Her big and big hearted Aunt Romancff
attended her particularly. After Marie's
illness took on SO grave a form she would
allow DO one, nurse OF otherwise, in her
bedroom at night. Her aunt therefore
made up her mind that she would not go
to bed herself, and for weeks at a time
every night she stretched herself ont on a
mat in front OF AaTie's door and spent the
night
1t was quite pathetic 10 think of this
enormous, tender hearted woman stretched
out on her back smoking cigarettes
through the night hours and listening
carefully TO her beloved niece's breathing,
ready at the least sound of coughing to go
In and cover her up under pretense of hav-
ing herself just risen from bed
Under these conditions it would not do
for the old aunt 10 be all dressed, as that
would excits MArie's suspicious. Conse-
Quently she slept on the door mat in her
night dress. One night, however, Nine
Romanoffs great crime Of sleeping outside
the door was discovered by Marie, and then
there was q tremendous time.

Her One FauIt.

Lucy Peters went to boarding school
with the determination to make herself be-
loved by all Of her schoolmates and teach
ers. Why should she not succeed? She
looked in the glass and saw bright, spark
ling faced girl, with a neat figure and quick,
graceful motions. She knew that she was
intelligent and good tempered; she was
confident that her judgment was better
than that of most of her companions. Why
should she not become favorite and lead
er among them
Wien she entered the classroom for the
first time her eyes passed over her COM
rades with a friendly but keen scrutiny.

At the end Of three years Lacy Peters re-
turned home Her father came for her,
snd listened to the report of her progress
which the principal laid before him. Your
daughter has studied faithfully. She has
stood usually al the head of her class, she
said coldly. She is a girl of high prin-
ciples."

But the praise was cold, and the teacher
apparently was well pleased to take leave
of her admirable pupil AIR. Peters OBJ
served, too, that her schooinlateS showed
no grief at parting with Lucy.
"HaVe you no intimate friend whom you
would Ike to visit yOu?" he asked. These
girls appear 60 be fond of each other
''They are not fond of me-" said Lucy
sadly.
Her home was in California. She had
not seen it for three years. Her mother
and the other children received her with
Joy and warm affection; but at the end of
. week the household was in a state of in
surrection. The Oldest boy complained
Loudly to his mother.
SISTER LHcy won't let me alone. She
said my cravats We're ugly, and she did not
want me 20 wear them; she calls my friend
jim vulgar and insulted him, and she is
lecturing me all day long"
The maids soon began to complain.
s'Miss Lucy found fault with everything
that WAS done. They could not stay to be
bossed by her," and SO it was all through
the household.
A year or two later she married. a feel
ing of relief came over the household. Her
husband was triumphant in the treasure
he had won.
"Poor feNowf' said her father as they
drove away. Lucy has but one fault, but

A Talented Musician.

Miss Augusta NJ. Lowell, organist of the
Church of the Incarnation, at Harlem, n.
Y, is considered the most distinguished
organist of her sex in this country. She
was born in California, and in childhood
showed a genius for music which during
the past six or seven years has been de-
veloped by a course of thorough insruo-
ton at New York. During this time she
has pursued her studies for ten or fifteen
hours daily, and has composed some nota-
bic and beautiful Songs and sonatas. Her
success illustrates afresh that patient ap-
plication and earnest effort form the only
sure highway TO Observation-Disclosures

Don't Buy Needless Clothes.

People who are not willing to observe
the simple rules which diferentiate the
usefulness of various sorts of dress should
have only one kind. The woman who
wears out her old reception gowns IN the
morning, or who allows herself to be seen
in neglige toilet after midday, should be
denied the luxury of either. But how com
mon are both of these sins? The rise and
downfall of the tea gown points a moral:
Never buy clothes which you have no
proper opportunity for wearing just be-
cause they are pretty.-Kate Fields Wash

CAPITALISTS IN WICHITA.

A special car over the Missouri Pacific
arrived last evening at 6:25 containing nine
teen capitalists from New York, who had
been out in Colorado. Ten days ago they
left home, took in St. Louis, Kansas City.
Denver. Manitou, and attempted to get up
Pixies peak, but the snow drove them back
about timber line. Returning in special
train, one engine broke down a few miles
east of Pueblo another at Scott City, and
after that they reported getting along very
nicely. 1t was the first visit west for a
number of them. and they were very much
delighted with the trip.
The party was composed Of Major and
Mrs. B. r. Corwin, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk
man, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. f. Parsall, DIR. and
Mrs. Griffiths, Mr.. l.. Byers, Miss Jennie
Williams, Mrs. j. Z. Corwin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nixon, Miss Nixon, Mr.. and Mrs. II. w.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF 1T?

