LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat Held
That is yellow with ripping grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder-bleom white
They find where the drsky grapes purple
In the soft-tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy's vines
They know where the fruit hangs the thiokest
On the long, thornY blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles of sand: =
They pick up the beautiful sea-shells-
Fairy barks that have dritted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops,
Where the oriole hammock nest swings.
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest; 81
The humble and p or become great;
And from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of the land,
The sword and chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.

WHO KNOWS.

Who knows where pins and needles go,
Where all the buttons stray?
Who knows where all the pennies go
That somehow get away?
Who knows how all the china breaks
That wasn't touched 1t all?
How baby gets so black a bruise
And never had fall?
Who knows whence all the fashions come
And where they disappear?
Thy one brief month should make fright
OF what was " such dear?"
Vino knows how little bills can swell
To such prodigous size?
Who knows, indeed, what's going on
Beneath his very eyes?
Who knows just where her husband goes
When business keeps him out?
Who knows when best TO wear smile
And when to wear a pout?
Who knows the time to face the fact
That she's no longer young?
who knows how best to speak her mind
And how to hold her tongue?
Who knows the most convenient day
To bring friend to dine ?
Who knows the half of what he spends
On clubs, cigars and wine?
Who knows one bonnet cannot last
Awoman all her life?
MhO KNOWS Cle WOMAN 10 Iue same
When sweetheart turns to wife?
Fegho knows why all the pretty girls
Are often last to go?
How all the ugly women we'd
Who never mad beau?
Why small menfancy wives so large,
And large men fancy small?
who knows, in fact. how half the world
Was ever matched at all?
Who knows how far to trust friend,
How far to hate foe?
Just when to speak kindly yes
And when sturdy no?
Who knows-tbe grim old Grecial sage
Says grayely, save myself,
The wisest man in all the world
Is he who knows himself.

The sharpers who infest the co1htayy

have eoncOcted another new scheme for
victirnazing the people. They pretend
to be bunting for stray animals. One

horse, giving description of it as evil.
dence that he owned and lost it. Usual
" he states that he is long distance
from home, and proposes to sell the ami
NAL for much less than its value rather
than be troubled to get it home. The
farmer, unless unusually sharp, accepts
the proposition and pays the money,
when the scoundrel decamps.
One of the sharpest and neanest acts
that has been reported of tramps recent
" occurred In Harrison county, Indiana,
few days ago, near Corydon. The pro-
fessional scamp called at the residence
of Mr.. Sims, the woOl-carder, and order
ed supper for lot of men who, he said,
would be along in little while, with
threshing machine they were running.
Supper was prepared, ,steaming, smoking
hot, and remained on the table until cold
as stone, and yet no threshers came.
The tramp told the family to retire for
the night and not wait, as probably some
accident had happened. After every one
had retired for the night, the scamp stole
about $50 worth of clothing, put out,
and has not been heard from since /;

Ths Deputy Sheriff Of Platte
County Secures tho RascalS.

Deputy Sheriff Gurrard Chestnut, ac-
companicd by the city detective, arrived
in the metropolis yesterday afternoon with
two noted Wichita horse thieves, named
Henderson,. These brothers are Of the
very worst class Of equine robbers of which
southwestern Kansas can boast, and they
have long been the terror of that part Of
tie State. These dcpccda,ions were at
once bold and desperate, and we've oanied
in force long time successfully. At
length that neishborhood got entirely too
hot for these gentlemen, and they were
compelled to leave rather hastily, without
taking time to either pack their carpet
sacks or check their trunks. Detectives
were at once sent upon their tracks,
and they were hunted from
place to place, from county TO county. So
closely were they pursued that several
times they were almost within the clutches
OF the officers, but their native good luck
followed them and they escaped every
time. At length the city detective Of this
town, obtained clue to their whereabouts,
and informed Chestnut, the deputy sheriff
OF Platte county, who Immediately proceed
ell to the Solomon Valley where he captur-
Ell one of them. The other one was cap
tured about sixty-fve miles north Of there
They are to be taken to Wichita for trial.

The ROCK ISLAND ROAD.

1: will be Allowed to Remain Upon the
Military Reservation.
General Pope and staff arrived here from
New Mexico day before yesterday, and yes.
terday morning Judge Ii. NJ. Aller, General
Southwestern Ticket Agent for the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad, called
upon him Tor the purpose of ascertaining
the true meaning conveyed by the words OF
the military order received by tie General
some time ago, relative to the removal OF
the railroad buildings and tracks from the
reservation. In response 10 the inquiries Of
Judge Alier, Gen. Pope stated that the order
did not state any particular time Tor the re-
moval of the road, and was Issued merely
for the purpose OF giving out the idea that
the right OF way extended to the Rock
Island road through the reservation was
not permanent. The company could have
said the General, all the time they wished
to remove it, buildings and effects.

