THE DISTANT HARROR.

sgThe far off close Of life. "-Hawthorne.
Unto the eyes Of youth the final day
OF life upon this earthly planet seems
So far ahead so very far away,
'Tis seldom thought of amid pleasant dreams.
And when old age approaches. year by year.
When youths sweet, happy, golden hours have
fed,
We do not feel that it must needs be near;
The close of life still seemeth far ahead.
tbs natural with the voyage just begun,
That far away the port should seem to be;
But strange 1t is. the harbor almost won,
That naught beside the same wide stretch of sea
Should greet the mariners sight; till all Is DER
He does not know that he is near the shore.

In my life have known many women
well. Among them is fair majority Of
what the truly appreciative would call
happy. for which fact thank God, as it
has helped me to take, on the whole,
hopeful view of life as well as of human
nature. Now, are these women, blessed
as many of them are with devoted hus-
bands, cheerful homes. cultivated So
ciety, and leisure for the exercise of any
special talent they may possess, beauti-
full womeni With one or two exceptions,
no. Indeed, more than a few of them
are positively plain, if feature only
is considered, while from the rest can
single out but two or three whose faces
and figures conform to any Of the recog-
nized standards of physical perfection.
But they are loved, they are honored,
they are deferred to. While not elicit
ing the admiration Of every passer by,
they have acquired through the force,
sweetness or originality Of their charac-
ter the appreciation of these whose APP
prec-ation confers honor and happiness,
and, consequently, their days pass in aE
atmosphere Of peace and good will which
is as far above the delirious admiration
accorded to the simply beautiful as the
placid shining of the sunbeam is to the
phenomenal blaze of an evanescent fame

ON HIS OARS.

The open hearted and all-round rustler
Thomas l.. Noble, has returned from a
lecture tour of some weeks in the cities and
towns of the southwest. The lecture
business is no new thing with tom as
he is Familiarity known to his many friends
from the Alleghanies to the Rockies.
Years ago he spent months and months in
and around Wheeling, West Virginia, his
former home, and took in the towns of the
Ohio valley from Pittsburg to Cairo, His
voice has been heard in nearly every city,
town and hamlet in the states of Ohio and
Iowa, telling the boys not to tarry with
the wine; and indeed it is related of him
that he had the audacity to halt in Mis-
souri, towns and say his little piece on the
same subject. The eastern half of Kansas is
quite familiar with him as a lecturer
and he says he is wound up for the lecture
stand for some months. He will leave for
the western part of the state in short
time and will describe another curve,
coming back to Wichita for recuperation
and further maturing of plans.
1t is related of him as lecturer that he
never attempts toifnd the equastion ofany
curve, give the character of the civifiza-
ton of the inhabitants of Jupiter, prove or
disprove the theory of evolution, or any
thing of that sort, but deals with things
seen and sometimes to be seen, talking in
such a way that he fails to see empty seats
smiling at him, but is honored where
known with good audience.

THEIR SCHEME.
A BUSINESS Man.

Yesterday there came to light a very
slick trick which has, il now appears, been
worked upon the erocers for some time
Two girls, neither apparently over sixteen
years of age, entered an East Douglas av-
enue grocery and commenced giving quite
an extensive order for goods TO be delivered
10 Mrs. Wyman, No. AS South Market
street After they had given the order and
also instructions for its delivery, they
kindly offered to take part of the goods
home themselves. The grocer commenced
to suspect something was wrong. refused
to allow them TO take the goods without
paying for them; and as Mama had not
given Us any money" they did
not take the goods. The grocer
drove to the number designated
and found only a burnt shanty unoccupied.
Upon making an inquiry of lady living
near by he was informed that almost daily
some grocer's delivery wagon drove up TO
her residence and asks about the family
living at No. As. Il thus seems that for
some time the two girls have been impos-
ing upon the merchants of the city. and
have no doubt succeeded in securing quite
a quanty OF goods by their plan OF work

SPRINKLERS ON HAND.

