Rev. E. Richards, Of Buffalo Park,
delivered q temperance lecture at the
Opera House Friday night of last week.
He was invited here by the w. G. T. o.
OF this city, and very good audience
greeted him. After dwelling for some
time upon the evils of the rum traffic, he
endeavored to show that the Prohibition
party was the only party that could be
relied upon to undertake the total prohi-
bition of the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor in this country. He
neglected to make mention of the good
work which the Republican party had
done for prohibition in the state of Kan
sas. His lecture was attentively listened
to, and although his third party ideas
were endorsed by but few of the male
portion of his audience, he received
hearty applause several times lduring his
discourse. A male quartette sang tenn
perance songs before and after the lecture.

The Bitterness Disappeared.

A denizen of Cass avenue and q
resident of Third avenue have long
been enemies. They fell out about q
piece of land, and as time went on
each grew more bitter. The other
day the Third avenue man went TO 9
mutual friend and said:
"Look here, but it is very foolish
i'm H and me to be enemies"
$50 it is"
"He is fine man and "a good citi
zen and | want to bridge the chasm

But I've heard he har lily knows a

Exactly; and that's where you'll
get him. 1t will be grand appeal
to his vanity"
At noon the horse was led over.
At o'clock he was returned by a
strange man, who explained;
"The feller sent him back by me,
because he and the other feller have
been shaking hands and shedding
tears for the last half hour. Never
saw two brothers more loving" DE

interviewing a Farmer.

Wishing to keep posted as to the
condition Of the crops, and to ascer.
tain the exact amount of damage
done by the recent food Oh the Ohio,
a reporter started out upon an inter-
viewing expedition. He was fortu-
nate enough to encounter farmer at
the edge of town bringing a load Of
hay into the city. Burning with en-
tbusiasm, the reporter hailed him.
He halted, and the following collo-
guy took place;
"How are you, friend p

What's that ?"
-"Dried grass"
"What do you think of the rain ?"
Thought it was damp"
Didn't raise anything then, eh ?"
Nothing but an umbrella"
"What did your neighbors get"
"Chills and fever"
"What are you doingl"
Sitting up here in the sun, and
maybe missing a chance to sell this
hay. Come up here if you want to
talk"
The reporter scrambled up to the
side of his new acquaintance, and as
they jolted on he again produced his
notebook and continued:
"What did the farmers do last
spring ?"
"Ran everything into the ground" :"
did your wheat do anything ?"
YES"
"What Z"
"Sprouted."
"Can you raise any tobacco nowi"
"Yes. Do you want chew?"
"How are potatoes ?"
Under the weather, somewhat, but
able to be out. 80,
Becoming just the least bit discour-
aged, the reporter asked tImidly:
"Will you bring any beets to the
city this yeari"
'"Got good load now," was the re-
ioinder. as he checked his horses and
said "Guess you'd better plant what
/ told you, and see what it will yield.
Here's where you get off,"
Remembering that it was just about
time to report at the Office, the baffled
searcher after news climbed down the
side OF the wagon, and thinking that
soft answer turneth away wrath, he
calmly said:
That's nice hay, my friend where
did it come FROM"
Timothy seed," was the reply.
The interrogation got faint, but he
summoned up courage enough to ask:
"What do you think you will get
for it ?"
Cash, of course. Get up, Whitley,
this fellow will talk us blind in a min
ute. He asks more questions than a
catechism," and before the discourag-
ed representative of the press could
recover from his surprise, the hay
wagon had turned an adjacent corner.
