THE TOPEHA DAILY STATS JOXTEITAICLlTPZDAY EvTHTErQ, ATHIL 11, 1CC3. A Man With a Mission. Terse Comments oa the Uniform Topic tor April 12 Is: "Temperance meeting: Lessons from the Life of John B. Gough." II Sam. 22:17-27. BY WILLIAM T. ELUS This is the day of most widespread interest In the temperance movement in North America Even the drinking man now alma to keep fully Informed upon this newly popular reform. In the thiok of the battle. It is worth while to pause and contemplate the Ufa of one of the earlier champions of the cause, John B. Gough, from whose career many needed present lessons may be drawn. The following con densation of the outstanding facts of Gough's biography is from the pen of Amos R. Wells. John B. Gough, perhaps the most eloquent and able tmperance advo cate that ever- lived,, was born at Sandgate, England. August 22, 1817. The castle, and other romantic sur roundings, greatly affected the boy. Hts father was a soldier, and his mother a gentle schoolmistress. His parent were poor, and to better the boy's prospects they sent him with a neighbor to America. Hia mother marked passages in his Bible for him to learn, especially the second, third, fourth and fifth chapters of Proverbs. He spent two years on a farm in New York, with no Sunday school or day school, but joining the Methodist 'church during a revival. Seeking Advancement, he went, to New York city with only half a dollar In the i world- Great poverty and many trials, together with the ability to sing well and tell funny stories, led Gough into 'a life of dissipation. He became a 'drunkard and an actor. His first ap pearance In Boston waa In the play, .'"Departed Spirits, or the Temperance ;Hoaxj" in which Dr. Lyman Beecher ;and other temperance leaders were (ridiculed. Mr. Gough married, took up his trade of bookbinding, but fell I to the most profound depths of in temperance, knowing all the horrors of delirium tremens. At one time he stood on the railroad track with a j bottle of laudanum at his Hps, and 'only the movings of the Holy Spirit kept him from a sulolde's end. The (kind words of a stranger, Joel Strat :ton, a waiter in a temperance hotel, i persuaded Mr. Gough to sign the (pledge. The drink demon and the 'stratagems of saloon men caused him 'to fall twice, but he recovered each time, through the kindness of friends. (He began to speak for temperance in a humble way. but his great ability waa aoon recognized, and he became a temperance leoturer, speaking to crowded audiences all over the United States and Great Britain. His speak ing combined the richest humor, the tenderast-pathos, the most powerful eloquence, the most convincing argu ment. His autobiography and his Platform Echoes are among the strongest temperance book ever writ ten. After winning many thousands to a life of sobriety, he died, honored by all the world, in 1886. No one can read Gough's life without a deepened pity for the drunkard, and a deepened eenee of responsibility for speaking the kind words that may save him from his awful fate. Law may be piled on law (and this phase of the development of the tem perance cause is Important and essen tial), but in the long run it is moral suasion that is going to win the fight for. total abstinence. In the homely phrase of a temperance speaker, "It Is most Important for a man to close the liquor business that Is located be tween his own chin and nose." The old fashioned method, which was Gough's, of securing personal signa tures to total abstinence pledges may not well be abandoned. For It is the individual resolution not to drink in toxicants that most effectually helps to destroy intemperance, y-gyhd .RTfMl 1 H TAOIETAOINNN A life may be made to count for the "most when it Is flung, like Gough'B, utterly and unreservedly into a great and unpopular cause. Write It In the nation' laws. Blotting out the -license clause; Write It on each ballot white, Bo t can be read aright, Where there's drink, there's danger.' Frances E. Willard. The last words of John B. Gough were a dramatic appeal to youth an appeal, alas, which can not be realised tn its tremendous significance by those who need it most. Gough was lectur ing in Frankfort, a Philadelphia sub urb, and he had Just cried, dramatical ly. "Young man, keep your record clean!" when he fell over, never to apeak again. Into that sentence was compacted the lecturer's own bitter experience; there were "ears of his life which he would have given worlds to blot out. Not only personal happiness and peace are marred by the remem brance of a stained past, but a man's liberty is hindered as well. The first step of those who would swerve aside a man from some noble reform, is to examine his record, and to try to "get a line on him," in the phrase of the street. Happy in that hour is the man whose record is clean: who is not afraid to let the whole world look into his life from the beginning. There are few elements of happiness and power greater than this one or a career un sullied -by the follies and sins of youth. Blessed are the sympathetic, for they shall save themselves from cen soriousness and their fellows from sin. It was because he "had been there," and knew the hurt of Intemperance, that John B. Gough was able to appeal to the drinking man. without a trace of self-rlghteousness or Pharisaism and with wonderful wlnsomaness. SEVEN SKNTEXCE SERMONS. Too low they build who build be neath the stars. Young. Great trials seem to be necessary I! Hurry and Worry are twin causes of many ail ments that affect the stomach and nerves. Keep the diges tion strong and, the nerves steady by the timely use of BEECH AM'S PILLS i gold Everywhere!, ta box 10a. and 28c preparations for great duties. Thom son. They are never alone that are ac companied by noble thoughts. Sidney.

Never address the vilest outcast as you would not speak to your dearest friend. George MacDonald.

