The Republicans of the various wards of Wichita have made their selections of candidates for the city council and members of the school board and the ticket selected is one of the best ever presented for the vote of the people. In every ward the Republican ticket is composed of strong, capable, and highly efficient men who in the respective offices and wards will be a credit to their constituents and the city as a whole. Every Republican in each ward can vote for their candidate knowing that their choice is well fitted in every way. Below we give a short sketch of the candidates for council in the respective wards: FOR COUNCILMEN First Ward. By a very handsome and appreciative majority of more than two to one the Republicans of the First ward selected Geo. H. Bradfrod as their candidate for the city council to succeed himself. As a member of the city council Mr. Bradfrod has made a clean, straightforward record and the people of the First ward owe it to him that he be returned. Geo. H. Bradfrod is a man who possesses these qualities so much admired by all Americans and that is to "stick for the right." No man ever lived who could cower, coerce or intimidate Geo. H. Bradford from a position which he knew or believed to be right—though much persecuted and made the unprovected target of some who pose as "Holler than Thou" yet Bradford stands today worthy of emulation. With his splendid record as a councilman and his ever interest on behalf of his ward and Wichita, Geo. H. Bradford will be elected in the First ward by a vote that will be a fitting testimonial of the high esteem and confidence in which he is held by the people of his ward. A vote for Geo. H. Bradford is a vote for a man who stands for, with, and by the people. Vote for Geo. H. Bradford. --- Second Ward. In the Second ward by a unanimous voice the Republicans have nominated that commoner and exponent of the rights of the people, Chas. H. Luling, for councilman. As a friend—firm as steel—as an opponent invincible—Chas. H. Luling stands in the Second ward as the rock Gibraltar for stability. By his constant policy for a "square deal for every man" Luling has won a place in the esteem of the people of his ward and of Wichita which would do credit to kings. Without solicitation on his part his party has unanimously made him their choice and in such ringing tones that carry with it a united, harmonious party which means victory, and the election of Chas. H. Luling on Tuesday, April 7th next. It is not a question of his election but of majority. Every man and every woman have resolved to bend every effort to elect Chas. H. Luling by the largest majority ever given any man in the Second ward, and they'll do it. Third Ward. The Republicans of the Third ward have unanimously chosen Mr. A. J. Waddell, the present very efficient councilman from that ward as a candidate to succeed himself. Mr. Waddell has made an enviable record during the past two years and his unanimous selection for re-election proves most conclusively that his ward was well pleased with his record. Mr. Waddell deserves the support of the people of his ward and will be elected by a handsome majority. Vote for Waddell. Fourth Ward. It fell to the lot of the Fourth ward to select two members of the city council this year and by a primary the Republicans named W. M. Paugh, the present capable councilman, for the long term, and Delos P. Woods for the short term. W. M. Paugh. As a councilman from the Fourth ward Mr. W. M. Paugh has made a record of which any man may well feel proud. In the discharge of his duties as councilman, Mr. Paugh has done them without fear or favor and has absorbed himself in the interest of his constituents of his ward. He is a man above reproach, an ideal citizen and a business man. The Republicans of the Fourth ward are to be congratulated on the selection of M. Paugh. He is a Republican, but not a partisan, but one whose interest for his ward are co-extensive with the boundaries of his ward, and whose zeal for the building of a greater Wichita knows no bounds. His re-election, which is assured, will mean that the Fourth ward will still be honored with his presence and receive his valuable service as their representative in the city council. Delos P. Wood. For the short or unexpired term the Republicans of the Fourth ward have named Mr. Delos P. Woods, one of the most progressive citizens in Wichita. Mr. Woods is not a politician, but is a distinctive type of a thorough business man and the Republicans and citizens of the Fourth ward are to be counted fortunate in securing him as one of their councilmen. Mr. Woods has made a success of his own business affairs and possesses that push which crowns with success each venture he makes, and as a councilman from the Fourth ward he will bring success to his ward. Vote for Delos P. Woods. Fifth Ward. The Republicans of the Fifth ward have named Mr. Wm. S. Hadley. Mr. Hadley is a splendid gentleman and a strong Republican and will represent his ward with credit. The people of the Fifth ward will make no mistake in electing W. S. Hadley to the council. J. H. Rice. In the Sixth ward the Republicans completed exhonerated and vindicated their former councilman, Mr. J. H. Rice by again nominating him as a candidate for the city council. Mr. Rice is a splendid gentleman and has been a resident of Wichita for thirty years, more than half of which time he has lived in the Sixth ward. Becoming tired of the continued persecutions piled on him as a councilman by some who could not "handle him," Mr. Rice resigned from the ouncil last spring, and now his unanimous nomination coming fro mils ward so hearty proves that his ward believes him right. Mr. Rice will do in the future as he has in the past—make a splendid, fearless and conscientious councilman. We predict his election by a handsome majority. Chas. T. Barton. For the short term the Republicans of the Sixth ward have named Mr. Chas. T. Barton, a most excellent citizen who will make a capable councilman. SCHOOL BOARD. Above we give the list of members of the school board selected in the various wards. Every man on the entire Republican ticket should be elected by handsome majorities. GRAHAM A FAILURE The record of the mayor of Wichita or any other city is public property, and the people have a right to know and discuss it. Because a man is elected mayor of a city does not place him above public criticism any more than it does a man elected to any other public office. That the mayor of Wichita has fallen far short in the expectations of his most ardent supporters of last spring is conceded by all. That in the execution of the duties of that high office he has proven so far a most disgusting failure is self evident. Never in the history of beautiful Wichita has any man ever been elected mayor who has proven such a miserable and dismal disappointment to the whole people as Wichita's present mayor, Hon. J. H. Graham. Most of his public acts and expressions seem more like they came from a school boy than from the mayor of a town of more than 50,000 people. That the people should repudiate them is but natural. In the campaign waged last spring which resulted in the election of Mayor Graham, his managers made many wild cat promises to get votes, none of which has the mayor put into effect. In large type much was said about giving the people a daily statement of the city's finances. Who has seen one% Much bugaboo was made about "What Graham would do." Now, what has he done? A search of the records will show that by bad management he has plunged the city many thousands of dollars into needless debt which the property owners must pay. It will show that since he went into the mayor's office by bad management he has thrown the affairs of our city into almost a hopelessly embarrassing condition which is growing worse each day he serves as mayor. These are facts. His record on the drainage canal, railroads, waterworks and other equally as important matters has proven his utter inability to cope with the day. In his effort this spring to use the patronage of his office of mayor to defeat the election of the Republican nominees for councilmen in several of the wards of Wichita only more prominently proves his weakness. The men, each of them, Bradford from the first, Lulling from the second, Waddell from the third, Paugh from the fourth, Rice and Barton from the sixth, whom the mayor would defeat for election, if he could, (but he can't) would them elves be far more creditable to Wichita as its mayor than the gentleman who seeks to defeat them in order to better manipulate his plans which have already proven so detrimental to Wichitans. Each of these men are able men, of sterling qualities, aided although they have lived in Wichita many years, the present city administration is the only one to even ever estimate anything to the contrary—people of their own wards still expose utmost confidence in them. As regards the "colored brother" Mr. Graham has given the colored people a jar that they will never soon forget. In the last campaign they were loud in their "private church meetings" to how