FINANCES OF CITY SCHOOLS.
Receipts and Expenditures for the Year Ending
July 1, '9o-More Money Expended for
Schools by W ichita than by Any
Other City in the State.

There is not city in the state that has
spent as much money during the year end
ing July l for schools as Wichita This
might be considered only natural and a
fact known by so many that il would
scarcely be necessary to state or refer to.
The expenditures have been all along the
line of improvements. The demand of
some time for more buildings and rooms
was partly complied with in providing
800. 900 for buildings. Even this expendi-
ture, while it will cut off many buildings
being rented, will not completely wipe out
the rent list While none of the larger
buildings were ready for the last school
year, all will be completed by
September s, next, the beginning
of the next gear. The new
buildings being ed eted are pronounced
by all to be the result of the best archi-
tectural and mechanical skill combined.
For the amount expected the showing, as
estimated, could scarcely have been i'm
proved upon in any section of the city
wherever buildings have been located.
The increase in pupils and improvement
of the corps of teachers as well as lncreas-
ing the same in numbers have also called
for increase of expenditure in this line
In response to continued improvement
and increasing of facilities and num-
Der of pupils the running expenses of
next school year will no doubt be greater
than last. So far, however, it is thought
not so much will be spent next year in
buildings, if any indeed, aside from few
additions and Improvements.
1t may be of interest to observe the re-
ceipts and expenditures for the year end
ing the first of this month. An itemized
statement of the finances for the year is as
follows:

COUNTY VALUATION.
The Work of Finding out the Basis OF Taxation
Completed---A Clever Showing in Cold
Figures.

Considerable interest has been shown in
finding out the assessed valuation of the
property in the county according TO the
valuation of this year. II was also desired
to find out the valuation OF the property
in the city aud in the country. as well as to
know the total County Clerk Dunkin
and corps of assistants have been quite busy
making the calculations. The school board
and city council have been unable to arrive
at levy for the taxation until the total
was known. The committees of the conn
Gil and school board were not able TO
make their estimates. and that work should
be done soon. The work was completed
last evening, and those engaged at 1t for
some time leaned back in their chairs and
took long breath, followed with a few
words Of thanks in mild language. The

Now, boys, if you will help the
dear mother down the hill of life, and
make the path smooth for her, do the
things she wishes you to do. And if
you are all right as regards bad habits,
perhaps you are not as thoughtful to
the 'little things" that make up life
as you might be. Be as polite in
waiting upon your mother as you are
in waiting upon some other boys

speak to her, and careful to remem-
Der what she wishes you to be par

Treat Him Right.

Business Chronicle.
We mean your boy, the little fell
low you left at home this morning
when you started for the store or Of
flee. Don't forget he has wants as
real and tangible to him as yours are
to you. Remember, he is no more "a
born saint than you were. And if
you just reflect little you will be
ashamed to think how far from it
you were. Don't forget him as soon
as his "good-by, papa" fades away
behind you. Didn't he ask you for
something?-a jack-knife or ham
mer or a new slate or some pencils or
something or other? If you love
your boy and wish to show him that
you do, you might better forget a
business appointment down town
than to forget his request.
If he asks you for something your
better judgment says he should not
have, don't be content with simply
ignoring the boys wish, but take the
time and trouble to explain your
reasons. Boys, even pretty young
ones, are quicker than you may
think to see a point. Always give a
reason for refusal of his request, even
if it is the one you too often give
that you can't afford it. And b(
careful how you give that reason.
Ifhe has lost or broken his jack
knife, and asks you for a new one
don't scold him. Albeit you may
give him little lesson in careful
ness, but don't tell him you cam
give him ten cents for new one
and then before you leave the hOus
pull out your CIGAR case and light {
ten-cent cigar.
The boy will be drawing invidi
Gus distinction, before you know it.

Ripeness in Character.

One mark is beauty. Ripe fruit
has its own perfect beauty. AS the
fruit ripens, the sun tints it with sur
passing loveliness, and the colors
deepen till the beauty of the fruit is
equal to the beauty Of the blossom,
and in some respects superior. There
is in ripe Christians the beauty Of
realized qualification, which the word
of God knows by the name of"beauty
Of holiness"
Another mark of ripe fruit is tens
derness. The young, green fruit is
hard and stOne-like. The mature
Christian is noted for tenderness of
spirit.
Another mark of ripeness is sweet
ness. The unripe fruit is sour. AS
we grow in grace we are sure to
grow in charity, sympathy, and love.
We shall, as we ripen in grace, have
greater sweetness toward our fellow
Christians. Bitter spirited Christians
may know a great deal, but they are
immature.
Those who are quick to censure
may be very acute in judgment, but
they are as yet immature in heart.
know we who are young beginners
in grace think ourselves qualified tC
reform the whole Christian Church
We drag her before us and condemn
her straightway; but when our virtues
become more mature, / trust we shall
not be more tolerant of evil, but we
shall be more tolerant Of intirmity
more hopeful for the people of God
and certainly less arrogant in OuI
criticisms.
Another and very sure mark 0
ripeness is a loose hold of earth. Rip
fruit easily parts from the bough

PECULIAR INFATUATION.
Different Methods of Following the
Injunction, "Love One Another.