There is only one real .failure, pos sible in life, and that is not to be true to the best one knows. Farrar. Be but faithful, that is all; Go right on, and close behind thee There shall follow still and find thee. Help, sure help. Clough. We aim at a life beautiful without extravagance, and contemplative with out unmanlinese; wealth is in our eyes a thing not for ostentation but for reasonable use; and it is not the ac knowledgment of poverty we think disgraceful, but the want, of endeavor to avoid it.- Pericles. RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gem Gleaned From the Teachings of All Denominations. Nothing reduces your Influence faster than getting mad. Rev. S. E ward Young, Presbyterian, Pittsburg. SAFETY. Better have a wire fence at the edge of a precipice than a magnificent hospital at the bottom of It. Rev. J. D. Adam, Reformed, Brooklyn. BULLET PROOF. Religion is not to make us com fortable, but to make us bullet proof against diiscomfort. Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Congregationalist, Worcester, Masa. A WONDERFUL POWER. Ah. how great is the power of re pentance; when it transforms a slave of Satan .and a-moral outcast into an elect of God! Cardinal Gibbons, Ro man Catholic, -Baltimore. SPIRIT-OF HELPFULNESS. The spirit of Christ is the spirit of helpfulness. The helping hand is open wider today than ever i before, and the sad heart of the man of Nazareth is surely made to rejoice. Rev. P. H. Swift, Methodist, Chicago. DEFEAT AND VICTORY. Defeat and failure lp business or life, in our ambitions or plane, are re sults we never welcome. Yet there are many victories which are worse than defeats and 'many apparent' fail ures which are victories; Rev. F. L. Phalen, Unitarian, Worcester, Mass. SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE. The Bible Is from God andi so is science, and there is no conflict be tween them. Jesus Christ was the supreme scientist. Man and nature were perfectly known to him. His gospel, miracles and present power prove that. Rev. J. S. Thompson, in dependent. Los Angeles, Cal. GUARD AGAINST FAILURE. Many men have been failures be cause they have not the conviction of their strength. Often when a person gets out to do a thing a word of en couragement will help him much, but the word of encouragement does not give the strength. There must also be the conviction of strength. -Rev. B. R. Green. Baptist, Duluth. ANSWERING OF PRAYER. Because every prayer does not) re ceive an objective answer some people dleny the value of prayer altogether. That is like denying the worth of agriculture because some gardens fail to return the desired harvest. There are certain laws to be obeyed and con ditions to be complied with if the prayer or the planting Is to avail much. Rev. W. H. McGlauflin, Uni versalis Atlanta, Ga. THAT WHICH IS PROFITABLE. The sooner we are fully impressed that this present life Is uncertain and very short and that the future life Is sure and endless the better it will be for us; also to learn that material things cannot satisfy the soul, but that a man must be rich toward God be fore that aching void can ever be fill ed, and that godliness is profitable un to all things and we may add unto all time. Rev. W. F. Bryan, Methodist, Dallas, Tex. THE COMING CHURCH. The church of the future will be practical that is, it will put Its beliefs into practice. Belief and life have been too long divorced. There has been too wide a gulf between the truth we knew and the truth we lived. In ever in creasing measure right thinking must Issue In right living. What is revealed as truth to the reason will become a law to the will. The highest wisdom is not in knowing what is right, but in doing it. Rev. Dr. S. H. Woodrow, Corgregationallst, Washington. TRUE VIEW OF WORK. Common things are made to serve a religious purpose by bringing to the use of them a religious motive. A re ligious motive brought to the use of other common things will make them serve a religious purpose also. Every thing with which the hand of man has to do the divine hand had to do with first. He made the raw material; man makes the finished product. The true view to take of every legitimate work is that It is an opportunity to help com plete the work of creation. The right motive put Into what we do will give it something of the same look belonging to what he' has done. The great end of life Is moral, and every necessary work has a bearing on that end. There is vastly more for men In the place of toll than health or wealth or enjoy ment. Rev. Pleasant Hunter, Presby tcri&n 1jwclt1c 2 J DELIVERANCE FROM SUFFERING. Inseparable with the idea of the goodness of God Is the truth of the in flexibility of God's lawa. Apart from obedience to law there could be no dis cipline, no growth, no heaven. Even the child becomes restless and thank less when there is no restraint, no pen alty for breaking the right rules of conduct. Much of the pain In life comes from man's" own violation of law. The first thing we notice as we turn to the bright side of the picture of life Is the provision God has made for human happiness. We notice how the earth and all the earth produces have been arranged for the comfort of man. The relation ot this planet to the whole astral system, the arrange ment of light and heat, the sequence of seasons with the return ot seedtime and harvest, even the flowers with their exquisite beauty, all speak of the goodness of God. We begin to realise as we scan the picture that the pain and suffering are not of God's making, but spring out of the failure of man to adapt himself to his environment. If man were only co-ordinated with na ture as God intended, there would be no Buffering, and the only deliverance from suffering la to come into harmony with God. Rev. p. C Garrett.

