Should Not be Allowed to Die.
Kenneth Sentinel

The suggestion of the Wa-Keeney
MoRLD, that the legislature appropriate
S1o,O0O for the purpose of establishing
two state nurseries, one at Cimmaron
and one at Collyer, and that forest trees
be given to all settlers who will obligate
themselves to plant and cultivate the
same, is good one, and the representa-
tlves and senator's from western Kansas
should see to it that this movement is
not allowed to die still-born.

Tilton, of the Wa-Keeney WORLD, has
gone back on Hanback, The general
understanding is that he would not
support the PRO tembore citizen of o.
borne, two years ago, until he had exact
ed promise of registership or receiv-
ership in the Wa-Keeney land Office, and
if that is as true as it is that Hanback,
has no plumber now with which to hire
his strikers, it is no wonder that Tilton
flew the track.

The Wa-Keeney WORLD, which was
the main paper in the fight for the re-
election of Hanback, two years ago,
seems to be against him to-day. It says
he has very ''ittle respect for his own
word" and that he is not as strong with
the soldier element as he was, because
there is swell based idea that he has
had large proportion of them on the
string for political purposes" What is

Mr.. McRoberts, now editor of the Leeds
eng land Mercury was at one time a reporter
In this city. He was the most argumentative
and, at The same time, the calmest man that
ever struck the town. He would stop work at
a fire to argue. Mr.. McRoberts was on his
way home early one morning, when an Ameri-
can citizen suddenly popped up with pistol
leveled at his head and said
Throw up yer handsn'
"Why?" asked Mr.. McRoberts, undisturbed.
''Throw them up"
"But what for!
''Put up yer hands, insisted the footpad.
shaking the pistol. "Will you do what tell
you?"
THAT depends," said Mr.. McRoberts. "If
ye can show me any reason why should pit
up ma hands, I'll no say but what l weel :;
but yer mere requalst wad be no Justification
fur me to do sac absurd thing. Moo why
should you, complete stranger, ask me at
this DOR o the nornin', on public street, tae
put up my hand?"
Dash y0u!" cried the robber: ''if you don't
quit gabblln' and obey orders, I'll blow the
top OF your head off"
"Whaat! Faith, man, you must be DOT o.

And so Mr.. McRoberts marched his man to

Good fortune frequently slips away
from those who feel SO certain that they
have 1t that they have only to reach out
their hand and grasp it. This was the ex-
perience of Mr.. Richard Wintersmith, of
Washington, better known as ''Dick''
Wintersmth, who has the reputation of
being one of the most successful lobbyists
at the national capital. "Dick" Winter
smith is Kentuckian, a jovial good fell
low, and a man in whom the milk of
human kindness has, apparently, never
cuPdled.
"Dick'' Wintersmith had a son, who
was known as James G., and he hailed
from Texas. Around Washington, by
those who knew him well enough, he was
known as Jim" He was ''cbip off the
old block''-that is, the chip looked very
much like the old block, but there the re-
semblance ceased. The son was pleas
ant gentleman, but he lacked the amiable
traits which make the father popular.
James G. was Doorkeeper of the House
of Representatives OF the Forty-eighth
Congress, and died after serving one year.
His fatAer's friends, and perhaps his
father assisted in the matter, got a bill
passed during the present session author
izlng the payment OF $3,500-one years
salary and $500 for funeral eXpenses-to
his legal representatives. This, of
course, meant that "Dick" Wiptersmith
was to get the pretty little sum of $500.
A few days ago that amiable and plea
SAINT spoken gentleman, with whose Jokes
and laugh every Congressman of the Jolly
sort is more or less familiar, with u smile
on his face and pretty little boutonniere
fastened to the lapel OF his coat, pre-
scented himself at the Treasury and re-
quested the amount due him as the late
doorkeeper's legal representative. Did he
get it? He hasn't got it yet. His smile
was paralyzed aud his bOutonniere wilted
by the commencement that a woman who
claimed to be the widow Of James g., and
who held a marriage certificate to sub
stantiate her claim, was entitled to the
money, provided her marriage certificate
was genuine.
The usually gay and festive Richard
Wintersmith looked a year older when he
returned to his hotel, which ne had left a
few minutes before. He did not feel so
badly, perhaps, about the loss of the money
as he did over the discovery that the most
perfect confidence had not existed be.
tween him and his son. They had lived
together. and their relations were like
those OF loving brothers. The knowledge
that his son had not trusted him fully
stirred Richard Wintersmith's soul to its
profoundest depths.
Fortune is never certain until it is pos
sessed, and there are secrets which death
alone reveals.

From Frank Leslje's Illustrated NetospHDer.
The day will dawn when one of us shall
hearken
In VAN to hear voice that has grown dumb !;
And morns will fade, Moons pale and shadows
darken,
While sad eyes watch for feet that never
come.
One of us two must some time face existence
Alone with memories that but sharpen pain,
And these sweet days shall shine back in the
distance,
Like dreams of summer dawns in nights of
rain.
One of us two, with tortured heart half
broken,
Shall read hong treasured letters thro' salt
tears
Shall kiss with anguished lips each cherished
token
That speaks of these love- crowned, delicious
years.
One Of us two shall find all light. all beauty,
An joy on earth a tale forever done;
Shall know that hencefcrth that life means
only duty
o God! o God have pity on that one!
