TOO LITTLE REST.

Emily Huntington. in the Home Magazine.
The most precious thing in the house
hold is the mother. She is worth in
tinitely more to her children as mother,
councillor, a close personal friend, a
genial companion, sympathetic teacher,
wise and watchful guardian, than she
can possibly be as seamtress or caterer.
Let her be slow to waste herself on
duties that are not supreme, or lose the
preclousness of her homo life by making
herself slave to what is not essential
Here is a piece of work she can do, but
some beautiful purpose that might
elevate her own and her children's lives
could be accomplished in the same time
and must be set aside for it. What are
her woman's wit and ingenuity for if
they cannot hely her to some device by
which she can accomplish the double
good of saving herself and putting the
work and the money into some other
wOman's hands!
No, we do not use so much Jelly"
SAID a woman in answer to her neighbor s
question, "but like to make it, and do
not like to sew, so | make a quantity to
sell, and give my sewing to Mrs. C..
/ can earn enough in day to keep her at
work week, and 1t leaves me so much
leisure for reading and other things that
] never felt that could afford the time
for.
Our women have too little rest, too
little actual leisure; they are always I'M
der pressure of duties, and they do not
stop to consider whether it might not be
wiser to accomplish less and make better
workmanship to drop part OF their I'M
dertakings, and give themselves with
less divided aim to the rest. We do not
even follow the teachings Of our best
judgment in these matters. Other peO-
pie decide upon our duties and plan our
work for us and we submit. We rebel,
perhaps, and protest more or less vigor-
Ously; but in the end we submit and take
up the work somebody thinks we ought
to do, or add to our burdens this one
thing more, which somebody sees we are
clearly ordained to carry. And so,
harassed and hurried. and pulled hither
and thither, we get through life in the
condition of the poor old soul to whom
heaven looked most attractive as place
where she was going to do nothing for
ever and ever"

OUR EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.


The educational interest is one of the
very first Importance in this country
at this time. This proposition Is so self
evident and the reasons so patent that
they need not be argued. This point be-
ing conceded the next one of interest is
the proper administration of our educa-
tional system so that the best results may
be had. Applying this locality to Sedg-
wick county, it is admitted by ali that
the present management of our public
schools has been entirely successful. the
course of instruction and the advance
ment made by the pupils being alto
gether satisfactory. 1t Is not fulsome-
ness to say that Prof. Pence, the county
superintendent of public instruction, has
been a model officer.
The schools of the county have never
done better work in every way than I'M
der his control and management. This
is but a natural sequence, however. for
a man who has the native genius for a
special line of work and to this adds an
intelligent and ceaSeleSs endeavor 20 ex-
Gel cannot but make a success OF such
chosen life work.
Prof. d. ). Pence Is essentially an edu-
Gator and in whatever sphere in that
great work he may be engaged success
is sure to attend his efforts. In view of
all the facts we have briefly set forth.
supplemented by the additional ad-
vantage Of experience and intimate
acquaintance with the very important
and responsible position he occupies, a
proper regard for the best interests of
our county common schools would seem
10 be sufficient to impel the voters of
the county without regard TO party
utilization To give Prof. Pence n unani-
nous reelection TO the Office of county
superintendent of public instruction.

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE.

The total corn crop for each Of the
past eleven years shows the astonishing
feature that the total farm value of a
crop is not reduced by reduction of
the yield, but, on the contrary, the ag-
gregate value is greater than when the
WELD is exec sive. The corn crop Of
1881 was the smallest that had been pro-
duced in this country since 1874, but It's
hore value was greater than any crop Of
the past decade, with the single excep-
ton of the year following, when prices
were still high. On the other hand, last
years crop was the largest ever raised,
yet its farm value was the least of any
crop in the past ten years. This last
probably accounts in part for the largely
increased acreage put to wheat this fall.
BY this plan the farmers have a double
chance at securing a crop from the
ground; if the wheat is failure-and 1t
can be known in time for that-then the
ground can be put to corn.