dearly they loved their "des colored brother" but since Mr. Graham went into office he "left his speech at home" and has overlooked the colored brother. The unprovocated discharge of Officer William L. Herman on the public streets by the mayor to "prove his authority", the unreasonable discharge of William Batts, the reduction of Turnkey W. H. Jones, who lately resigned, the discharge of Jacob McAfee, an honored old soldier, from the city dump, the discharge of Policeman James L. Harper, the iron-clad rules proscribed for the men on the "white wings," the discharge of L. R. Goodseal as former of the "white wings," all point where the mayor blows hardest. It is time for the people to speak by their ballot and this they will do on Tuesday next, April 7th, by electing every man on the entire Republican ticket. The colored people owe it to themselves to vote against any man whom Graham is for because of his treatment of the colored people since he became mayor has been most shameful. ATCHISON KANSAS. We have read your valuable paper, which interests us with the highest joy to read its news. Atchison is one of the garden spots of Kansas. Situated on the Missouri river, between two large cities,—Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo. It is noted for health, pride, grit and grace. When I tell you of one of whom you are well acquainted with, Rev. W. S. Blake, who was poor and lean when we called him to the Shiloh Baptist church in October. He weighed 160 pounds and now he weighs 183 pounds. You may know by this that Atchison is a healthy place. He is making a rapid attempt to build, the Shiloh members a church, which will cost $6.500. Everbody seemingly anxious to follow. He is now in the greatest revival that has been held in Atchison for years. Twenty-six additions up to date. Congregations gather as never before in Chiloh. His collection for the month of March was $115.27. His sermon on Sunday morning was Gal. 5:7, subject, "The Hindered Christian," text, "Ye did run well, who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth." The people were just carried away with the sermon. It will long be remembered in Shiloh. At one o'clock an excellent Sunday school. Our Sunday school is under a great headway to progress, of which Rev. Guyton is superintendent. Prof. Gray taught Rev. Blake's class. The largest class in school. He has about 30 scholars. Prof. Gray lectured to the school. His words were deep and impressive. He is a wide, thoughtful man. In the evening at 6:30, the B. Y. P. U. meet, conducted by Mrs. Susle King, ne of our broad-minded young ladies. At 8 o'clock Rev. Blake, pastor, took her pulp as usual. Rev. Guyton read the scripture lesson, sang and prayed. Rev. Blake then took for his subject, "Brotherliness." Text, Gen. 45:15, "Moreover he kissed all his brethren." Every seat in the house was taken. There was not even staining room. Rev. Blake preached as never did a man preach before. He handled his sermon with care. He said: "Brotherly love found suitable expression in kisses and tears. Genuine love always seeks expression. It can not be kept locked up in the heart. It shows itself in deeds. Christian love toward us was manifested in what he did for us. Roman 5:6-8. The people were enthused to the highest degree of the spirit. Rev. Blake is a great saving power in our midst, liked and adored by all. Mrs. Allie Barnett Carter from Chicago, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Luke Barnett. She is said to be the greatest nurse of Provident Hospital, Chicago. Mrs. Mahala Gamble was up from Leavenworth, visiting her parents and church Sunday. illness among the white people, but not much among ours. not much among ours. Dr. W. H. Hudson, one of the greatest doctors in Kansas, has more callers than he can make among the whites, but he never forgets his own people. He is a man that stands for us in every respect. People are gardening on every side. Mr. Luke Barnett, the potato man of Atchison, has planted many bushels. Rev. Blake has the finest hogs in town. Rev. H. I. Jones dined at the home f. Mrs. B. E. Givens last Sunday. The Tabernacle Baptist church is making preparations for Easter. A BIG BARGAIN—A good Economy steel range, in good condition at a bargain for someone. Inquire WAY TO ENTER PRINTING OFFICE Parties wishing to enter the printing office at this season of the year should be governed by the following rules, says a Kansas exchange: Advance to the Inner door and give three raps. The devil will attend the alarm. You will give your name, postoffice adress and the number of years you owe for the paper. He will admit you. You will advance to the center of the room and address the editor with the following countersign: Hold the right hand about two feet from the body with the thumb and fingers extended, the thumb and index finger clasping a $10 bill, which drops into the open hand of the editor, at the same time saying: "Were you waiting for me?" The editor will grasp your ahnd and the bill, and, pressing it, will say: "You bet!" After giving him the news concerning your locality, you will be permitted to retire, with a receipt for an obligation properly discharged. NO.3 CHEESE IN SALAD IS SAID TO GIVE FINE FLAVOR TO THE DISH. Especial Care Needed in Cooking Meats and Vegetables If Success Would Be Assured—Preparing Fish and Meat A Boston hostess served such a delicious vegetable salad the other night, that in spite of themselves one or two of the guests exclaimed over it. The unusual flavor was given, it seems, by adding a couple of handfuls of cream cheese to the French dressing, which shows that there's a chance yet for something new in salad making. An unusually snappy salad calls for a small cucumber, a boiled beet, a couple of anchovies, two hard-boiled eggs, a boiled potato, 24 big olives and a head of lettuce. Make the French dressing and incorporate the anchovies which have been mashed to a paste, with it. Line the salad bowl with the lettuce and put the various ingredients, all cut into dice, into it. Season with salt and paprika, sprinkle lightly with sherry—about a quarter of a cupful—and turn the dressing over. Toss all together before serving. Even in preparing common salads especial care in cooking the meat and vegetables pays. Fish and meat used in salad should always be cold, and should be allowed to stand for a time covered with oil and vinegar, which should be drained off before the salad dressing is turned on. To blanch vegetables for a salad cut them into the shapes and sizes required and boil each separately for three or four minutes. Then drain, turn into cold water and boil in salted water until tender. Cold, boiled ham furnishes the basis for a tasty luncheon or supper salad. Dice the ham and to a cupful of it allow the same amount of shredded white cabbage, a small cucumber pickle and a pickled button onion, both chopped fine. Make a border center and sprinkle with the minced pickle. Dress with oil and vinegar and garnish with olives and Spanish red peppers. Celery, green peppers, apples and a slice of onion cut up together make an appetizing dinner salad. Garnish it with radishes and dress with oil and vinegar and a dash of paprika. Another novelty is made of pimentos and cold boiled string beans mixed. An Egg Sandwich Worth Eating. The proprietor of a very small, clean, tastefully tidy and exclusive restaurant near the upper boundary of the Tenderloin serves an egg sandwich between 11:30 and 1:30 every week day that is attracting more customers than he can accommodate, says the New York Press. For each sandwich two small yellow dishes (fireproof earthenware) are used and an egg at least a week old is shirred in each. When just right one of the eggs is plastered over about a quarter-inch thick with ground-up ham knuckle, seasoned with butter and pepper. You know the knuckle of a boiled ham becomes very hard in a few days. It is the choice part of the ham, and while difficult to cut with a knife, is easily ground. The second egg is quickly inverted and dumped upon the first. The ham is between the two, and the sandwich is served red hot in the first dish, the second acting as a cover to be removed at the table. Price, 25 cents. Dixfield Cake. One cup sugar, one-half cup lard or drippings, one egg (or more), one-half cup molasses (scant), one teaspoon each salt, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, $2 \frac{1}{2}$ cup flour, two teaspoons baking powder. Cream the sugar and lard. After the ingredients are all mixed add one cup of boiling water. Bake slowly. Old Stockings. In a family where there are no children for whom to refront stockings the housewife is apt to find an accumulation in the mending basket. Take several tops, having removed the feet, and sew together, then fold over and sew across the bottom as for a bag, then down the sides, then turn to right side and sew across the top, and one has a dust cloth that will not scratch the polished furniture or floors. Be careful to sew so seams will be on inside and no ravelings will remain. Gas Se eee Sereeceeeeaciemen seer ae —— am, - + care (60) untae meres WON.

