strangers; from all except one reports
have been received, though from
many not of recent date. Of all this
number, gathered as they were from
the poorest of the street population o:
this great city, only two are known
to have bsen thieves. Two have run
away and two or three are spoken of
as decidedly bad. Nine have wonder
ed off from the neighborhoOd where
they were first placed and have been
lost sight of, but in doing so they ex-
ercised only the right that belongs to
every American boy, and there is no ev-
idence that they have not done well in
the new homes they have found.
Nothing but a miracle could have
made them do well here. Six have
returned to New York; one was sick
and was sent back for treatment;
three brothers were sent for by a mar
ried sister who had become able to
maintain them and start them in bus
iness here and two came back, prob
ably because New York-street life had
still a fascination to their childish
minds. Two have died-a promising
girl and industrious young man.

very well. The eighteen who were
with their parents it is safe to assume
have done fairly well.
This is a good record. Let any
person familiar with the darker side
of New York life estimate if he can
the proportion of those boys and girls
who would have escaped from crimi-
nal or vicious lives if they had re-
manned here. One thousand dollars
could hardly have been expended to
greater advantage"

The Jefferson City Tribune under
the caption of some things it would
like to know, asks:
"If Sedalia W Mt get beautifully

remove the capitol.
Well, Sedalia is not SO sure just at
present. whether she wants the CAPT.
tol. or not. She has not noticed that
the capitol has made Jefferson City
a lie, wide awake town, or given her
pc pie the necessary energy to wal
making them TO take rank among the
progressive workers of the age. On
the contrary, Jefferson city has been
a corpse for many day, and her ad-
vantages, if she has auy to recommend

The following interesting account OF
the good 81, 900 did when it was well
applied, is found in the New York
Tribune
Five years ago last Christmas
season a gentleman living in New
England, upon balancing his accounts
for the year, found that he had BEEN
unusually prosperous in his business
enterprises and, although he was not
yet rich, he determined to devote
81 900 of his profits to charity as a
sort of thank offering. His desire was
SO to employ this money that the bene-
fit to be derived from 1t would not
perish with its first use, but would
continue through many years; and he
decided to send poor children from
New York 10 country homes in the
West.
Accordingly, through the excellent
agency of the Caildren's Aid society,
which had been engaged in this work
many years, seventy-six boys and
girls were gathered from the. streets
and from homes IF dire poverty and
sent to Iowa, Kansas and other points
where comfortable homes awaited
them, and where industry and honesty
were sure to meet such rewards as
could not have been possible un der
the terrible conditions of life from
which they had been rescued.
Five years have passed since the
children reached their western homes.
The older ones have grown to be men
aud women; tbs younger have devel-
oped sufficiently for a fair judgment
of their future to be formed. 1t is
interesting to view the results as they
appear to-day Eighteen of the chill
dren were members of four families
who went to places where employment
and comparative abundance were as
sured them. The imagination can
hardly picture the hopelessness of the
life they left behind. One boy and
one girl wrote to their widowed moth
ers and reported their safe arrival. A
boy want to live with an uncle but
has sent no word.
Fifty-fve found their homes among

''The Kansas City Star speaking OF
the intolerance and unfairness of
party journalism, says:
Party organs may be able to look
at men and affairs with comparative
impartiality during the interval be-
tween elections, but when campaign
time comes around they resume all
the blind allegiance to party and all
the unfairness to opponents which are
characteristic of theie mission"
The above is true, and very often,
in the "blind allegiance" mentioned,
there is no thought of the real worth
of the men these pronounced party or
gan's champion, and hence, men who
have no business in positions of trust,
are placed there, and the party organ
thinks that its legitimate mission is
fulfilled,

The approaching centennial ami.

The terrible death of Miss Cora
Shepherd, Friday, once more brings
up the scare against the use of the
gasoline stove, because of the danger
Ously infammable character ofthe fuel.
There can be no question concerning
the danger of being careless in the
use of gasoline and there is no
well authenticated case where an ac-
cident occurred, where it could not
be traced to carelessness but the gas
oline stove, like the coal oil lamp and
many other modern improvements to
comfort, is largely in use, and has
come to stay, and there is no necessi.
" for undue alarm concerning its use.
So long as there are careless people
in the world, accidental deaths are
bound to occur, but when it is con-
sidered that tens of thousands of gas
oline stoves are in use and have been
in use for the past four years, the per.
centage of deaths are few and far be.
tween. When the fact becomes duly
impressed on the mind-the female
mind especially-that to fill lamp
with kerosene, or stove with gaso-
line while there is d jet of FIRE within
twenty yards, is sure to result in dis
aster, then, and not until then, can
safety be assured. The gasoline stove
is an excellent thing when properly
cared for, but it is not to be handled
or even defed, and those
who use them, will do we'll to remem
Der the fact.

1t would appear to the general pub

Like the failure of the Delaware
peach crop, regularly every year, an
en:erprising young woman out in Da.
kota turns up who runs a farm, mauls

She might climb tree, or spit on her
hands and turn hand spring, but as
for raising 81 bushels Of wheat to the
acre, alone and unaided, there is no
truth in the assertion. Many and
many man to-day is living a de-
crepit old bachelor because he cannot
