duty Of every t.x.paying citizen interested
in this matter to speak and to speak freely,
We want to have our say. In tho drst place,
We want new route; one that Will not hsz-

know Of but one practicable route inde-
to leave the present county road At the cor

county road running on . line between Mrs.

Hughsy Rice farm, and there lnterseot with
the same county road. (Which makes q cir.

and Columbus road, at point between the
farms Of Messrs. Ethan Allen and James
Callahan. That this can be made good

something to grade and work this route.
Now comes the second consideration. Who
shall pay for this work We answer It 10
the duty our county court to SOS that the
owners Of the Missouri Pacific railway shsll
make and properly bridge this road to the
point where 1t tntersects the Columbus
road. And we feel 1t the duty of every
man interested, to urge this matter upon
the county court. Remember. the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company has notices in all
of her dspo's that all persons walking upon
the railway track or right-oi-wsy, shall be
deemed trespssssra and SO dealt with. Let

A writer In the st. Louis Republican says
ga statement is made that there srs at preset
nine millions Of children In, the United States
who are entirely outside Of Sunday school cul-
ture and influences. The churches have not the
facilities of reaching them. or they Of reaching
the churches, and as consequence they are
growing up in. religious illiteracy - Yet the
churches ere busy soliciting money to estsblish
missions in the far corners Of the world and
clothe the little hsathenS who live In tropical
climes and do not want clothing. There must
be great deal of bodily sufrrinE from hunger
and cold among these nine million children at
home, aside from iack of spiritual culture. But
our nine million starving children must walt un-
til the little ,leathens are pampsred with sunday
sckoel rigs and red-hot religion. Il doesn't
look either righteous or right" There Is foed
for reflection In the paragraph. even for the
church people OF Lexington.

gives this simple and Inexpensive means Of

Now take . cord that will ran easily through the

on one side, and pass the cord through the holes
in the horns to the other ring. The wire shoald

And when compared with potatoes,
which they most nerrly approach, It
must he remembered that the fat-form-
er in potatoes being in the form Of
starch, require cooking to obtain q
maximum result, while in the arti.
choke they are in the form Of saccha-
rinc matter and readily assimilatable
in a raw state.
While the improved varieties of arti-
chokes are valuable feed for all kinds
of stock, as well as q table vege.
table, their greatest value is being
incomparably the best and cheapest
food that can be grown for hogs, as it
is by no means impossible to fatten
from so to 100 hogs of of one acre of
ground without any labor of harvest
ing or digging the tubers, all that is
necessary being to turn the hogs in in
the fall, when they will do the digging
themselves, and when taken off III good
condition they will leave the ground
well plowed, seeded and manured for
next seasons crop without expense to
the farmer; of course, to obtain pork Of
the best quality it will be necessary to
harden them off with few bushels of
grain, corn, peas, beans, or similar
food.

THE WAYS OF sHODDY SOCIETY

The Goldfish AristOcracy Of New Work.
City--VuIgar Displays Of Wealth.
Joe Howard in Philadelphia Press.
There is not q man in town who doesn't
remember that twenty years ago, when Van
derbilt, the senior, was interested in the ac-
emulation of the fortune on which the pres
ent family now live, and having barely
emerged from his flatboat experience, toiling
with his estimable and ever-helpful wife,
who to the day of her death never forgot her
hardships as a bar maid in the wilds of New
Jersey, that William was then the butt of
Staten island, damned literally by his father
and laughed at by his neighbors. No one
twenty years ago thought of considering
Commodore Vanderbilt as Sin society"
After little he got into alleged society, but
what kind Of society was ita It was the kind
of society whose position is measured by the
number of yards of gilt frame in his drawing
room or picture gallery, kind of society
which would be staggered by grammar and
feel very uncomfortable in dress suit.
When Bernhardt came here, don't you re-
member there S-as desperate effort made to
gain for her social success, which resulted,
as far as New York is concerned, in ridic-
ulous fizzlea The one bit of society that she
saw was dinner party given by a swell
head named Cutting, to which some twenty
or more men were invited, but no ladies'
We have newspapers which purport to give
so-called fashionable intelligence" such as,
for instance, when Tweed's daughter was
married there was furnished to the news
papers of the day-all of them, and some of
them printed it-a list of the young lady's
wardrobe, giving not only the number of
jewels in her hair, but the chemisettes for her
body, so many petticoats, SO many stockings,
so many nightgowns, so many this, that and
the other
When the daughter of William H. Wander
bilt first appeared in ballroom in Saratoga,
very richly and becomingly attired, an inter
ested party paid the reporter of so-called
fashionable paper $50 to describe her APP
pearance and her dress. He did it and the
paper printed it. When the $780, 1000 Van
derbilt hall' was given, lists were sent to
every paper in this city of the names of the
people who were to appear, what they were
to wear, and what their dresses cost Also,
what was paid to the caterer, and how much
the several cooks in the several Vanderbilt
houses were paid per annum. Minute details
of wedding breakfasts, of parties, of dinners,
and of suppers are given regularly, which
clearly show that they must have been fur
nished either by the host, seeking to make
some busybody Of a guest reckless of the
courtesies and proprieties of life.
More recently, of course, you recollect the
experience of Oscar Wilde, whose business
manager made desperate endeavors to get
