When Yankee is struck by a
thunder bolt and knocked endways
across ten acre lot, the only. regret
he feels upon recovering consciousness,
is the disheartenlng fact that he can't
capture the bolt and exhibit it for

Captain Hannum was exhibiting
last week. a sample of the first

run off by the new refinery. 1t is

possibly be produced.
Last Friday night a horse was
stolen from the ranch of G. Albro
Dusenbury, near Clafiin. The stolen
horse is brown. about five years old,
very wild and full of life. Suspicion
rests on a man named Jones, who
wore when last seen a suit of clothes
with dark red check and a white
sombrero hat. A man who came to
Clafin with Jones has been arrested
and is now confined in Jail here, await
ing further Developments. Fifty dol
lars reward is offered for the capture
of the thief We understand that one
of the deputy sheriffs is on track of
him.
Trlmps are becoming too numerous
in this city. Friday morning a
big, burly ioafer stopped at house in
the east end of town and demanded
from the lady who came to the door,
something to eat. The lady gave him
what he wanted to eat, and Oh going
out he stole a handsome vase from
the table. A few nights ago another
one of these buns stopped at another
house and demanded admittance,
surprising that no one was home but
the lady, but her husband happened
to be present, and he went for Mr..
Tramp, who went flying out of the
yard with the assistance of a number
nine foot. To feed these buns only
encourages their tramping.
About the finest menu we have ever
seen gotten up for country hotel was
that used on the occasion of the open-
ing of the Morrison Hotel at Great
Bend on March 18th. The pages on
which the names of the committees
and the menu were printed were fast
ened into heavy cardboard covers with
white tasseled cord The first page
of the cover was ornamented with
splendidly etched views of Great Bend
in 1871 and 1888, showing the change.
In the first was represented herd Of
bufaloes on the plaine, a dugout hut
and "prarie schooner; in the second
a fine engraving of the new Morrison,
and other buildings. The bill was a
commendable piece of work.-Chicago

"a FRIEND OF NINE"
The Law which EneiroIes the Entire
Globe.

The Law which Encircles the Entire
Globe.
Travellers who have gone 'far cOun-
tries for to see" say that they find hui
man nature pretty much the same all
the world over.
They find vide variance In color OF
skin, in physical contour, in mental char
aeteriatics, but in the essential elements
that control social conduct, the human
family is a brotherhood
The law, unWritten, found in no stat
ute hook, enforced by no court DEGREES,
but having an influence. circumscribed
only by the limits OF earthly space, Is
the lap Of kindness.
Among people where cruelty to hu-
man kind is almost a fixed habit, who
are relentless foes, and as friends scarce
" less to be dreaded, whose savage ma
lures rsvel In hendish atrocities, there
yet fingers the spark Of divinity which
lifts man above the beasts
Sorrow melts the human heart Wher-
ever found; and sympathy mingles its
tears with grief al the world over.
Where pity does not dwell there lives no
thing Of human kind. It is athe touch Of
nature that makes the Whold world kin. -
What a terrible world this would be
to live In we're it not for the sympathy
and loving Kindness shown us when EOr-
row comes, for it is decrsed that in all
lives ''sOme days must be dark and
dreRry."
The 10000 and more voluntary testi-
mOnials the proprietOrs of Warmers sBfs
cure have received in regard to the eff
cacy Of that remedy, reveal this ''touch
Of nature" in a peculiar manner. The
great majority Of them acknowledge that
it wBs through some kind friend who, In
pity for their suffering, had made known
to them the wonderful merits OF this
great remedy.
The testimonial of Capt. Geo. B. Wilt
bank, Of Philadelphia, is a fair sample,
He was put ashore from his ship to die
OF a fever resulting from kidney and liv-
er trouble, and as physicians could moi
help him, there seemed no hope for hina,
But he says, "a friend Of mine who
happened into port, came to see me, and
u ged me to begin the use Of Warmers
safe cure" He began to use 1t as Lis
friend advised, and WGs cured in a very
short time.
How many men there are to-day II
the world, rounding out lives Of useful
ness, making the world happier and bet
ter, who WOuld have long since passed tc
the other shore, had it not been for the
loving kindness Of friends, shown in tbii
practical way, as these testimonials from
all quarters Of the globe EffOrd ampl,
evidence.

There are to be found occasionally
upon the walls of old brick houses, at
about the line of division between the
first and second stories, fiat pieces of
iron five or six inches in length and
shaped somewhat like the letter S.
The use Of these articles was clearly
brought from England, where il still
continues, and a writer In a recent num-
Der Of Nature gives a curious account
Of its origin and meaning.
This writer says that the figure in
question Is an early symbol of the sun.
1t is still used in HerefOrdshire and
other parts of England. He once asked
an old servant of the family GlOuces-
tershire mantle reason for the
particular form of these irons, and the
reply was that they were made thus in
order to protect the house from fire, as
well as from falling down"
If one viii examine into the antiqui-
ties of the Isle of Man he viii find the
seal of the Government shows a curious
combination In this figure. The same
was on the official seal of Sicily. We
can trace its use to the oldest countries
of Asia, but its origin was earlier than
history gives any record. Youth 8
