A Model Landlord.

OF the late VIM. f. Cobb of the Rural House
Union, it is said lie was very firm and decided in
maintaining any principle which he believed to be
right, yet in such way to make friends even OF
those who decidedly differed with him. And so
believing that the liquor traffic was an unmitigated
evil and the drinking of ntoNcants an unnecessary
and wicked CUSTOM he resolved from the first that
no liquors should be sold, and none drank in his
house II he could help it. This resolve he main
tained to the last. Very recently he assured the
writer that not single glass of liquor has been
sold in his house to his knowledge. He said that
men had coaNed him, tried to hire him, and even
threatened him. but he had kept right on in his
chosen course.

of daily use as a baking powder, but such is the
fact with reference to Prof IIor>ford'S Bread
Preparation. InvalidS, as well rs people in
good health scholars, teachers, cergymen.
lawyers and physicians who have made free
use of the article, all declare that they have
found it of especial benefit as Il brain tonic and
highly beneficial in imparting energy to all the
tissues of the body. The highest medical as
well as chemical authorities confirm this testi-
mony, and consider this Preparation by far the
most valuable among the great number of
baking or yeast powders. 1t is also the most
nutritious baking powder made, because it
contains the phoSphates, which are the life
giving and strengthening principles required
by the system. Baron Liebig the most noted
chemist of the world, was greatly pleased with
Prof. Horsford's invention, and in letter to
him said: 1T is certain that the nutritive value
of the flour will be increased ten per cent bv
the addition of IIorsford's Bread Preparation,
and the result is precisely the same as if the
fertility Of our wheat fields had been increased
by that amount 1t can be said of no other
baking powder in the world that it possesses
invigorating qualities. or that it adds anything
of nutritvc value to the flour.

sale by all dealers, and every package is war

We received last week from a Maine man
living III southern State, Il private letter
from which we quote as follows: The en-
closed paper containing an article reile ting
upon the good State Of Maine. was handed ne
by former citizen Of Waldo county. with the
request to forward it TO YOU and ascertain if it
was true. 1t made few of the Maine bows
very indignant to have such an item go among
people only too ready to give it credencc. and
they hope that you will enquire into the truth
of the matter. The following is the item re-
ferrcd to:

They Believe In Kansas.

The earley pioneers of Kansas
those who came before the SOS be-
lieve in their state as they do in their
own families. They have helped to
raise the state, and have believed in
her future through good and through
evil report. The old settlers, looking
back over twenty-five or thirty years
struggles in Kansas, love the state for
the triumphs and victories she has Sc
cured over her trials and hardships.
The legends born upon the state seal,
Through Diff culties to the Stars"
was aptly chosen for Kansas. The
state pride of the Kansan is not found
ed upon her material prosperity, but
upon broader idea. Nowhere in all
the settlement of the great west have
people made greater sacrifices for
the education Of their children. First
class school houses cOnld be seen far
out over the prairie long before two
story buildings made their appearance.
The best buildings in every town the
first ten or twenty years of its eXis-
tence has been the school house and
the church, and the newspaper follow
ed buckley with generous support.
The pioneers of Kansas never forgot
that it was their first duty to educate
their children. They were poor and
mortgaged, and the crops sometimes
failed, and the prices ruled low, but
the school house was built and the
school teacher was employed all the
same. 1t required an intelligent and
brave people to do this.-Leavenworth
