An Eastside Romance,

young man who is noted for winning
voice but not very good looks accompanied
a young lady from church last night to the
Eastside and fingered little while at the
gate to have a lovers tete-a-tete with his
fair companion. There was no one near
to intrude, and, above all, he lovedl Why
shouldn't she kiss him2
With maidenly modesty she refused. He
implored. She still withheld gfrom him
that which would fill his cup ofhappiness.
The request was repeated several times,
and SO engrossed did the young man be-
come in Wooing he failed to notice the ap-
proach of parental step.
The old gentleman, who had been there
himself, and did not care to intrude upon
the happiness Of the young couple quietly
stepped behind convenient rosebush.
waited, thinking the young man would
soon leave. In this he was mistaken. The
lover tarried over the request until the pa
tience of the old gentleman was exhausted
voice the couple well knew aroused
them from their happiness in tone OF i'm
patient anger by saying:
Daughter, kiss the young idiot and let
him go home, !" and George lit out.

Chicago News: 1t was Thaddeus Ste
yens who once, when an appropriation
bill for an exhibit in some foreign exposi-
ton was before Congress, said the best
thing Americans could do would be to
equip and send to Europe a party of old
NEGRO mammiesn with a cargo of corn
meal to teach the people Of Europe how
to make hoecake and corn bread. Stevens
has been dead for many years, but the
European has not learned how to make
hoecake and cornbread. Indeed, the poor
est people in the old country look with de-
testation on American "maize" and its
food products. They regard it as food for
animals and imagine that it is unfit for any
other purpose than the feeding of live
stock. But now, with famine staring them
in the face, there is likely to be more atten-
ton paid to American maize. Without
wheat, without rye, without even potatoes,
nothing is left available at a low price, but
corn. With the admission of American
pork into Germany and the prospect Of the
utilization of corn for human food as it is
used in America there will be presented the
spectacle Of the hungry poor Of Europe sat
isfying themselYe on ''hog and hominy' in
a genuine Yankee fashion,"

HANK NEPOTISM.

Nepotism which fourishes in both Of the
great political parties of the country, it
appears has an aggravated form of the dis
ease, among the United States district
judges, place where it would be the least
expected. It is the custom in these courts
for the judge, who is appointed for life to
appoint some relative 10 the clerkship Of
his court. This pays $500 a year In
nine cases of tenthe appointee is the father
or son of the judge. Then there is clerk
of the appellate court to appoint. Not
willing to have the snug sum Of Sc, 800
which also attaches to this office, get out OF
the family, the same relative is appointed
to this office, and his salary by this ar
rangement is increased to $1,000. 1t not
infrequently happens that United States
commissioner is needed, and this is added
to the list, so that often the individual
holding the three offices has an income
aggregating well up to $4,000 a year
Sometimes these accounts are sent in to
the comptroller Of the treasury with extra
allowances attached, and in such cases
they are turned down. In the majority Of
cases, however, the men are duly appointed
by the judges and sworn in, and the comp
troller has no discretion in the matter.
Comptroller Matthews says ''there are
about fifty of these courts in the country
with not more than fifty men acting as
clerks" The country is full Of worthy
men who would be glad to act as clerk OF
the other courts, and the spirit of the law
intends that 15O men shall be employed in.
stead Of So This arrangement presents the
most aggravated case of nepotism that can
be found anywhere in the country, and a
blinking at the violation Of the law by the
very men who are put in power to enforce
the law. 1t almost makes a man have a
supreme contempt for law and judges.

The Prairie Farmer.

The old reliable agricultural journal,
Tile Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, comes
out with its initial number for 1891 in a
handsome new dress, and is indeed an
elegant paper, filled with the soundest and
mostpractical information for all interes-
ted in agriculture in its many depart
ments. The present editorial organiza-
ton of Tile Pyaiyfe Farmer is most COM
plete and thorough, and the journal en-
tiers its 51st year better equipped than
ever. Writers who are well known auth
critics are its regular contributors, and
their articles are accompanied by illustra-
tions and engravings, to assist the reader
to the fullest understanding of the SUBJ
ject treated.
The Prairie Farmer is a model home
paper, alike useful to the farmer, the vii
lager, and the city man, furnishing de-
lightful reading for all who love and ap-
preciate agriculture. The ladies and
children are not forgotten, for its depart
ments of Household, Garden and Lawn.
Young Folks, Poetry, Puzzles and Mis-
cellany are unsurpassed.
The publishers will send sample copy
to every applicant, and it is worth while
to drop them postal for a specimen, or

ROME OF THAT

The New York Tribune threatens
the eight Independent Republicans
senators who voted to lay the cleo
ton bills aside. 1t says the Repub-
lican members of the House may
look with great disfavor upon any
and all bills which these senators
wish to see passed." This includes
the free silver coinage bill. The
country wants to see no such re-
venge as that. To strangle the sill
yer bill would be about as grave a
mistake as was the killing Of the
election bill. If this should be done
the people would find it necessary
to cut short the career of some of
the budding statesmen who take a
hand in it.
The senators who showed the
white feather in the matter of the
elections bill richly deserve punish
ment but the members of the House
must not punish the whole people
in order to get at them.-LeaUen-

from top to bottom. He carries
very large stock. In addition to his
store he owns and operates the
creamery, lumber yard and coal
yard. He is also a stakeholder in
the First National Bank and one of
its directors. No better evidence of
Mr.. Verbeck's business qualifications
can be found than in the statement
that he commenced here in very
modest way and by good bus
mess methods has accum-
ulated a snug fortune. Mr..
Verbeck has always kept out of
politics and has attended strictly to
business, to which, in a measure,
we think, may be attributed his sue
cess. He has been closely pursued,
by various offices, at different times,
but invariably declined with thanks.
Mr.. Verbeck has the finest residence
in Wa-Keeney or in Trego county
for that matter, and is certainly

word has ever been uttered against
his absolute honesty and integrity
in business, and he stands high in

recent citizen, he purchased the
stock and good will Of MIR. Caddick
little more than a year ago, and
at once stepped into a lucrative trade,
which he has steadily increased,
until but few merchants in western
Kansas enjoy a more profitable
business. Mr.. Schultz is a liberal
advertiser, good buyer, and sells
for moderate profit; these COM
bined with the confidence that all
have in his integrity, and his
straight forward manner of dealing
with the public, has secured for him
a class of patrons that it would be
very difficult to ALLEVIATE or divert

stock of general merchandise and
carries a large stock.
MARSHALL & UFFoRD.

caused largely by always literally
advertising their goods and prices
and then adhering to them. There
is not a firm west of Topeka
that will discount this firm on prices.