The FLAG.

The speeches delivered by President
Harrison are models of their kind, saying
Just enough, never too much, and con-
tanning many gems of patriotic elo-
quence. Talking to his old brigade the
other day he made an allusion to ''the
flag" which touches the tender spot in
every citizen:
81 hope there is not a soldier here in
whom the love of the flag has died out
| believe there is not one in whose heart
it is not a growing passion. | think a
great deal of the interest in the flag we
see among children, because you have
taught them what that flag means. No
one knows how beautiful it is when We
see it displayed here on this quiet Octo-
Der day. amid these quiet autumnal
scenes. In those long. tiresome marches,
in those hours of smoke, and battle, and
darkness, what was there that was beau
tiful except the starry banner that floated
over US.
The flag! What is it? No person knows
what it represents better than the Old
soldier. and it is one of the hopeful signs
Of the times, as indicating a purer
growth and revival of the true spirit Of
AmericaniSm, that the flag is given more
and more its proper place among those
things which inspire love of country. 1t
Is the spirit of such words as President
Harrson's that has broken out in the
movement to ''fiing the starry banner
out from the roofs Of the public school
buildings of the United states.

JERE SIMPSON on REsUBMIssIoN.

There has been considerable specula-
ton as to how Jere stands on the ques-
ton of Resubmission. 1t was known
that he was a Prohibitionist and perse-
cutor and prosecutor of jointists at Med
icine Lodge. The other day, in refer
ring to Wichita and the attitude of her
people on the question of Resubmission,
Jere said: mo good can ever come out
of Wichita" Again, in his speech dellv-
cred at Larned, and a stenographic copy
of which lies before us, in speaking of
the Republican party, he INDUCED in the
following language, in which it will be
seen he defined his Resubmission views:
Lets look at this party that is in
power! What are they doing: They
are building warehouses wherein the
man who distills whisky can put his
whisky They don't ask him to pay
taxes on it. They issue him warehouse
receipts going into partnership with the
whisky dealer! Here is an argument
that can be used by the Resubmission-
lists. / am not a Resubmissionist! They
can say to the farmer that the only way
to get your grain into a government
warehouse is TO distill it into whisky!'

ANTHONY BOLTS.

The Leavenworth Times has bolted the
nomination of Humphrey, taken his
name from the head of the ticket and Is
now demanding that the central COM
mittee name some man that would prove
acceptable to Col. Dan Anthony. We
would suggest that of the Colonels him
self. In the mean time we again for the
thousandth time call the attention of the
Republican party of Kansas to the fact
that the police commission law, being
un-American, will never bring the party
anything but trouble.
The Leavenworth Times put up the
state ticket at the head of its columns
Sunday only that it might the more con-
spicuously leave the name Of Humphrey
out. Oh, Colonel!

FOREIGN WHEAT CROPS.

From the London Standard
1t is expected that the forthcoming
official estimate of the French wheat crop
will be higher than any outside reckon
ing. but the report that it will be more
than 1000, 600 quarters in excess Of last
years fine crop Is altogether incredible.
The Italian crop is officially reckoned at
15.375.OOO quarters, as compared with
1850, 600 quarters given as the preiimin-
airy estimate for last year, and with A.
454, 900 quarters in 1897, when the yield
was above average. The results Of early
threshing in Austria-Hungary and Ger
many appeared to be generally satisfac-
tory, as far as wheat Is concerned; but
the rye crop, which counts as the equiva-
lent of wheat to a great extent on the
continent, Is short.

From our exchanges and from parties
who have recently been over a consider
able portion Of the state, particularly the
southwest, we learn that the prospect
could hardly be better at tn time for
the largest wheat crop next year the state
ever produced. The acreage put to that
crop is fully one-third larger than it ever
was, and most of it is sufficiently ad-
vanced in growth to completely cover
the ground, and the glarious rain Of Sun
day, which seems to have been quite
general, was like a benediction. The
