If the EAGLE bowed as much, proper
tionately, over Wichita as the Wellington

respective towns, people would think that
we had gone crazy. A description of Para
disc n the most moderate language could
hardly fail of being attractive. Our friends
should remember that there is much in the
subject The cold facts about Wichita and
Sedgwick county when put in the plainest
Saxon, sounds no doubt in the ears Of less
favored communities, like the recital of
some wonderful dream. If the Wellington
Press man or the Winfield Courier man and
several others that we wot of, lived in
Wichita and should attempt to extol in the
same extravsgant degree ordinarily en-
ployed by them in describing the advan-
tages of their respective towns, the glories
of this city and county, the state would give
them a home in one of her asylums without

He Was Al Liar Himself.

The usual crowd was sitting at the club
the other evening, listening to Stretchit
his recent trip south. Gawley was
among the number, but paid very little
attention to statements which had ex-
cited the liveliest interest in the others.
This appeared to nettle Stretchit some
what, and he prepared to make an
unusual effort to rouse Gawley's interest.
Eyes, gentlemen" he said, "the Florida
climate is a remarkable one. All nature
seems to expand under its genial influ-
ence and both the animal and vegetable
kingdom produce wonderful specimens
of development. For instance, going up
the St. Johns river on the steamer, / one
morning beheld what seemed to be the
trunk CT an enormous tree floating in
the water. To my surprise i was told
it was an alligator, and not considered
very large one for those parts either. L
secured rifle and, strange as it may
seem, shot him is the one vulnerable
point. When we reached our destination
which happened to be the next landing,
/ took a Niger and dog out to 60 back
and have a look at my alligator. We
lowed him up to the shore and measured
him. That alligator measured sixty
three feet and five inches from the end
of bis nose to the tip of his tail. What
do you think of that, Gawley? An ALI
gator sixty-three feet and five inches
long. Doesn't that astonish your"
NO." said Gawley, quietly. "I'm a
liar myself" Buffalo Express.

er.beaten cheeks were swollen from
rough experience in a shelterless harbor
and his tattered yellow. coat tapped
mournfully in the breezy rush of traffic.
Thers was signal of distress through
the top of the hat aud his shoes had
sprung leak amidships, fore and att.
"Sail, ho!" he feebly cried, but the
sails sheered away and he was left adrift.

he asked for money TO obtain nights

added to himself. and forthwith he seized
a well dressed citizen.

Certainly, poor fellow; here's quar-

AT A STREET CORNER.
An Indignant Husband Thrashes His
Wife,s ParamOur.

A tall, heavily built man, wearing
black mustache which was neatly waxed,
took up a position near a lamp post at
the southwest corner of State and
Randolph streets. On his head he wore
a shiny piLg Lat, and an enormous gold
chain conpected the upper pockets of an
embroidered vest. In the middle Of the
chain hung a silver champaign bottle
watch charm, and in his hand he held a
light bamboo cane with hammered
silver head. He appeared to be anxious
ly waiting for some one, and eased his
nervousness by pctulantly tapping his
heel with the slender cane. He gazed
searchingly into the face of every we'll
dressed woman who passed, and occasion
ally varied the mOnotony by assuming
ferocious air and staring at the men who
passed hurriedly by. Five minutes
elapsed and an ugly scowl settled upon
the face of the waiting man.
At this moment little square
shouldered man, with short but muscular
legs, darted across the street to the
corner. His appearance was in striking
contrast to that of the large swell under
the lamp post. A SLOUGH hat covered
bis head, he wore business pepper and
salt suit, and his feet were incased in
substantial cowhide shoes. He paused
a moment, as if gathering his energies,
and then sprang at the throat of the big
man with the ferocity of tiger. The
big man jumped back and dropped his
care, but The little man had got firm
grip on the big mans throat with his left
hand. With his right he struck the big
man a powerful blow in the eye. He
followed this with several vigorous kicks
and planted several more blows upon
the big man, who did not resist, but
struggled to FREE himself The small
man continued to pound and kick his
victim until the dandified swell was
transformed into very disreputable
looking fellow, with bloody face and
black eyes. The small man paused tor
breath, still holding the big nan by the
throat

man, releasing his grasp upon the collar
of the big man. eff you ever cross my
path again iii kill you"
The big fellow picked up his nat and
hastily jumped upon passing car.
A moment afte-ward pretty little
woman dressed in black care to the
corner and looked anxiously about. She
caught sight of the small man in the
street Just as he saw her. She uttered a
little scream and turned as if about to
run. The man was by her side in IN
instant. He caught her by the arm.
"You come home with me-" he said to
her In a calm voice. 81 have attended
to that fellow"
The woman gave another start, but
walked quietly away with the small
man.

An AWFUL SIGHT WAS THERE.
The dead girl was on the floor, face down,
with arms Outstretched. Claspet in her

The doctor was keeling on the floor beside
her, with his hand on his stomach. He

she cried, with an altered tone.
This time he obeyed.
She took several steps, then stopped.
He was going back, and without turning

despair, sudden yearning for one more
look of his face seized her. Her lips
opened ard called his name, but the
sound strangled in her throat.
Turning, she crept onward, homeward.
She dragged herself close to the walls.
She reached the plaza. She opened the