N Mrs. Bowser hadiruri into a neigh bor's the other evening after dinner, and Mr. Bowser sat smoking and read ing; when there came -a-ring at the front door. He waited until it was re peated and. hen- went down the hall with his mind made up to throw the tramp off the steps.- Jut ihft door swung open his mother-in-law walked In; It was the same woman with' the -same satchel. He started i back and pegan to glare at her; and to hls'amajiement she smiled and held; out her hand and said:- j j V ;i ff tVVQ ;i "Howdy do, Sammy? I hope you are glad to see mre?T i "T-e-s," he replied,; as he took the hand and shook If imply. "I hope Sarah la not ill?" "No. She's. Just gone into Green's for a little while.? r v "Then I'll Just, go down and? help my self to a blte'-to eat. Don't j, you put yourself out.) s Are you feeling well, my son?" "Yes, pretty well. Yoi you didn't write that you were coming." i "Nope. I just got ready and came right along. Fact is, I wanted to ee you and have a little talk -with you. We'll have a chat after I have some thing to eat." She went down to the dining room and Mr. Bowser sat down to think. The relations between him and his mother-in-law had been strained -for almost twenty years. She had arrived on a visit many, -many times before, but never to call him Sammy and ask after his health. On the contrary4 as the reader knows, -she had arrived to play the bulldozer and the tyrant and make him feel his helplessness. On numerous occasions he has-' rt-led to throw off the yoke, but never with sue-, cess. What did her arrival portend? Why that smile? What was hidden behind that "Sammy?" Mr. Bowser determined to be on the safe side, and he was about to make a sneak out doors, when a voice came unto him: "Oh, Sammy," don't get impatient. Til be with you in live minutes." He felt himself turning pale and his heart beating faster: Had she come to lecture him on his latest scheme to start an ostrich farm? Had she heard that he wanted to sell the house and lot and go into squabs'? Had any one told her that he stood ready to go on a search for the North Pole? If not that, was she. going to call him a scoundrel and a villain and break up his home by Insisting that her daugh ter get a divorce? It was a bad ten minutes that Mr. Bowser spent with himself, and he had just made up his mind to fight to the last gasp when the mother-in-law came up stairs. She was still smiling. She extended her hand for another 'Shake and then sat down- beside him and said: "Yes, Sammy, I'm real glad to see you again. I've been doing lots of thinking about you since New Year's. I wanted to come down then, but I couldn't quite arrange it them. Did you say you were glad to see me?" few f IP 4 HT SMltO UiKB T WO.PW CfthtM CtSMB. r "If you pitch into me X shall an swer back."

The time before that you drew the ax on m and made, me stop tinkering with the furnace.' "I did? Why. I don't remember anything about it. If it was so, then I beg your pardon. I'm sure you are the last man on earth whose feelings l snouia want to nurt. ljia Sarah say anything about the letter from me two weeks ago?"

Mebbe she thought it wouldn't do to praise you too much. I never can be thankful enough that she found such a good husband. Sammy, I noticed a bottle of claret on the sideboard. You might step down and take a nip." "But the last time you were here you called me an old bum because I took a nip." "That was just an -old woman's way, you know. Bum! Why, I should like to hear any one refer to you as a bum In my presence!" Mr." Bowser felt weak and wobbly, and he went down and -took a nip two of em. When he returned the mother-in-law reached for his hand and said: "Yes, Sammy, I got to thinking on Ntw Year's Day what a good man you were, and I found myself feeling sorry that I had ever said anything to hurt your feelings. I came this time to beg your pardon and promise to be a different mother-in-law hereafter. Can you overlook the past, Sammy?" "Do you mean that you didn't come down here to bulldoze and blow around?" he asked. "Why, Sammy, how could' I think of such a thing?" "Once, when I bought a pig, you said I didn't know as much as a boy ten years old." "Then, I must have been crary. I'd take another nip of that claret if I were you." Mr. Bowser went down and took another nip two of 'em. "I may have said mean things, Sammy, but I never meant them," said the mother-in-law, as he return ed.

"Then I ought "to have been- sent to an asylum. Say, Sammy., there's a bot tle of claret on the sideboard.' Mr. Bowser went down and saw that she was correct, and he, took: a nip two of 'em.

Two years ago the state of Kansas adopted a constitutional amendment intended to put a stop to the passage of local bills by the legislature. The constitution had formerly forbidden local bills, but made the legislature the judge of what constitutes a local bill. The constitutional amendment sought to give the courts the right to decide what is a local bill. A case was argued in the supreme court yesterday which will test the meaning of that constitutional amend ment. The case Is that of Charles Deng vs. the county commissioners of Scott county.' Deng is represented- by D. A. Banta of Hutchinson, while Speaker J. S. 'Simmons of the Kansas house of representatives, is the attor ney for Scott county. The special act under consideration is one passed at the 1907 session auth orizing the commissioners of Scott county to levy a tax in 1907, 1908 and 1909 of three mills on the dollar to build a county high school at Scott City. The law also authorizes the county commissioners to issue war rants to the contractors to pay for the construction of the building, and to take up the warrants when the taxes are collected. Charles Deng Is a taxpayer, and ob jected to building the high school. He went Into the district court and en joined the tax levy. Judge Lobdell heard the case, and decided in favor of the county commissioners. He held that the special act authorizing the tax levy was constitutional, and made the specific ruling that the effect of the new constitutional amendment is merely to give the court the right to review the laws passed by the legisla ture to determine whether such laws are special, and It special, whether they are of such a nature that they come within the provisions of the con stitution. Judge Lobdell held that courts should not Interfere with the acts of the legislature or the validity of a certain law unless there appeared to be certain very good reasons for so doing. He finds that there is no rea son to Justify overturning the special act wor Scott county.

The Ala bama supreme court has decided that the general prohibition law of that state, which recently was put In force, and the speoial nine o'clock closing law, ar constitutional and. effective.

