els my shaving agreeable to you,
sir?' loquacious barber asked Gus
toner whom he had been Aaying alive.
"My wife would admire it very
much," rather indefinitely responded
the man under torture.
"Ah," said the barber with great
complacency, ''ladies are often excel
lent judges of their husbands being well
shaved. And you think mine will suit
her"
"No doubt of it in the world. 1t
was only this morning she became an
cry because told her | could not af-
ford to buy her new bonnet, and she
said l ought to be skinned alive"

"Blue StOcking."

In "Gleanings for the Curious" we
find the following account of the origin
of the term "blue stocking" 1t was
the fashion in London in 1881 for ladies
to have evening assemblies where they
might participate in conversation with
literary men. These societies acquired
the name of "Blue Stocking Clubs, p
an appellation which has been applied
to pedantic females ever since. 1t rose
from the custom of Mr.. Stillingheet,
one of the most eminent members,
wearing blue stockings. Such was the
excellence of his conversation, and his
absence was so great loss, that it used
to be said, "We can do nothing with
out the blue stocking" and thus the
title was gradually established. In
Hannah More's poem, "Bas Bleu, "
many of the most conspicuous members
are mentioned.

The bloom upon the branch must die
Before the tree can bear;
1t is the truth that wakes the sigh
And hope that brings despair.
The sun that paints the flower to-day
Will fade the flower tomorrow,
The longest joys will pass away
And end at last in sorrow.
1t is that thought informs the mind
That souls are filled with fear;
It is that nature is unkind
That starts the bitter tear.
The passing air by which we live
Still bears our breath away;
The hand which unto life doth give,
Prepares the bed of clay.
The brighter beams the steady light,
The darker falls the shade,
The colors most divinely bright
Are still the first to fade.
It is because all ties must part
That farewell words are spoken
1t is the love that fills the heart
By which the heart is broken.
Robert Burns Wilson.

and when I reached my usual seat there
was the mother robin, round, soft, fluffy
ball, asleep on her nest.
| sat down and cried bitterly. How
could anyone be SO cruel as to take even
one of those pearly treasures from under
that warm, downy bosom? What was all
the science in the world compared to the
budding life in that small nest In my
indignant mind [ consigned all students
of natural history to tie bottom of the Red
Sea, and | am very much afraid, my
brother Jim amongst them In the mean
time, reused by the slight noise | made,
thh robin, with little plaintivec cry, darted
off her nest and perching on pinnacle
of stone sat regarding me with her bright
black eyes, looking exactly as if she knew
what was passing in my mind. All, how
cruel and treacherous she would think me
before this nights work should be over !
But it must be done, and dashing away my
tears rose and approached the nest.
As did SO, a ray of moonlight breaking
through cloud shone full on the nest, and
something bright spanked as the light fell
on it. I thought at first it was my silver
thimble, which Jim after all had not
brought away with him, but I was mista-
ken. AS bent over the nest the robin
was for moment forgotten, and | could
not help uttering an exclamation of aston
shment. / had never been very near it
before for fear of startling the bird, but |
had always thought she had found very
snug and somewhat curious hollow for her
self between two stones in the wall. What
was my surprise to find the nest carefully
placed within another hollow which looked
like the inside of cup! Yes, on gently
lifting aside some Of the overhanging bits
Of moss, | sawit was sort of large goblet
with stem to it, like some of our glass
tumblers at home, which had been firmly
fixed stem downwards between two large
stones, and IN which the robin had built
her nest.
My first thought was of my father, and
| how much he would rnioica at ouob . o,,
ious sight my second, however, was that
my task would be made much easier bv
the presence Of thecup. II Icould succeed
in digging it out, the nest could be moved
to another hiding place without being much
disturbed. So l began my work the robin
tlotterlng about me meantime with piteous
cries which went to my heart and caused
my hands to shake and the tears once more
to run down my cheeks. '''''

evidently the cup had been imbcddod 3bero

Ellen was generally asleep in five min

Brown spied him.
Brown was in his wagon with the
sign of his profession on the side.
Whipping up his horse he came az
close to the doctor as gossible, and glanc-

maker.
Calling to the monument-maker to
hurry up, Brown called out:
$50 on. doctor, go on; we're coming"
The dobtor looked round, and dismay
was pictured on his countenance.
He whipped up his horses, but all to
no purpose, the undertaken and the
monument maker following closely.
At last the ridiculous part of the thing
struck him, and leaning hack in hia
buggy he gave vent to his laughter, in
spite of the thought:

Report of the Attorney General.

On the 9Th Of October Gov. Martin sent q
letter to Attorney General Bradford, asking
him to ascertain the real facts touching the
enforcement of laws in Kansas and especial
the enforcement of the prohibitory law.
On the ga of October the attorney gen.
eral replied to this inquiry which has been
printed, making eight pages of large sized
pamphlet.
The summing up of the attorney general
is as follows:
In conclusion allow me to say: Kansas
has a population Of about one and one
quarter millions of people; 1t has eighty
i've organized counties; In sixty-two of
these counties, only 525 convictions have
been had for the various criminal laws of
the state since January LIST, 1885. That two
hand ed and thirty of that number are con-
victions for the prohibitory law. Fifty-two
Of the eighty-hve counties in the state re-
port that they have no saloons. Eight Of
the other counties report that the lev is
partially enforced. Two counties say the Ia Y
IL not enforced, and We may infer that very
little has been done to enforce il. To the
last two counties I will add the counties of
Atchison. Ford and Leavenworth, where
the law 10 openly and notoriously violated,
making . report from sixty-three counties
In the state. About seventy mine per cent.
of oil the cases brought for the violation OF
the prohibitory law result in the cow fiction
OF tine defeD dants, which shows very
healthy condition Of public sentiment q; on
that question.
Yours very respectfully,
s. b. BRADFORD. Attorney General.

COW killed by . railway train employed
him to prosecute suit for damages and
Storms got verdict for SIS. a few days
after the farmer came in, rubbing his
hands in great glee and congratulated
Storms on the great eloquent speech he
made to the jury.

than $15," said the farmer, and how you
got SIS for her is more than can COM
prehend. It must have been that speech
Of yours. know it was that speech,
and I'll pay you literally, my boy. Have

your share"
Flows that?" asked the astonished
farmer.
"Well, you say your old COW was
worth only $15, and my speech was
worth SEQ; amt you satisfed?"
"Waal, no." responded the farmer; II
dent think it's quite honest"
"Then take that, you damned cor
morant," exclaimed Mr.. Storms, throwing
out another S. bill.