FRANK W. WILLIAMS. COMPANY, 1208 W. Taylor St, Chicago, Tl. ‘The fact that the city administra- tion is “turning heaven and earth” in order to defeat Geo. H. Bradford in the Firts ward is the strongest reason pos- sible why Mr. Bradford should receive the vote of every voter in the First ward. A vote for Bradford is a vote for government by the people and not by one man. Chas. H. Luling, Republican candi- @ate for councilman from the Second ward needs no introduction in that ward. The people know Mr. Luling to be a man of ability, well fitted, and with all the qualifications to make a good councilman. Although he is slated as one of the intended victims of Mayor Graham and his Independent League (7) yet Mr. Luling will be elected by a handsome majority. A yote for Luling ts right. + The clean record made by Council- ‘man A. J. Waddell of the Third ward during the past two years is a shinning testimonial of his splendid ability and 4g the strongest argument that can be ‘produced why he should be re-elected. ‘Vote for Chas. H, Luling for council- man from the Second ward. Cast your yote for Delos P. Woods from the Fourth ward. No man was ever elected to the city council who {8 more honest, straight- forward and trustworthy than is Geo. H. Bradford, Republican candidate of the First ward. Because Mr. Bradford had the man- hood to stand for the right Mayor Graham and his Independent League (2) propose his defeat (nit). Mr. Bradford need not fear from the attacks made on him by this “Holter Than Thou” aggregation. The people of the First ward will elect him by a majority of which any man may well feel proud. | In the Sixth ward the people demon- strated that they are capable of saying who should represent them and have renominated Mr. J. H. Rice. Mr. Rice with Mr, Barton will be elected by fandsome-madorities, With W. M. Paugh and Delos P. Wood in the city council the Fourth ward will have two representatives of whom they may well feel proud. WILL FIGHT 'EM. It is given out in political circles that the city daministration will seek to de- feat the following republican candi- dates for the council: Geo. H. Brad- fora, First ward; Chas. H. Luling, Second ward; A. J. Waddell, Third ward; W. M. Paugh, Fourth ward, and J. H. Rice, Sixth ward, It may be said to these gentlemen's credit that ‘the harder the administration fighhts ‘them the bigger will be thelr majority. W. M. Paugh is tho right man to vote for the long term in the Fourth ward. | 9 e A MEAN PERSON. “pace pride” who will pay every Dill ex- cept the subscription to his Negro pa- ‘per?

Although insanity is his sole defense, no alienists have been called, no one has testified to hereditary taints, and no mention has been made of brainstorm or exaggerated ego. The witnesses have all been ordinary citizens who have met him in everyday life. Sam Hoff, ex-sheriff and member of the legislature, testifies that he believes Holmes insane, because he wants a bath every day and is scrupulous about his dress. George Stryker, another ex-sheriff, says that Holmes would have a roaring toothache evenings, but would be all right mornings, which, coupled with the fact that he turned his gas in jail at 8 p.m. and went to sleep, though the rules allowed him to have it going till 9, proved madness conclusively. The only departure from the home-made brand of evidence was when Holmes' attorney argued that, as all the masters of music, art, litreature and politics had been more or less crazy, Holmes must undoubtedly be so. One telling argument was adduced—the prisoner ate breakfast foods! However, remarks the New York Post, no one thought to point out the most conclusive proof of all, namely, that, if he had not been insane, Holmes never would have embezzled merely $700. The Man We Envy. In one of his plays, Bernard Shaw remarks that "the man with the toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound, and the poverty-striken man makes the same mistake about the rich man." So it is with most things. One always feels that the thing one does not possess, or the thing one cannot do, is the one thing essential to happiness. The unsuccessful think the successful must be happy. The invalids think if they had health nothing else would matter. The laboring man thinks if he only had leisure he would be content. But, fortunately, happiness is not the prerogative of any class of people or station in life. No doubt some are gifted with a haplier and more cheerful temperament than others, says the New York Weekly, but one's point of view is really largely a matter of habit, and the thing to do is to try and get into a habit of letting one's thoughts dwell on the pleasant things of life as much as possible and forget its worries as soon as may be. "A nobleman who becomes the husband of an American heiless enters into the marriage with a proper respect for his bride. He does not crave the alliance because of the financial reasons, but because he is dominated by the overwhelming beauty and fairness of the American girl. He is carried away by her philosophy, her logic, her irresistible and fascinating mien," says an Austro-Hungarian visitor in Washington. Be-oo-tiful! But why, asks the Baltimore American, is it that only girls with the largest sort of fortunes have the peculiar brand of philosophy, logic and irresistible and fascinating mien at appeal to the foreign aspirants for American wives? It is inspiring to read that the Association of Master Plumbers is animated by the noble desire to mitigate human suffering and lessen disease by improving the standard of plumbing. The enthusiasm with which the average citizen greets this sentiment gets something of a jolt, however, with the further announcement that by giving the people sanitary plumbing the organization will be able to command peace that will pay its members for the good work they do. Dear, dear, and most of us thought we had been caring enough to secure that kind of work all the time! Even the Arabian Nights contains nothing more gorgeously weird than the story which comes from Alabama concerning one Smith who ran half a mile to a doctor, his head fastened to his neck only by a shred of flesh. Smith might have tooted his top piece much more easily had he sawed it entirely off and carried it in a bag along over his shoulder. A Philadelphia newspaper consigns Chicago to outer darkness because of the alleged fact that the Auditorium water is to be pulled down. Before forming its opinions even a Philadelphia newspaper should get the facts in the case. The Pennsylvania railroad has received notice on the steel trust to fur- nish it rails without blowholes. Holes are endurable in bread and cheese and lace insertion, but the present rail- road traffic is so heavy that it leaves items in rails that are spongy. Mr. Whitaker is modest. The Eng- lance fortune he seeks amounts to only $0,000,000. Few people attempting collect a mythical chancery estate and give up a penny of their claims such a sum. The Resurrection of Chang By Broughton Brandenburg Chang Jen Yuan in later years could never quite figure out what had been the cause of the strange sensation or why everything had suddenly turned black. Maybe it had been too free use of his pipe and the "cooking" lamp. was showing his side of the w breath of the slight elevation Early in Jur toria were am awn a woman Chinatown accepted the news as a matter of courses. That any one should doubt that the spirit of Chang Jen Yuan had not flown was never dreamed of. Had not the devil doctors of the colony said so? Had they not straightened the road for the departing spirit? So Chang Jen Yuan had been borne away to one of those half dozen barren rooms in the remote recesses of Chinatown which were used for the sole purpose of dying in, each one being used with a view of having the departing unfortunate as far away from the company headquarters as possible, and thus eschew bad luck for the family in proportion to the distance. It may have been the slamming of the door, but something woke the officially and geomantically dead man instantly the watcher had departed. And it may be that the long sleep, the reaction from the opening and the sea-pregnant wind from the south combined to renew his strength in that mysterious way so often observed in those sick as was he. He felt stronger than he had for weeks, and he recognized the need of a large jar of tea and a few bowls of rice. The intermittent hunger of the opium-user was upon him. So he made his way out through the unillumined hallways of the Doyers street tenement and down to the street. So keen was his animalistic instinct that his actual relation towards his fellows occurred to him not at all till he slid into a corner seat at his favorite restaurant nearby and shouted for the foods of his desire, pledging his credit in the same breath. "I am honored, worshipful," began the proprietor in his stereotyped answer from where he was waiting on another