WICHITA A WINNER
Wichita Man Gets a Government Contract on
Denver, Col, Job.

Wichita can not only teach lessons to
people who visit her, bnt when it comes to
capturing anything she goes after, there
are none who can surpass her She is just
as invincible away from home as she is on
her native heath.
This was exemplifed a few days since at
Denver. Col. when the bids were opened
for the new United States army post at
that place. Among the competitors was
our fellow citizen, Thomas X. O'Neil, Of
3l4 North Water street, who was the low
est bidder and had the contract awarded
him. Although the government had the
right TO reject any or all BIDS.
The following were the bids opened, as
reported in one of the Denver papers:

LITTLE THIEVES.

Yesterday Officer Dennis arrested two
colored boys, who afterward gave the
names of Ross Thompson and Marshall
Davis. They were caught in the act Of
stealing two white shirts from Chinese
laundry on East Douglas avenue. The
boys, it seems, have for some time been en-
gagged in this petty thieving, and have
been more or less under the surveillance of
the police for some time.

A Million Years.

To the human understanding the vast
stretches of time involved in geological
history are utterly incompreheusible. It
Is not easy, indeed, to form an idea of
what a period even a million years is,
though Croll tells us how a striking i'm
preston of such lapse may be conveyed
TO the mind. Stretch piece of paper
eighty three feet four inches long around
the walls of room somewhat over twenty
feet square. recall the events of life to give
some conception of hundred years,
and then consider that mark one-tenth
OF an inch broad at one end of the paper
represents the century, while the whole
strip gives place for only million years.
This illustration is worth trying. Could

little streamlet was able to ar off annu-
ally but one-tenth of an inch from its
rocky bed, what would be our conception
OF the prodigious length of time tina this
stream must have taken to excavate the
gorge? We should certainly feel startled
on finding that the stream had performed
this enormous amount of work in some.

MISS PRIM IND uER PUG.

Miss Pearl Prim, whom everybody
knows to be the most proper and precise
tailor-made beauty of western Penn
sAylvania, patent rights reserved, had
horrible adventure in church not long
ago.
When she reached the church door a
little late for the morning service, she
made the awful discovery that her pet
pug dog Peter was at her heels.
She was late, as have said, and if
she took Peter home it would be inlpos-
s.ble for her to return to church that
morning. Her Christianity was strong
enough to have made her resign herself
TO such self-sacrifce; but she was wes:-
ing new brown jacket Of extraordinary
and perplexing Partisan beauty, and if
size missed the morning service the best
chance she would have to exhibit it to
all her friends would pass beyond her
reach.
SO she picked up "Peter," ~ho, for a
Pug, is thin, and walked bravely up the
aisle to the proper pew. She was con-
sclous of extra glances from the congre-
cation, but she consoled herself by the
thought that if she outraged propriety
with the pug her manly jacket in the
latest fashion of the French capital
thereby got more thorough recognition
than it would otherwise have obtained.

A Husbands RESPONSIBILITIES.

There is no mother carrying alone the
burden of training the children who will
not heartily endorse the following senti-
ments, as set forth by writer in Good
CLe,r:
There is too much talked aud written
about woman's duty to her home. No
woman can make a perfect home without
the cheerful and earnest cooperation OF
her husband. Where one wife fails in her
part there are ten husbands who are utterly
unmindful of their own domestic respon-
sibilities. ready to surrender their own bur-
dens to the wife, whose physical and moral
strength is ordinarily inadequate to the de-
mands mhdc upon her. How many fathers
lake upon themselves the educational train
ing of their children. and yet how few
mothers are qualified either by mental dis
cipline or habits of thought, for the work?
know all the popular arguments advance
on the other side, but they do not alter Il Q
facts that in nine cases out of ten it is the
husbands intellect which is sharpened and
kept alive by contact with other minds, by
reading and pursuits which require wide
mental outlook. AS for the necessary
time, there are few men who cannot spare
an hour from the days engrossing duties
i'll which to study the bent of their chill
dren's minds and give direction to their

THE MARvE10Us GRAPHoPHONE.

THE M-4RVELOUS Gh.APHOPHONE.
The instruments will be leased at $50
a year each. Leased, mark you. No
person will be allowed to own an instru-
ment outright. There seemed reason
for leasing telephone instrument, for
it was simply part of q connected system
and was useless when disconnected.
But the graphophone instrument is COM
plete in itself, or seems so. Perhaps
the wax cylinders, which are its chief
feature, will have to be supplied period
ically from central Office, and in that
way sort of connected graphophone
system be established. Or there may
be some other way. Anyhow, the in
strument will be leased,
The graphophone is an instrument
smaller than the ordinary Typewriter.
It makes q permanent record OF every
sound transmitted to it, and can repeat
the sound at any subsequent time as
many times as one pleases. Mr.. levy,
the cornet player, for instance, played
Home, Sweet Home" in four octaves
as aforesaid. All Mr.. Lombard has to
do when he wants a tune is to take out
whatever wax cylinder may happen
to be in the cylinder at the moment and
insert in it's place the wax cylinder that
was there when Mr.. Levi was playing.
You just press button and the brass
band begins to play. In this way one
of PATHS 81 900 songs can be repeated
500 times at pleasure. Five hundred is
about the limit. After that the wax be-
gins to chip and the graphophone gets
hoarse. And PATHS songs can thus be
handed to future generations. -Nea0

CHICAGO L4nIES

otlll 1t remains true here. as else
where in the United States, that wo-
men are in advance in the intellectual
revival. One cannot yet predict what
Will be the result of this continental
Juror for literary, scientific, and study
clubs-in some places in the East the
literary wave has already risen to the
height OF the scientific study of whist
out for the time being Chicago women
are in the full swing of literary life.
Mr.. Browning says that more of his
books are sold in Chicago than in any
other American city. Granting some
atfectation, some passing fashion, in the
Browning, Dante, and Shakespeare
clubs, think it is true that the Chi
cago woman, who is imbued with the
energy of the place, is more serious in
her work than are women in many
other places; at least she is more en-
thusiastic. Her spirit is open, more
that of frank admiration than of criti-
cism of both literature and of authors.
This carries her not only further into
the heart Of literature itself, but into a
genuine enjoyment of it-wanting al
most to some circles at the East, who
are too cultivated to admire with
warmth or to surrender themselves to
the delights of learning, but find their
avocation rather in what may be called
literary detraetion, the spirit being that
of dissection Of authors and books,
much as social gossips pick to pieces
the characters of those of their own set.
And one occupation is as good as the
other. Chicago has some reputation
for beauty, for having pretty, dashing,
and attractive women it is as much en-
titled to be considered for its intelli-
gent women who are intellectually agree
able. Comparisons are very unsafe,
but it is my impression that there is
more love for books in Chicago than in
New York society, and less of the crit
ical, nil a1niroJ'i spirit than in Boston.
It might be an Indication of no value
(only of the taste of Individually that
books should be the principal "favors"
at fashionable german, but there is q
bookstore in the city whose evidence
cannot be set aside by reference to any
freak Of fashion.-Charle Dudley Var
