof. John Fields; director of the Oklahoma Experiment Station, at Stillwater, Ok., who replies as follows: I gather from the inquiry that the soil in question is underlaid with a tough subsoil through which water penetrates very poorly. The soil of the Experiment Station farm is very similar in character and experiments with sub-soiling conducted several years ago showed that the results did not warrant a continuance of the extra labor of subsolling. The better plan seems to be to to plow such land quite deeply, at least 6 to 8 inches, and give it thorough cultivation before planting or seeding crop. Such methods of preparation result in excellent yields of wheat if the plowing is done early but if plowing is delayed until late in the fall, deep plowing usually results in smaller yields than shallow plowing. It would not advise subsolling such land for ordinary farm crops. The Usual Signal. When Baby Alice first saw a cow with a bell around its neck she thought it so funny that nothing could induce her to leave the spot. She stood watching the cow until it slowly walked away. Then, when the bell began to ring, she turned delighted to her mother, exclaiming, "Oh, Mama! does the cow ring the bell when she wants the calf to come to supper?"—Little Chronicle. Hoeling destroys many weeds. This is the best way to clear out most of those with tap roots, which should be cut below the crown. Advocate the silo, and if you have will thus benefit both the public and not one yourself, construct one. You you self. FARM MISCELLANY Danish Dairy Cattle. We may very properly inquire whether there are cattle in other countries which would improve our dairy herds or be a valuable acquisition to the variety we now possess. Although others may hold different views, it is the belief of the writer that the only countries to which any attention can profitably be given in this connection are Denmark, France, and Switzerland. The first named furnishes the best example in the world of dairying as a national specialty, of rapid development, and of present high average production and excellence. Here we find the Red Danish cattle to be the standard stock, and very satisfactory business cows they are, of a pronounced dairy type. But they lack uniformity except in color, particularly in udder development and other dairy points, and in the show ring the very best of them could not hopefully compete with the best of any of the four leading dairy breeds of this country. As dairy performers they are good, but not remarkable; the best yearly records the writer has seen to show an average production of 8,000 to 8,800 pounds of milk per cow, in herds of 11 to 19 animals of all ages, with an average fat content of about $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent, an equivalent of 290 to 325 pounds of butter per year. A very celebrated herd of 70 cows averaged 7,150 pounds of milk a year. In Jutland there is a distinctively dairy race of sharply defined black and white markings in appearance reminding one of Holland cattle, and still more of Brittianes, although between these two races in size. They are very attractive cows, of rather less than medium size, and excellent milkers. Both these races of Danish cattle may be credited with being economical producers; yet none of them are wanted here, for superlative excellence seems to be lacking on the one hand, while on the other they appear predisposed to tuberculosis and very generally tainted with this insidious and dread disease.—Henry E. Alvord in Year Book. Dairy Utensils. ..From Farmers' Review:—The utensils used by dairymen are often simply rinsed, the milk remaining in the seams and corners and more or less over the whole surface. When in such condition if they are allowed to stand in a warm place bacteria will develop in them very rapidly, so that by the time of the next milking a good crop will be ready to take possession of the new milk. Often when utensils are washed they are not properly rinsed and the water together with the cloths used in washing and wiping are heavily loaded with bacteria so that after the utensils are to all appearances clean they may even yet be covered with a layer of bacteria. They should be rinsed first with cold or luk warm water, not hot as this coagulates the albumen of the milk, causing it to adhere to the vessel. After rinsing they should be washed in hot water using some cleaning substance as soap or sal soda, again and sterilized thoroughly either by means of steam or boiling water and placed in the sun where dust cannot blow on them. Fresh milk is easily removed but if allowed to become dry or sour it is difficult to get off. If the utensils cannot be cleaned immediately after using, fill them with water to prevent drying. Utensils should be heavily tinned and should be discarded as soon as the tin is worn off; the fewer seams the better, and what there are should be filled with solder, leaving no place for dirt to collect. Wooden pails cannot be properly cleaned. Cans in which milk is hauled to the factory should be washed and sterilized at the factory and the skim milk returned in other vessels. Milk cans should not be tightly closed when put away, for the free circulation of the air will keep them dry and prevent the growth of germs. —W. J. Fraser, University of Illinois. Profits in Sheep. In the management of sheep, how to produce the greatest profit from the flock is the first consideration; not how to produce the greatest number of lambs, as is usually the case with the young shepherd, but to produce an animal that will give the greatest profit for the labor and expense involved. We will suppose that the shepherd has secured his flock of ewes in the fall. What breed? Well, that is a matter of fancy; any of the good breeds will do, so long as they have been judiciously selected. The next and greatest consideration would be the selection of a ram. He should be big, strong and rugged, and, above all things, typical of his breed and full of quality. The ewe influences only her own progeny, the ram the whole flock, and on him depends its improvement or retrogression. A strong shearling or older ram is capable of serving from 50 to 70 ewes, or more, according to treatment. If he has only 50 ewes, he may be allowed to run with the flock, and fed night and morning. If from 50 to 100 he will require to be kept inside and only allowed one service of each ewe, night and morning, as they come in season. It is a good plan to mark the ram's breast with lamp black mixed with oil, and in ten or fifteen days change the color. The ewe's rump is thus marked, and according to the color the time of lambing is calculated—A. D. Gamley. The effects of barnyard manure have been seen in a soil twenty years after its application.
