THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT 6TH YEAR. BRIDGE STAR GIVES ITS REA MOS FOR SUPPORTING REA PULICAN TICKET. FRENCHES THAT MEAN SOMETHING. Publican Firing Line Always Brown Sight and Hearing—Its Standard Bearer Full of American- ity, Full of Energy, Intensely Honest and Intensely Earnest— Smalls Hard Times Under Cleve- vent announcing its change from a刷ist paper to a Republican paper in Barbaird Star, published by Bussard Bros. gives some reasons we will furnish food for thought to the old time Populists. The Star that the increase in the produc of gold has solved the money situation and that the hosts whose slogan was "16 to 1" have ranks, furled their banners been swallowed up mainly by the great political parties. The Star that doesn't blame Bryan for stay with the Democrats, but says you can't blame others who had in earlier political life trained with Republicans for returning to their associations. He also recalls hard times under the last Cleveland administration and contrasted with the good times enjoyed since Republican administrations continued: The action of the Republican auctions in granting independence to a after maintaining a wholesome corporate over it won our admiration and believing that like action be taken by the same party with respect to our insular inhabitants in Far East tend to influence us in notice of political affiliation for present. We most certainly favor liberal unions to veterans and know by the history of the Republican party that it really advances the old solvers interests when possible; and by the Democratic party's history that measure is not to its credit. The policies of the present administration with respect to the anthracoal strike, Venezuelan difficulties and the Panama negotiations and assessments have been such as to recommend the party of which Roosevelt is the representative head in a highly favorable light to the thinking anthroic American who sees in him the original thinker, a righteous civilization a high-minded, brave, forceful executive. He stands for many of the policies which I admire. He stands for many things to further the full examination of which would add honor to any one—economy in public service measures, international arbitration, correction of election frauds and exclusion of Chinese labor. Beering that the Republican party, curring our conclusions for the future from the past, is the most proactive, most resourceful and the most, we cast our fortunes with the party of our young manhood for the reasons heretofore given and others good and sufficient to us, among which are:—The Republican filing one is always within sight and hearng; it takes a position and vigorous fights to maintain it; its utterances mean something, and its standard answer is a man full of Americanism, full of potential energy, perhaps, a little too srenuous, but as we beave intensely honest and intensely earnest. Some of the monopolies of the country have felt his iron grip, others must obey the laws of go down under his onslaught." HENRY CLEWS GIVES ADVICE. First Voters Why Roosevelt is Sierfer to Voters For Sir to Vote For. Two Western young men who will must first vote for president this past wrote Henry Clews, the veteran banker of New York, asking, "Which is the safer vote to give, a vote for Roosevelt or a vote for Parker?" Mr. Clews replied "Roosevelt" and he has his reasons at length. Herg are some or the facts we set forth to sustain his position: "Roosevelt and his party are of one mind; but Parker and his party are of many and contradictory minds." "You can be sure that Roosevelt and his party will treat the tariff wisely; how Parker and his party will treat the tariff nobody knows out we all fear." "With Roosevelt and his party we are sure of sound money; but with Parker and his party we can only hope for its permanence." "We know that Roosevelt and his party will deal with the trusts seriously and vigorously, as in the past; but how Parker and his party will deal with the trusts no one knows." "Roosevelt and his party will be sure to continue the John Hay policy; but Parker and his party are likely to plunge into the Unknown with paths that lead nowhere in particular." "Roosevelt and his party have always been constitutional; Parker and his party make "constitutionalism" a mask for lack of aggression." "No living man can charge Roosevelt with deceitfulness and nobody fails to know what he is driving at; Parker may not be deceitful but he takes a longer time to show himself open and above-board." WILL NOT RECIPROCATE. Populist Editor and Presidential Elector Refuses to Support Dale. Judge Dale, in his campaign speeches, urges the Populists of Kansas to support their Populist presidential ticket. Joseph A. Wright, editor of the Smith Center Messenger, Pop, is a nominee for presidential elector on the Pop ticket. Naturally Judge Dale would