Another Secret society OF Farmers IN
Southwestern Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan 21-It is under
stood here that an auxiliary to the Farm
ers' Alliance has been organized in
southwestern Kansas, the object of
which is mutual protection from loan
and investment companies.
There has been growing inclination
to have something done among Alliance
members to prevent the foreclosure Of
mortgages and subsequent sale of farms
on account of nOn-payment OF interest,
and this feeling has become so intense
that it has at last resulted in the forma-
ton Of this organization, the members of
which are bound by oath to go to the as
sistance of any member who is i'll danger
of losing his property through the action
of parties holding mortgages.
Already this movement has extended
over the entire southwestern part Of the
state, and the members have twice sig
nalized their readiness to aid distressed
brother A case in point has occurred
in Kingston county when an eviction
was made of James c. Dooley, who had
mOrtgaged his farm. and, owing to the
failure of crops, had not been able to
pay his interest for the last two years.
His farm was sold and bought in the in
vestment company, who proceeded to
put a renter on the place.
The Dooley family was turned out.
The eviction was not interfered with,
but as soon as the sheriff went away the
renter received a note telling him that it
would not be safe in the house that
night. The renter left Within an hour
Dooley and his family were back i'll their
old quarters. Several Alliance members

COLORED PEOPLE DUPED.
Gross Swindle Perpetrstod by the Agent
of an Emigration Society.

of an Emigration Society.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-A dispatch
from Atlanta, Ga, the other day con-
veyed the information that number of
ignorant co,ored people from the west
and south had arrived there with the in
tention of proceeding to the seaboard
and embarlling fOr Africa, The Post says
that the men who have led these people
to flock to Atlanta were colored emigrant
agents who went through various south
ern states and made them believe that
by the payment Of 81 and the sending Of
a two-cent stamp they would receive "
ticket which would be good for their
transportation to the seabOard at Charles
ton or Savannah for the sea passage to
Africa and for a tract of land in that
country.
This scheme, it appears, originated in
Washington, and its headquarters are
now here, the company pushing it being
organized in April, 1884 under the head
of THE United States and Congo Ma
tional Emigration society," It's officers
were all colored men, T. l.. Green being
general manager. The capital stock is
50 ,000 900. Mr.. Green says the trouble
at Atlanta and the coming of the col
ored people there to go to Africa was
due to Misrepresentation made by Rev.
Thomas l.. Peak. the agent for Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee.

How TO WRITE A LETTER.-Wrlte
the date distinctly, the day of the
month and the year-not just the day
of the week.
Write on plain, unlined paper.
Write your CO.'S" and ''y's'' differ
entity, their tails turned in opposite
directions.
Write your ats" with a cross and
your dps" with a dot.
Write with black ink-pale or faded
ink has broken off more friendships
and love affairs that one would imag-
inc.
Write your name distinctly. If you
are married woman sign it, for ex-
ample, ''Virginia Andrews" exactly
as if you were not married; but if it is
a business letter, the Mrs. should be
put in parenthesis before your name;
or, better still, the letter may be writ
ten in third person. The same rule
applies to an unmarried woman.
Write a short, crisp letter; a CON
centration of brightness. 1t will be
much more appreciated than one long
er drawn out.
Write as little as possible on the
subject of love- Words of love are
much better said than written.
Write yourself down bright, sensi-
BILE girl, and you will then have writ
ten the very best letter that girl car
possibly write.

THE ART OF LEA WING.

Do cultivate the art of leaving
promptly. Even if you can't do it in
an artistic way, learn to do it some
how.
Some people seem to be anchored
in the parlor when they pay a call.
To the flight of time and the near ap-
proach of her hostess dinner hour
this sort of caller pays no attention.
Frequently she says, Oh; [ must go,
gets up, sits down again, and goes on
talking. Presently she again says
that she must go, gets up and contin-
ues to talk She gets into the hall at
length and talks there. Finally the
anxious visitor, hears the baby crying
up stairs, gets the door open for her
guest, who makes a supplementary call
upon the doorstep, exposing the other
to pneumonia. At last she descends
the steps, and the hostess precipi-
lately retreats and shuts the door, for
fear she will think of something else
to come back to say.
The writer once heard of a woman
who, considerably chagrined at the
announcement of visitor whom she
knew had these powers just as she
was preparing to keep an important
engagement, decided to go into the
parlor with her bonnet on and explain
her hurry. She even arranged with
her husband to come into the room
and ''remind'' her at the end of a
quarter of an hour.
The guest did not take the hint from
the bonnet beyond saying that she
would only stay a few minutes, but
when the reminder came she exclaim-
ed, Oh, then l must go, of course
stood up and remained talking sever
al minutes more, walked to the door
and stopped again. At last Mrs. r
in desperation, suggested that they
should walk along together as far al
they could. The visitor agreed, bu
even at the corner where they parted
she stood talking long enough for Mrs
r. to lose her train and her appoint
ment
Shy and nervous young people have
the hardest time in leaving, and arr
more to be pitied than blamed Thei
suffering is often great. They ar,
impressed with the idea that the how
is of more consequence than the what
and they keep trying and trying t.
lead the conversation into what the,
think will be a graceful depar