table, his back turned to Chang. Just then he turned his head and saw who was ordering. There was a crash of wares, a shower of chow main and a splash of tea mingled with the thud of a fat man falling over backward in a sudden effort to get turned around, bow, and fall on his knees at the same time. The guests at the other table looked. One was the consulting expert of the board of condemnation. Instantly, amid a clatter of falling stools, five personages much superior to the poor chilook in ordinary with on their knees bumping the floor with their heads. The nimble wit of the old geomancer was too quick for the chi-look. At least, if he had never seen a living, walking, talking member of the holy band of Heavenly Ancestors he had read in the ancient books the stories of men who had, and he knew from that how to behave. Thrusting his hand inside his jacket he came forward with rare genuflections, and drawing forth a crushed thing, blew in one end of it, and laid on the plate before the hungry Chang a red and holy paper fowl such as are always served to the dead. In a bowl he sprinkled a handful of chopped paper cubes and the rice was ready. Then a torrid wave of Chinese anger swept over him, and he vented shocking sentiments concerning the gods, the ancestors and the lacks of virtue of the worshipers before him, in fact, everything in general. At this instant two of the Tongs of Waiters on the Dead appeared, and Chang was reverently and prayerfully kicked into the street. Next door, Tom Lee, the mayor, was holding a hasty consultation with the three doctors who had condemned the poor chi-look, the death-walter who had tended him, and the head of the Chang family company. The doctors said he must be dead because they had condemned him, the watch said he was dead because when he had last seen him he was not alive and the Chang chief was certain he was dead because he had already paid the death-walters and had ordered the funeral. A few minutes after an eager group scanned a small red strip of paper-on the municipal bulletin board, which officially and irrevocably pronounced Chang Jen Yuan to be of earth no more. It might have added "and govern yourselves accordingly," but it did not. Meanwhile Chang had considered until he had a plan. He rose and started off, showered with prayers and blessings and good luck signs from every side, none of which he heeded. At dawn next morning any one who had been abroad in the desolate tide flats beyond Astoria might have seen a toterting, bedraggled Chinese, bearing a small bundle, with a hunted look in his eyes, picking his way across a lonely bog to a hut on a higher spot where once a gang of Italian laborers had made rendezvous while laying an oil main. When the track-walkers along the railroad saw smoke rising from the distant shanty in a day or two they surmised some stray unfortunate had squatted down there. By and by they noticed that the abandoned garden the cook for the Italians had started was showing bright green in the sunny side of the windy knoll, where the breath of the sea poured against the slight elevation all day long. Early in June, housekeepers in Astoria were amused to see a spry little man, a crownless derby on his head, wearing a gunny sack cut into a coat and a much-patched pair of overalls, knocking at their back doors and asking if they wanted any nice, fresh radishes, lettuce and the like. This he said with a childlike smile, turning back the newspaper cover of a very dilapidated clothes basket he had picked from some dump. Thence he came every day, and in an incredibly short space of time it took a rickety old green spring wagon and a sorrel horse that was so decrepit that it was easier for him to go sideways than forward, to deliver all the green stuff demanded, for it was very good truck indeed. Next, at some unrecorded period Sammy Pipnet, who may have been whole-witted but had never shown much intelligence except at mealtime in all his 17 years, appeared driving the wagon and vending the wares. About the first of August, instead of Samuel, the green wagon and the old sorrel nag, there came an equally old brown wagon and white steed, while in the plump-faced Chinese who handled the reins as if they were kite-strings few could have found any trace of Chang Jen Yuan, the withered tubercular skeleton who had come to the hut in the bog, creeping like a pariah. Perhaps it was the wholesome toll in the open air and the absence of opium, but the creases were gone from his brow, his arms were thick and strong and the dance of his eyes and the baby smile of his mouth told of his entire well-being. Some of the workings of the Chinese mind can be understood, when it is said that one very hot Sunday afternoon there came lumbering up Third avenue a heavily loaded green wagon that threatened to sink to the pavement every time the wheels turned, drawn by the sorrel antiquity and driven by Chang of the Garden of Benevolence, dressed in a new suit of American clothes, with the shelf creases still plain, while on the back of his head, covering his queue, perched a jaunty Panama. Across his rounded front lay a heavy gold watch chain, and barely showing from either side trousers pocket was the hilt of a huge pistol. The vegetable wagon was hours late, and an excited throng of anxious buyers filled the crook of Doyers street while the usual Sunday influx of laundrymen laffed about, scenting A Bedraggled Chinese Bearing a Small Bundle. something of interest. Seeing the crowd, a squinting glint came into the little eyes of Chang Jen Yuan. Around from Peil street there came with all haste that was compatible with dignity the head of the Chang family and two of the board of condemnation. The buyer for the Chang house made a lane and ushered the new arrivals in with ceremony. To their fulsome obseiances to the spirit of the dead Chang Jan Yuan paid not heed beyond bending a hard, scornful eye upon them. Then the Chang chief advanced with more ceremony and began picking out the vegetables his buyers wanted. The minutes passed with the throng still clustered, silent and eager, the tension growing momentarily. The buyer had all he wished, and, turning to the devil-doctor, the Chang chief took from him a handful of dead-man's money and, laying it on the seat of the wagon, was about to turn away when he was held rigid by the cold glitter of two pistols leveled at his head by his former chilook. "Forgive my importunate avarice, my cherished cousin, but I want $4.60 in money of the white devils," said Chang Jen Yuan. The Chang chief heard and saw, and digging deep down in his flopping trousers, he drew up a thick roll of bills, extracted a five-dollar greenback, laid it on top of the dead man's money, and walked away. An hour later a procession issued from the Chang company headquarters and moved in slow state to the josshouse. Chang Jen Yuan marched at the head, his face solmn but his eyes dancing; behind him, a trifle sham-faced, came all the heads of the clan. With much incense and gongs till midnight a new joint was put into the doctrines of Confucius and Chang Jen Yuan entered on his second life. Any Child Can Do It—The Result is Almost Like Magic—Useful, Too. Anything in the nature of a chemical experiment is always interesting and usually educative. Here is a simple experiment which any child can perform and which is instructive in a very practical way: Get a bit of White Lead about the size of a pea, a piece of charcoal, a common candle in a candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop out a little hollow in the charcoal to hold the White Lead, then light the candle, take the charcoal and lead it one hand and the blow-pipe in the other, with the large end of the blow-pipe between the lips; blow the flame of the candle steadily against the bit of White Lead on the charcoal and if the White Lead is pure it will presently resolve itself into little shining globules of metallic lead, under the intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving no residue. If, however, the White Lead is adulterated in the slightest degree, it will not wholly change into lead. So, it will be seen, that this experiment is not only an entertaining chemical demonstration, but also of practical use in the home. White Lead is the most important ingredient of paint. It should be bought pure and adulterated and mixed with pure linseed oil. That is the best paint. The above easy experiment enables anyone to know whether the paint is the kind which will wear or not. The National Lead Company guarantee that white lead taken from a package bearing their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will prove absolutely pure under the blow-pipe test; and to encourage people to make the test and prove the purity of paint before using it, they will send free a blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on paint to anyone writing them asking for Test Equipment.

