have been refusing dissolution To such parents
as prefer public TO parochial schools for their
children. Rev Father Phelan, prominent
divine and editor of The Western Waterman,
the leading Catholic paper of the west,
warmly espouSes the liberal side OF the ques-
ton and warns priests that it is beyond their
mower to refuse dissolution to either parents
or children Several parish priests take issue
with father Phelan and denounce the public
school system and sustain the doctrine that
ahsolution should be refused to parents, as
well as the children themselves who attend
public schools

Down along the creek where the old mill used TO

There's nothing any finer in any cline or land
Beech trees with their long arms hanging to the

And big white sycamores and oaks and other trees

Snipes and kill deers and wadingcrane or two,
Skulking near the creek with nothing else to do;
Morning, noon or night, in spring tirae.
There's nothing any finer in any land or cline
Little white and yellow moths darling every way
And big brown butterflies drinking honey all the DAY.
And getting just so full of nectar and Of bliss
They palptate in rhythmic waves with every kiss;

The shadows and the roots, and to photograph shs

Little leaves all dancing just for pure delight
There's not land or cline with any finer sight.
Yellow sand, and yellow light and yellow hazes teo.
With sky and hills, and woods and crystal water
gimpsing through;
Songs among the thickets, and music in the sky,
driving rain of melody in the wind that futters by
Trickling from the happy leaves and drenching mo-
And ebbing through my soul in very ecstacy,
Down along the creek, where the old mill used to

There's not fairer spot in any CLINE or land.

Don't Like Our Preacher.


We have become accustomed to the spectacle
of daily newspapers trying to extend their circu-
lation--sworn to-among those who cannot read
by the presentation of pictures of the primer
and first reader description. We have now to
chronicle the prostitution Of the pulpit by kin
dred methods in order to attract the
minds of those who cannot appreciate
a simple exposition of the gospel OF
all ribald exhibitions that of Brooklyns
notorious contortonist yesterday morning
easily bears away the palm. Like Ingersol1,
Talmage sees the effect of treating scriptural
topics in light and fippant manner, and, like
Ingersoll, he so treats them sor pay. The
greater the reverence attached to the ideas or
words employed in worship the greater will be
the shock to the mind of having them fryolously
treated. 1t is the same thing that makes Gill
bert's burlesque of human majesty success.
The mind is tickled by such shock. The
difference between Ingerson and Tamage
is that one is honestly outspoken in
his opposition to the scheme of Christianity, the
other makes that scheme the mask for his per-
formances. No unprecedented person could lay

ance, and you may some day be led to use the
words of Solomon, whose experience in home
life was as melancholy as it was muititudinous
One day his palace, with its great wide rooms
and great wide doors, and great wide hall, was
too small for hin, and the loud tongue of a wom-
an belaborng him about some of his neglects
and he retreated to the house-top to get relief
from the lingual bombardment And while
there he saw poor man on the corner of the
roof with mattress for his only furniture and
the open sky his only covering. And Solomon
envies him, and cries out: 1T is better to dwell
in the corner of the housetop than with brawl
ing woman in wide house"
And one day, during the rainy season. the water
leaked through the roof of the palace and began
to drop in pail or pan set there to catch it.
And at one side of him all day long the water
went drop, drop. drop, while on the other side a
female companion, quarreling about this and
quarreling about that, the acrimonious aud pet
ulant words falling on his ear in ceaseless pet-
ing, drop. drop, drop and he seized his pen and
wrote: "A continual droppngin very rainy
day and a contentious woman are alike"
If Solomon had been as prayerfu at the be-
ginning of his life as he was at the close how
much domestic infelieity he would have avoided
But prayer about this will amount to nothing
unless you pray soon enough Wait until you
are fascinated, and the equilibrium of your soul
is disturbed by magnetic and exquisite pres
ence. and then you will answer your own pray
ers, and you will mistake your own infatuation
for the voice of God.
If you have this prayerful spirit you will
surely avoid all female scoffers at the Chris
tian religion, and there are quite number of
them in all communities. It must be told that

The weather prophets have made signal failure
on weather predictions for western Kansas. The
abundant rains Of the past few weeks disproved
the theories advanced by them. 1t was stated
that rain would be in patches and streaks, which
would be exceptions to the predicted drOuth.
The Topeka Capital su;rs up Blske's failures as
follows:
In view of the heavy rains which have visited
nearly every part of Kansas the past two weeks.
we conclude that Kansas is very streaked. The
saving canse of Prof. Blakos prophecy is his wet
weather stresbs. The rainis pouring down as we
write, and all over Shawnee county the ground is
too wet to plow to-day. The very accurate stats
tics gathered by Secretary SIMS OF the state board
of agriculture, indicates that there will be three
fourths of crop Of corn and greatly prefer his
statistics to Trof Blake's guess work.
The August drouth must get to work pretty soon
Or our weather prophet will have to increase his
wet weather streaks, or construct new theory
for the good crop of corn these late rains are ma
king This sort Of gcneralizing about the weather
and talking about Kansas farmers having to pay
81 per bushel this winter for corn, when there is
en- assured new crop of least 20 600 of bush
els in the state besides half as much old corn does
no good. On the other hard the influence Of such
alarming yet indefinite prophecies simply keeps
up Il feverish anxiety and oistrust without any
CONSEQUENT beCeft.