Why. do they? That's what we would like to know. And we'll give a big ham sandwich to the person furnishing the best answer. Bob Evans Is down to one hundred and twenty pounds In weight. Many a good fight has been won at that weight and It looks as though the doughty old sea-dog Is putting up a fight that will prove to be a winning one. If the wish es of a people could win any sort of a victory the result of the one the gal lant admiral is striving for would not be In doubt for an instant.' In the excitement during the past few days incident to the election the fund that the members of the Com mercial club is raising for the purposes of a county fair was forgotten' for the moment Something under $1,000 Is still needed to bring this fund up to the $12, 000 mark and the committees should have no trouble in getting It. The Shawnee county fair must be made so big and so grand this year that it will be certain to be the forerunner of a state fair to be located here. 'President Roosevelt's latest message to congress is probably the shortest that has ever been transmitted to the national lawmakers by a chief execu tive, but that does not necessarily mean that It was the least Important. TAs a matter of fact It Is a most weigh- ty document. For In demanding the suppression of anarchy In this country It Imposes a rather, monumental task on the farmers of the laws and those who are charged with their enforce ment. The task of wiping this evil, off the face of the United States Is a great one but that Is all the more reason why it should be attacked with vigor and its accomplishment made certain. Druggists and Jolntlata who have been caught violating the prohibition law are remembering the success at talned by J." J.' Schenck. the county at torney,' In his prosecution; of' similar Offenders at the spring term of the 'district court a year ago and at the succeeding terms. So they are not taking the chances of going before a jury and having Mr. Schenck convict them on enough counts to give them a lengthy jail sentence and a good big fine.. They are falling head over heels In their efforts to plead guilty to a single 'count. The acceptance of these pleas seems to conserve the ends of justice -and at the same time save the county the expenses of long drawn out trials. FREIGHT REDUCTION. In its railroad news the State Jour nal today makes an announcement important to Kansas publishers cov ering a reduction in the through rate on news print paper from the mill districts to Topeka and other towns. The announcement comes through the Santa Fe which has been for many months working to give these reductions. This paper has for years .pointed, out the Inconsistency of the old rate and the excessive charge made to To peka in proportion to the charge made to newspapers printed on ,-,the Missouri river. The Santa Fe's announcement to day, which will of course be dupli cated by the other railways, shows that the companies are working along theylines of greater fairness to ship pers and with a disposition to make rates which can not be successfully attacked as unjust and discriminat ing. As the railways do this sort of thing there will be a growing disposition, already noticeable, to treat railways strictly on their merits and less on a not always fair basis, sometimes applied, "to get even." The dema gogue will take a back seat and busi ness principles be more generally ap plied from both' standpoints. There has been much legislation la the last year or so of great advantage to the railroads in that they are no longer giving rebates to favored ship pers, a nefarious action on their' part which many railway officials in high standing felt In the past they were obliged to take in order to secure business. Discriminations on the part of rail roads have been done away with by the wholesale by legislation. Passes and free transportation have been abolished for those pot In the railroad business. These rebates, discriminations and free tickets have worked not only in justice, but big losses of revenues to the railway oompanies. They were outrageous both upon the public, which paid fares and freight, and to the railways which granted the con cessions, sometimes as a species of bribery or protection from the un principled, and sometimes merely through a courtesy or custom which long ago should have been abolished. In years to come It will be hardly conceived that free railway tickets were formerly given to judges of all the courts from the supreme bench to the police, judiciary, to senators, congressmen, members of the legisla ture, board of assessors, national, state, county and city officers of eyerx class and description, and their families on request, and their rela tives too at times passes to the peo ple of all the people who must regu late and legislate and decide with out prejudice! A SATURDAY SERMON. Jesus wept. John 11:J6. Criminologists, psychologists and plain everyday people have been in tensely Interested In the recent trial and conviction In an Idaho court, on his own confession, of Harry Orch ard, whose list of heinous murders staggers belief. Criminal records contain few such monstrous cases. Tet Harry Orchard received the sen tence of death calmly, and although the judge himself advised that the penalty be commuted to Imprison ment, the prisoner refused- to ask this boon, declaring that his punishment Is merited. Most wonderful of all, this man, who in the hands of skilled cross examiners bore himself with self possession, straightforwardness and .alertness, is happy after the manner of a child. In simplicity and peace fulness he lives his life in prison, eager to make, whatever reparation remains for his Immeasurable crimes, yet utterly unafraid. How may this mystery be explained Harvard uni versity sent Its great Prof. Munster berg half way across the continent to seek the answer. That answer harks back to the deepest fstth In the Christian religion. Orchard has been changed, he says, and those who have observed him say by the gospel. The old man, the cal lous criminal and trafflcxer in human life, has died, and In his stead there has arisen a new man,' penitent. The best teacher, whether he teach through pen or picture r platform or pulpit, is the one who unfolds most of the deeper meaning of life; for humanity finds existence an enigma. How great Is the programme of life not death, but life, fuller, deeper, higher and more enduring life the world has not yet discerned. The profounder significance of the. ways of providence are not comprehended. Conducted to the tomb of the noble young man, Lazarus, whom he had loved, and surrounded by a sorrowing group, Jesus gave an evidence of thai humanity andT'sympathy which has been as healing balm to much of the world ever since. For "Jesus wept." Spurgeon once said that he could forgive the makers, of the King James version all the atrocities they had committed by chopping the text up Into verses because they had set apart these two words, "Jesus wept" Therein sorrowing mankind see a friend for Its hour of grief. The poet's great "In meroorlam" tribute to his friend has no eloquence like fhls. Not stole philosophy, not dumb suffering, not blind aamosticism is of fered by the Christian faith to those who mourn, but a compassionate, co suffering friend, with tear-filled eyes. God does not keep his beloved from entering the gates of -death; so he must have precious purposes con cealed behind that portal. i joymtAL WITHIES r iuimij moil uu aivsb marry is because they think over the proposition often and deeply.

