Cleveland Plain-Dealer Three year old Frank is beautiful, bright little fellow, the only child in the family until few days since, and petted much more than is for his good. Last week little sister was born, and Frank was sent to The Hollen- den to remain with his grandmother for a few days. Franks nose was decidedly out of joint. He was sure that the dreadful baby was entirely to blame for his first banishment from home, and he could not like her even little bit. A morning or two after his coming to the hotel lady who understood just how he felt, happen ed to meet Frank and his grandmother in | the hall, and accosted him with "What's happened up to your house, anyway, Frank?" In an instant the sunny little face wa angry and flushed. "Its baby p he replied. his childish voice expressing how hurt he felt at the little strangers intrusion.
 "A baby" repeated the lady, in we'll feigned astonishment; Chow did it get there"
 Frank was puzzled for a moment and then answered, contemptuously tossing his head:
 | "Oh, it just sneaked in."

Chicago Tribune: Captain, reported the officer, as he came up from below, pale with fear, "the water is gaining on us. We must tighten the ship"
 With the presence of mind that distin- guishes the true hero from the craven in the hour of peril, the captain instantly called all hands on deck.
 "Men, he said, and his deep voice rang out, clear and strong, over the wild waste of waters that threatened to ingulf the stately vessel, 'throw those things over- board !'' .....-.
 The sailors went to work with the ener- gy of despair. In less than an hour they had thrown over the side of the vessel the private baggage of a travelling actress and three fashionable canes belonging to London dude, and the gallant ship, with her leak now high above water, bounded on her course like thing of life. Her commander had saved her.

TIME SERVERS.

How many men there are, holding good, paying positions as Journeymen, who are really of no value unless kept constantly under the eye of the foreman or their en- ployer They are simply time servers, who take no interest in the business they rep resent beyond the actual time necessary to count them days work. They work when closely watched because they are obliged to, not from any motive of honor or interest in the business.
 What can be expected of such workmen but that they will shirk their work and idle their time at every opportunity
 If you cannot give your employer your full time for which he pays, and take some interest in his business, you had better leave him at once. To thls he is entitled, and has right to expect it of you.
 If your mind is not upon your work, you cannot expect to accomplish it with any degree of satisfaction to your employer or credit to yourself.
 In going about from ooe shop to another it is very easy matter to pick out the time servers. Upon the slightest pretext they drop their work or talk or look about, and are always ready to get out of the door the moment the clock strikes six, and their ex- ample is very rapidly followed by the ap- prentices or younger workmen. They have to be constantly watched, and this fact, be- ing known to the firm, is not long in hav- ing it's results.
 Employers are more generally knowing to the habits and qualities of the men whom they employ than the men often realize, and they invariably know who are the time servers among them, so that when there comes convenient opportunity or a Hull in business, these are the first to be dis charged.
 It pays to be faithful and do your best at all times, and more especially when your employer is not watching. If you must idle away time, do it when he is about, but don't dishonor yourself and betray his confidence by taking advantage eff his ab- fsence.
 | This is one of the worst features of our American system. It is an example which is set by the older men, and which is read. fly adopted by apprentices, and it is the exception rather than the rule that we find @ young man who is sufficiently interested in his own welfare and his employers as we'll to give his full time and attention to his work.

Am Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, we'll known jour- nalist in agricultural circles, writes April 18th 1889: Some five years ago wrote a letter stating that Swift's Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since that time have had no return of the rheumatic troubles, al- though frequently exposed to the influences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had similar experience, and are firm in their conviction that s. s. s. brought 8 permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it devel- oped scrofulous taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago, and has removed the last trace of it. I have also test ed s. s. s. as a tonic after severe attack of malarial fever, which kept me in bed for three months, and am convinced that it's curative and strengthening properties insured my re- covery from that illness, as I was in very low condition of health.

THE DEMAND FOR COLD WATER.