expect the Pop presidential elector to reciprocate by urging the Pops to vote the fusion state ticket. But Wright has balked. In his paper he says: "Will we (the Populists) be bound by our sale .o Wall street?" "No, a thousand times no." "The antagonism of principles between the Democratic party as now controlled by the Parker-Cleveland faction and the People's Party is greater than the differences of principles between the People's Party and the party that nominated Roosevelt. The action of the convention of August 3, 1904, has taken the People's Party of Kansas in the camp of the friends of Wall street and made us the allies of the great corporate interests of the country. It is a well known fact that the great trusts are furnishing the campaign funds for the election of Parker, and is is a disgrace to the People's Party of Kansas that its nominees go on the ballot thus under the Parker heading and in a position where every People's Party voter will be urged to vote the ticket straight, including the trust nominees at the head. "Not only was the People's party led into the party of trusts, but it was led into and dominated by a convention as absolutely under the control of the corporations as any political convention ever held in Kansas. The Democratic convention of August 3, 1904, was managed by the representatives of the railroad companies. The attorneys for the companies were the leaders in every step it ken in that convention. Practically all of the delegates to that convention rode on passes and their action was in accordance to the wishes of the railroad representatives there. It is a part of the general program that one of these attorneys will dominate the action of the entire opposition to the Republican side of the senate during the coming winter, as he did in the house two years ago." NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN. At the state reunion held at Paola recently there was not a single old soldier on the ground who openly declared that he would vote for Parker for president. Mr. Leroy M. Penwell, Topeka's genial undertaker, is one of the advis- WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT 81904. ers at Democratic headquarters. The committee could not have made a more appropriate selection. Forty Populists and Democrats in one township of Lyon county have applied to Republican headquarters to be organized into a Roosevelt and Hoch club, says the Emporia Gazette. The leaders of the Kansas Democracy have not yet complained that their party's danger in this state lies in the over-confidence of the rural workers. Over-confidence is one of the political alliments from which the Kansas Democrats never suffer. Lieutenant Governor Hanna has so far recovered from an attack of typhoid fever that he is able to go on a visit to relatives in Michigan. Governor Hanna had a close call. Once he was right up on the bank of the dark river looking over at the landing place on the other side. The opposition to the Republican party in Labette county is hopelessly divided. At the recent Populist county convention there was a walk-out participated in by William Cook, editor of the Oswego Blade, one of the original Populist newspapers, and a number of his followers. The Republicans will have an easy victory there this year. District Clerk It is indeed, doubtful that Sedgwick County ever had a more business like administration in the office of the District Clerk than it has now under the charge of Mr. Geo. A. Clark the very able clerk of this Court. By appling business methods and system to the conduction of his office Mr. Clark has gained the praise of the Judge, the bar and every one who has occasion to have business with his office. He is friendly and sociable and makes every one who comes in to his office feel at home. Mr. Clark merits the suport of every citizen of our county. County Commissioner Mr. S. B. Kernan, republican candidate for Co Commissioner from the 2nd Commissioners district is a life long republican. He is from the Abraham Lincoln stock of republicans who knows no race or creed. He is a heavy property owner and tax payer in Sedgwick County and will in a fitting manner look after the interest of Sedgwick County from the stand point of the tax payers. For the past two years Mr. Kernan has been a member of the City Council from the First ward and during this time he has amply shown that he makes a wise, judicious and pains taking officials. A vote cast for S. B Kernan is a vote hast for a winning candidate and good business man. TRY THE BLUE SEAL CIGAR SOLD EVERYWHERE W. S. MENRION DRUGGIST 501 N. Main St. Wichita, Kans. AGAINST THE NEGRO Mr. Leslie G. Niblack has been nominated by the democrate and populists of the Third council district of Guthrie, as the candidate for the upper house of the legislature by seclamation. The platform he is running on is the following: "We most emphatically declare our firm belief in a white man's government, and conqemn negro officialism in both county, territory and national affairs, and pledge our united efforts to remove the local disgrace commissioned by elevating vicious and ignorant Negoos to office." FOR COUNTY CLERK A. O. RICHARDS. For the position of County Clerk the Republicans have selected a young man who was reared in our county, Albert C. Richards as the Republican nominee for this office is a young man who has always been a staunch Republican and has done much to hold up the banner of Republicanism. He is new in the role of a candidate, but is confident, as is his friends, that when elected county clerk he will prove satisfactory to all concerned. As to the colored voter he is willing to measure his friendship with that of any and the colored people Will have no reason to regret having caat their vote for A. C. Richards for the office of County Clerk. District Judge There is no man in Sedgwick county who is better and more favorably known than is Hon. Thos. C. Wilson the present Judge of the District Court and the Republican nominee to succeed himself. Judge Wilson is a man who makes friends and has a gift of holding them. As a friend of the colored man he has been tried and found true in every regard. For three years he was probate judge of our county and his ability and as a jurist and a man of attainments secured for him at the hands of the governor of our state the appointment to his present position as district judge Since assuming his present duties he has performed them with such great satisfaction to both litigants and bar that the Republican party unanimously chose him as their candidate to succeed himself, and the selection is a wise one. Judge Wilson's election is assured, the only question is by how large a majority. The Negro and Democracy What reason cau any colored man find to vote the democratic ticket, either national, state or county? What past historical acts or present deeds can any colored man find connected with domocracy that should be a sufficient inducement for him to vote for democracy. While it is not contended that every man who is a democrat is responsible for the deeds of that party against the Negro yet the deebs and acts of the party rs awhols is so numerous that no colored man who has the interest of the race at heart and not personal gain, can swallow the bitter pill by voting to place in power the uery men who are candidates on platforms which pledge them, if elected, to disfranchise the Negro, to set aside separate coaches for the Negro, both on the railroads and street cars and to set aside in distant in convenient places, schools for Negro children alone. Such is the record of the democratic party, and worse, views a colored man going to the polls and voting for men who, if elected, are pledged not to allow the Negro to vote again, and there you have a faint idea of the real democratic party, to say that such is the case over the entire country is simply to say that like begets like. No man, blace or white, will contend that every individual who makes ub the great Republican party is an angel. Neither would we nor would we try to deceive any py saying that every man in the Republican party is a staunch friend to the colored man, but in political matters men do not deal wholly with individuals but largely with parties and principals. We invite a contrast then between the principals of the Republican party and those oulined as the true status of the democratic party. In the national convention at Chicago the Republican party declared itself in favor of equal rights for the Negro, and pledged every candidate in every state from the office of president down, to work if elected to restore to the Negro those rights which the democratic party had taken away from the Negro, and to vouchsafe the preventing the democratic party from taking from the Negro any or further rights. This is the record and history of the Republican party, a party that is a proven and tried friend to Negroes, and one that stood by the Negro when the Negro was unable to help himself. Every act, every law and every sentence which has ever been passed in the interest of the Negro or his welfare in Americais the act of the Republican party. Then why, at this late day, for the sake of financial or personal benefits should the colored men be induced to vote against their interests or against the party which has always proven their friend. Take from the csowning progress of the Negro in America the acts of Republican congresses which passed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments and where would the Negro in America be to-day? What would be their condition? Would they be FREE AMERICANS? Not mnoh? Much bugaboo is made by some colored men who wish to raise excitement about the American Negro being a "free being" and