There never was a church so small that it didn't seem plenty large enough on prayer meeting night When a man complains about the uncomfortable seats in church, that is one of his ways of saying that the show isn't good. There are duties a man owes to him self, but they so often conflict with other people's comfort that they are called selfishness.

The Canadian gov ernment has ordered her taken to the boundary of the ..United States and ordered to leave the country. If Uncle Sam will not allow her to enter the United States she will be sent to Russia. It is reported that the woman is being detained at the Canadian line by the United States officers, who will not allow her to enter the United States, and it is to be hoped that this report is true and that she will be kept out There Iff no place for her and others like her here, and the sooner the country is rid of her the better It will be for everyone. But best of all is the story that she will be sent to Russia. What the Russian authorities would do to the high priestess of anarchy can easily be guessed. Her. inflammatory speeches there would not result in her being taken from the hall to the street and there released. The Rus sian government would make short work of the woman. As General Sherman once said of the Indians the good ones are the dead ones, and Emma Goldman "dead would be fully as valuable to the world as Emma Goldman alive. By all means send her to Russia. They will either con vert her there or else will send her to Siberia where she can make as many speeches as she desires. Salina Jour nal JOHN. THE DEVIL. How the average American .is praised!

THE CRIME OF TALK. For several months the people have neglected their work to indulge in talk that has been foolish in many cases, and positively unfair in others. About the only thing they actually accom plished was to turn good times into hard times. As a result of the talk, every citizen of the country, except the leaders, has been injured. But Bryan has made money, and Taft has made fame. In every state in the Union, certain leaders have prospered, while their followers have siost not only their time, put some of their business. Atchison Globe.. FROM OTHER PENS MAKING IT TOO. HUMDRUM. They used to talk a lot about the dangers of the deep and to pray lustily for those who went flown to the sea In ships. But really it ap pears to be getting safer to go to sea than to stay at home. Some persons insists that statistics show the most dangerous things a man can possibly do is to walk down the street of any reasonable live city of 20,000 popula tion or more. Now the chief of the weather bureau says that with the aid of wire less telegraphy more of the perils of the deep are to be eradicated. He wants every ship of over a certain tonnage to be equipped with a wire less outfit and hot wants1 the govern ment to require that every ahip and every wireless outfit shall be required to repeat any message It may pick up if not intended for It alone. When such control is exercised, he says, a storm will be located and its direction shown to all vessels. "The message, will go out," says Professor Moore, "that a storm is cen tered along the south line of coast, moving along the gulf stream, in creasing' in intensity, and the vessel's master will say: 'We will sail around that.' When the time comes that we will get observations from, the en tire Atlantic coast by wireless tele graphy, through one ship repeating to another its observations, we will be able to send information to the en tire Atlantic ocean. Messages will be repeated backward from ship to ship, 'Storm in such part of the ocean. All else serene. Sail your course. All ships outside of that region will feel easy, but everything coming into that region will have to look out It will render ocean transportation far safer than riding on a street car is today."

In asserting that the mildly famous Calaveras skull is a comparatively modern specimen, the University of California people are only confirming what the government ethnologists have already said, and the addition that the ekull was put where it was found by some humorist or swindler is interesting rather than important for it has already been determined to the satisfaction of practically all scientists that no trace of really an cient men has yet been found in America. Of course, the socalled mound builders were old timers, as American history goes, but to the geologists they were mere creatures of yester day, differing from the Indians of to day only in a few of their customs.

IBy Forbes Dwlght The mad gallop up the bridle path ended at the bridge across the little pond. The girl drew rein close to the stone parapet and, calming her restive steed, whose every nerve seemed a quiver with the excitement of the wild dash, sat quietly on the saddle staring with pensive eyes at the unruffled water below. Dean ranged his own .horse beside the girl's, smiling as he watched the glowing color In her cheeks. All about them the trees flaunted the gorgeous tints of late autumn scarlet, ochre and., more subdued shades blending into a splendid, farreachlng vista. The crisp, clear air stirred the blood like wine. The girl laughed, a trifle uneasily. "We shouldn't be doing such things," she said severely. "Of course not" said Dean with a chuckle. "We should have maintained a staid pace. We should have con tented ourselves at the most with a measured trot. It's tremendously wicked the Way we smash all the con ventions of this park. We'll have a mounted officer on our trail yet Pleas ant prospect, .that A glorious gallop, all the same, wasn't It? And well worth the risk of Incurring the displeasure of the law." "Tes, it was glorious," the girl ad mitted. "Still, we shouldn't do it." "That's where half the fun comes in," said he. "Hang their old park, and its rules! Do they think we'll limit ourselves to a funereal pace such a day as this and with such a pair of steppers?" "We really ought to," said she. Dean laughed. It was a pleasant, al most boyish laugh. His big shoulders were squared defiantly. "The things one ought to do are gen erally unpleasant" he observed. "Come on. We'll let them out once more." The girl shook her head. "No: oh, no," she demurred. "Afraid?" he questioned. She nodded. "Of the rules they are pleased to hamper us with in this two-by-four plot of grass?" "No, not of that," she replied. "Afraid of you, I think." "Of me? Oh, pshaw!" Again his laugh rang out, but the girl turned to him with a sudden serious ness. "Tou make me rather afraid of you at times," she said. "Tbu tempt me to do- reckless things. I don't know why it should be -so, but it Is. I would never In the world have thought of riding here with any one 1S8 s I have with you Just now; and the strange part of It all Is that I enjoy it so Immensely." "Enjoy what?" "Doing the reckless things you In spire." Dean leaned toward her quickly. "I wish it were so," he declared. "I wish I really might inspire you to reckless deeds. "I wish I might r- "Now, please," the girl begged with heightening color. "Oh. all right" said he good natured- ly. "I know the subject is tabooed. I'll observe the conventions you've im posed upon me and keep my tongue to the funeral pace." He sat for a time stating silently Into the water. At last he straighten ed himself In the saddle. "I'd like another callop." he remark ed. "A wilder one, a madder one. I'd like to get out of this little old park, and go somewhere where there's a level stretch of road ana no Hamper ing rules of pace." A Hu-Vit came into the frlrl's eyes. She threw back her head and gathered up the reins.' "So would I," she declared a trifle breathlessly. Dean swung about to face her. There was a quiet smile on nis tips. "Come, then," he said simply. "We really shouldn't," she objected. "Crime." he reieated. "I'm afraid when you speak In that fashion. He turned the hose from the bridge and headed for the gate at 'the farther side of the park, xne gir louowea silently. "Whan are vou eolng? she asked as he turned through the gate and made for the road that led into the country. "To a place where we can let them out to our hearts' content," said he. Up the road through the afternoon sunshine they went at a sober pace, but once the city was fairly behind them Dean quickened the pace. Fas ter they went and faster, until they were teaming along at a mad gait Across level stretches and over the low hills they sped. -The two horses had caught the spirit of the gallop and tore along at their best pace. The girl's cheeks were glowing; Dean 8 eyes sparkled with the excitement of They paused finally on the' crest of a hill.

