HOW THINGS GO wRoEa.
Boston Courier.
OuolUH NUuIItt.
"Alasl how easily things 60 wrong;


"Alasl how easily things go wrong;
A sigh too much or kiss too long,
And a fathers patience is quite worn out
There's a hurried step and wrathful shout
And the dream of youthful pair is DER,
A youth escapes through the open door,
With terror imprinted upon his face,
And goes down the street at flying pace
With hat IN hand and dog in chase
The dog to the flying youth draws nigh;
There : a savage grOwl and a piercing cry
"Alas how easily things go wrong;"
Why did the lover stay so long?
A painting youth at his mothers door
Is vowing he'll go out to court no more;
A dog is returning with visage grim,
Dragging an listers tails with him
Alas how easily things 80 wrong"
When lover foOlishly tarries too long;
And yet how easily things go right"
When he leaves at a decent time of night.
He's wise who this in his memory logs;
Fathers are fathers and dogs are dogs.

DIDN'T WANT THE MONEY.

The Wellington Press being confronted
with that 81, 900, mildly backs from its ban
ter and says it was only joking. We thought
as much. its later excuse that business in
Wichita is badly overdone is news to us also
The business man who told the Press repre-
sentative any such stuff had better move his
traps to Wellington or to some point where
he can size up more satisfactorily. That
kind of business man never will make a go
of it in Wichita. As to what the Press has
further to offer we will say that the EAGLE
is not aware that "Wellington's travelling
men actually go through Wichita and sell
goods all around this city" Wichita's
travelling men visit every point in the south
west regularly and know what's going on,
and we have never heard of their abiding
to the presence of the gentlemen who 60
circling around and through Wichita or any
other place with cheaper or better samples
than they themselves carry. Among these
travelling gentlemen are three connected
with this office, and the competition which
they have encountered was not from Well
ington. Wellington Is very proud, stiff,
solid county town, with the finest court
house in the state. and in population larger
than any town southwest of Topeka, no
doubt, Wichits excepted, but we assure the
Press that Wellington's merchants, however
large their trade, are not affecting the bust
ness of this city in the least, and our little
wager was only made to test the sincerity Of
the Press brag and not that We had any use
for the money.

Bulgarian outt1su; tie recital Of which
made humanity shudds.
Take again an old continental coin and re.
feet upon the easiy settlement Of this fair
land in our grandfathers' days, when civil
zstion grappled with herculeail savagery apd
man fought with nature. When the pierre
ing scream of the Indian and the hosrse veil
OF the white man mingled in death agony.
while along the dim corridors of our forests
the Implying north wind came laden with
the half stifed cry of lonely yet patient
women and the shvering wall of
starving children, and when, alas. the con-
sciousness Of duty done was the sole reward
achieved and the solitary unnamed mound,
chapletted by the winters SHOWS was the
only monument won. Reflect on the war of
the revolution, on Bunker Hill, Valley
Forge and so on to Yorktown. There is an
endless history in this collection and the
proprietor says if he can sell 10000 tickets
here at ten cents each he will allow a repre-
sentative of the city to come in and select
together with himself, one-third of the col
lection which he will donate to the public
library. He says the Whole collection is
worth $1,000.

RARE COLLECTION.

By far the finest collection Of old coins,
among which is representative of the
money Of almost every state of ancient snd
modern times. is on exhibition at L. W..
Ditmsn's new building on Douglas avenue.
The value of this collection, cannot be over
estimated from historical standpoint. 1t
represents more history than oil the books
in the city and all can be examined for ten
cents. The collection consists OF old coins,
old paper money, continental, colonial and
state, Indian implements, curious stones and
fossil remains, Heather gods and variety
of other rare and wonderful specimens. In
the eastern schools at present they have
what is called the STAMP craze" The chill
dren 90 all over the city in which they live
and gather all the old letters from foreign
countries and appropriate the stamps.
They take the stamp on which
they find the name of the country
whose postage it is. They zee the name Of
the ruler of the country. The pupil then
gets his geography and history and learns
all he can about that country, geographical
ly and historically. 1t is claimed that these
stamp hunters leave their associates who
have not adopted the same course, far be-
hind in geography and history. 1t amounts
practically to object lessons. What vast
