A HUSBANDS BAD MANNERS.

Atlanta Constitution,
A friend was spending the day with
me the other day, and while she was
here our pastor called. After he left the
friend said: "Did you ever notice with
what respect Mr.. Conrad speaks of his
wife, and how courteously he treats her
at all times?" l nodded assent and my
friend went on:
81 suppose my husband is as good a
man as ever lived, but his mother did
not train him to be courteous to ladies'
His sisters were his slaves, and thereby
he is spoiled as a husband. | wish |
could train several hundred boys to be
husbands for the next generation. Do
you suppose they'd consider it their
prerogative to drive the girls out of the
easiest chair, take the sunniest corner of
the room, the best place by the light,
throw books, papers or slippers down for
some one to put away. grow up with the
idea that a wife must be valet and the
rest of the household stand respectfully
by to obey orders? You smile, but this
is anything but subject to laugh over.
really believe that husbands never
think how their unkind ways hurt. They
don't realize the difference to US. for in

to dinner. All day the wife has been
alone with the children and servants, and
is more hungry for kind word from her
husband than an epicurean feast He

For wonder dinner is once ready on
time the husband says. Couldn't he

KANSAS DAY-PLANT TREES.

The near approach of Kansas day
January 29-brings to mind the question
of tree planting, which Is usually made
the feature of that occasion. The I'M
portance of the matter need not be
argued. The advantages and benefits
resulting from the growth of trees, par
tlcularly in an open prairie country like
Kansas, are too patent to so much as re-
quire TO be enumerated. they suggest
themselves at once TO every intelligent.
thinking person. So important was the
subject deemed by the last Legislature
that 1t passed an act granting a bounty
of so for every acre of trees planted
this year. 1890, that should be tended 10
successful growth. This was done to
enable those who NAV not be able other
wise 10 procure the necessary tree plants.
and should. as il no doubt WILL greatly
stimulate and facilitate this verv I'M
portant enterprise among the people OF
the state generally.

grant to the state of Kansas such rates
and terms that we shall be able to han
die the immigration we expect to bring
here this year. At that meeting of the
directors can also be accomplished a
great deal of work and a great many
plans settled upon and questions deter
mined that are important and have aris-
en- and will be suggested since the meet
ing of the convention in this city and up
to the Omaha date. Thus all will see the
importance of a directors meeting at
that time when the active work of i'm
migration will commence. The bureau
tried to secure place nearer home to
meet the railroad association but were
unable to do SO.
The bureau is already receiving in
quiries from the east about Kansas as
the result of what has already been done,
which adc is indisputable evidence OF what
1,6O0, 900 people can do when they all

Gibson attempted to ford it on Monday,
and lost horse by drowning, narrowly es-
Gaping himself.
The Indian territory during the season of
1889, produced a better cotton crop and at
less expense, than any of the old cotton
producing states of the south. And what
will the harvest be when Oklahoma is all
one vast cotton field.
There is some fear that the multitude of
bills in congress for Oklahoma will delay
any one bill for Oklahoma from
being acted upon, but the fear is un-
grounded. Congress realizes Oklahomas
want of government, and will supply IL.
The present postoffice accommodations
of Oklahoma City are very inadequate to
the business done. The room in which it
is located is at mail times crowded almost
to suffocation, and the clerks find 1t hard
to satisfactorily wait upon the patrons of
the office.

hoped that as soon as the more pressing
Oklahoma legislation is accomplished con-
gress will turn its attention 10 the strip,

steer clear 6f that reef-partisan politics
upon which all former temperance Or

THE DEMON OF THE CLOCK.

Sitting late before the crate one cold January
night,
Staring biankly at the clock just half revealed by
tn uncertain light
OF the slowly dying embers, while fell, like hollow
moan,
On my ear each repetition of its dreary monotone
Long unused, my morbid fancy fastened On its deep
carved case,
And its spectral hands forever pressed against its
CHASTITY face.
It'll it seemed thing of reason and its inexpensive
dial
Leered upon me with the sembIance Of diabollc
SMILE
Is 1t but the fitful fever of fancy overweight,
Some stray phantom in the meshes Of imagination
caught?
o, its ticking, ticking tcking-sha never cease to
hear It?
VIII the cruel sound pursue me, like disembodied
spirit?
II seek in deepest slurnber lost repose-ungranted
peace,
Shall not then from the clutches Of this demon
find release.
Then my head bends lower, lower, and leaden
sound that seems
Ikea clocks contented ticking beats the measure
Of my dreams.