She hesitated. "Come," she cried at last. Down the hill they thundered, across a bridge that spanned a little brook and up the rise on the other side. Again they drew rein. The gorgeous twilight colors were fading. Below them lay a little village, its lights already be ginning to twinkle in the gloom. "Enough recklessness? said he. "Never! This is Just the beginning." "Now I'm afraid of you again." said she.' "Oh, no, you're not afraid -of me," he said, with a strange gentleness. "You're afraid of a few old, time-worn conventions. You're afraid of all those plans that have been made for your future afraid to' answer your own heart and go against them. Tou are afraid of yourself that you may some time do as you want anC thwart your mother's scheming for you. But you're not afraid of me." She began to tremble. "We must go back," she cried.

He's watching this road down the hill even now. Dorothy, he's expect ing us." "Oh," she cried, turning her lace away. "Shall we disappoint him?" he asked. There was a lone pause: then with out looking at him the girl started her horse down the hill. At the foot of it she stopped and resolutely faced Dean. Her cheeks were burning, but her eyes never faltered.: "I am afraid of you." sh said, "be cause you will always have your way with me. You will rule me as you uxe, do with me as you please, even as you have done this afternoon. Tes, I am very much afraid of you but-but take me to vour rentle old clergyman.

One of the cleverest old customers we ever knew was Judge Booth, who lived on the Bell ranch along the Red river in the northeastern part of New Mex ico. One morning out on the range the Judge rolled out of his blankets with a Jumping toothache, and although he exnaustea an tne remedies in camp, nothing had any effect. It was 40 miles to the nearest town, with the chances against finding a dentist there, and it was finally decided to appeal to one of the Texas cowboys riding herd five miles away. He cams over in response to the message, and after taking a look at the tooth, which was a double one on the upper Jaw, he said: "Jedge, I can shoot that tooth out as slick as grease if you don't mind the scar it will leave on yer cheek." "Shoot it out?" shouted th Judge at the top of his voice. "Why, man, you must be crazy!" "Well, then, mebbe, I kin pick in 'nuff powder to blow It out' "Blow It out?" "Never!" "Might possibly hammer it out with a piece of iron. mused the cowboy. "And you might go to Patagonia and beyond!" exclaim ed the Indignant sufferer. "Tes, that's generally the way with folks. I'm only tellln' you how we do It out here,, but If you don't want the tooth out, of course you'll have to stand the pain.' The cowboy started back to the day herd, but after a gallop of halt a mile he returned to beckon the other boys aside, and said: "The jedge seems to be a purty squar' sort o' man, though a leetel techy, and I'm sorry fur him. Kin he sit on a hoss?" "Some of the time." "Kin he shoot?" "Only now and then.'.' "Then I think I can cure that toothache. He spent five minutes unfolding the plot and then went over to the suf ferer and said: "Jedge, I've come back to say that ye are- a booby and a coward!' "What!" yelled the Judge, as he sprang up from his seat before the campflre. "A booby, a coward and a squaw, jedge, and likewise a durned old llarl" The judge jumped for him, but the cowboy ran for his horse. There was another near at hand with two guns in the holsters of the saddle, and the judge sprang aboard and gave -chase. Half a mile out the prairie the two men began to shoot at each other, and it was not until the judge had fired his twelfth buUet that the kind-hearted cowboy rode away and left his enemy to ride into camp and declare: "Well, by thunder, if that infernal toothache hasn t stopped so dead still that I lee Just like singing!""-Penver Field and Farm.

People who look for trouble never look In vain. The more a woman tries to look young the more she doesn't. Hugging by another name Would be squeezing, Just the same. Character is what you are: renuta tlon is what people think you are. Somo men are so afraid of doinar wrong that they don't do anything. A woman just has to love some man even if it's only her own husband. Even if a man is a howling; success there is no exeuse for his howlinc about it His Satanio majesty employs a lot of people to come around and hand us free advice. If a man has brains back of his fare. head be never has time to consult a beauty doctor. After you know some people well you are apt to regret the politeness you wasted on them. People who boast of their abilitv to attend to their own affairs usually manage to butt Into 'the affairs or others.

