stately brick mansion, the the
venerable old gent and his good wife, They.
owned n clock how high or how low /. was,
We do not know, but for long years the
clock had been silent, and allowed to 60 un-
molestcd. All of sudden, however, and
to the surprise of al, after such long rest,
the old clock began to strike, and kept
.stri king an indefinite number Of times. A
few days after this unaccountable freak, the
good lady of the house-the faithful, devoted
wife and mother, passed cover the river"
A few years after this the old gentleman
was one day somewhat surprised to hear .
repetition of the solemn clocks procedure.
The striking was in the same unmistakeable
loud, clear tone. A few days more and the
old gentleman joined his devoted wife, who
had preceded him to the 'other shore
few years before, under the same strange
circumstances.
This strange and deadly striking of the
old clock was the subject of comment for
this, tho young man was startled and bo-
wildered to notice the striking of the same
deadly monitor, and quick as thought he
took the clock down and laid it fiat upon the
floor, saying, "you struck out fathers and
mothers destiny but you don't strike out
mine" This young man is now Minister
Of tho Gospel.
Let's watch the clocks. They arestriking
out our destinic. every day and every hour.
As the farmers are looking up seed for
planting, think it would be we'll to put in
side crops and not depend altogether on corn

derfully productive. Hon. Ben Perry raises
soga beans for hogs and recommends them
= very highly for their fattening qualities.

A MILD WINTER RUINED TmEM.-New
York, March 13.-The dry goods commission
house of HARRISON & Loder made an assign
ment this morning with liabilities of about
100000. The house has always been con-
sidered safe, and carried on n business of
$2O0O,OOO per year. The asets are not yet
known, but are believed to be about 80 per
cent Of the liabilities. The failure was
caused by mild weather, their retail custom
in winter goods being SO dull as to make col
lections impossible.

WHAT KANSAS NEEDS.

The Leavenworth Times in discuss
ing the above subject contains the fol-
lowing pertinent and practical suggcs'
tions, which should meet the serious
reconsideration Of every thinking per-
son In Kansas. Tho article says
'Kansas needs diversity Of industries
She carries too many of her eggs In
one basket. Too many Of her citizens
are engaged in food producing. There
is an over-production of food and an
INTERPRETATION of other necessaries
and conveniences of life; too much
corn, and wheat, and oats, and hay,
too little Of other productions OF the
farm aud too little manufacturing.
Thus it happens that great portion OF
the products Of the state must seek a
market beyond the limits Of the state,
a distant market. Nor do our prod
ucts 60 to market in a condensed
shape, but in the bulkiest form. Corn
in the shape of hogs and cattle would
be better, corn in the shape of beef
and pork better still, but our corn goes
largely as corn. The country that
ships raw material remains poor.
Kansas farmers must devote less at
tention TO food products and more to
other products OH the farm, and Kan
sas cities must build more manufacto-
ries if we would increase in wealth as
we should. 1t can be done if the PEG.
pie will but go at it and do it. But
they must build the manufactures or
give material aid to them themselves,
not wait for the eastern capitalist TO
come along and do it for them. He
who would have good servant must
serve himself. When the. wise old
mother bird who had built her nest
among the corn learned that the farm
or, tired of waiting for his neighbors
to assist him, had determined to cut
the corn himself, she took her brood
and flew away. She knew that the
work would then be DONE"

AN AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.

The Evening News of Kansas City,
although not yet five years old, recog-
nizes that this is an age OF improve
ment. II has just moved into one of the
handsomest newspaper buildings in the
west a building erected expressly for
it and combining all the conveniences
that time and experience can suggest
or money secure. In addition, new
Rotter perfecting press with capacity
of twenty-five thousand papers an
hour, has been added to its mechanic
al outfit, enabling It TO take front rank
among the established papers of the
country. Do you take a daily paper ?
Suppose in any event you try The
Evening News.
II will be sent you by mail every
day except Sunday one year for two
dollars. This is special offer and is
the lowest price that any daily news
paper has ever been sold for.
While il is cheap in price II is in no
sense of the word cheap in quality.
The telegraph news is furnished by
the United Press and thoroughly COW
ers the world.
It's short and pithy paragraphs of
events happening in the three great
states CT Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska are alone worth more than The
cost of the paper. You can send your
order direct to The Evening News, 900

HOW TO BOOM.

The following item we find in al
Illinois exchange, and as it so ably
discusses in a brief way the question
of how to boom we gladly give il
publication here:
The way to boom town is to treat
lis Interests with the same considera'
ton that you would show to your
business. Don't be afraid 10 advertise
it, and don't advertise 1t on the wrong
side. Too many people, who feel dis
contented, and who wouldn't be con-
tented anywhere, express their dissat'
isfaction openly and among strangers
Don't hesitate TO invest dollar i'll a
scheme for the public good when you
can spare it and when the scheme
needs its support. Act always as
though you wanted to see the town
advance and show that you will do
what little pushing you can, even il
YOU can't hold the ribbons and drive.
Don't be mean to your town; treat ii
generously and it will not forget you.
The kind of a boom introduced by
following these directions is not that
which comes from options or sale OF
real estate, but a good healthy growth
All this can be done by patronizing
your home paper both with advertis-
ing and subscription. A paper that
goes abroad without advertisements
shows a dead town. Nothing pro-
,mOtes condolences SO much aud so
quickly .as standing advertisement.
Spasmodic advertising alarms the
people and at once creates the impress.
sion that there is a little shoddy mixed
up in the prices. 1t requires all these
Ingredients properly applied to make
a town grow right.

right and before lis fiftieth year will
not only be able to buy almost any
other state in the union, but will have

If you want to be healthy you must
cat regular. Stop eating and you'll

and is never satisfactory.
