What Felix Did.

Years before there was a society for
checking cruelty to animals, an Irish
man living in London, used to distin-
guish himself by defending horses
from ill-treatment. Felix Mccarthy,
for that was his name, stood six feet
FIVE inches in his stocking feet.
Though priding himself on his giants
strength and that the purest blood of
the Macs and O'S flowed in his veins,
yet he put both blood and Drawn at

animals.
Meeting one day a carter, who was
beating his horse because the poor
beast could not draw the overloaded
cart up a steep hill, Felix ordered the
man to desist. The carter replied by
striking Felix over the head with his
heavy whip.
In an instant a blow from the giants
fist laid the human brute in the street.
The Irishman then seized the carter,
lifted him up, tossed him into his cart,
and drove to the police court, where
the man was fined.
In defending his favor1tes, Felix
knew neither high nor low. He once
saw a noble lord beating the fine horse
he was riding about the head with a
stick. The indignant Irishman seized
the bride and raising his right arm in
a threatening gesture, said:
''Desist from batting your horse, or
I'll make your

She Enioyed cold Weather.

The recent spell of weather calls
attention to a recent article in Littelg's
I,iving Age called "a Lady's Life in
Manitoba. The writer says she bought
frozen milk by the pound all winter;
mustard froze in the mustard pot,
which stood foot from the kitchen
stovepipe and twofeet above the stove,
where there was a blazing fire all day.
The Kittens ears froze, and broke off;
so did the ears of a neighbor's pony.
A pail OF water left In the kitchen all
night would freeze solid before morn
ing. When she had been ironing the
top of a pocket handkerchief the lower
part you'd freeze on the table. The
thermometer went to 81 degrees below
zero. This is commented on at con-
siderable length, and then comes this
remark: eBut I say deliberately that

of most that makes possible the self

CARDS who make possible the one gen
rOu man.
The moralist wAo declines TO face
facts may denOunce sentiment, but is
sentimental still. His doctrine, being
sentimental, can be reduced to no
plain or ineligible principle; and as it
does now consist with itself, it would
fain make amends by being angry like
an illogical man or fearful like an il
logical woman. But no tears or ours
eS tell so much as a lucid indication of
facts. All of us feel the mystery Of our
situation, and all would like to have
even the least light thrown upon it.
Merely to show us an enormous spec
ter of the Broken which mimics all
our struggles is not showing us the
way over the hill. Anybody who is
good for anything has quite enough
termenting in his inside. 1t is wisdom,
not excitement, that he wants from a
teacher.
Sentimental moralizing always tends
to paradox, and the mOralizing done
by men of letters is no exception to
the rule. Like other preachers, they
must live; they must live by moving
their hearers, and they can best move
their hearers by means of the fresh and
wonderful to which their own eager
and mercurial temperament inclines.
Thus the new priesthood is not less
sorely tempted than was the old; and
less than the old, if less be conceivable,
is the new priesthood expected to
practice what it breaches. How often
of late have we seen men, themselves
the artificial luxuries of Il most luxu-
rious and artificial society, advocate
innovations which would make all
Britain a less comfortable place than
any Benedictine monastery! AS these
men do not lack imagination, they
must needs lack seriousness. Nor is
it a light matter that we should read
their discourses merely as we would
listen to a prima donna. Nothing
more d~emoralizes than a sermon deliv-
cred by a man who is sure that it will
not be acted upon t. men who do not
mean to act upon it, and know that,
if they did, the person most confound-
ed would be the preacher himself

IT RAINS AND RAINS

Regularly every spring our files are con-
suited for the date Of the big overflow, the
parties forgetting that the water got only
foot or two above the banks of the Little
River which were leveed and embarked long
since. 1t seems odd that the average inhab-
liant can't remember from one year to an
other The great rain fall of the year in this
section occurs at this season, generally be-
tween the 10Th of May and the 18th Of June
This year we are getting it in earnest which,
added to a backward and wet spring, rem

considerable size is full including the Mime

bridges have been washed out on the South

Of counties. On Saturday morning several
creeks between Wichita and Wellington
were out of their banks and nil the railroads

A MOTHER DROWNED.

Hon. Il. J. Hukle writes us the news OF
deplorable accident. Last Sunday. some
eight miles southeast of Clearwater, near
Boon postoffice, party consisting of some
six or eight went out for boat ride on the
Minnesota, among the party Mrs. james
Morrison and her eighteen year old son and
a baby in her arms. By some chance, or
mischance, the party lost control Of the boat
in the swift rushing current and it was in an
instant swsmped, Mrs. Morrison and her
child being thrown into the wild and murky
waters. The mother, in her wild dispair,
managed to keep up till the baby was
reached for and saved by the son, but the
righted boat being nearly full Of water he
had no place to lay the child while he should
endeavor to save the struggling mother, who
sank before his eyes and was not seen again
Up TO last evening her body had not beer
found. The rest of the party all managed
TO reach shallow water and the shore. The
scene Of the disaster was just across the line
in Sumner county near Boon. Mr.. Morri
son, who is left to mourn the terrible fate
of his wife, is one of the Oldest settlers o
Sumner county, moving to his present hom'
| from Indiana.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

General A. l. Lee Is in the city visi ing
his brother. II. G. Lee. General Albert
Lee was prominent figure in early Kansas
times, being a bright lawyer and brilliant
orator Of Doniphan county. On the break
ing out of the war he entered the army and
rapidly rose to the position of brigadier gen.
eral. Some of his brilliant and dashing cav
airy charges gave him proud distinction
among the brave soldiers of the west. OF
course Kansas was proud Of him. After
the war be went south, and, in few years
of commercial life, at New Orleans, amssed
a fortune. For the past few years, we be-
lieve, he has lived much abroad, particular
lv in Paris, from whence he now halls. His
father, DR.. Lee, of New York, in his life
time visited Wichita several times, making
some investments here, and was
reader Of the EAGLE up to the time o:
his death. The last time we
met the Gen eral WIS just ri the close Of the
war at the old Bratton house. Burlingame.
where We spent an evening with hi'n and
another gifted son OF Kansas, the lamented
and unfortunate Marcus J. Parrot. When
Gen. Lee left Kansas there was no Wichita,
and southwest Kansas meant the region
around abont Emporia and the Cottonwood
bottoms. He comes back to find few
counties then uninhabited territory contain
ing more people than the entire state when
he led his brigade down the border. Many
the great majority-of the heroic and proud
spirits with whom Albert Lee, the young
and ambitious barrister associated twenty
yeors ago, have joined the silent majority
but bis name would still appear in its proper
place with those of Wilder, Martin, An
thony, Osborn, Plumb, Stotler, Miller,
Speer, Thaeher, Ingalls, and very few
Others. They were all boys then; all grey
headed men now.
