by c. LowArER.

Once ON q time all true stories begin So
Hundreds OF years back, when you and
Lived s monkeys In Africas tree tops high,
Before the folks had learned TO sin so.
The people OF China TO gruinble began,
Because their emperor was n single man;
Said they, -See here, SIR
We greatly fear sir.
When you're beheaded thereli be no heir near.
sir;
We advise you 20 marry as soon as you can"
The emperor was In despair;
He wanted 10 marry, but didn't know where
In the whole extent Of the ilowery land
Was maiden worthy the gift OF his hand.
There were beautiful maids by scores at his
feet,
But he wanted one that would love him alone;
One that for love of his smile SO sweet,
Would be flesh of his flesh and bone OF his bone.
-Such one L shall never find, fear
But here he was struck by bright idea.
just at this time, in the city of Pekin
Lived little Elee, maid SO fair,
Through all the land you might go seeking
In city or country anywhere
And never see her equal in beauty.
What splendid wide mouth!
She could make n drouth
OF tea in that land where tea pays no duty.
And her hair as black
AS negrO's back.
.Down her neck" in the latest fashion,
And held by the buckle that kept her sash on.
But the crowning glory Of little Ellee
Was her dainty feet; YOU never see
Such small ones here, where maidens fair
Actually walk-they never do there,
But bandage and press them
And pet and caress them;
And you may be sure, when it's all been done
Such feet are certainly No. l.
AS you may suppose
Such beautiful toes
Brought little Ellee an abundance Of beaus;
Rich and poor and OF every station
Found in that stationary nation
But she gave them all to understand
BY violent move of her dainty foot.
That they could have that in place OF her hand,
Which didn't seem the suitors To suit.
But no tender maiden such as Ellee
Can remain in this world long fancy free;
The hardest heart like wax will melt,
III brought where the flame of love is felt.
There came time when there came a man
AS lovely as was Ellee herself;
Five feet long was his cue, IL an ell
And his clothes We're such as showed right well
He man with pelf
He sent four gifts his suit TO aid
A pair OF chopsticks silver aud gold,
a little puppy, six months old
IN he knew the tender heart OF n maid
gildeS kite with five balls of string,
End gong that took two men 10 ring.
She ate the dog with the chopsticks gay,
She flew the kite that very day
IT broke the string and got away
And sho rang the gong till ii reused the town.
And all the fire-engines came down.
This was tho way he courted Ellee
The marriage came of in the month Of May;
can tell how lovely and bright was She
Nor how very happy and gay was he;
But just three months from the bridal day,
Where do YOU think he took her, say?
Right TO the Royal Palace gate,
And the Emperor had found mate
Happy was he, in his regal state,
And happy was she, though rich and great,
For where true hearts together are bound,
There viii happiness ever be found.

ORGANIZATION OF AN ENGLISH LUTHER
AN CHURCH.


Under appointment of the board of home
mission of the Lutheran general synod,
Rev. w. L. Seabrook, formerly of Gettys-
burg, Pa, came to Wichita about the 1st
of August last, and has now completed the
preliminary work looking to the organiza-
ton of an English Lutheran church in this
city. Mr.. Seabrook has found among the
citizens Of Wichita about eighty persons
who were members of the Lutheran church
before coming here, and who have not
united with other denominations. He has
visited many of these persons and, al
though there are some whose acquaintance
he has not made, the best interest of the
work calls for immediate organization
without further delay.
The pastor and officers of the Plymouth
CONGREGATIONAL church have offered the
use OF their chapel corner of Lawrence ave
nue. and Second street, for meeting to be
held on Sunday afternoon next, at 2:15
o'clock. Mr.. Seabrook wishes to extend
an invitation through our columns to all
Lutherans in this city to attend this
meeting and participate in the organiza-
ton of the congregation.

TwELyEDAYS OFDARKNEss.

For almost two weeks this portion of the
great Arkansas valley has been Swallowed
continually with dense clouds and DAMP
ened with heavy fogs and drizzly rains.
Only for an hour on last Saturday in all
of tie eleven days did the sun show itself.
1t has been the longest fall-spell of such
weather ever experienced. The streets and
roads of course have been little short of
the horrible. but how the wheat has grown.
Never did anybody see the like of the way
wheat has grown. But what is remark
able about all of this rain and cloud and
mud, it seems that i: was only local, rs
far north as Topeka and as far west as
Dodge, and as far east as Ft. Scott the sun
has been shining for the greatest part of
that time as usual.