as having a right to vote for whom he may will. We do not dispute this, and neither does any, save the democrats, who NO 23 denies that the Negro has a right to vote for whom he pleases, but they go so far as to even deny that the Negro has a right to vote at all. Can a colored man feel that he is doing himself justice and doing his race good by voting for such men? Then again these colored men who aim to do great things by their ability to raise political excitement dote on reminding us that "thay were born free." So was the editor of this paper, born as free as any other free man, yet we bow in humble submission to those of our fore-parents who had not such a privilege; and hold dear and sacred the memory of the party and men who liberated them and made it possible that we might boast of a free heritage. The time has now passed when the colored man can be thrown into spasms over the exciting narratives of a few selfish politicians. The colored man is a thinker now, and prefers to do his own thinking. With the history of the two political parties to plain before us, who can blame the Negro for voting for the Republican party and its nominees? Our esteemed contemporary, the Jiti Shimpo, expresses the hope that Turkey will lend Russia no assistance. There is no danger. Turkey always borrows One of the most curious things in this world is the fact that everybody who never had it knows of some place where hay fever positively has to go right out of business. Prophet Barton of the Millennium League says the greatest evil in the world is the concentration of money. We still feel, nower er, that our inability to concentrate it is even worse. We are glad to not that Mr. William Waldorf Astor's daughter's steady company has some money of his own. She will be able at least to keep a girl and he won't have to mow the lawn. While President Kruger may not have been specially loved for the enemies he had made, it is worth while to note that at his taking off all the London papers spoke generously of his remarkable career. The latest fad among the fashionables at Newport is to cut from the newspapers all that is printed about one's self and then to paste the clippings into scrapbooks. Of course, it is clearly understood that the fashionables themselves do not do the work. Mr. Claus Spreckles is going to send an Ohio man over to Hawaii to look for an insect that will eat the bugs that eat the sugar cane. It is understood, however, that no effort will be made to kill the trust bug. Mr. David Miley of New York, 103 years old and good for twenty more, attributes his longevity to his simple habits of life. He eats nothing but stale bread and weak soup, puts sugar in his beer, never visits the barber and never uses soap. Under these circumstances we should think he would pray for an early death. Just why even an Indiana scientist should care to manufacture more insects will remain a mystery to those of us who know how vain all mosquito dope is where the fish bite best. It has been discovered that the Marquis of Anglesey had $200,000 worth of paste gems, which were so well made that even experts had to examine them twice before they were able to detect the counterfeit. Why not have the real thing when paste costs nearly as much and looks the same? Some scientific fellow has discovered that gasoline automobiles run better at night than in the daytime. This may be because they don't have to run over so many people and dogs. THE SEARCHLIGHT, W. N. MILLER, Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second - Class Mail Matter.

Lady Curzon's infant daughter cried when it was held in the arms of Queen Alexandra. This will be terribly humiliating to all good Americans who hope to become members of the nobility. An eminent German scientist has come to this country to introduce a new health cure. It is to be hoped that he will try it first on that large class of husky citizens who have both health and money to burn. The announcement that angels were seen to rise from a field in Kentucky and float off into space arouses a suspicion that some of the colonels have been indulging in the dangerous practice of not taking their drinks straight —Detroit Free Press. Girls, it's all right! Judge Weand of Norristown, Pa., has ruled that a girl has a perfect right to sit upon the lap of her lover; that such sitting is her perquisite of the courtship, and that if she chooses to exercise it, it is nobody's business. Come on. It is officially reported that 28,733 persons climbed Bunker Hill monument last year. When it is remembered that the monument has no elevator and that, on a hot day, it is little short of a thousand miles to the top, this speaks well for American patriotism and American physical endurance. The sultan of Turkey has seventy-six titles, but the best plan is to call him with a gun when you want him to respond promptly.