The water works manager reported that
he was aroused at o'clock yesterday
morning by an alarm from the station
that there was trouble and lots OF it over
on the island. He rushed over and the
huge pump that ordinarily supplies the
city going at the rate of eight strokes per
minute was showing water at lightning
speed. He thought certainly the big main
had give way and sent messengers all over
town to look for the trouble. The pump
kept up its steady lightning stroke and he
thought every second would be the last for
the station. Finally some of the messen-
gers got back and reported that it was q
legitimate demand. Most of the hydrsnts
in town were open and the fellows could
not get water fast enough. They had
been having TOO much Christmas, and in
addition to drinking each a barrel of water
and bathing the head all the bath tubs
were in use on cold bath orders. They
were having an awful time of it and pray
ing in their style for more water. When
the situation was fully comprehended
every pump in the station, even the one
supplying the boilers ordinarily, was set to
work on the city service.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

The altar of Wichita lodge, 1S9, Knights
of Pythias, was very elaborstely draped in
mourning by r. G. L. E. Hamburg, the
organizer of the lodge. The following
resolutions of respect were then recon-
mended by the committee and unani-
mously adopted:
HON. JUsTUs H. RATHBURN.
swell done. thou good and faithful ser
want. enter thou into the JOY Of the Lord"
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty
God, supreme chancellor of the universe,
in all his wisdom, to remove from the Su-
preme lodge on earth our beloved brother
and founder of the order of knights of
Pythias, Justus II. Rathburn, therefore be
it resolved,
That the officers and members of Wich-
tia lodge, 1885, Knights of Pythias Of Kan
sas, tender the family of our deceased and
beloved brother our heartfelt sorrow in the
loss of one of Gods noblemen, a true and
brave friend, a loving father and wise
councillor.
Be it further resolved that copy Of
these resolutions be furnished to the be-
reaved family, the Grand lodge, each OF
our daily papers, and also spread upon the
minutes of our lodge.

CENTRAL AFFAIRS.

The telephone company is behind sever
al weeks filing orders. Quite y number
have been ordered which have not been
filled, and the local manager, Mr.. Chip
chase, replies that it is almost impossible
to get telephones and so far completely
impossible. He hopes to be able to I'LL
orders within the next three weeks.
The bout between the city council and
the te,e phone company is creating some
attention. There seems little doubt that
the six days will end with the telephone
poles on Tenth street standing up as
bravely as ever. About this time 1t is
supposed that the city will take its gloves
off and make the first violent pass of the
contest. Soon after this the company's
attorneys from Topeka are expected to
put in an appearance with gloves in the
corner and barehanded make violent
lupge at Mr.. City.

our fathers cried ont to the world: I'VE,
the people of the United States, in order to
form more perfect union, establish JUS
tice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the gen.
eral welfare, and secure the blessing OF
liberty to ourselves and our posterity. do
ordain and establish this constitution for
the United States of America."
Thus America in day assumed place
among the nations Of the earth. Their
mission was to teach the fitness for self
government, and their destiny was to out
strip every other people in national achieve
ments and material greatness.
In proof of this being fulfilled can do
no better than quote the story OF Ben
Franklin, who when minister of our
young republic at the court of Versailles
was present with other political dignita-
ries at a banquet when toasts were drank
in honor Of the countries represented. The
British minister arose, end with the pomp
peculiar to the British aristocracy pro-
pounded: "Great Britain, the golden sun
enlightening the nations.
The French minister, unwilling to be
outdone by his English cousin. arose and
in that polite manner peculiar to the
French people, offered: France, the sill
YER moon illuminating the darkness of the
world"
Then Ben franklin got up and in
that matter of fact way peculiar
to the American people, said: George
Washington. the Joshua OF America, who
commanded the sun and moon to stand
still and they both obeyed him."
Again, / think some OF what Charles
Dickens said as he passed away from this
country on his last reading tour, and he
was asked to say what he thought OF Ame-
RIGA, and he said: Everything is hum
ming, but it is not all hum; everything is
coming, but it has not all come" Thus,
then, America will ever be looked upon by
the world for unprecedented cummings
and comings. Another illustration: Take
only the United States of America, though
she has as yet but one-fifteenth
of the population, she possesses
one-third of the mining. one-fouruh Of the
manufacture, one-fifth of the agriculture
and one-sixth of the wealth of the civiliz-
ed world.
Her churches, schools and universities
and benevolent institutions, which beauti-
fy every town and hamlet and look out
from every hillside, testifying to how her
people look upon religious teachings, upon
advanced education and on deeds Of
charity.
The enthusiasm manifested in America
by the American people can not but i'm
press itself upon the minds of you English
men, like did it on our fellow countryman,
Bayard Taylor, when he said: "All comes
upon me like dreams come upon the
drinker of hashish."
At the o'clock the Albions and friends
left the dining room.