Do men ever fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago young
woman in New Jersey was married
tOa youthful la5orer on her fathers
farm. Sometime afterward it Was
discovered that the husband was a
female; the young wife refused, how
ever, though earnestly entreated by
her friends, to give up her chosen
consort. The strangest part of the
discovery was the fact that the bride
knew her husband was woman be-
fore she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange
infatuation for one of their own sex,
they at least oftentimes give evidence
of the fact that they love one another.
There are many instances on record
where one man has given his life for
another. There are many more in
stances where men have given life to
another.

How to Succeed in Life.

A strong will, a patient temper,
and sound common sense, when unit
ed in the same individual, are as
good as a fortune to their possessor.
Barring untOward accidents, the man
endowed with these qualitses, who
starts on his career with a determina-
tion to reach a desirable position, does
reach it.
Our admiration is sometimes be-
spoken for successful people, who are
said to have "leaped over every OBJ
stacle." Biographies of eminent
men are particularly fond of making
their heroes arrive at the goal of their
hopes by this steeple-chase process.
But the truth is, that impetuous
spirits who charge at every impede
ment in their path on the sink-or-
swim, survive-Or>perish plan, unless
favored with extraordinary luck, are
more apt to sink than to swim, to
perish than to survive. 1t is advis-
able to go round obstacles that you
might break your neck in attempt
ing to take at a flying leap. Policy
is as necessary to success, in most
cases, as energy.
When young man has made up
his mind that he will get on in life,
let him take due time to reflect on
the best means Of accomplishing his
object, and having laid down such
rules for his future conduct as his

let him stick to them infeXibly. He
must foreg0 self.indulgence where il
would be likely to interfere with his

who have the ability and the will to

to meet with on the road. Whoever

Insurance Against Disease.

In certain instances there have
been arrangements made between
physician and the head of a family
hat a fixed amount should be paid
for each day the various members of
the family continued in good health.
But should sickness enter the house,
hold, the physicians usual stipend
was discontinued. Such an agree
ment is founded on common sense,
for we don't want to be made well,
we want to be kept well. There is
great deal of unnecessary sickness re-
sulting from a want of careful atten-
ton to bodily requirements. Keep
the blood pure, keep the functional

he PLACED HIMSELF BEFORE MIRROR.
He did not woo his afianced; she SIM
ply adored him, in passionate though
innocent fashion scarcely comprehensi-
bic to the French.
The marriage was effected in three
weeks, and Teresa revived rapidly under
the invigorating influence of her happi-
ness. She took possession of her young
and handsome husband, fully, ardently,
with a jealous and complete monopoly.
Agreeable and kind, he suffered her to
do this, becoming the more readily hers
and theirs from the fact that, his family
having gone, the poor fellow had not a
tie in the world outside of Teresa and her
relatives.
In marrying the daughter of the Car
dellis he became almost as much their
child as she was, and in the simplicity Of
his excellent and unsuspecting nature,
desiring to see everybody satifed, he
kindly allowed himself to be captured.
Up to the last moment Teresa feared
lest some Unforeseen event might take
him from her. From morning till night
he was held prisoner, for she was still
Jealous of Rosa Falcone, and did not
want Orlando to meet her, for then he
might regret the young girl and renounce
his marriage with Teresa.
Father, mother, maiden aunt, every
body, covered the young lover with gar
lands; all hung upon his lips from fear OF
displeasing him. And this was absolute
" sincere.
But when he had become Teresa's, in
stalled in her house, bound by solemn
oath, her goods, her husband, her prop
erty in fact, Teresa's passion became a
jealous delirium and its form changed.
Instead of submissive, she became ex.
acting. She had so long hoped in vain
that her anxiety was not Gained by pos
session. The young husband said to him
self that she had suffered much; he ac.
cepted in the beginning. At the end OF
six months, when the condition of affairs
caused him frequent irritation, he saw
what a mistake he had made in not re.
sisting at the start: the precedent had
been established. 1t was necessary tc
submit in order to avoid scenes and ner-
vous crises.

He tried, however, to struggle; but
what could he do against wife, g

Then even his work was taken from
him. Monteforte had never been what
is considered an interchangeable toiler. But
his art now became a necessity to him
to enable him to forget the petty trials Of
every day life.
The studio caused his wife continual
suspicious.
In the first place she permitted him ms
