A JAYhAWKER'S r. AiTORS.

What shall say. then, of Hancock, the heavy
weight fighter,
Winfield Scott Hancock, man idolized by the
army,
He who often had periled his life for his
people,
Shedding his blood for his flag and the Union
so freely,
Giving himself, as some thought, to his country
so freely:
What was he doing when fighting, or seeming
ly fighting,
Grossly deceiving the rank and the file of the
army,
Falsely pretending to offer his life for the
Unions
What he doing at Gettysburg, where he
fell wounded,
Mangled and torn by the shot of the foes he
was fighting
Struck from his horse at the height of so splen-
did triumph?
What was he doing, ask you, and what was
he there for?
Fighting for slavery, fighting for Jefferson
Davis,
Killing off rebels to keep the rebeMon alive,
Proving, by peril and wounds and his skill as a
soldier,
Only his faith in rebellion and love of the reb-
els.
Proof? Do you want it! Why, proof is both
plain and abundant,
Proot that Is clear to the sight or the patriot
Ingalls,.
Did not the Democrats give him their best
nomination?
Did not the Solid South vote for i'm freely and
gladly?
That is enough, sir. Yes, while the immaculate
ingalls,
Punished jayhawkers in Kansas for robbng of
hen-roostS,
Hancock, the traitor, at Gettysburg wounded,
near dying,
Simply was fighting for Jefferson Davis, his
partner.
What of the other? Words fa:l me to speak of
Mcclellan,
George B. Mcclellan, JEFF Davis intimate ally.
He, when the great Union army, nearly
death stricken,
Saddened, disheartened, demoralized, huddled
loosely,
Was but mob that was brave but in lack of
cohesion
Pulled it together. and made it an army with
banners,
Confident, solid, the army that fought the whole
through
Winning at last by the disciplined strength
that he gave it.
What did he do il for? Why did he organize
victory?
Why did he take the great army to yorktown
and r chmond:
Simply that he, the Confederates' intimate
ally,
There might deliver that army to Jefferson
DaV
Such was Mcclellan, the ally of rebels, the
traitor,
He whom some silly ones, out of the army and
in it.
Still would parade before men of the North as
i hero.
Proof: Do you need it? The man was Demo-
crlt That is
Plenty of proof for q patriot hailng from
Kansas,
One whom his party should greet with its best
nomination.
Was not McClellen candidate, strai ght Demo-
cratic
Yes, for the office filed nobly by Abraham
Lincoln?
That is sufficient; of course he was naught but
traitor.

A Bad Wreck,

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The fast night ex
press on the Michigan Central railroad,
which leaves this city at p m, met with
a serious accident last night at a crossing
a little south of Burnsides. A Toledo,
Wabash & Western freight train ran into
the rsar sleeper on the passenger
while under full Roadway. Many
passengers were injured. Several were
seriously hurt, but at this hour it is not
known that any were killed. Only few
of the names of those injured are known.
The sleeper was DEF allied and almost en-
tirelyI demolished. Several cars of
the freight tain were telescoped. The
engineer and fireman on the freight train
leaped just in time to save their lives.

no army reserve worth naming. The

year was about 200. 900, and by 1870
it had decreased to 1870, 900. to

ready at call to be placed in depots

men are simply men who have. for a

services in the regular forces in case
of war and to receive a little extra

'.Are those things made of ivory or
ebony?" asked a reporter, while look
ing at what appeared to be highly
polished miniatures of a bulls head
arranged on the counter of Broad
way fruit store.
Neither. If you handle them you
will see they are too light to be formed
of either material"
what are they, thenp''
''They are nuts. They can be kept
twenty years if desired. They come
from Japan, India and other parts of
Asia. They are called the trapa, and
in shape are not unlike the iron in
struments used by the ancients to i'm
pede the movements of cavalry. The
plant grows in the water. After
Towering the lobes of the calyx harden
and from two to four horns appear on
the top of the fruit, giving it the APP
pearance of bulls head or that of
the Rocky Mountain goat The plant
is floating one, with long iointed
root stalks. Tufts of hair-like roots
strike out from the joints. and are
surmounted by radiating clus ters of
triangular-toothed leaves, with swol-
len foat-like stalks to buoy them
up
Are the nuts edible?"
Eyes; the nut is full of starch. and
in Asia is eaten for food. In many
places it is often ground into flour and
made into bread. A population of
30 900 persons in one part of India is
maintained five months of the year
mainly by the food procured from this
nut One of the India Rajahs re-
ceived revenue of $50. 900 a year
from the sale of this nut. In Japan
it is also eaten for food and as it

are scarce, it has been classed as
sacred. rs mamma was when found by

READY-MADE CLOTHING.
A Question Which Is at Present Agitat-
ing the Feminine World.


