you've ceased to love me, John, ] fear
A great change has come over you;
You do not sit beside me, dear,
And hug me as you used to do
You used to praise my eyes, my hair,
And often kissed my lip and brow
When we sat on one rocking chair
Dear John, why don't you do so now?
You used TO call Inc your delight,
Said you were proud my love to win,
And kept me at the gate at night
Till ma would come and call me in.
You called me then your ownest ow,
Your popsy pet, you did, you know;
That happy time is past and gone
All, dearest, what has changsd you so.
John laid his paper on his knee,
And hove a sigh, and said: 81 fear
Whatever changes there may be
You've brought about yourself, my
dear.
This mnch, at least you must confess !;
Wiener my visits would pay.
You did not meet me in the dress.
In which you'd been at work ali day
Your hair was not in paper curls,
Your slippers Hopping on your feet
You were the prettiest of girls,
With everything about you neat.
A snow white collar then you'd wear
And at your throat Il pretty bow,
A flower of some kind in your hair
Now, darling what has changed
you So"

The Missing Letter.

pounded with all the concentrated
power of her two clenched little fits
but the iron-barred door calmly,
stood unmoved. Phebie added a few
savage knocks with extra force, ac-
companied by an extremely wicked
squeal of fury, which proved our
Phebie was not an angelic visitant
but Of purely human and sorely
tried flesh.
She retreated a step at last, and
gazed anxiously up at the windows,
then began on Il tear-mixed solo
wall; "Mr. Alcotl Oh, Mr.. Alcot
Please let me in !"
"Hi, hi What do you want,
Phebie; is any one sick at your
house?"
The window above the door had
been raised and q very .pillow-friz-
zled head craned far over the sill
to view the small parsonage who re-
piled, with reproachful entreaty.
"You sleep mighty hard, and OH
please, Mr.. Alcot, is Willie here p
"Bill? Why, of course not. just
abide there bit. I'll be down in a
whip stitch"
Phebie now attended to the great
blanket shawl which had slipped
from her head and was trailing on
the ground. She mufiied herself
closely in its comforting embrace
for the thermometer was toying with
a very chill-inspiring mercury, and
the dawn was making a last struggle
with obstinate night, which make
the air doubly frosty to the chile
whose tiny nose was uplifted and
eyes squinted to read through the
gray atmosphere the letters on {
sign overhead, which gave informa
ton to inquiring humanity thai
here was the "postoffice," while {
larger sign above this proclaimed o
"dry goods and groceries" also to bt
had within.
After considerable growing anC
clustering light cleaned through
the window grating, and brusqu,
but not unkindly welcome opened
to the waiting child,
"You don't mean to say thai
Bill's been out all night?"
"His bed amt been tumbled. MI
woke up and found the lamp burn
ing at one o'clock so she looked il
his room, but he hadn't got in. Sh
is Almost wild ny this time, and sen
me over to see if maybe you hat
kept him."
"Taint likely I'd keep the boy on
all night without lettin your mothe
know. Here, Hattie, Hattie" h
called, going to a door leading up
stairs from the rear of the store
"What is it, father?' a feminin
voice responded.
"Slip on your clothes and ru
over to Mrs. Testers with Phebit
The poor woman's almost distract
ed"
In marvelously brief time
startled young girl fastened dowi
pale and apprehensive.
"What did you do with Bill, Las
night?' quericd her father, jestin
to disguise his uneasincss.
Why, is not viii at home?"
"Phebie says his bed isn't mus

He amt been home since /

and neck, then hastily added; "T

colored beads upon them. Have the
strings sufficiently long so that those
depending from the upper ring will
overlap those on the lower one. The
colors may be arranged according to
fancy.
Vases of cameo-glass are in most
beautiful forms and designs. One Of
Greek form in ruby glass has design
of cyclamen about the base. One
of tall graceful form, in blue, has
sprays and leaves or fox-glove. Still
another of turquoise blue is quite GOV
cred with foriated design. These

rate. Formerly, only floral designs
We're attempted, now figures with
backgrounds are painted A four
panel screen has the seasons repre-
sented by female figures. The effect
is soft and not unlike tapesty, the en-
tire surface of the mating being Gov
cred with color. Panels of mating

rehearsal was SO we'll attended, and SO thor
oughly enthused all the participants in ar
opera that will lay everything in the shade
heretofore participated in by our best Local
talent, that a notice Of meeting to the cast
may seem like ''Pipers News" but as this is
designed to eclipse al former efforts by
amateurs since Wichita took rank as the
best show town in the state, it is the deter
mination Of those who are pushing things
to slight nothing that will add to the COM

extent and 1t has been impossible to keep up

Already the wrestling match, which take!
place tomorrow evening at the opera house
i attracting a great deal of attention, moi
oaiy m sporting, but IN general circles, and
a large amount of money is being wagert
upon the result, and pools are being sold rap
lily every evening at Schnitzler's billiard
parior on Market street
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. NJ. w. Levy, of
the Wichita National Bank, received draft
match for from 500 to s 900, between the
victor of this match and Charles Moth, the
Kansas City wrestler.
Already 1T least IS 900 has been wagered
and put in bank on the result of Thursday S
match, the betting being slightly in favor Of
Scheller, the victor in the last match between
the two men.
Both Scheller and Shields since the last
match have been in constant training and
are in as perfect physical condition as a
human being can be, and there is no doubt
but that the contest will not only be one OF
the most desperate and holly contested, but
one of the closest ever wrestled in this couI-
try. Both men are determined to win, both
are evenly matched, and each determined to
win at ell hazards.
The match viii be five style one and will
call forth every effort Of the contestants, and
will not leave any chance or ground for
either of the men to put forth an excuse.
The match will be to the best man, and it will
be intensely interesting to witness this strug
gle of the giants for the championship of the
west. There will also be several spsrring
matches, and two other wrestling matches
between local celebrities, which, as all the
the contestants are picked men will add
much to the interest of the entertainment.
The prizes in the local contests will be 500
and an elegant silver cup to the winners.
Already large number OF tickets have
been sold and there is no doubt but that the
opera house will be more crowded than even
at the last contest.