"A negro just loves a watermelon," said Representative Johnson of South Carolina. "Strange, too, that when a policeman sees a negro with a melon at an unreasonable hour he has it right down that the darky has stolen that watermelon. I heard a story about a policeman who met a negro in the early hours of the morning, and he had a big melon on his shoulder. "I see you have a melon there?" "Yes, sah,' answered the darky. Tse got er melon; but Ise fixed for you, sah,' and pulling out a paper he handed it to the officer, who read: 'This bearer of this is O. K. He paid me ten cents for the melon, and he is a pillar in the church. James Elder.' "You are fixed,' said the officer. "Dat's what I 'lowed,' answered the negro, and he moved on."—Washington Herald. How Her Life Was Saved When Bitten By a Large Snake. How few people there are who are not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake fell on the wheel of an automobile which was being driven by a woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, left to its own resources, ran into a stone wall and caused a serious accident. The bite of a poisonous snake needs prompt attention. Mrs. K. M. Fishel, Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa., tells how she saved her life when bitten by a large snake. "On August 29, 1906, I was bitten on the hand twice by a large copper-head snake. Being a distance from any medical aid, as a last resort I used Sloan's Liniment, and to my astonishment found it killed all pain and was the means of saving my life. I am the mother of four children and am never without your Liniment." Mother's Modest Demands. Lawyers will take almost any case, and Chicago lawyers, it seems, will take anything. A Chicago woman put her son in a children's home there, and is now bringing suit because they cut off the boy's curls. "Every curl was worth $1,000 to me," she says, "and they gave him a bath, too, against my wishes. He is a delicate child and bathing makes him sick. I haven't given him a bath since a year ago Christmas." She will ask $15,000 because of the curls and bath. WELL. Huh! Your mother takes in washin'." "You didn't suppose she'd leave it hanging out forever did you?" Deafness Cannot Be Cured Dearness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach a dispassioned portion of the mucous surface away to the extent that it is by constitutional remedies. Dearness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this condition is perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Dearness is the result, and thus the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. But out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. How some women do enjoy taking a whack at some other woman's reputation!

There is nothing meaner on earth than a dog poisoner, unless it be another dog poisoner. All dreams will not be sweet dreams until all dreamers are blessed with good health and good food. How true it is that those who drink to-day to drown their sorrows go down with them to-morrow. How few people there are who really know how to choose their enjoyment without injury to themselves.

Purloiner of Cake of Soap Makes Restitution After Twenty Years. Imagine a conscience that would span 20 years and drive a man to remember a theft of a cake of soap. That there is such a conscience, however, is proved by the receipt a few weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a storekeeper in a little town in Minnesota. Twenty years ago this man, Edward Hamilton, had a small store in St. Paul. In front of his establishment he had a showcase in which he displayed several large cakes of soap of special make. One morning he found the glass broken open and one of the cakes of soap missing. The theft was so small that the matter was never reported, and Hamilton had forgotten it, till he received a letter from the thief, which read: "Dear Sir: I send you two cakes of soap in payment for one I took from your showcase in St. Paul many years ago. I recently saw your advertisement in a country paper and learned of the change of your place of business. I regret deeply having taken the soap, and trust that this which I send will satisfactorily take its place."—Sunday Magazine. PRESCRIBED CUTICURA "Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months' treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907." How to Raise Boys.

The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome, old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy.