He Is Bated Ail the Way From 20 to 100 Millions. Andras of New York Leader in the House. Washington, D. C, April 10. There are 32 millionaires in the Unit ed States senate and 14 in the house of representatives. In the senate ev ery third man has a lortune of seven figures. In the house every 27th man is reckoned a millionaire or more. This is an interesting com mentary in view of the repeated state ments thai the senate is a "rich man's club" and the house a "poor man's club." The 22 reputed millionaires of the senate aggregate a wealth of $210, 600,000. The reputed twenty-seven millionaires in the house aggregate a wealth of 183,000,000. These figures take no cognizance of the many near millionaires, of which there are a host. For instance. Vice President Fairbanks is often referred to as a millionaire, but Washington newspa per men credit him with a fortune of between $500,000 and 1750,000. The list here discussed Is of millionaires who have the coin to the knowledge of all. The richest statesman of the lot is Simon Guggenheim of Colorado, whose fortune is placed at $60,000, 000, representing a brother's portion of the immense riches of the smelter trust. The Guggenheim, father and sons, practically control the smelting of the continent. It is a business In which large money is made and made fast, and it would be hard for the Guggenhelms themselves to say what they are worth. Popular estimates of Senator 'Guggenheim's fortune run from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000. The most generally accepted estimate is $60,000,000. The second richest senator is Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, who has Just entered the upper house, succeed ing John W. Spooner. Stephenson's fortune of $30,000,000 has been made entirely from lumber. His vast for ests are Increasing in value by leaps end bounds. Shylock never made his gold earn gold as Stephenson's forest investments have earned money for him. The third richest upper house statesman is the venerable Senator Eklns of West Virginia, whose pro duct is figured at $25,000,000. The Eklns wealth has been dug from mines, Tallroads, farms and banks. jib married a aaugmer oi xxenry eaway Davis, who was the candidate for vice president on the ticket with -Judge Parker, and that helped some, as Davis himself was a man of count less millions. Davis and Elkins have a hand In about everything in West Virginia from which money comes. The fourth rTchest man in the sen ate is Nelson W. Aldrich. He is rich and glad of it, and friendly to those who are similarly embarrassed. Aid- i rich is said by some to be the greatest power in the upper house. His nearest competitor in the road to wealth Is John Kean of New Jersey, whose fortune Is placed at $10,000,000. Kean is a bachelor and clubman and inherited the major portion of his wealth. Just below him in the line was the late Redfleld Proctor of Vermont, whose fortune is inventoried at $8,000, 000. He made his money in granite and that is about aU there is to tell. He had been in the senate 16 years. He was secretary of war fcr President Har rison nouw .millionaires. The richest of the house millionaires Is John E. Andrus of New York. He is the largest manufacturer of pepsin In the United States and the bulk of it goes into chewing gum. His $35,000, 000 have accumulated principally from popular nickels Invested in chewing gum. Next to Andrus the richest con gressman is William D. McKlnley of Illinois, who is the most lavish enter tainer and most popular spender in the national capital. McKinley is rated with a fortune of $16,000,000, represent ing street railway holdings in his na tive state of Illinois. He is the largest electric traction magnate in the middle west. The third richest congressman is George. F. Huff of Pennsylvania. Mr. Huff is president of the Keystone Coal and Coke company, one of the largest producers of gas and steam coal in the United States. He was elected to the Fifty-fourth congress and has succeed ed himself ever since. The fourth richest congressman is Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. He is a lawyer by profession and is credited n-it-h a rortnne of SS.000 000 Wi wlfn was formerly Miss Florence Pullman of Chicago. Some of the other big millionaires in the upper house are Henry A. Dupont of Delaware, who has $7,000,000, made from powder. Francis G. Newland of Nevada is the richest Democrat In con gress. He has $6,000,000, largely invest ed In mines and property. He owns more real estate in Washington than any other senator. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon has $6,000,000, and he Is willing to spend some of it to see President Roosevelt nominated for a third term. Senator Chauncey M. Depew of New York has $5,000,000, which began to grow when he hooked up with the Vanderbilt New York Cen tral Railway line. Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island has $3,000,000, which came principally by inheritance. Senator A taste of the new toasted food, Post Formerly called Elijah's Manna.

Senator Levi Ankeny of Washington is worth $3,000,000 and is a' banker. Sena tor Nixon of Nevada has $3,000,000 made in mines, and Senator Crane of Mas sachusetts has $3,000,000 made from pa per. The Washington Herald recently printed a list of senator millionaires, and in addition to those above men tioned the New York Herald credits the following senators with the possession of a million dollars or more: Hale of Maine, Perkins of California, Warren of Wyoming, Scott of West Virginia, -Knox of Pennsylvania, Fora- ker of Ohio, Lodge of Massachusetts, Piatt of New York, Bailey of Texas, Hopkins of Illinois, Martin of Virginia, Richardson of Delaware, Smith of Michigan, Briggs of New Jersey, Owen of Oklahoma.

