He walked up and down the library,
with Stella's disappointment and Lady
Lorings indignation prophetically pre-
sent in his mind. There was, however.
no help for it--he must accept his re-
sponsibility, and he the bearer of the
bad news.
He was on the point OF leaving the
library when visitor appeared. The
visitor was no less person than
Romayne himself.
"Have I arrived before my letter ?"
he asked, eagerly.
Lord Loring showed him the letter.
"Thow it into the fire." he said !;
"and let me try to excuse myself for
having written it. You remember the
happier days when you used to call me
the creature of impulses An impulse
produced that letter. Another impulse

A Reporters Rich strike.

Says the Philadelphia Record: Two
years ago the Western fever took possess
sion OF the soul OF William Il. Jones, a
Philadelphia newspaper reporter.
While his mind seemed filled with the
Idea OF starting out for q wilderness
where he could pitch his lodge and
grow up with the country, bis fellow
scribes, knc wing that his bank account
was not as big as Jay Gould's, and that
the walking was bad and the Indians
at that time were searching for the top
knots OF dove.eyed young men, took
turns at him ~ dissuade him from his
purpose. But their eloquence was
wasted. Jones had broken out bad
with the fever, and go he would il his
shoes held together. Finding him fixed
IN his purpose, he was referred to Lou
Donnelly, then Fifth ward statesman
in common COUNCILLOR Donnelly had
been West looking after his silver mine,
and was regarded as lust the right sort
OF person to advise tender young man
as to how he should conduct himself in
Western society. Donnelly looked at
Jones and saw q good bead OF hair, a
pale face over which q fragile wbisker
was struggling, and form that indica-
ted he was in no manner related to the
Cardiff giant.
IF you will go West, Jones, and
want to make your mark, you will have
to have your scratch and lick your
man. AS long as you are in it lick him
good, and your fortune Is made" He
didn't look 1t. but there was not square
Inch OF cowardice in the whole ANATOMY
OF Jones. who, thanking Donnelly for
his consideration. seized bis grip sack
and strdck for the railroad depot and
Jet out. The next time Mr.. Jones was
heard from he was doing service ms city
editor Of the Denver Tribune.
Time passed on and nothing further
was learned of the adventurous and am
bilious reporter until yesterday, when
Mr.. Donnelly returned from the land OF
silver mines and bowie knives. When
questioned about Jones the miner smiled
all over, and remarked: He struck q
big deal In that advice gave him, sure.
He had been in Denver but short time
when long-haired knife-swallower
tackled him. 1t was the talk OF the town.
Jones went for that chunk of humanity
and chawed him right up. The next
day he was made managing editor of a
Leadville paper. He's a popular man
out that way. Now he owns paper OF
his own. And what does he do but
marry Miss OBrien, of Leadville, a
daughter Of one Of the wealthieSt and
most prominent men of the place."
Indications point TO q hegfra of Phila-
delphia reporters to the enterprising
West.

Words Of Wisdom.

Faith steps in TO our aid when our
boasted reason and knowledge fail.
Kind words are better than gold, and
the voice Of a friend has saved many q
man from ruin.
Some Of the grandest things which
have been achieved were by those whom
we thought orr interiors.
Narrow not your mind to your own
selhshness, but give 1t broad field for
your fellow men to work In.
A man is not necessarily your friend
because he compliments or hatters you.
Sometime the rose which has the sweet
est smell hides sharp thorn.
1t IL better to praise q man for his vir-
tues, although they may be few and his
faults many, than to condemn him for
his faults and forget his virtues.
The chief art Of attaining u 10 learn
bat little ct time. The widest excur-
sions of the mind are made by short
flights, frequently repeated.
Duty. though set about by thorns,
may be made q staff, supporting even
while II tortures. Cast it away, and
like the prophets wand, 1t changes to q
snake.
Greatness stands upon . precipice, and
II prosperity. unbalanced bye moral
suasion, carries q man ever so little be-
yond his poise. 1t overbears end dsshes
him to pieces.
Marrow minded mon, who have not q
thought beyond tine sphereof their own
outlook, remind one of the Hindoo
maxim: THE snail sees nothing bui
his own shell, aud thinks it is the grand.
est palace In the universe"
The habit of rejecting gives an inner
lie, which all that we see animates and
embellishes. In this disposition of the
soul. everything becomes an object OF
thought. If the young botanist trembles
with joy at the sight Of . new plant, the
moral botanist joys NO less to see ger
inmate around him truths with much
superior prize to that of an unknown
dower. l 7