than any one else can. They watch 70

Still it is not always the callers faul
that she does not go. Sometimes it

the hostess who is the fluent person,
who ends every sentence with rising
infection, indicating that it is only
suspended and that she is going right
on. In such a case it may appear to
the caller as if it would be rude to in
terrupt her, though she may have
heard the muf1ed tiptoeing of the
rest of the family past the parlor door
and the subdued clatter of china from
somewhere, and have a painful sus-
picion that dinner or tea is ready and
they don't want to ring the bell.
But there is one golden rule at least
that the caller may stick to. When
you once get up to go never sit down
again.

Is the press immaculate? By no
means. Do all connected with it APP
preciate the grave responsibilities
which their limitless facilities for
reaching the public should impose up
on them? Again the answer must be
no. Have public men no reasonable
grounds of complaint? Undoubtedly
they have.-But the sweeping judg-
ment which too many of them pass
upon the Representatives of the press
as body has in it the same elements
of unfairness and injustice as exist i'll
in the wide opinion that public men as
a class are corrupt. With the latter
the exact opposite is true. AS class
they are honest. So with journalists;
as class they are careful and consci-
entious.
The erroneous judgments of public
men and of members of the press
spring from the same cause; name
ly, visiting the shortcomings Of
the few upon the many. In the one
case the fact that party men as rule
unite to shield those detected il
wrong creates a general opinion thai
the class is corrupt. In the other the
fact that there is too much tolera
ton by the press of its hbelers anC
sensation gives excuse
to public men for their sweeping
charges In word, the most effect

successfully with all others; it shoult
be abundantly able to crush these.

OF FEMININE INTEREST.

The Bishop of Chester, England, has
told a school of girls that if they only
became s'good, plain cooks" he be-
ieved they might do almost as much
good to the community at large as II
they became senior wranglers or SEN
ior classics.
There are not very many cases like
that of the young man who antlclpat-
ed an engagement of at least year
and was paralyzed when he asked
when the happy day should be to have
his chosen one reply that she "could
not possibly get. her clothes ready in
less than a month"
Marriage by proxy is an old story,
but marriage by photograph is quite
the newest wrinkle. 1t seems that
the wedding day was set and all prep
arations made when the bridegroom
became too i'll to leave his house. His
fiancee insisted on having the we'd
ding in the church, and proposed that
he talk the answers to the service into
a monograph, and that it then be let
loose in the church at the proper times.
The young man said that he would be
hanged if he was going to allow his
voice to be married separate from the
rest of him.
Now that weddings are getting nu-
merous the question of their etiquette
comes up. There is one little cere-
mony, for instance, that is very much
neglected now, though still maintain
ed by a few. 1t is for the bride elect
to leave her card in person at the door
of ladies invited by her bridegroom
that is to be, or his family before the
wedding ceremony takes place. There
are some ladies who will not go into
strange house where they do not know
host or hostess and wade through
crowd, waiting perhaps half an hour
before being introduced to the bride
for the first time.
Americas great men have evident
~ not agreed with Tony Weller, "Be-
ware of the viders.'' In the Revolu-
tionary epoch Patrick Henry, George
WASHINGTON and Thomas Jefferson
married widows and lived happily
ever after 1t was the crossing of love
for a widowed cousin that made Ran
dolph of Roanoke the mad nissan
thrope he was. Lion hearted "Old
Hickory too, married a widow
by grace of law instead of by act of
God. He was her passionate lover to
the time Of death, and never forgaVe
or left unavenged a slight of insult Of
fered to her Aaron Burr's venture
with Nine Jumel- sometime Betsey
Brown-wi1 at once recur to every
body. Indeed, since the time of Gle
opatra, if not even earlier, the widow
has been recognized as potent emo
tional factor in the worlds affairs.

A parrot belonging to a clergyman
was generally taken out of the room
when the family assembled for
prayers, for fear he might take it
into his head to join irreverently in
the responses. One evening, however,
his presence happened to be unnoticed
and he was entirely forgotten. For
some time he maintained decorous
silence, but atlength, instead Of Amen
out he came with Cheer boys, cheer!
On this the butler was directed to re-
move him, and had got as far as the
door with him when the bird perhaps
thinking he had committed himself
and had better apologize called out,