There is one letter in the marriage ceremony the substituting of which by another would induce thousands to marry who are now single, and would give a license for unfaithfulness to thousands who are married. Which is the letter? The letter "V." If you could substitute the letter "K" you alter "So long as ye both shall live" into "So long as ye both shall like." Gulls in United Kingdom. Before the Belfast Natural History society Mr. J. Brown gave reasons for concluding that there are 2,000,000 gulls in the United Kingdom, and that during the herring season each bird destroyed 200 fry a day, or 12,000 during the two months of the season. These, if they had come to maturity, would have been worth £24,000,000.—London Feathered Life. Religion and Labor A man's profession or trade is not only not incompatible with religion (provided it be a lawful one), it is his religion. Earnestness in a lawful calling is not worldliness. A profession is the sphere of our activity. There is something sacred in work. To work in the appointed sphere is to be religious.—F. W. Robertson. Human Foot Grows Smaller. It is asserted by a sculptor that the human foot is becoming smaller. The masculine foot of twenty centuries ago, was about twelve inches long. The average man's foot of to-day is easily fitted with a No. $ 8 \frac{1}{2} $ shoe, which is not more than ten and seven-sixteenth inches in length. Weary Repetition. No sooner does one generation get through with its little part upon the earth when another comes along, doing, thinking and acting the same things. Indeed it's a mighty hand from an exhaustless arm that pours forth the never-ending flood of years. Rarest U. S. Coin. The rarest coin of the United States is not, as many suppose, the silver dollar of 1804, but the double eagle of 1849, of which there is only one in existence, and that belongs to the cabinet of the United States mint. It can not be bought. Tragedies of Love and Life. The end of love is a tragedy, just like the end of life. Both are facts in nature, and must be accepted in the same spirit. A person is no more to be blamed when his love dies than when his body dies.—New York Times. Women Not Wanted. One of the curious social laws of Peru forbids women to attend funerals and they do not appear at weddings (except as one of the principals), unless they are very intimate friends of the contracting parties. Great Catch of Sturgeon. A Milford Haven (England) trawler recently landed twelve fine sturgeon, caught in one haul. Some of them were six feet long. Such a catch has never been known previously.

A London physician thinks that within 100 years all bacteria that are harmful will have been killed, and that the people of the 21st century will live to be 100 years old. Two Kinds of Wives. There are two kinds of wives—one kind thinks her husband is the greatest man on earth and the other thinks she is greater than her husband. --- POULTRY Poultry House Windows. Until very recently windows in poultry houses have never been considered of any importance, except to give light enough to enable the hens to find the roosts and the nests. We have frequently seen good sized poultry houses with a single window, and that placed in a position where the direct rays of the sun could never strike the floor of the house. In a little while such a house becomes foul and full of ammonia gas from the chemical action going on in the moist droppings. One of these in the mind of the writer had its door to the south and its window on the west, where much of the western sun was intercepted by trees and houses. After some months the flock in this house developed a fine case of roup, which carried off 46 birds. This house was finally abandoned as unsanitary. Had there been windows on the east, west and south sides, the house would have been a satisfactory abiding place for the fowls. We notice that a poultry writer advises that in the north there shall be windows on the south side only, and then only one in a house ten feet long. Our practice is to have the house facing the south, and to have windows on south, east and west sides, so that the rays of the sun are in the house all day long. We have yet to be convinced that such houses are enough colder at night to warrant foregoing the extra windows, provided the windows are all tight in the casings. Taking two poultry houses, one with windows on three des and one with windows on one side, and we believe that both would show about the same degree of temperature at night in a cold time in winter. In the day time the one with the most windows would show the highest temperature, especially if the sun were shining. The light on the floor is of great value, as it dries up the moisture connected with the droppings. The fowls also enjoy the direct rays of the sun and will be found lying down on the floor with wings spread out. A well-constructed poultry house should have board shutters, to cover the windows in cold winter nights. These should be so well made and so perfectly adjusted that the air between them and the window sash will be held in place and act as a non-conductor for the heat. The cooling off of the