the practicability Of raising in a dis
stfecied country, out Of the disaffscted
classes, a body Of men presenting COM
bination OF military and police who
have shown ever since they were
formed, some forty years ago, an un-
swearing fidelity to the flag under which
they serve. These men must have had
any amount Of kith and kin engaged In
ressonAble practices. yet they have never
failed In being leal and true to the
government whose uniform they wear,
and this although the remuneration is
such as New York policeman would
regard with sovereign disdaiu, for not
tan per cent. oil the royal Irish receive
Che remuneration ofour patrolmen. The

eaptic are some Of these fellows-who

The decision of Judge Morton, in the
Shawnee District Court, of that whis-
key cnse-known as the "test case"
which has since been taken to the SUI
preme Court, is as follows:
I. That the so-called prohibition
amendment" to the Constitution was
legally adopted, ratified and became q
part of the Constitution by the vote of
the electors Of the state Of Kansas, at
the November election Of 1850.
=. That the said Amendment was le-
g.,ily submitted, and SO submitted. rs
TO enable the electors to vote upon 1t
separately.
5. That by the vote cast at said cleo
ton the said proposed Amendment be-
came part of the Constitution of the
State of Kansas.
4. That upon the decision of the
Board of State Canvassers being an
nOunced and published the PrOhibi-
ton Amendment" became u part of
the Constitution.
). That from and after that time all
licenses to sell intoxicating liquors be-
came and were null and void, except
that the licensee might sell for medi.
cal, scientific and mechanical pur-
poses.
6. That while the adoption of the
amendment" abrogated all licenses
previously issued and prevented COun-
~ Commissioners and cities from issu-
ing licenses to sell intoxicating liquors,
il still left in force the penal provision
OF chapter 81, of Compiled Laws of
1879, which provide that "any person
without taking out and having a
license as grocer, dram-shOp keeper or
tavern keeper who shall, directly or in
directly. sell any spirituOus, vinous or
fermented, or other intoxicating
liquors. shall be fined in any sum not
more than one hundred dollars, etc."
Z. That all powers of County Com
missioners and City Councils to issue
licenses being revoked, and all licen-
ses previously granted being made
null and void by the adoption of the
amendment, any sale of intoxicating
liquor, except under the exceptions
named in the amendment, is illegal.

THE preliminary meeting Of the
Farmers Convention, having for its
object the formation of a State Alli-
ance, convened in Topeka, Tuesday.
Twenty-Five counties were represented.
Maj. Sims, of Shawnee county, was
chosen Chairman. A committee on
order of business for the State Conven-
ton was appointed, with T. H. Cavan-
augh as chairman, after which the
meeting adjourned.
Upon the converting of the conven-
ton the following day, there were
between two and three hundred dele
gates present. Although the program
for work laid out is a good one, the
prospect for much being accomplished
is not great There are too many poll
ticians in the body. Farmers Sam
Wood, ID. p. Mitchell, Nelson
Adams, Chas. Robinson, Judge Eme-
~, Tom. Cavanaugh, Col. Holiday.
Kelley Of Sedgwick, c. s. Aldrich,
H. b. Kelley, of Mcpherson, and fell
lows of that agricultural grade, may,
perhaps, mean well enough. We have
some doubt of their accomplishing any
great reforms. One of the delegates
went SO far as to Say that the Railroads
had captured the convention. Mr..
Cavanaugh, of this city, was made
both temporary and permanent chair
man of the convention.
