An Extraordinary Sentence.

The following extract is taken from
sentence recently pronounced by Judge
Reading, of Chicago, upon the liquor
dealers who have violated the law by
selling it to minors. 1t will pay a care
full perusal.
BY the law you may sell it to men
and women, if they will buy You have
given your bond and paid your license to
sell TO them, and no one has a right to
modest you in your legal business. No
matter what the consequences may be,
no matter what poverty and destruction
are produced by your selling according to
law, you have paid your money for this
privilege and you are licensed to pursue
your calling Nomattor what families are
distracted and rendered miserable, no
matter what wives are treated with vio-
lence; what children starvo or mourn
over the degradation of u parent-your
business is legallzcd, and no one may
interfere with you for it. No matter
what mother may agonize over the loss
OF son, or a sister blush at the shame
Of a brother, you have right to disre-
gard them all and pursue your legal call
ing yon are licensed. You may fit up
your lawful place Of business in the most
enticing and captivating form you may
! furnish it with the most costly and ele-
CANT equipments for your own lawful
trade; you may use all arts to allure
visitors; you may skillfully arrange aud
expose to view your choicest wines and
captivating beverages you may induce
thirst by all contriyences to procure
raging appetite for drinks, and then you
may supply that appetite to the full be-
cause it is lawful; you have paid for it
you have license. You may allow
boys and children to frequent your
saloon they may witness the apparent
satisfaction with which their seniors
quaif the sparkling glass you may BIO
schooling and training them for tho
period of twenty-ono, when they, too,
can participate, for all this is lswfal.-
You may hold the cup to their lips, but
you must not let them drink--that is un-
lawful. For, while you have all these
privileges for the money you pay, this
poor privilege of selling to children is
denied you. Here parents have tho
right to say, leave my son to me until
the law gives you right to destroy him.
DO not anticipate that terrible moment
when ! can assert for him no further
rights Of protection That will be soon
enough for me, for hia sister, for his
mother, for bis friends, for the commu-
nifty, to sec him take the road to death.
Give him to US in his childhood at least.
Let as have few hours Of his youth in
which we can enjoy his innocence, to re-
pay us in some small degree for the care
and love we have layished upon him."
This is something which you who now
stand prisoners at the bar have not paid
for; this is not embraced in your license.
For this offence the court sentences you
to ten days imprisonment in the county
jail, aud that you pay fine of $75 aud
costs and that you stand committed I'M
til the fine and costs Of this prosecution
arc paid"

DEAD LEAVES.

A week aeo-how beautiful
To-day how sere they lie
The glory of the forest fed
Like splendor from the sky:
trample on the fallen leaves
That yesterday, like gems,
Flashed brightness on my wondering eyes
From countless diadems.
They answer TO my needless feet
With crispncss in their tone
''Tread ligNhy for the beauty's sake
Thine eyes in us have known;
We were but shadows when we glowed
In crimson, of thy pride;
We still are shadows Of its fall,
And just before it glide !"
would the withered leaves were fair,
That might shun to tread
Their dying verdure in the dust
With which my hopes fall dead;
For when in crimson and in gold,
My ripened joys shall fame,
The brief, bright beauty of the leaves
Is theirs-to sere The same

The Crous in the County.

After three days of diligent inquiry there
exists considerable doubt in our minds touch
ing the condition of the growing crops of
Sedgwick county. So many conflicting ru-
mors and opinions makes 1t a difficult matter
to arrive at any conclusion worthy of print
ing. dozen men have declared to Us that
wheat, in some portions OF the county, has
sustained a damage of from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. and that the corn is "gone up
while others are equally as certain that little
damage has been sustained. From our own
observation we think we are safe in stating
that after excepting few low fields each on
the Minnesota, Cowskin, Chisholm and the
Great and Little Rivers, no considerable dam
age has been done to any crop-that the ag-
gregate loss will not be more than five per
cent. il SO much, unless visited by further
fo0ds

were made between the railroad, stage CON-

Twenty-seven sacks and pouches were trans

news-hungry public were gratiiled. We are
much Obliged to all parties who assisted in
getting the ton and half Of matter across the

Hellar & Larabee's Artificial Stone Yards.

Several times we have called the attention
OF our readers in the Valley to the manufac-
ture of artificial stone at Wichita, besides no.
ticing the progress of Dagner's block being
erected out of that material The more we
examine the material in both the wall and
yard the stronger are our convictions that it
will enter largely into the future building op-
erations OF our city. The fact that no fuel is
necessary to produce il and that its principal
components parts are OF sand tells the whole
story of its Gesirableness. We believe the
invention is OF Scottish origin. The stone is
nothing more than hollow concrete blocks
produced in any desired shape either for wall.
for cornice, for sills or caps, resembling white
magnetism limestone in color and sandstone in
texture. One OF the single blocks thus pro-
duced is two feet long, one foot wide and nine
inches high, in the center of which are aper-
lures formed by growing the block all around
and perforating the center-the material, how
ever, being capable Ct formation into blocks
of any size, including quoin blocks tor work
ing at the angles OF buildings, and or am entail
holdings for cornces or string irses, to
meet all the various styles OF arcll'r tire now
in vogue for public and PRIV. findings.
When the blocks are put ioget.,. de aper-
lures, both vertical and horizon contin-
uous, allowing free circuw Nof air
throughout the entire wall, thus =, ing VEN
tilaton and dryness. The blocks can be
moved and fixed by the lewis, and can be laid
with great rapidity by an ordinary bricklayer.
OF the advantages claimed for this system,
mention may be made Of some of the princi-
pal, namely: Great strength, damp resisting
qualities, resistance to fire, expedition in use.
vermin expulsion, general applicability, sini-
tary qualities, inexpensiyenes, attractive ap-
pearance, facility of manufacture. etc. This
concrete block is nearly non-absorbent, Willie
common brick absorbs about pint Of wa
ter, and owing to the refractory nature OF its
component materials its fire-proof character
Is superior to almost all other building stock.
Messrs. Hear & Larabee have every facility
Tor producing this stone and have sufficient
quantity OF the raw material at hand to build
4 city the size OF London. The stone makes
a very pretty building, Its long. regular
blocks Of whitish gray are just enough varic-
gated to produce pleasing effect.

For the Eagle
Broken Vows.

Where the waters bleach the sand
Walked two lovers hand in hand,
Each to each had breathed vow
To be ever true as now.
And tho winds along the shore
Sang it lightly DER and DER.
Five years came and went, and 10
Where the waters ebb and flow,
Over sands lie driven snow,
There together, side by side,
Walked the lover and his bride.
But the one, who years before,
Walked with him the sea-beat shore,
Long ago herself had sold
For heap of yellow gold.
And the man with sivsred head
Thought no doubt twas him she wed.
And the bride who hand in hand,
Walked with him the bilIowy strand,
Never guessed how small part
She had welded OF his heart.
For full well the restless deep,
And low winds the secret keep.
Each had bartered love for gold,
Each had grown SO calm and cold,
That you ne'er would guess how oft,
When the summer winds blow soft,
Comes vision unto each,
OF whitley sanded beach,
That for them the shining shore,
Lies in shadow eyermore.
