A PICTURE OF INNOCENCE AND TRUST

BE purity of life the test,
Leave TO the heart, to heaven, the rest
Few can witness the first step taken by
innocent children in identifying them
selves with the church without being SEN
sibly touched. It is picture of white
robed innocence pledging itself to its own
for its own. There can be no sin compre-
hended within themselves. but the angel
in the mortal reaches trustingly out 70 the
Infinite. Perfect and guileless as the lives
of such as these may have been, there IS
that within which prompts the effort and
assures recompense. The faith that war
rants the child in accepting the religion or
parent or friend is not begotten OF the
travail of repentance for deep-dyed sin,
nor of even the imagined depravitv OF the
pair in the garden-the cowardice Of the
masculine half of which more than offset
the flirting propensities of the mother ana
type of all women, but comes with the
purity OF the dew drop distilled
in the warm-colored heart of
the rose and comes as full OF
fragrance At the close Of Sunday morn
ing's Unitarian services at Princess hall,
Mrs. L. S. Carter's Sunday school class, con-
sisting of thirteen little girls, ranging from
the mite of a miss to the fuller and rounder
bud of maidenhood, all dressed III white,
together with four bright boys of Mrs.
Hulburt's class, presented themselves for
membership. The ceremony was exceed
ingly pretty in its suggestiveness, no re-
ouirements being made above the compre-
hension of the youngest of the class. The
simplicity of the preliminary address of
Rev Eugene r. Shipper to this youthful
| band was only surpassed by the truthful
beauty of its lesson. The occasion was
particularly full of the JOY of reward for
the faithful, hopeful Mrs. Carter, whom
everybod in the city loves and respects.
| These lambs of the flock had been her
special care and hope They had neither
! been garnered as wheat nor plucked as
| flowers, but came as the sweet result OF I'M
! selfish love and solicitude that was only a
pleasure To each she gave book OF
! poems and daily lessons, bound in white,
| inscribed with name and date, and con-
tanning each white ribbon book mark,
daintily hand painted with floral designs.
To each also was handed, by Mr.. Shipper,
"a bouquet with an appropriate word touch
| ing the kindness of God, and these en-
! blems of all that is beautiful and pure.
Moist eyes grew moister still, as song
was sung, the benediction pronounced, and
the hall filled with pleasantly murmQring
social converse, as with grateful incense
which impressed the heart scarcely less
than did the lesson and the picture Of
| trusting innocence which marked the
| hours simple ceremony.

For the Eagle.
TO THE PEESLESS PRINCESS,

Wichita, thou Peerless Princess,
have seen thee in thy PRIDE
Seen thee dressed in gala colors.
As became waiting bride;
1 have seen thy waving forests.
And thy buildings tow'ring high;
Felt thy welcome in the breezes.
Saw thy smile in ev'ry eye.
Ihave viewed thy stately churches,
Where thy people meet 10 pray;
Ihave seen thy wheels Of commerce
Driving all the busy day;
Ihave heard tho great heart-throbb!ns
OF the engines in thy breast
Wichita, thou Peerless Princess,
Matchiess city of the west
There sought thy fields of learning.
Sought to see thy noblest men;
To climb the eyre of the EAGLE
Beard the bird right there and then;
But the height but made me dizzy,
And the EAGLE screamed so shriil,
That sought old terra frlna
There TO wander at my VIII.
Wichita, thou queen so potent,
Potent, aye, for III or good,
May thou WELD thy mighty scepter
Building up man s brotherhood.
May thy noble SONS and daughters
Rear thy standard up SO high.
Though their feet may touch thy borders.
That their glory reach the sky.
May thy highways ring with gladness;
Filled thine air with happiest song:
May thy joyous youth and maidens
Live within thy precin cts long.
Thou didst welcome US, stranger
Welcomed US. an honored guest
Wichita, thou queen Of Kansas
Peerless Princess or the west.

4 CAR LOAD.

Yesterday Dickcy & McAllister received
q car load of straw berrieS from Arkansas.
They say this is the first refrigerator car
of strawberries ever received in Wichita.
The car was full aid held six hundred
crates. The berries are in fine condition.
Some idea of how large an amount SIX
hundred crates is can be had from the
statement that the boxes OF Strawberries
in this car put end to end in string
,ro,}d reach out over n mile and half.
AS this is only one firms shipments some
convention of what Wichita is doing IN the
fr,liu line can be realized.

A Gable to Honolulu.

Messrs. G. W. McNear, j. F. Chap
man and John d. Spreckels, the
committee of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce to whom the
project of a cable to Honolulu and
New Zealand was referred, made q
report in which they say:
We deem the interests of the United
States and its merchants are paramount
to the interests of all others in the Ha-
waiian Islands.
The citizens of that kingdom recognize
the fact, and naturally look to the
United Estates for aid in giving them
cable communication with our continent,
thereby facilitating its commerce and
trade and securing larger share of the
same for this country.
Cable communication with the Pacific
islands would be of great benefit to our
nation, enabling us to communicate with
its navy feet stationed in the Pacific.
We think such cable facilities should
be under the control of the United States
Government.
Preliminary to securing the desired
cable, we recommend that the Congress
of the United States be asked to furnish
definite surveys and soundiEgs and such
other aid as may be necessary. We
have prepared the following resolution.
A resolution covering those points
and appended to the report was car
ried unanimously s. F. Call.

From Rome comes news that
prominent Italian adherents of the
holy see are much dissatisfied with
the recent wholesale dismissal by the
pope of Italian servants at the Vati-
can, and that his holiness has re-
ceived hint that it would be for his
interest to dismiss the foreigners
who have been engaged in the places
of the dismissed Italians. The mo-
tive for dismissal was said to be that
it had came to the knowledge of the
pope that the Italian government
had several spies among the servants
in the Vatican.