poultry house will thus be retarded. Curtains on the inside are good and can be made of some material that is inexpensive, but not permitting the passage of air. The chief use of these curtains is to prevent the circulation of air in the poultry house. When the house is quite warm after the setting of the sun, the cooling off of the glass starts a circulation of air. The warm air pushes against the glass, cools off and falls, making room for more air. This is why people sitting near a tight window on a cold day feel a draft. Curtains cheek this operation. Pure Bred Stock. The carrier is often confronted with the question of whether he shall purchase pure bred stock or depend on the common stock of the neighborhood for his supply of breeding fowls. The question should be solved somewhat in accordance with the ideal the farmer has of a stock of poultry. If he believes that any care is good enough for the birds and that they should be given no quarters in particular, he may as profitably buy the scrub fowls around him for a nominal price as those of good breeding at a high price. But, assuming that he intends to give them good care, we would say by all means purchase pure bred stock. In his breeding operations he will be able to breed up much more satisfactorily with pure breeds than with mongrels. In the case of mongrels he will have all kinds of tendencies to eliminate, for mongrels contain the blood of innumerable breeds and strains. These differing tendencies will be continually cropping out, and it would take years to eliminate the most undesirable of them. Of course if a man is breeding he must have some object in view, and the attainment of any one object is hindered by the cross tendencies to be eliminated. Is it not better to purchase birds that have been for generations bred toward a certain point? Most assuredly. Whatever object a farmer may have in view in his breeding he can find in the numerous breeds someone that will place him further toward the goal than would be possible with fowls of unknown breeding. There are seventy-one varieties of chickens comprised within the twenty-eight distinct breeds, and surely in these some one variety can be found that will suit the amateur fancier. In buying pure-bred stock it is always advisable to go to the place from which they are to be secured and pick out the birds. There is the advantage of knowing what their surroundings have been and whether other fowls in the same yard are sick or well. We have seen in the yards of some poultry fanciers birds sick with the roop and in the same yards birds that had evidently died with the same disease and which had been left lying where they perished. The writer once bought a dozen chickens that were declared to be healthy. When brought to their new quarters it was found that they were a most disrepu- table looking lot, thin and thriftless, and all of them suffering from severe colds or perhaps roup in a mild form. The birds were promptly shipped back. If fowls are to be purchased the buyer should insist on having only good, plump, healthy fowls, true to color and true to feather. It must be remembered, however, that the pure-bred stock has been carefully reared and cared for and carefully fed, and that it must be handled the same way in the future, if good results are to be looked for. If neglect is to be their portion, it is not likely that they will give even as good results as the mongrels, as their ancestors have not been so accustomed to shift for themselves. Water Glass for Keeping Eggs. Water Glass for Keeping Eggs. Extensive investigations have been carried on for years to determine the best method for keeping eggs. Water glass has been found by far the best preservative. Our readers will do well to give this liquid a trial. There is no patent on the process and any druggist should be able to secure the material for the customer at a fair price. A man with experience in poultry raising can make a success of it with very little capital, but the man with no experience is likely to make a failure with the business no matter how much capital he has. Many a man with capital sits down and figures a fortune out of a poultry establishment and then sinks a large part of his capital in finding out how not to succeed with poultry. Selling Cattle at the Stockyards. The stock is driven from the car onto the receiving platform, and from this it is driven by chutes to the pens in various parts of the yards. One may unload a carload of stock, drive it into an alley adjoining the platform, and thence to any part of the yard desired. Cross gates are at frequent intervals, which will permit one to direct his stock at his pleasure with but little trouble. After the stock is placed in pens it is available for sale. The shipper usually turns it over to a commission firm to sell, although this is not a necessity. Yet one not regularly on the market cannot sell to as good advantage as can the regular dealers. This is because irregular sellers are not in touch with the buyers, so as to secure a wide range of custom. The animals received in stock yards usually reach the market very early in the morning, and