Miller will-Hot be in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. They seem to base their assurance on the results of a conference held here Friday night, at which the following were "among those present:" Grant Horna day of Fort Scott, C. W. Landis of Os borne, C. M. Harger of Abilene, J. B. Adams of ElDorado, D. W. Mulvane of of Topeka, W. Y. Morgan of Hutchin son, and others. Senator Miller said this afternoon over long distance telephone that he would have no announcement to make today. PLANS FOR BIG FAIR Race Programme Has Already Been Made Up. The executive committee of the state fair held a meeting in the rooms of the Commercial club Friday after noon to consider plans for the big fair next fall. It was decided best to at once give publicity to their plans for the fair. M. A. Low, president of the exposition company; E. H. Crosby, representative of the Commercial club, and one of the county commis sioners were decided upon as a com mittee to have in charge the erection of the new building on the fair grounds. This building will be used for farm and fruit exhibits and also for the ladies as a place for the dis play of domestic arts. The improve ments will cost $25,000. The sheds and pavilions on the grounds will be ren&irAri nnH a T-rrt r, r J -"oi larger fair than ever held there. The old building will be repaired and used for the stock pavilion. It was decided to offer $20,000 in prizes, purses and premiums, and the arrangement of -and publishing in de tail of the premium list will be be gun at once. The Idea of the pro moters is to hold a good, old-fashioned country fair that will interest and bring here the farmers and their families from every section of the state. Particular attention will be paid to and nice prizes offered for the best pumpkins, apples, peaches, corn, preserves, butter, livestock, etc. Attractions in the way of racing and amusements will be provided on a scale that will bring the crowds. The following racing programme and stakes were arranged for at the meeting yesterday afternoon: TROTTING STAKES ENTRIES CLOSE JUNE 15.

H. Canfield in a report to the faculty of Columbia college on the ed ucational eharacteristics of England and France. Dr. Canfield spent three months studying English and French universities. He says they pay more attention to the class of men admit ted than to their number, while Amer ican colleges tolerate frivolous and idle men, and condone failures which result from indolence and dissipation. The report says: "More than all else, howevr, and this lies within our easy grasp extraordi nary care should be taken not to ad mit applicants who are unfit to profit by university education. Not every one who is scholastically prepared- ought to be permitted to take up a college course, much less encouraged to do so. It is on the side of charactr and characteristics that the utmost care is needed, that the most exact informa tion should be sought the very point at which most American colleges show greatest Indifference and least willing ness to accept responsibility.- It is en tirely true that a policy of exclusion needs to be administered with greatest sympathy, as well as with extraordi nary care. But it should be remem bered that the path of every worthy student ought to be kept as free and clear' as possible, and that the reputa tion of the university must be consid ered and maintained. Said an Oxford officer, speaking of students who hare ly meet the formal academic require ments of a bachelor's degree, generally known. as pass men: 'The presence of a pass man in a university Is an anom aly closely and dangerously bordering upon a scandal.' It is sadly to be fear ed that some American institutions have so long endured frivolous and idle men, for one reason or another, that they really fear to apply the knife. No university ought to tolerate ennui, idleness, indolence' and dissipation, or in any way condone failures which re sult from these. Any university can well afford to have fewer students, if needs be which does not at all follow if it can be rid of those who are idle and vicious and really ignorant. A un iversity degree not only ought to guar antee a certain amount of intellectual training, activity and. success, but should bo reasonable proof that the holder has been so accustomed to in dustry and responsibility that he will be neither idle nor inefficient nor Irre sponsible at the beginning of his life work." Mr. Canfield condemns the practice of studying for .examinations and prizes, saying: .'As the general result of studying for an-examination is narrowing and dis puting, so the result of studying for .prizes and scholarships needs sharp limitation in order to reduce its dan ger to the lowest point. The rewards of scholastic effort should be the means by which poor men may receive an ed ucation otherwise-' Impossible to them, and should never be used otherwise. The clear (confidential, perhaps), proof of financial need should always be re qifired, and should be forthcoming. Even then -the -recipient should under stand that he will be expected to re turn the amount received, without in terest, perhaps, as soon as he can do so without serious self-denial, in order that others may point by this increased or recurrent fund. In other words, prizes and scholarships should nnt- Vi rnwmittA a A I Optlflial Mt.m ulus to the work of those .financially able, or to Increase their bondage to a tormai standard matnemanca-iiy pressed, but should be plainly assist anIA o-lvon t n. ctllHuntu W Vl n htlVft hdll orably shown their worth and promise and power while working under a free billty of continuing such work longer than would otherwise be possible.

Keyser Arrested for Taking Fish With a Net An arrest for violation of the "fish end" of .the state fish and game laws, was made today, when Henry Steele, local deputy warden, arrested W. A. Keyser, an old fisherman who lives near Valencia. Keyser came Into town this morning with a load of fish, buf falo and cat, of various sizes. ana Steele nabbed him. Keyser had some large catfish, one weighing 15 and an other 18 pounds, which did not seem to have any hook manu in their mouths. Keyser says he has been fishing in the river and the mouth of Mission creek for several years, but has used trot lines exclusively, and does not use nets. "A large catfish says Mr. Keyser, always swallows nook, bait and all. and is hooked Inside. The officers have seised the heads of these fish as evi dence, but if I could find the entrails of the fish, I would probably find the hooks and part of the line. It is nec essary to cut large catfish loose and lose the hook." T'have been deputy warden for this district for two years." said Henry Steele, the warden, "and this is the first arrest I have made. Complaint of Mr. Keyser's method of fishing has come to me from persons who know him. and claim that he uses a net. Tltat is the reason I watched him and caused him trouble today. I do not like to arrest a man on any such charge, and have done my best to give him a chance to give bail. He can get bond, all right, if he can see some of his mends. DEATHS XSD FUNERALS. Steven H.
