WHAT KIND OF AN EDITOR HE WILL BE

We hope the Ladies Relief corps, the G.
A. L., the church organizations and the w.
c. T. L., all realize what is before them this
winter. There will be more abundant op-
portunities TO lay up treasure in Heaven
than often falls in the way of hearts that
only seek to do good. Some incidents of
distress and anxiety reached our ears yester-
day the recital of which hurt away in. This
is an awful spell of weather, pittiless. stern
and relentless to heroicly face which one
wants to know that bright fires, plenty to
eat and warmth all await him or her after
the day is done and night has closed down.
One don't have to stop TO think what it
would be to go home such a night as last night
was only to find hunger and cold and in the
darkness huddled and crouched together,
his own helpless flesh and blood-wife and
babies. Times are hard, We know, and mon
ey Is scarce. We realize, and many of us can
not yet see how We are to meet all the
bills ard payments that must be met be-
tween now and the time when the buds and
flowers shall again open, but let US put our
hands in our pockets, shut our eye. as to
how much We are pulling out and, those
who can't trust God for the outcome, can
trust TO fortune and to luck. Permit us to
say that good fortune and happy luck always
follows the blessings bestowed by grateful
heart Who hasn't had his or her soul
filed with sunshine by the simple benedic-
ton of a common street beggar! We are
not ashamed to own that we have. Let the
EAGLE have the reports of all you do in an
organized capacity, as for that done person.
ally there is an editor whose presses do not
run by steam, who plucks his quilts from
his angelic wings, that will write it all down
in letters which will look to you as big as a
circus bill when you get to Heaven and are
told that "inasmuch as you did it unto .he
least of these We did it unto me-"

WICHITA NATIONAL BANK.

The new desking of the above named in
stitution was finished yesterday. There ia no
more elaborate or beautiful piece of Office
furniture to be seen; even in New York. 1t
is made OF alternate pieces of black walnut,
red cherry, rosewood and birdseye maple.
with pillars of black walnut projecting about
two feet above each individual desk. The
grating in front of each large glass is silver
plated, and each department has its apPro-
pirate sign in silver letters, in the following
order: Paying teller, receiving teller and
collections, foreign and domestic exchange,
bookkeeper A to J, bookkeeper X to z.
The moulding is of singularly artistic
fashion, painted in green and gold, the
whole combining to form the richest and
most elegant Office furnishing it has ever
been our privilege TO see. It ELECTED re-
marks of admiration from all who entered
the bank YESTERDAY.

Times are duh and this is not the real es-
tate mems harvest by any means, yet trade
/, not entirely stagnsnt and there is some
thing being done even at this season. This
is demonstrated by the fact that during week
before last n. F. Niederlander disposed Of
about $4,000 worth of property, including
one $4,000 sale. Last week he made 8
$4,000 sale and disposed Of several other
nice properties. making total for last week
of about $4,000. These are, of course,
small results as compared with the transac-
tions Oh like periods within the regular sea-
son, yet it is conclusive evidence that some
thing is doing even now.
