When the Pittsburg father of bright boy
wishes to make of the lad man skilled in
mechanical matters, mechanical engineer
competent to he his fathers right hand man
in the big workshop or factory or mill, the
boy must be sent 500 miles from home to re-
ceive the education desired. This busy
industrial city is fun of men with muscles
and eyes trained to mechanical work But
their knowledge is superficial and their
brains have not been developed as have their
muscles and their eyes. They can carry out
but not evolve mechanical ideas That
power must be conferred by institutions way
off at Troy, at Boston, or at Now York.
There is not even good industrial school in
Pittsburg, place where the sons of mill
owners can acquire practical knowledge of
the processes which in after lifo he will be
called upon to superintend, or be set down as
knowing less than the cheapest mechanic in
his employ. There are bright boys whose
fathers do not care, for many reasons, to
send them to a distant institution. The al
Tentative is to let him go right out among
the worItmen, and thor, ant his feet firmly
upon tho lower rounds of tho ladder leading
to mechanical expertneSs.
One such boy, few months ago deter.
mined to obtain practical mechanical edu-
cation, and was encouraged by his father in so
doing, and his first weeks experience was
among colored workers in steel mill. He is
now foreman of one department. Most boys
would find this u debasiEVy companionship,
and most fathers would find it impossible to
permit son to acquire information in such
a way. Meanwhile, home institutions teach
boys everything except practical knowledge
of their fathers business. They can, leaving
colleges, boast of thorough knowl-

Patient, uuwearied, bearing IN her arms
The freLful, sickly child with all its harms,
Deformed and imbeclc her love and woe.

Some sweet, old minor melody, that charms
The ear that listens, snd the sufferer calms.
And her own sorrow soothes with silver flow.
O holy tenderness of motherhood!

The inaugural address of the Great Rock
Island Route, the Chicago Kansas & Ne
braska railway, is to announce that on
November 18th solid vestibule trains will
be run between Chicago and Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs and Pueblo without change,
making close connection at the above
points with all trains for Salt Lake, Los
Angelo, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon,
and all points west, and at Kansas City
and st. Joseph eastward for Chicago, ST.
Louis and all points east, north and south.
These royal trains, consisting of Pullman
eeping cars, restful reclining chair cars
and magniicently furnished Gay coaches,
were built expressly for this service by the
Pullman company and are without ques-
tiOn the baudSomeSt ever turned out by
that famous establishment. The reclining
chair cars spoken of are free to all holders
of first class tickets, and a courteous
attendant will be found with every car TO
care for the wants of our patrons. Ask
your nearest ticket agent for ticket via

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tation of passengers or property than 1t
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another Why then patron
iZe the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride a less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patroniZed The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it a trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to st. Louis (by rs niles as
we'll as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points. Before
purchasing your tickets call at the city

LOVE IN CHURCH.

The souls Of Gil were sad in solemn prayer,
Owning the mercy of their Lord divine;
While in his holy presence so benign,
The tribute that was due they offered there
Ny heart till then was free from every care
Till then my fate had traced an equal line,
When loi some eyes, too high and pure for mine,
Assaulted all my reason, unaware
The novel vision struck me wholly blind;
From strangeness sprang the magic charm dis
played
BY that soft presence, al angelicaL
And can l no alienation find?
Oh! why in births hath Human Nature made
Difference so great, and we her children all!

WICHITA AND THE GREAT VALLEY

Lewis Lake returned from Barton

under way. They We're narrowing and
getting the ground ready for seeding
before he left there, as early as January
%. He reports it a nice country to look
at, but thinks if a man has a farm in Hi
nois he had better keep it, for he has al
most a certainty Of good crops every year
At Wichita they have the smallpox and
the boom has started the other way We
always thought a Kansas boom had an airy
sound and a kind of balloon weight: but
an Illinois boom works more slowly and is

this he was sadly disappointed, and re-
turned to suckerdom with bad case of
belly-ache, to find relief in the bottom
less mud and snow fields of that worn
out country. When the gentleman stat
