man thermometer. As soon a stranger
takes him he puts up his chubby little
hands one on each cheek and looks entently
in his eyes and soon finds a verdict.
If the stranger is fond of children and has
his sympathies aroused by the sight of
them the little fellows countenance fairly
beams in smile that seems to throw a halo
about the room and envelopes one in a
luminous atmosphere. If the verdict is
otherwise he will shrink from the stranger
and if not relinquished Immediately of
course will cry. He is never known to be
mistaken in an individual and the rough
est exterior or the most insinuating smile
can not deceive his strong sympathetic
nature. This may be hard ordeal for d
man, but if he can not stand the test sue
cessfully he had better go and ask the
all merciful God to change his
disposition. In a very short time an en-

A short service is to be put on from the
depots on Douglas to Oak street and Main.
and these cars will run between the time
of the College Hill and Garfield University

busy portions of Main and Douglas.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE GARFIELD HALL.

Miss Flavin will lecture on Sunday eve
ming at the Garfield hall on Father
Damien the Leper Priest" When Father
Damien went TO Molokai the whole world
hailed him as hero. When Sister Rosa
Gertrude followed in his illustrous foot
steps unmeasured praise was also lavished
upon her Miss Katherine Marsden, OF
Boston, has recently taken her life in her
hands and gone to Russia to do what she
can to emeliorate the condition of the
lepers in that country. So much has been
written and said of this dread disease that
it is not strange that an unusual interest
is awakened in the lecture TO be delivered
by Miss Flavin. Her ability as a pleasant
and forcible speaker justities the expecta-
ton of an evening proftably and pleas
antly spent Those desiring good seats
would do well to look after the matter at
once,

HOW TO GET AN OUTING FREE.

There is general complaint amongst
the ladies at the sea side resorts on account
of the scarcity of young men and the hotel
men are afraid their next seasons bust
ness will suffer unless the deficiency is
made good. They have made compact
with some of the ladies and clubs are be-
ing formed to remedy matter before
the season closes. No attempt will be
made to draw the eastern dudes to the re-
sorts but the objects of the clubs is to give
the young men of the west an opportunity
for summers outing free of expense and
a chance to capture an heiress. The hotels
and the ladies between them have
raised a fund which will de
fray all expenses of club members
for month or six weeks. All the require
ments for membership are good moral
character and a good wardrobe. There
will be arrangements made whereby the
members will be known and no imposition
can he practiced on the hotels, and at the
same time not to prove embarrassing to
the young men.
Several years ago the hotels found the
same state of affairs, and as a natural
consequence it was almost impossible to
get any ladies at the sea side resorts the
next ason. This year they propose to
guard against this if possible and at the
same time excite the jealousy of the young
men of the east. All cities of Importance
in the west will have an agent represent
ing the scheme and all application for
membership must be made to him. He
will also furnish all necessary information
to suitable parties. Mr.. H. l.. Pierce,
secretary of the board of trade, will be the
agent at Wichita.

WHAT 1T WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH.

Judge Amos Harris is believer in the
theory of producing rains by artificial or
human agencies. He cited yesterday an
instance of his boyhood experience where,
in an eastern state, at the suggestion of a
man who had been brought up as an In
dian captive, and during time of extreme
drouth, by the farmers firing simultane-
ously the drift accommodations of small
river or creek for the distance of twenty
miles or more, a copious rainfall was pro-
duced, or at least it followed within few
hours after the fires were started. A good
rain ten or twelve days ago would have
been worth to the corn crop of Sedgwick
county million or more dollars. If the
burning or explosion of ten or twenty
thousand dollars worth of powder would
have produced such rain throughout the
county the gain or profit of such expeudi-
ture would have been, as we said, worth a
million or more of dollars.

ANOTHER LITTLE ANGEL HAS JOINED
THE BAND.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Little Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. How
ard Allen, joined Gods angels July q,
1890. These lines are inscribed to the
grief stricken parents and grandparents by
a sympathizing friend
Sweet little Howard has fallen asleep
luiled by the angels in Paradise
There's another bright star in the blue azure deep
Another pure soul flown far DER the skies.
Another white flower is blooming above
All fadeless and perfect. On, little love.
Another sweet face where bright angels are,
Is peeping at mamma behind gold star.
Another little bed is empty tonight.
Unruftied In silence, all purely white.
Another hearts breaking in sorrow so deep.
Dear little Howard has fallen asleep
somebody's claSping a half broken toy,
Mamma Is calling her dear little boy.
IWo little eyes have been closed from the bright
OF earth fleeing beauty and heas MS more bright.
Two little hands are folded for aye,
Two more little wings fly the sky,
Two little feet are lain side by side
In sweet peaceful rest, and papa's own pride,
ttls dear little boy, mas flown 'er the blue,
Where sixties all couGless and hearts are all true
Another little mound in the graveyard today,
A sweet precious boy is now laid away.
LOOK he2venWard- mother pray to your God
w hlle your heart In its sorrowful grief has been
bowed.
Your angel is there now waiting for you.
ISaise y our sad heart beyond yonder blue.
on clasp IN your arms in agony wild
cold, waXen form but God holds your child.
\ on miss at even, nor clash to your heart
His bright little head to lull him to rest,
but think how the angels shining tonight
While dear little Howard is smiling delight.
he foids his angel wings around you to keep
SORROWS away while you are asleep.
GOD sends his comfort TO papa and you while mourn
ing
For yonr dear little angel in heaven

A GREAT TRAVELLER ON WICHITA.

Rev s Sherberne Mathews. formerly
pastor of a Congregational church in
Wichita, called yesterday. Mr.. Mathews
is again making Boston his home, being
a secretary Of one of the benevolent socie-
ties of the Congregational church. He is
now ont on a tour Of inspection of the mis-
sionary schools of New and Old Mexico,
Utah and Arizona, which work will keep
him travelling till late in the fall Mr.
Mathews says that when he stepped from
the train and got fairly onto Douglas ave-
nue. the old conviction came back to him
that here is the air, the spirit, the life of
coming great city He says in all his
travels and he Travelled 100000 miles last
year, he finds few places of the promi
hence of Wichita. Whatever may be said
ofspeculative properties within her bound
aries. the brick and the mortar, the people
and the business are here, and all of the
character of the genuine center and me
tropolis. Men in various sections of the
country who have never been in Wichita,
or who have made up in their minds
gloomy picture of her status from reading
outside lies and criticisms, have only To
come and see her to be convinced that she
was never so solid and substantial as she
is today. However prejudiced he may be,
no man with an eye for business can spend
a week or day in Wichita and fail of being
convinced that touching her future there
can be no question.