The Atchison Champion suggests that
''if the farmers of Kansas are no more
influential in the matter of electiHg a
United States senator than were the 40,-
600 farmers of Iowa who petitioned in
vain for the election of Larrabee, it will
prove that the farmer in politics is not
as potent factor as he might be-" The
trouble with the Iowa farmers was that
they waited too long to act. The time
for them to have spoken with effect was
before and at the polls when members to
the legislature were elected. Kansas
farmers have the experience of their
Iowa brethren TO profit by.

Ave. Indeed it Would.

From the Anthony Republican.
Washington city life has become al
together too rich for the blood of this
nation. Only few years ago the sala-
ries of congressman, senators and the
PRESIDENT, were raised TO meet the ava
ricious demands of Washington life.
And now honest, faithful and able Sam
r. Peters finds it too expensive for a
salary of $4,000 per annum. No doubt
the capacious nav of the capitol will
soon demand another increase of sala-
ries, as it did before, under the plea of
keeping up the dignity of the nation.
Would it not be a better plan to make
a move towards returning to the simple
ways of our fathers?

By the admission of the territories of
Dakota, Montana and Washington into
the union of states, the chain of states
crossing the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific is all but unkroken, says
the Kansas City Gazette. a narrow
strip of the territory of Idaho alone in
tervenes, running up between Montana
and Washington still to break the line,
so that when Idaho, too, is admitted as a
state, the chain of states from ocean to
pecan will be continuous and complete.

From the New York Herald.

commotion in Latin Europe, and we hear
all at once of societies and movements
urging and favOring union of Latin
republics.
In Canada they have also race ques-
tion-the French refusing TO be swallow
ed UP by the English and Scotch.
England has long had her race ques-
ton IN Ireland, with another IN India,
which, according to some authorities, is
likely to give her good deal OF trouble
in the next few years.
CASTELAR,, the eminent Spanish orator
and statesman, IN recent publication
declares his belief that it IS impossible
for the Latin race IN South America TO
come into really close relations with the
Ambassadors Of the United States.

A Poyerty.stricken Millionaire

This seems a paradox, but it is ex-
planned by one of New York's richest
men. 81 don't count my wealth in

possessions to me, since ] am victim
of consumption {? My doctor tells me
that [ have but few months to live,
for the disease is incurable. / am poor
er than that beggar yonder." But"
interrupted the friend to whom he spoke,
Consumption can be cured. If taken
in time, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will eradicate every vestige
of the disease from your system" "rll
try it." said the millionaire, and he did;
and to-day there is not a healthier,
happier man to be found anywhere.
The discovery" strikes at the seat of
the complaint. Consumption is a dis
ease of the blood-is nothing more nor
less than lung scrofula-a and it must
and does yield to this wonderful remedy.
"Golden Medical Discovery" is not
only an acknowledged remedy for that
terribly fatal malady, when taken in
time and given fair trial, but also fol-

weak Mon and weak women.

Men and women both suffer from weak
ness and loss of strength. Women, how
ever, suffer more than men. Men don't
have those bearing down pains, the bane OF
a weak woman's existence. Both, however,
have their dizzy spells, both bemoan their
loss of appetite, their lack of energy, that
feeling of WEAKNESS and constant fatigue.
Both become languid, insipid, and life to
either hardly seems worth living. Their
kidneys are weak and seem wasting away.
Their livers are inactive, their stomachs dis
ordered, their bowels irregular. OH fool
ish, foolish men and womenl why will you
not seek the way to health and strength.
Others as miserable as yourselves are now
simply because they put prejudices aside and
began a use of that excellent Alternative
known as DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla. Ask
your neighbors who have used it what they
think about it. Ask your druggist for a
bottle, and don't take any other