ing the Feminine World.
AS rule, woman likes to exercise
her own taste in the matter of dress,
and many a woman shows her char
acter very plainly as she selects and
makes the garments she wears. The
fashioning of these garments help to
mold and strengthen that character.
Now. If every dress she puts on comes
from some one else, is the taste and
thought of some one else in general
combination, what good does she get
from it except the mere good of hay
ing new dress to wearp
Another thing is lamentable in de-
gree: the cheapness of all ready made
clothing is allowing our girls to grow
up without the knowledge of the
needle which they need. ! don't
think any girl needs the
piles of patchwork squares we
many of us were made to sew. or the
long seams of lover and over on
sheets, or even the many garments
made by hand, that were common
parts of every girls training in our
mothers day, but every girl does need
some skill with the needle. Every
girl needs to sew on some things, and
to know how to sew on many more
Each girl needs to know how to plan
and carry out thought and skill In her
dress which will give her some in
dividuality. We might as we'll all be
tied up in nuns gown and vail as to
expect we can all be satisfied with
the dresses sent out by the shops. If
women want to dress alike, as do the
men, let them do SO; but if they don't
wish for that, let them at least have
the chance to show some Individuality
in their dress. Mrs. KeCisie. IN Kansas

too. Regular dog-day weather." old
Mr.. Spriggins said, ''if it is the month
of June"
1t was too rainy for the boys to play
outdoors at noon-time, so you may
know it rained hard. The smaller
children played ''Tea-kettle's boiling
over!" in the entry; but that was
too small game for our three rogues-
"How hot it is!'' said Tommy Trow,
hopping up his face with very dirty
handkerchief.
Have to make up fire to cool off
BY" said Billy Coe, who was always
saying queer things.
Lets do it" cried Titus Rowe, the
harum-scarum boy of the school. Lets
make fire and roast 'em out this after
noon"
So the three young scamps went to
work to get together wood and kind
lings, and made up fire in the big,
rusty stove. BY the time one o'clock
and Miss True came the school-room
was '.just as hot as a pepper-pot.
The scholars. as they came in on
after another, looked Disguised, and
famed themselves with their books.
Miss True quietly shut up the stove,
and opened all the windows and the
door, Then, by few direct questions,
she found out who made the fire.
Moving up chair each side of the
stove, and one behind it, she called on
Tommy, Billy and Titus to come with
their books, and occupy the three
chairs. Then she gave all the others
seats near the open windows, and COM
menced recitations.
How those boys did sweat and swell
ter! please. Miss True. mayn't GO
to my seatP" asked Tommy, after
while.
No." said Miss True. so decidedly
that the others did not dare to ask.
How they did long for recess time.
that they might go out in the rain and
cool off! But when recess came they
were kept in instead, and very much
ashamed they looked.
elf you are sure you are warm
enough now, boys" said Miss True,
WueH Ieceeo WAS oFcT' you may eahc
your seats for the rest of the day."
And very glad they were to do it.
II tell YOU" said Billy, on the way
home. '.you won't catch me making
another fire on a hot day."
'.Nor me- said Titus. II like to
have roasted to death ~
Eyes. twas awful" sighed Tommy;
''but l couldn't help thinking she
served us just right"
And nobody denied it.-Our Little

Suits to Set Aside Judgments Obtained
Against Several Benevolent Lodges.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Bills have been
filed by the Supreme Lodge of Protec-
ton, Knights and Ladies of Honor, and
the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of
Pythias, against Elizabeth Zawistowski
to annual and set aside judgments held
by her against those organizations for in
.surance upon the life of her husband, John
A. G.. Zawistowski. The case was described
some time ago in these dispatches, and
attracted good deal of attention on ac-
count of its novelty. The supposed dead
man is not dead at all, but is a convict in
the penitentiary at Saltwater, Mimi,
where he goes by the name of August
Towsky. Zawistowsh insured himself in
the companies and then pretended to COM
NIT suicide, and his wife identified body
as his. He afterward married Lena c..
Luedloff and was sent to the penitentiary
for attempting to murder her, having first
insured her life for s., 900.