Chicago.—Miss Franc Kingsnorth, an artist's model, was led blindfolded into a room filled with cadavers the other day and was photographed for a picture to be entitled "Asleep with the Dead." She fainted when the bandage was removed and her eyes opened on the grewsome, grinning bodies that surrounded her. Her collapse was followed by hysterics in which she screamed and struggled to free herself from what seemed to her a living tomb, until she fell into an unconscious heap on the floor of the anatomical laboratory. For hours after her experience she was in a precarious condition at the home of a physician, whither she was removed following the scene created as the result of an effort to obtain a photograph that would eclipse all the imaginative horrors conceived by art. Miss Kingsnorth previously had nerved herself to waltz with an articulated skeleton, and to pose with the same boney remnant of a departed man upon her lap, and several pictures were taken, but when asked to enter the anatomical room for another picture she demurred. When told she was to be blindfolded and not to open her eyes when the bandage was removed, she agreed without further explanation. A handkerchief was fastened over her eyes. A white gown was draped around her. She was then led into a room occupied until then only by the embalmed bodies of the dead. Dead men leaned against the walls around the room. The heads of human beings were perched on shelves here and there. It was a room full of cadavers. In the center was a couch. She Uttered a Terrified Scream. Miss Kingsnorth was led to the couch and told to assume a position as though asleep. When she was posed the scene was one that eclipsed the picture, famed in the medical world, entitled, "The Medical Student's Dream." Leaning over the face of Miss Kingsnorth a cadaver was placed, its hands outstretched, its eyes peering into hers. Another was at her feet, the lifeless hand clasping her toes. Beside her, a skeleton was stretched. All around the couch were poised cadavers, some kneeling, some reclining on the couch. Above were placed human heads, all contributing to a scene of horror of which Miss Kingsnorth had never dreamed. "Asleep with the dead" was the setting. Miss Kingsnorth was far from asleep, but her eyes were blindfolded and she could not see the company that had been thrust upon her. "Now keep your eyes shut when I take off the handkerchief," the man said to her, as the photographer prepared to take the picture. The handkerchief was removed and Carson took one flashlight picture. Then he tried another. As he did so the young woman's eyes opened. Staring into her face she saw the figure of a dead man. At her feet she saw another. All around were the seeming specters. She uttered a terrified scream and fell back. She rallied before the scenario could be removed. "Oh, let me out, let me out," she screamed, struggling to free herself. As rapidly as possible they removed the cadavers and Miss Kingsnorth rushed frantically around and around the room, screaming at the top of her voice. Efforts to restrain her were futile and she finally fell exhausted. Dr. Wilcox was summoned. When the latter reached the laboratory the woman was in a dead faint, from which she did not rally for hours. All Gone. Papa—What became of the hole I saw in your pants? Willie—It's worn out.—Judge. LANGUID AND WEAK. A Condition Common with Kidney Trouble and Backache. Mrs. Marie Slipfle, 416 Miller St., Helena, Mont., says: "Three years ago my back grew weak and lame and I could not stoop without a sharp pain. It was just as bad when I tried to get up from a chair. I was languid and listless and had much pain my back grew weak and lame and I could not stoop without a sharp pain. It was just as bad when I tried to get up from a chair. I was languid and listless and had much pain and trouble with the kidney secretions. This was my state when I began with Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me from the first and four boxes made a complete, lasting cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. The Spring Opening. The dazzling creation of birds and wire in the millinery department was marked $15. The circle of shoppers gazed in envy but not one stirred. Suddenly the clerk reversed the card and displayed the figures $14.49. Then there was a small riot. Shoppers fought like amazons to reach the counter. "Ah," laughed the tall floorwalker, "those ladies remind me of olden knights." "In what way?" asked the meek man who was waiting for his wife to emerge from the crush. "Why, they fight at the drop of a hat." And before the meek man could appreciate the point of the joke his wife came out minus a comb and two locks of hair.

Bldg., Chicago. Any one interested may obtain a free copy by applying to the Department. Woman's Secret. Every woman has a secret that she will not tell her neighbors. If she is of the housekeeping kind of woman it is a secret connected with good bread making, or a certain way of testing jelly. Or maybe it is a secret whereby she can make coffee that her neighbors despair of equaling. If she is a vain woman, it is a secret of putting on face powder so that it does not show, or the secret of making some kind of lotion that will take off sunburn. Don't say that a woman cannot keep a secret. — Atchison Globe. Woman's Rule. It is becoming more and more evident that women mean to have and will sooner or later, gain the suffrage, which all thoughtful persons of both sexes are coming to see is only a reasonable claim, but one could wish that men would accede to it in a more generous spirit, and that women would plead for it in womanly fashion, and without treating man as if he were the sole possessor of all the vices.—Lady's Pictorial.

ANOTHER FARMER REALIZES $22.50 PER ACRE FROM HIS WHEAT CROP LAST YEAR. Charles McCormick of Kenville, Manitoba, writes: "During the season of 1907, I had 100 acres in crop on the S. W. quarter of section 18, township 35, range 27 west of the Principal Meridian, Western Canada, yielded as follows: "80 acres at 22 bushels per acre, which I sold for 90 cents per bushel; and 20 acres oats yielding 60 bushels per acre I sold for 35 cents per bushel so that my total crop realized $2,004.00. From this I deducted for expenses of threshing, hired help, etc., $400.00, leaving me a net profit on this year's crop of over $1,600." Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Saskatchewan, says: "The value of my crop per acre of wheat is $22.50. I threshed 1,750 bushels of wheat from 70 acres, and was offered 90 cents a bushel for it. Oats, 15 acres, 500 bushels; and barley, 5 acres, 80 bushels. I do not know if I have been doing the best in this district, but I know if all the farmers were doing as well, Western Canada would have no kick coming as far as grain growing is concerned; and I further say that if you want to put this in one of your advertisements, this is true and I can put my name to it." Both in Same Plight. "My friends dragged me into this wretched affair!" shiveringly said the first duelist to his adversary, as the seconds approached with the deadly weapons. "I never pulled the trigger of a pistol in my life; so, if I hit you it will be an accident!" "Nor is this awful duel to my liking!" whined the challenger, white to the gills. "Like you, a pistol is a strange article to my hands, and if I shoot, you it will be with a stray shot!" "Then, for heaven's sake," exclaimed the first duelist, with a ray of hope, "let's aim carefully at each other, or one of us may get hit!"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. NEURALGIA The real meaning of the word Neuralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who has suffered with the malady will not be so anxious to know of its nature as to hear of its antidote. Though scarcely recognized by the profession and people half a century ago, it is now one of the most common and painful alliments which afflict humanity. As now generally understood the word signifies an affection of the nervous system, with pain in the course of the principal nerves. The two great causes of Neuralgia are, Impoverishment of the Blood and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and the treatment of it is not so obscure as many would be led to suppose. The first thing is to relieve the pain, which is done more quickly and satisfactorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by any other remedy named; the second object is to remove the cause, which is accomplished by the abundant use of nourishing food, of a nature to strengthen and give tone to both the muscular and nervous systems.

We notice in the notes from Washington Temple No. 25, and Eureka Temple No. 23, that they intend to carry off all contesting drill prizes. We can only say that we are sorry that their nerve has been worked up to such a pitch, because after the Grand Session is over they are liable to be a nervous wreck. For Sir Brown D. M., of Atchison will be the cause of their defeat. We are not all asleep. Dr. G. G. Brown and his co-partners card in the Searchlight, certainly look good to us. And an other good idea, we notice, in Dr. Brown, and that is, he always manages somehow or an other, to get invited to those clubs where there is luncheon served, con- sisting of turkey and strawberry shortcake, etc. A very interesting program was rendered at the A. M. E. church Sunday eve, March 29. Rev. Blake of Shilo Baptist church, has just closed a very successful revival, there being twenty or more added to the church. Dr. W. H.

In the death of Sir Paul Gi les the Order of Twelve has lost one of its brightest lights. Though separated from us in body we will cherish him in our hearts and memory and imitate his Christ-like example, trusting our loss is heaven's gain. While we recognize that God is good and permits afflictions to come upon us only in love, yet we realize that the heart cannot altogether forget its own wounds and while we realize that words are inadequate we extend our deepest sympathy to the grief stricken family, Temple, and immediate friends of our beloved Sir Knight with the fervent prayer that He who ruleth the great Temple of the universe that is made without hands may comfort their great sorrow.

