IN MEMORIAM.

Mr.. John A. Wallace, assistant county
clerk, returned home night before last from
Brookville, when he had been hastily sum-
moned upon the death of his mother. Mrs.
Emeline Wallace come to Kansas with her
husband in 1856, being among the earlier
settlers. They first located at Iecompton,
the old territorial capital, afterwards moving
onto farm in Douglas county. She was
the mother of five children, all of whom are
living. She was devout christian mother,
having been a member Of the Methodist
church from her youth. She had lived out
the three-score years aud little more. Her
often expressed desire through life was that
she might die easily and peacefully. Her
prayer was fully granted, she having breathed
her last while calmly sleeping. The doctors
pronounced the tronble an asthnlatic afec-
ton. She had been busily getting ready tn
come down to visit her son in Wichita, and
Mr.. Wallace feels the affiiction all the more
keenlv on that account. But there is a home
"a country where time nor age nor any cir
can bar the loving ministrations
of mother to her children a place where
the day does not expire with the evenings
sun, but where perpetual youth viii have
added as many JOYS in number as the multi
plying stars of the universe. That day,
that home, that place, is no doubt rendered
brighter by the presence of the gentle, pa
tent and loving one, whose tranquil fight

WHAT A LIFE.

Ii was just after breakfast yesterday morn
ing at the Roost and while on the lookout
for the next down town car a figure passed
before the window, making direct tracks for
the pretty Danish maid who pressdes over
the kitchen. The conversation that ensued
We could not hear, but we saw the lips of
the Denmark miss, who was born in sight of
the spot where Hamlet's ghost used to stalk,
compress slightly as she shook her head.
"Poor fellow" we mentally calculated, "you
are doomed TO go away with mouthful of
curses rather than bellyful of breakfast"
As she continued to shake her determined
little head he slowly hauled from the depths
of his inside pocket an old soiled remnant of
a bandana, which went softly to his eyes
The Danish heart yielded in a moment and
both disappeared in the direction of the
kitchen door. In few moments after
wards, on going out, we discovered the hero
of the red handkerchief seated on the back
step with platter full of smoking victuals
and hot cup of coffee. In another moment
he was out in the street, and placing his fin
gers to bis mouth he gave whistle that
would have done no discredit to the pipes Of
Macpherson Conglokerty Angus McCan,
the plaided Scotchman, who blowed for love
and for Ellen McJones Aberdeen. He was
answered by his pard, who, no doubt, had
been equally successful in getting away with
the strings Of some other tender hearted
woman. Poor tramps, poor devils, what
life.