The wind seemed to have picnic with
the dust yesterday until about noon when
Daisy appeared with sprinklers. He says
that he will open the seasons business
with a benefit lasting until the first. He
reports a new list of subscribers as COM
plete as last year, few, however, never
paying for it, who have been sprinkled all
the same He states that this year he in
tends to leave dusty streaks in front of
business houses thinking that sprinkling
is species of monetary cannibalism that
should not be encouraged.
The sprinkling in the afternoon afforded
temporary relief, but the dust was just a
little too thick to be handled very easily
and the side streets were quite a large
bank account for the wind to draw on.

THE AMERICAN SUNDAY.

To the Editor of the Eagle
The appeal coming from the ministerial
association of this city, and asking for the
enforcement of the law in reference to
Sabbath breakers, and pleading with
business men for better observance of
Sunday, is timely and cannot fail but
meet with the unqualified approval of our
best citizens.
The great majority OF our citizens sin
cerely believe in our American Sunday,
and therefore greet with pleasure the
effort that is being put forth for the pur-
pose of securing better observance of the
Sabbath. More than this: The majority
of our business men are ready to endorse
the appeal above referred to, and are
willing TO cooperate with the association
in securing for Wichita quiet and restful
Sabbath. They feel that with day of
peaceful rest more work can be done in SIX
days than otherwise in seven. The en-
ployer and the employed both alike need
rest. There is no argument against the
proper observance of Sunday, but many
for il. Let Wichita stand first in this as
in many other regards.

OFF FOR CALIFORNIA:

Councilman johnson is making arrange
ments to leave for California tomorrow.
If he does not get off tomorrow he affirms
that he will not leave until Monday, as he
is very much opposed to throwing himself
liable for damages dished out according to
the Friday superstition code. He said
yesterday that he had been trying to get
off for some time but all business imagin-
able looks up when wishing to get away.
He will be accompanied by Mrs. johnson
and family. They will go direct to Santa
Rosa and meet eX-Councilman Capt. John
B. Carey and family. The captain has
been expecting to see Mr.. Johnson reach
his town for some weeks, and even before
Mr.. Derby left him had an eye on incom-
ing trains for his Third ward friend. They
will spend some months at the beautiful
town of Santa Rosa and then make a trip

IN MEMORIAM.
"Years die and all die
God bless the sleeper."

uOO UItSS tuc SIcCpCl.
One year ago today Captain W. s.
White, then in the full vigor Of his mental
and physical manhood, being in sympathy
for one who was to bury, the next day,
the form of her who had been everything
to him that mother could be wrote: s'We
deeply sympathize with our friends, for we
ourself stand before an open grave" He
alluded to the grave of his mother, who
had been an invalid for years. The open
grave proved his own. Others must now
stand by the open grave of her to whom he
alluded, and close beside his own. That
mother, Mrs. Caroline White is no more
on this earth, and the spirit which he so
loved and reverenced has flown to join his
own for aye in that realm of which the
two, in all the happy months and years of
their earthly home life, SO contentedly and
lovingly communed. Together, now, are
our old friend and his dear old mother,
safe in home of mansions and of rest be-
yond all contentious, peaceful and COM
plete for weary brain and heart; and
nevermore from that haven of full and I'M
ending life shall they be parted or stray
their feet There, where all prayers and all
tests of faith are at an end, with the
change called death, which but releases
the maturing soul from wearing body,
safely passed, and why may not, why are
not. the essential beings of that great
strong man and of that grand woman who
was his mother, ineffably more happy than
the SupremeSt moments of this clay
logged existence could ever have offered
them.
The editor of the EAGLE has known Mrs.
White since 1854. Left a widow in early
life she was always a strong, self-reliant
woman with spirit equal to any fortune.
Her son, her favorite son, and of whom we
write above. had built her delightful
home on Orchard Beach, which was being
finished when he was called hence. He
thought, and she hoped. that many happy
hours OF unalloyed content springing from
their communion there, with the added
presence of her who was made his wife in
the last moments of his life, would sanctify
the place From that home the spirit OF
the mother took its fight yesterday, leav-
ing within its precincts one who loved
| them both.
Mrs. Caroline White was born near
| Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1907, and
| was in her eignty-ti first year. She leaves
two sons, neither OF whom live in this
! city, but both of whom will probably ar
rive in time for the funeral. And now:
Though varying wishes, hopes and fears
Feverd the progress of these years,
| Yet now days, weeks and months but seem
| The recollection of a dream;
50 still we glide down to the sea
Or fathomlesS eternity