THE drying up OF a single tear has more
OF honest lame than shedding seas Of gore"
That man of all men ever endeavored to
impress it upon the children of all other
men that this earth offered no greater
opportunity for exalted happiness than
charity towards the worlds poor. Deeds
of unselfsh love stay with us forever
There Is no autumn, nor winter age or
death to the happiness that comes to warm
the heart of a good deed done. And there
is no mercy so nearly heaven born as that
extended to the fatherless and the friend
less, no bounty that can be bestowed that
will reach nearer Gods eternal throne.
The widows mite has fed and clothed
millions. Plying tears are sacred
but bread for the crying orphan
and clothing for needy and dependent
little ones exhalts the soul of the
giver. The happiness of benevolence and
the bliss of charity are pleasures which
cost the least and are yet the most easily
won
did charity prevail the press would prove
A vehicle of virtue, truth and love.
There is a home full of little children,
innocent, defenseless babes down here at
1l9 Pennsylvania avenue, who have been
rescued from poverty and distress, from
crime and maybe from death, by some Of
Wichita's noble and unselfish women
These little waits have been cared for and
fed and clothed and nursed month in and
month out, without an appeal for help.
Today is their annual donation day. Last
year the EAGLE made an appeal for this
home of helpless toddlers and the response
was most gratifying as it was generous. SO
you are asked to go and take or send some
thing, if it is ever so little, this morning
to help light up and keep warm the home
of those motherless little ones through the
long, dark hours and cold days and nights
of the coming winter. These are hard
times. We know that But all the greater
is the danger that the inmates in this little
charity home will suffer. Look at your
own comfortable little ones as they sur
round your well supplied breakfast table
this morning, and think how it would be
if YOU were gone and their little heads were
bowed over the scanty crumbs of a charity
home. Then order out your bugges the
first thing this morning and carry
down to No. 11g
avenue Even If your kind
act is overlooked in the great day of reck-
oning you will be better for the act and
die just as rich and just as happy. If you
haven't got any home nor any children
nor any little comfort that you can con- /
tribute, then send little money, a quar- |
ter, dollar, anything that Will pay for so I
much as "A sweet piece of bread and butter. I,
The dearest pleasure Of generous act
Is the great minds great tribe"

EXCURSIONISTS.

Over two hundred excursionists reached
the city yesterday from the east. They
came from nearly all the central and north
eastern states. Possibly more are in from
Ohio than from any other state, and Mr.
Hale Cowley and A :. Nelson have been
at work advertising Kansas in that state
as preparatory work for this excursion.
This is one of the excursions secured by
the immigration bureau, and has brought
possibly more into the state than any
other Quite a number were in from
Michigan, and probably more from that
state reached Sedgwick county yesterday
than from any other. From that state
Lightweight stopped in the county yester-

THE REUNION a AND "a.
Meeting OF General Committee Last Evening
Funds and Provisions and Tents
Provided.

The general reunion committee held a
meeting at the county clerks office last
evening. 1t was the universal regret that
in some way mistake in the date of the
reunion had got out among the papers in
the southwest. The reunion is to be held
oud the q and p, instead of the % and 81;
at some of the papers have it. On this
topic alone the committee has in the
10 st two DAYS received over two hundred
letters The mistake is being corrected as
rapidly as possible and the committee
would extend thanks sincerely to all pa
pers having made the mistake to be kind
enough to make the correction In this
way it is thought the matter can be under
stood by the thousands of comrades in the
southwest.
The committee on program had some
encouraging news and promise more very
soon. Ex-Governor George T. Anthony
wired yesterday that he would arrive on
the q, and be on hand both days II is es-
pecially desired to avoid everything politi-
cal, this policy having been adopted at the
first. An invitation has been extended all
the leading politicians of the state no mat
ter what the politics.

reported all the money raised necessary.
That important part of the work is at
tended to. The committee on entertain
ment is making arrangements for all the
grub and tents that will possibly be
needed for the two days. Every comrade
and his family will be provided with
tent as comfortable as would be expected
Lon Holding reports clever progress, he
having in charge the bull part of the
barbecue. He has the animal chained
down in his neighborhood and has day
and night man to guard him.
An invitation was extended to Company
A, Second regiment, X. n. G., to attend |
the reunion; to go in camp on the grounds. |
1t is thought there is no doubt but that
the invitation will be accepted

ing pressed for space and is locating the |
vendors as convenient as possible.
