GERMAN DAY.
The Crowds Have Gone and the
City Is Quiet

German Day for 1891 is over and now a
thing of the past, with its triumphS
beautiful parades, its pleasures, and many
veXatiOnS and mistakes.
The parade last night ended it. The
great crowds were on the streets early
and staid late. The procession only en-
braced the official floats. There was no
drawback.
The affair has been a success, and even
financially there is no deficit, though the
receipts will not cover the expenses. The
association has enough property to ably
handle itself.

A PkODIGAL.

Last night, stretched out on one OF the
hard benches of the police station. was a
boy of 10 or IL years of age, sleeping the
peaceful sleep of youth. Although he did
not show it in fitful slumber, the little fell
low had his troubles. He had ran away
from his home at Hutchinson some time
ago and was now making his way back as
best he could. He did not find the out
side world as bright and glittering as he
had expected when he set out, without
bidding adieu to any of the home folks. to
see 1t. He had found the world even more
chilly than it is represented to be, and
during one of the 'snow storms" of the
winter of his adversely his hitherto stead
fast resolution gave way and he turned
his weary little footsteps homeward. He
was picked up at one of the depots by OFF,
Ger Harmon yesterday evening, having
come in on one of the afternoon trains. He
told the officer that he had been as far as
Kansas City. His father was in the city
Thursday looking for him, but at that
time the boy was not here The father
was notified last night, and it is supposed
will be down TODAY to get him.

JUST FROH OVER THE SEA.

A little woman who looked to be barely
Is years old, carrying child in her arms,
stepped off a train at the Union depot late
yesterday afternoon. She was German,
just from the fatherland, and could not
speak word of English. No one was at
the depot to meet her. so she was naturally
very much nonplused as to what to do to
find the man she was looking for. A
policeman, noticing her embarrassment.
directed her to wait in the depot until he
could find some one who could speak her
language. Another German lady who was
waiting for train was secured as inter
prefer, and it was learned that the little
woman was looking for man named Fred
Wills. He was finally located as living
near the stock yards, and in company with
the woman who had done the interpreting
the newly arrived boarded North Topeka
avenue car.
1t was not learned definitely whether
they found Wills or not, but it is supposed
they did, as nothing further has been heard
of them. The woman was questioned as
to her name, but made an evasive reply.

The story of n Little Boy Who Loved

Johnny Green was the son Of a poor
widow whose husband went ont To feed the
hogs one evening, and never returned 10
the bosom of his dear family. IL was sup
posed by some that he was abducted and
held for ransom, and by others that be was
devoured by cow, but whichever way i.

And then she was consoled and comfort

said how glad she was that he had been
spared TO her. One day little Johnny found
his mother weeping II her heart would
break, and when he demanded the cause she
confessed that 5000 interest was due on the

A GREAT GUEST.

Ihere is poor family in the city. The
mother Is sparely built, finely featured
creature, the father a day laborer and the
remainder half-dozen tow headed chill
dren OF either sex. They live in a small
frame shanty set on the ground, and the
mother takes in washing as help to the
necessary sustenance of the brood. They
nave history. Years ago in the east the
mother was wilful girl, and against a
rich fathers desire eloped with the man
who is now her husband. Since, her father
does not recognize her and she is forced to
the expediency of calloused hands and a
| sweated brow.
One day this week, a brother of the
mothers struck town and hunted
for his sister. After some trouble
he found her in the obscurity of
poverty. They had not seen each other
for seventeen years. What were the
brothers thoughts when he saw his sister,
once petted and dressed, in the present
straltI But, however that may be- he
took IN the situation Immediately. The
fare was sparse. He went down town and
soon had the house OVERLOOKING with gro
ceres and the most toothsome supplies.
He saw his sister in coarse, awkward fab
ric. He brought a new dress, forthwith.
He bought the children new suits. new
shoes and new shirts. He substituted the
old SLOUGH caps with brand new shining
straws. He furnished the house with new
and more comfortable chairs. In short, he
made himself perfect object of delight in
the households eyes and intensified the
glory of the spring sunbeams, in one fam
ily's opinion, at least. The brother has
gone now, but he has left the memory of
his visit behind

FREE FUN.

Sam Winch says he has number of
regular customers who patronize him by
coming around every week to look at the
cartoons in Puck and Judge, which he
hangs in the window. He says they know
just what day the papers are due, and if
they fail to make their appearance in the
window they will come in and ask about
them. If he tells them the papers haven't
come they will say that it is strange and
that they wished to buy one. But when
the papers do come, these fellows are the
first at the window and, after enjoying
good laugh, go away, jingling their pocket
change with great satisfaction. Mr..
Winch says he sometimes overlooks the
fact that his papers are late until some
one of his window customers informs him.

IN DEFENSE OF HIRED GIRLS

are sensible girls of willing minds and of
independence enough to work s1eered att
Why not give due credit to US who hon
orable though humble factors in COM
munity, as much as to those who with
folded hands idle in easy chairs or trapse
the streets. Does any one of brains or
character think these butterflies of more
Importance In the struggle Of life than are
we poor, hard-working kitchen and din
ing-room girls? Why is store or shop
more desirable for girl. will some one
please answers Is one kind Of labor more
degrading than the other? do not see
why it is. Maybe it is that my brain is
different. 1t is enough to drive a poor
girl into forbidden paths the knowledge
that fine clothes count for more than true
character. We have to work by
the week for the sum OF moth
ing beyond q livelihood, with no
pleasures and but little chance to enjoy
the fresh air so tired are we when the
time for it comes Are people not just as
beholding to rs who do their work as we
are to them for their pittiful pay. They
even withhold from Us proper degree of
respect and consideration. Is il lack of
sense or Of principle. a want of breeding or
what, Do they dare open their mouths to
make answer. This is a land of freemen
AID ought to be one OF hearts Thou
shalt love no other God but me-" they
seem to think is money. and OF more i'm
portance than OF observing the Sabbath,
though none of them would think Of miss

Still they cheat US poor girls out Of q