May God bless our Grand Chiefs in their noble works. Fair West Tabernacle is progressing nicely under the leadership of Dtr. Robinett. We are making new members and are having a very little sickness. KINGMAN. KAN. John Floyd left Sunday to spend a few days in Wichita. Mrs. John Vaughn expects to spend about three weeks in Paris, Mo. The wedding bells will soon be ringing. Mrs. C. E. Floyd and Mrs. Porter were the pleasant guests of Mrs. Robt, Davis. Mrs. H. F. Frazier, president of the Southwestern District W. H. & F. M. Society, delivered one of her best addresses at the Tabernacle Baptist church last Sunday evening. Wichita should truly feel proud of this scholarly woman. Mrs. Sarah Joinson of Peublo, Colo, enroute to Vinita, Oklahoma, stopped over a few days and visited Mr. George Daniels and Mr. and Mrs. E. Landrum. Miss Marie Murrant returned to her home in Great Bend, Kan., last Monday evening. Miss Murrant made many friends while in the city, especially among the church people. Mrs. Elizabeth Inram who has been on the sick list for sometime is improving. REUNITED BY A REVIVAL BY MRS. EVA HORTON "Goin' to meetin' to-night?" "Fraid I can't to-night." "What's to hender?" "I've been every blest night for two weeks, and Jason and the boys are all out at the elbows. I've got to stay home long enough to get 'em mended up." "My stockin'-bag's full, but I tell 'em I can't stay home from them meetin'!" Aunt Huldy, called so more from her placid, matronly manner than her age, was scraping a plate of breakfast refuse to her chickens. They snatched it from one another with the greed of a modern monopoly and gulped it down with soft, quick clucks of satisfaction. She flicked off the last bit of friend hominy and went to the fence to get within range of her neighbor, Mrs. Dill. That lady had come out to empty her dish-water around the grapevines. She rolled her bare arms up in her gingham apron and went over to the low picket fence, where she and Aunt Huldy had many a fence council. "You see, I can kill two birds with one stone," she said. "I can take care of Rosina's baby and do my mending at the same time. He sleeps all the evening—I've kept' him two or three times. He's a splendid baby, and to think his grandpa's never seen him!" "I know it!" ejaculated the other; "I tell 'em it's a shame! He a church member and never speakin' to his only girl for six years because she married the son of a man he had a grudge against! I tell 'em I do' know what he's made of." "Well, I don't care," said Mrs. Dill. "Rosina's done as well as any girl in this place, if her father has turned her off. See what a nice little home they've got. Course it had a little mortgage, but Will's payin' it off right along. He works early and late, an' he's straight as a string, Will Carr is." "I tell 'em Rantz Emmett must be as stubborn as a mule to hold a grudge so many years." "Stubborn! It's no name for it. Think of a man drivin' his only boy away to sea an' never readin' one of the letters he sends! Ross wasn't a bad boy either; just a little wild an' hasty. I alwus think it depends on yourself whether you rouse the angel or the devil in your boy." "Poor Susan! She don't say much, but that broke her heart. An' how she ever stood it when he turned Rosina off. I tell 'em I don't know!" She wiped off a stray tear with the corner of her apron. The other shook her head doubtfully. "I do' know," she said. "His face looks so white an' set in the meetin' s, I tell 'em it 'most scares me to look at it." Mrs. Dill gave a triumphant nod. Rosina and her husband were a little late at the meeting that night. One of Mrs. Dill's boys had come in on the train from an adjoining village, and she had waited to get him well started on his supper before going over. "I ain' got time for more'n a bite; I don't want to miss that song service,' he said, as he sat down to a hasty meal. "A stranger got off here—one of them reports again, down from the city, I s'pose. There was a long piece in yesterday's Times about our revival, so somebody told me on the train." "Reporter, eh?" said his mother, starting off to her evening's mission. "Well, I hope there'll be an entry good meetin' to report." Somehow she was full of joyful expectancy, as she hurried over to Rosina's, her arms filled with mending and her mind and heart with thoughts and prayers for her neighbors and friends. Being late, the Carrs slipped quietly into the first pew in which there happened to be two vacant seats, well toward the door. Opposite they saw the reporter of whom Mrs. Dill had told them. The church was full of people. The fame of the Tumsawogue revival had spread through the surrounding country, and people living within driving distance came from all directions. The whole community was drinking in that air of God which made their vices nauseate them. A Portuguese sea captain rose to give his testimony. Then at a signal from the leader they all sang "I Need Thee Every Hour" with bowed heads. When Rosina Carr lifted her eyes she saw, standing in a pew a short distance ahead, shaking like an aspen leaf and holding the pew in front to steady himself, her father. There was a hush of awe, a thrill of expectancy throughout the room. Many a woman's head went down upon the pew before her. The soul of the whole community had for weeks joined in prayer with Susan Emmett for her husband. Rosina began to shake, until her husband put his calm, quieting hand on her arm. The reporter in the opposite seat leaned forward, surveying the scene apparently with intense interest and sympathy. The old man essayed to speak, but his throat seemed dry, and no words came. One trying minute he stood there unable to utter a word, while the air about him pulsed with sympathy. With a great effort he cleared 4 his throat, and the words began to come, slowly at first, then pouring, driving, rushing like an avalanche. "Brethren," he said, "I've been a Pharisee of the Pharisees. I thought I could be a Christian and hold hate in my heart. I 'spected God to forgive me, 'thout my forgivin' them that wronged me. I let my ha'sh feelin' toward a weak human bein' pizen my heart to the hull o' God's children. I let my hard feelin' fill me right up to the brim. They shut my lips in prayer meetin'; they made a beast of me in my home. Nobody knows how mean an' contemptible an' ha'sh an' domineerine' I've been 'cept Susan here'—he turned his eyes to his wife's; she was looking straight and steadily into his face, her lips smiling and quivering, her whole face shining with inward emotion. At sight of his wife's face Rantz Emmett's lips broke into a tender smile and his whole face worked with the force of his feeling. "God!" he groaned. "What divillish thing is there left that I ain't done? I've drove my only boy away from home by my ugliness; I've turned my WILLIAM "Brethren," He Said, "I've Been a Pharisee of the Pharisees." back on my only girl an' refused to let her come home; I've harried the'r mother's life out of her 'cause she wouldn't shove 'em off as I done. The devil's pulled me right along, but he's got me to the end o' my tether, an' now God's goin' to git hold!" He lifted his wet eyes and turned them upward solemnly. "Lord, I've wandered far from Thee—far, far—but I'm comin' home! comin' home! comin' home!" His voice died away in tenderest cadence in the perfect hush of the room. "There's no place like home," said the leader softly, "and there's no home for any soul but in the heart of God!" He paused, and the reporter was on his feet. "I shall never cease to thank God that I came here to night," he said. "I have come a long distance. I found my Saviour a few months ago in far Australia—" A mothered cry escaped Rosina's lips, but none came from Susan's: she slid down on her knees and hid her face in her hands, the joy in her heart almost suffocating her. The stranger's voice broke a little, but he went on: "I may seem like a stranger to you, but most of you know me. When I got religion 'my first thought was to see my mother. I'm Ross Emmett, and I, too, have come home!" "Well," said Aunt Huldy, telling her neighbor of it next day, "they wa'n't no more meetin' after that. Rosina slipped over to Ross, 'a' they both went an' knelt to Rantz, and everybody sung 'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow,' an' when they got through Mr. Cockerill says, 'Sing it again,' an' they wa'n't satisfied with that, but they sung it the third time." "You'd ought 'o seen Rantz with the baby," said Mrs. Dill. "They all come home with Will and Rosina. The baby'd just woke up—he alwus wakes up good as a kitten—an' was sittin' on my lap wrap up in his cradle blanket. Rosina caught him off my lap an' held him up to Rantz. She was as excited an' happy she didn't know whether she was on her head or her heels. 'It's grampa' she says, 'Kiss grampa, blest!' an' Rantz held out his hands, an' the baby put up his, an' give a lurch right into the old man's arms. I stole away an' left 'en, by themselves, soon's 'I'd shook hands with Ross. Don't he look fine! 'Susan can't take her eyes off him a minute. T' think Tom an' I was so sure he was a reporter!" "They say Ross ain't goin' to stay. He's got a good business out. there, an' he's goin' back aagin. I tell 'em it's hard for Susan to have the family separated again now," said Aunt Huldy. "Susan can stan' that sort of separation easy, after the sort she's stood for years. It's separation of hearts that kills a woman!" said Mrs. Dill (Copyright.)

