ATramp,s Benediction.

A Kentucky girl has received fortune on
the death Of an aged tramp to whom she
once spoke pleasantly. The words she used
do not seem to have been recorded; but we
expect to be sustained in assuming that she
did not ask the wandering Croesus to saw
wood or hoe the onions or shovel snow from
side walk; since no one ever gains the es-
TEEN and gratitude of tramp by any of these
courses. The hearts of our ragged knights
do not unlock before anything in the
shape ofwork. The hundred thousand Amer
lean girls who are eager to entertain some
vagrant angel unawaIes may be assured Of
that
Such an occurrence as this Kentucky affair
not only introduces new way to entertain
the tramping fraternity and our preiudices
still lean toward the bull dog and the shot
gun loaded with beans-but it illus
trates the possibilities of tramp
ing as means of wealth.
1t has long been understood that the Sc
knights of the road are the only nobility in
this country. They are the best entitled to
have coat of arms, although your genuine
| tramp scorns to bear any escutcheon more
cumbrous than the protruding portion of an
undcr-garment Even our Goulds and Van
derbilts cannot live without expanding some
fraction Of their income; but the knights OF
the road neither earn nor spend money
they simply levy. They can even, as the
story cited and narrative show, accumulate
riches and leave legacies. There is no end
to the good "a rich tramp can do with his
wealth; and it will not give surprise TO learn
that the peregrinating Kentuckian has left
funds for a church, besides six or eight
Western colleges. We trust that our college
presidents and representatives of distressed
churches will see the wisdom of speaking
kindly to tramps, and thus getting an inter
est in this newly discovered "mammon Of
unrighteousness."

AYERS PTTLS

contain no mineral nor poisonous SUBJ
stance, and do not grippe unless the
bowels are irritated, and even then their
influence is healing. To continue their
effect in constipated or chronic cases, they
need only be taken In diminishing instead
of increasing doses. For seamen, and in
habitants or travellers in sparsely settled
countries where physicians are not at
nand, they are of inestimable value.
There is hardly a sickness they will not
alleviate, and in most cases cure, if taken
promptly. To young girls just entering
upon womanhood. and to women whose
period of maternity is drawing TO a close,
Ayers Pills, in moderate doses, merely
sufficient TO ensure regular action of the
bowels, will be found of
EncaIcuIable Value.

Special Re ports from the GLOBE Mankato Office

THE latest rumor, Just received, regard
ing the talented actress Mary Anderson,
is that she has expressed an unalterable
determination to become a Carmelite nun.
Of course there is not the least foundation
in fact for the statement. but it is cabled
3 to this country at the rate Of a dollar q
word and checrfully printed in the Ameri-
can papers. No woman on the American
stage has been SO thoroughly advertised of
late as Mary Anderson, and the mean
resorted to at times to keep her name
before the public can be considered as
little less than disreputable. The irrepres
sible John X. Rogers has been deluging
the newspaper Offices with gossip about
Minnie Palmer since that bright actress
has been in Europe, but he has not been
a whit more busy in this respect than DIR.
Ham Griffin, the feather weight step
father of Miss Mary Anderson. The re-
port was first industriously circulated and
widely published that Miss Anderson bad
refused to receive a call from the Prince
of Wales. This, of course, was
made up out Of the whole
cloth. Then it was given out successfully
that she was engaged to be married to
several English peers. One Of them
found it necessary to contradict the report
through the press, and in doing so said
he had never even had the pleasure OF
seeing Miss Anderson. The actress
made a remarkable hit in Dublin, where
the people actually went wild with de
light over her PROJECTIONS. The result is
some cheap advertising relative to her in
tention of entering a convent. 1t is
generally understood that Miss Anderson
herself does not give u
tenance to this trickery, but on the con
trary is annoyed by it, DR.. Hamilton
Griffin, however, is disposed to make hay
while the sun shines out of the accom-
plishments Of his beautiful step daughter.
He is a person who is perfectly capable of
STOPPING to any means to accomplish his
ends, and while Miss Anderson remains
under his domination she may expect to
have her private affairs ruthlessly exposed
to the public gaze. DR.. Hamilton Griffin
should be sat upon,

Ex-GovERNoR ST. JoHN, of Kansas,
has received the nomination of the Pro-
hibition and Home Protection party for
the Presidency. His declination of the
honor was read in advance, but whisper
ing he'd ne'er consent he accepted
the nomination all the same. St Johns
principal competitor for the honor was
DIR. Mcdonald. a retired patent medicine
vender, of San Francisco. Previous to
the gathering Of the convention a ridicul-
Gus rumor was circulated to the effect that
if nominated the doughty doctor would
put a million dollars into the campaign
fund, The doctors boom was advancing
swimmingly when some bitter enemy
started the rumor that the great physi-
clans Health Yigor,' out of which he
had made his fortune had secured its
wonderful popularity from the fact that
its chief compound was whisky. The
rumor was promptly denied, but that set
tied the Doctors goose in a Prohibition
convention, and ST. John received the
nomination by reclamation.

after fsting eight consecutive hours each

he is positive he won the great race, and

SPECIAL NOTICES.

To the Editor Of The Daily Eagle:
At my last visit TO Wichita had the OPP
portunity to visit the photograph gallery of
W. S. Rogers. and was much surprised to
see the fine work, which | have never seen
surpassed in the largest galleries Of the
east, that is turned out By Mr.. Rogers, I'M
der the direct supervision of his genial ar
list, Mr.. Ross. who, by the way, is AN
artist OF rare accomplishments, besides be-
ing thorough gentleman, who had worked
at the fine gallery of Pans Il Berlin. The
novel way in which Mr.. Roys treats all his
customers, and the rapidity with which he
turns out the finest pictures, makes 1t a
pleasure for ladies and children to have
their pictures taken. Another step taken
by Mr.. Rogers in the right direction Is the
addition Of timely furnished ladies' toilet
room-which is indispensable TO a.flne and
frst-class gallery. which MIR. Rogers intends
to keep only. Thanking Mr.. X. again for
the brilliant pictures made for me by Mr..
Roys. which could not duplicate at Kan.
sas City, anu Yours truly,

ever they are evidently fall apple rs they
are nearly ripe, being an even colored yell
lowish-green and Mr.. +. says an excellent
cooking apple. Fifteen of them made a
peck measure full.
James Menefee came In shortly after
wards With three apples measuring thir-
teen inches each, of the Pound-Pippin va
riety, which now lie before us on the table.
They are magnificent beauties, such as
would convince any skeptic Of the excel.
lent fruit bearing qualities of this valley.
