for several seconds. As the sun was

might have been the explo ion Of loco.

Of some one Of the steam mills in the
vicinity but this theory was itself soon
exploded, and nothing has yet been ascer.
tanned to satisfactorily account for the
noise. Parties in from the country, this
week, report having heard it, US loudly
and distinctly as it sounded in town, at
various points and in diAersnt directions,
as far out as ten or twelve miles.
We learn that tho nsise was occasioned
by the explosion of an Aerolte. Somo
persons north Of town saw at least two %
the fragments descending obliquely to
the earth.
A correspondent Of the Atchison Press
writing frem Irving, under date Of the
9th gives the following accoun. Of il:
"a Meteor was seen here to day, about
noon, in the southwest. Its appearance
was l2ea: globe Of FIRE several times
larger than tho sun. Its course was
northwest, moving downward, apparently
at an angle Of 45 degrees. l: exploded

by everybody here being as loud as thun.

Little Girls in 4 lIeme,

We cannot imaginea home more inc ON
plete than the one where there is no little
girl to stand in the void of the domestic
circle which boys can never fill, aud draw
all hearts within the magic ring of her
presence: There is something about the
little girls which is especially loveable ;
even their wild naughty ways seem
utterly void Of evil, wheu they are SO
soon followed by the sweet pcniteuce tina,
oveifiows in such gracious showers. Your
boys are great noble fellows; generous,
living, and full Of good impulse but they
arc noisy and demonstrative; dearly as
you love them, you are glad their places
are out Of doors but the little girl with
light step, is always beside you; she
brings the slippers for papa, aud with
pretty dimpled fingers, uniolds the paper
for him to read she puts on a thimblc
no bigger than fairy's, and with some
very mysterious combination of "doll
rags fills up small rocker by mama,
with wonderful assumption Of wonlanly
dignity. And who shall tell how the lit.
tic thread of speech that flows with sweet
silyery lightness from those innocent lips,
twines itself around the mothers heart
never to rust; not even when the dear
little face is hid among tho daisies, as 70
many mothers krow.
Ilcryoung heart il after years has not
been filled by the pcrnicious nonsense
which results in SO many unhappy mar.
riagcs and hasty divorces. Dear girl, she
thinks all the time of what good home
she has had, and she does not know how
far, very far, for time and eternity. her
own pure example will radiate as bless.
ing into other homes, where a sisters
memory will be consccrated ground of
tho past.
Cherish then the little girls. dimpled
darlings, who tear their aprons, cut the
table cloths and eat the sugar and salt Of
life Let them dress aud undress their
doll.babies to their hearts contents, and
don't tell them Tom Thumb and Red
Riding Hood are fictions, but leave them
alone till they find it out, which they will
do all to soon. Answer all the funny
questions they ask, and do not make fun
Of their baby theology, and when you must
whip them, do it so that if you should re.
member it, it should not be with tears,
for great many little girls lose their
hold suddenly before the room door from
which they had just escaped is shut, and
ind their way back to the angels. So,
be gentle with tho darlings, and sec what

ASwifI and Terrible Reiribution. 4

While in tho Assembly, in 1916, tho elcc.
tion OF Senator came up, and the ballot
resulted in tic. One moro veto was
needed to send Mongrel to Congress.
Callicott sold out, voted for Morgan, and
received as his reward the Spcakership
of the Assembly, and it is said, fifteen
hundred paper dollars. This was not
enough, however, and Callicott subsc-
quenlly obtained from Lincoln an appoint