ORDER FOR 750,000 RIFLE BARRELS U.S. GENERAL STORE CHICAGO JOURNAL DEAD IN COAL MINE TWO EXPLOSIONS FOLLOWED BY FIRE CAUSE DEATH OF MANY MINERS. VICTIMS MAY NUMBER 70 Occurred at Hanna, Wyo., in Works of Union Pacific Coal Company —Other Disasters There. Cheyenne, Wyo., Mar. 30.—Between fifty-five and seventy lost their lives in two explosions in coal mine No. 1 owned by the Union Pacific Coal company at Hanna, Wyo., Saturday afternoon. The explosions were caused by gases and each was followed by fire. The fire occurred at three o'clock when 18 mine workers including a superintendent and three bosses were killed. The second explosion occurred at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, snuffing out the lives of from forty to fifty members of a rescue party, including State Mine Inspector D. M. Elie. The names of the men killed in the first explosion were ascertained from the company's books, but those of the rescuers were not known as no record was kept of those who volunteered for this dangerous work. The wildest excitement prevailed Sunday in Hanna and at the mine, where hundreds are congregated, including widows, children and other relatives of the victims. Men and women are running about wringing their hands and crying, while many little children, separated from their mothers in the semi-panic condition that prevailed are sobbing and crying with fear. The regular force of men employed at mines No. 2 and 3 were pressed into rescue work which is extremely difficulty and hazardous. The bodies of four of the 18 men who lost their lives in the first explosion were located Saturday night, but owing to the ever-increasing volume of gas, which threatened to explode at any moment, no effort was made to remove them to the surface. Fire started in the colliery last Sunday, since which time attempts at regular intervals have been made to extinguish it. Saturday it was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings and they were notified not to report for duty. Superintendent Briggs, with a team of picked men, the best and most experienced hands in the camp, went into the mine to fight the fire, but at two o'clock the flames had become beyond their control, and at three o'clock connected with the walled off gas and a terrific explosion followed. The victims are all below the tenth level, and it is likely that the flames have consumed the corpses. Denver, Col., Mar. 30.—A Republican special from Hanna, Wyo., says that a carefully prepared list of the missing as a result of the two explosions Saturday in mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal company contains 58 names and of this number five dead bodies have been recovered. Before further attempt at rescuing the dead can be made the fire in the tenth level, which was the direct cause of the explosions, must be extinguished. Work to this end consumed the entire day, effort being directed especially to closing the west slope, which it is hoped it will eventually smother the ranging flames. Sunday's disaster brings the number of victims of explosions in mine No. 1 during the 20 years of its operation to the neighborhood of 300. The greatest previous loss of life occurred on June 30, 1903, when 169 men fell victims to deadly gas. Citizens Force Action. South Bend, Ind., Mar. 29—Forced to action by a committee of 50 prominent citizens, the common council Friday night ordered all questionable resorts, including gambling houses and alley saloons immediately closed. During the last year, South Bend has been the most wide-open city in Indiana. 7111914 ALWAYS COME HERE.

SULZER INTRODUCED BILL TO REMOVE TARIF. He Announced Individual Filibuster Until Majority Agrees to Such Legislation This Session. Washington, Mar. 31.—Representative Sulzer (N. Y.) Monday introduced a bill to place wood pulp and printing paper on the free list. He said he proposed to make an individual filibuster against all Republican legislation until the Republican leaders should declare their willingness to pass such a measure. Describing the paper "trust," as one of the "hydra-headed monsters which have been tightening their hold upon the people." Mr. Watkins (La.) made a plea for the immediate removal of the duty on wood pulp. The newspaper, he argued, was one of the main civilizing agencies of the world, and in this country, "sheds light in 15,000,000 homes." While to-day, he said, the newspaper industry was working in harmony with organized labor, "its operating expenses are higher because union labor is more expensive than unorganized labor was a few years ago." There was, he charged, a tariff on everything that went to make a newspaper. "This," he said, "is purely and simply a donation to the paper trust and other printing interests or the country." The newspapers, he declared, had been patient and forbearing and long suffering. "As molders of public opinion," he said, "they could almost cause a revolution if they would. If the government continued to perpetuate monopolies," he said, "it will bid farewell to state rights, to individual liberty, to the equality of all men before the law, and humble ourselves in sackcloth and ashes before the plutocracy of the country, and, as suppliers, bow down before the throne of our ruler." A Big Bryan Banquet. Kansas City, Mar. 31.—William J. Bryan told the Young Men's Democratic club of Missouri at its dinner Monday night in Convention hall that it had added a new distinction to Kansas City by holding the largest banquet he had ever attended, and, so far as he knew, the largest ever held on American soil. The banquet was given by the Young Men's Democratic club of Missouri, a state organization, but the banqueters came from Kansas and Oklahoma as well. Two thousand diners sat at the tables and the galleries and roof garden were packed with spectators. The galleries were decked with flags and bunting, plinks and roses were banked upon the tables and the colored electric lights all combined to make a brilliant and memorable scene. An Iowa Tornado. Burlington, Ia., Mar. 28—A report from New Boston, Ia., a town about ten miles west of Fort Madison, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, states that a tornado struck that place Friday night, blowing 12 freight cars from the tracks, demolishing a church, and injuring a number of people. No one is reported to have been killed at that place. A balloon-shaped cloud was seen to pass from west to east along the Santa Fe road and considerable damage to farm houses in its path was reported. Whole Family in River. Pacific, Mo., Mar. 30.—A wagon in which Henry Gilhouse, his wife and two infant children were attempting to ford Meramec river, two miles west of here Sunday, was overturned by the swollen stream and the four were swept away. Gilhouse and one child were drowned. Mrs. Gilhouse and the other child were saved by fishermen. To Sign Conventions Soon.