How the Trade OF Southwestern
Kansas Will Reach st. Louis.
Kansas City to be q ''vS histliHg
Station" on the Santa Fe
Railroad.

At the present time, when Kansas City is
growing so loudly over the success Of her
efforts in inducing the A.chison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad to make that city its
terminus, there is big movement on foot,
the ultimate result OF which will be to run
the entire freighting business OF that line
around Kansas City and land it in St.
Louis, without its first having to pass
through the former village. The Missouri
Pacific railroad has already built, and has
now in operation, a road from Pleasant
Hill, Mo-, to Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence
has also built and equipped q line from
there to Carbondale, where the great coal
mines are located, and where the A., T. IS.
F. road is interested. 1t is the object of the
Missouri Pacific road to operate from Car
bondale TO Pleasant Hill, to take the cat
tie and freight from off the A., I. & S. +.
X. X. at Carbondale, run it on the branch
through Lawrence to Pleasant Hill, where
the main line OF the Missouri Pacific ia
struck, and thence straight through 10 st.
Louis. 1t is Just about the same distance
from Carbonate to Kansas City,
"a from Carbonate to Pleasant ] i'll and b.
taking the Santa Fe trade IT the former
place md sending it through by way OF
Pleasant Hill, the Missouri Picifc can
charge the same rates as ii they carried
it by way OF Kansas City, and
save the hauling Of the freight at least
one hundred miles. st. Louis herself is
deeply interested in this. scheme, as passen-
gers from Southwestern Kansas can save at
least four hours to St. Louis by taking
this cutoff. 1t will thus be seen that Kan
sas City will wake up some fine morning
and find herself mere 'whistling station"
on the Santa Fe road, and find that all Of
the cattle traffic which she fondly hoped
would ultimately be her own, has been
cut of from her and carried to st. Louis.
ANOTHER ROUTE PROPOSED,
and which seems to meet with q great deal
of favor, especially among the North Missou-
ri folks, is the extension of the old st. Joseph
and Lexington road, which was originally
intended TO have been built from Lexing-
ton, point on the North Missouri road to
Pleasant Hill, and from their to Emporia,
by way of Paola. This would give the
North Missouri road some of the trade from
off the Santa Fe line, and would also save
many miles. The road bed from Lexing-
ion to Pleasant Hill, is already graded, and
only needs the ties and iron, which viii
not he long forthcoming. 1t il evident
that there is yet to be long and bitter
struggle between the Missouri Pacific and
North Missouri roads, as to which shall
Lave the trade from OF the great Santa re
Ioute.

The soo:ed Question Of Homer
Among Thieves.

In last Sunday mornings issue We pub
IsLed an account Of the finding OF several
horses which had been stolen from various
parties in Southern Kansas, at the livery
stable of ii. Gronhiem, ON the corner Of
Fifth and Oak streets, in this city. Mr.
Rainey, Sheriff OF Anderson county, accom-
panied by DR.. Garwood and Mr.. Jewett, Of
Fort Scott, proceeded to Gronhein's stable,
on Saturday last, and there saw several
horses which had been stolen, and of which
the sheriff had the descriptions in his rock
ct. Upon Gronheims refusing to giTe up the
animals, writ of replevin was procured,
and Gronheim notified to appear before
justice Mckee on Tuesday, August 3lst.,
which is to-day. One of the horses which
lad been stolen from Southern Kansas, was
found in the Possession of sheriff Bond,
who surrendered it to sheriff Rainey. A
horse, the property of Mr.. Jewett, OF Fort
Scott, now in this city, was found at Reno,
in Gronheim's pasture
The manner in which the whereabouts of
the stolen animals were discovered was this:
For several years past Southern Kansas
has been infested with desperate gang of
horse-thieves, whose depreciation have been
the terror of that part of the country. Their
excursions extended into Bourbon and the
lower tier of counties TO the Cherokee Ma
ton. The border counties OF Missouri
were also visited, and many a fine
animal from over the border
foun' it, way INTO the coc.all
OF This garg pu: Of late the band has
been thinned on: considerably, through the
fundamentally of the revolver and the
agency Of the vigilance committee, and the
where there were once ten, there are now
but three. One of the seven is
now in the State Penitentiary, and the 9th.
er, the leader, an old man Of sixty-five, is
now in the county Jail at Garnett. 1t seems
that the latter had been treated rather
STABILITY BY his comrades and IN revenge
therefor, he "sguealed," and gave Ike inior-
nation which LED to the information which
led to the final discovery of the stolen
equines. The leaders name il Brooks. His
trial comes off Tomorrow at Garnett, and
rs he has pleaded guilty, there is no doubt
but that he will serve few years, at least,
in the penttentiary with his
comrade in crime. lie also says
that the three oi the band who
have not been capt.rcd, are in this city fire.
guently, and max their headquarters at
the stable of Gron elm. They have been
seen, also, by persons in this city who know
them. 1t is probable that with the infor-
nation in regard TO them which has been
obtained. that their capture is certainty.