by noon the active business of the day is about completed. There are two classes of men in the yards about the pens, the commission men selling and the buyers. The first thing each morning these men inform themselves regarding the quotations on the various classes and grades of stock and the visible supply. If the supply is short and the demand for certain grades is active, then the buyers seek the salesmen; but if the market is dull and indifferent, then the sellers seek the buyers. Where men buy for the packing houses, they receive a daily statement of the slaughter record of the animals purchased by them the day previous—Prof. Chas. S. Plumb. Breeding Hardy Fruits Over a large area of the prairie northwest, many of the fruits grown in the eastern and southern states are deficient in hardiness. This has been demonstrated by thousands of planters. The climatic extremes of the northwestern prairies do not make fruit culture impossible; but care must be taken in the selection of varieties. The fruit lists adopted by the various state horticultural societies give the general experience with varieties. The beginner should confine his first main planting to the sorts which have stood the test, but often the list is so short that the varieties recommended for trial are needed to fill out the list. There is need of extending the present short list of fruits. Successful fruit culture is essential to true home-making upon the open prairies, hence the work of originating hardy fruits is of the highest possible importance. It is only in recent years that the immense importance of plant-breeding has become generally recognized. Plant-breeding means the originating of improved varieties by selection, crossing and hybridizing. These are often termed "new creations," and the work corresponds to that of invention in the domain of the mechanical industries. A strictly hardy winter apple, a hardy cherry or a hardy grape of large size and good quality would be worth millions, of dollars to the prairie northwest.—Prof. N. E. Hansen. Grafting Out Apple Scab. An Illinois apple grower says: I think top-grafting is one of the most efficient methods for getting rid of an apple scab, and I think that this should be known to every orchardist. For instance, where Willow Twig apples, a favorite fruit, have been growing year after year until the scab has become too strong for the success of the tree, the privilege of grafting and putting on another variety of apple on the old stock should be decidedly better than destroying the vigorous growth of the tree and then lose some years of valuable time in growing a new tree in its place. We have as yet a vast amount of unused land, largely marsh land. This has in it great possibilities, and if they are realized we will have the equivalent of millions of acres added to the area of tillable soil. Loading peaches into cars before they have been cooled will bring them to market in a very bad condition. The fruit should be thoroughly cooled before being put into the car.

Called Back to Bohemia The Reverend Bishop Merriman and his wife were seated one morning at their breakfast table looking over the morning mail. Mrs. Bishop glanced up with a little gasp of surprise. "Why, Alee!" she exclaimed, "here's the funniest notice in the morning paper. What do you suppose it means? Listen: 'Heart's Desire.' He's Desire, Heart's Desire. Go back first Seven Days in October. Old H Week in Bohemia. Friends Are Requested Not to Send Flowers.'" "Where's it dated from?" asked the bishop, dropping the Church Courier from his hands. "From Boston—of all places," puzzled the lady. "Well, I'll be—jiggered!" said the bishop. "Why, A-l-e-x-a-n-d-e-r!" gasped the lady with an entirely new kind of a gasp. "Tell me instantly all about it." Whereupon the bishop obeyed in a fine ecclesiastical voice that had probably done more to shape his destiny than had any particular twist of soul or mind. "Why, Heart's Desire," he explained, "is a queer little Bohemian cafe where I used to sport now and then KANSAS STATE BUILDING W KANSAS STATE BUILDING WORLD'S FAIR ST. LOUIS.

Those were gay old days," he added furtively, as after one glance at his wife's sombre face he plunged back conscientiously into the "Mission Notes" of the Church Courier. "Well," said Mrs. Bishop, emphatically, "I knew you used to play on a baseball team, and I knew you'd had the scarlet fever twice, but I never, never suspected that you'd ever been a Bohemian." "Umph!" grunted the bishop over the top of his paper. "Umph! I see that St. John's has raised $8,000 for the Alaskan Indians. Why, there used to be a man back at the Heart's Desire who knew all the Alaskan Indians by their first names. He'd hunted and fished and everything with them; his name was Guthrie, and he was nothing but a child. And there was a pretty girl named Molly something, whom I used to be a bit sweet on, and President Gaston—yes, I declare, he was one of the crowd, too. Goodness, but I'd sort of like to go back there that first week in October." "Let's," said Mrs. Bishop astonishingly across the rim of her coffee cup.—Lippincott's. WORLD'S FAIR ST.
