Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-01-05

'Tis nearly nineteen hundred years
Since Judean shepherds heard
Peal from the solemn, star-lit sky
The one supreme, long. g.needed word
Needed as sadly now as then:
Peace and good will on earth to men,"
Alas! they caught no chord that hymn In
or peace on earth, good will TO women.
Down the stern centuries since that night
The angel prophecy has thrilled,
Aye, echoing through the upper air,
On earth It still is unful6lled.
Men hear the song, strife does not cease;
Never will come the age of peace
Until the carol with new vim In
Brings peace OH earth, good will to women.
The potentates of Christendom
Preach peaceito-day with Gatling-guns;
Statesmen, to spread good will on earth,
Make cannon-food Of mothers sons;
Yet, oven In the hot battles breath,
The Red Cross soothes the pangs Of death,
While eyes the light Of life grows dim In
Pray, Peace on earth, good will 70 women" ="
To man the race, not men the sex,
The message from on high was sent;
These weary centuries Ia vain
Men sought, alone, the Christ's intent.
Now, with new lowered inner ear,
In the angelic strain we hear
A swelling theme, the round worlds rim in !:
peace and good will to men and women.
Prof William Herbert Carru,h in Woman's
journal.

Uncle Sans Partnership with the
Brewers and Masters.

We have before us copy Of tho
Special Consular Report relating to
Malt and Beer in Spanish America.
which contains "repOrts from the con-
suls Of the United States on the trade
in malt and beer in their several dis
tricts, in answer to a circular from
the department Of state," which is
James G. Blaine's department; and
we are under obligations to Mr.. Blaine
for the book The object of this hook
is TO increase the sale Of American beer
in Spanish America. In other words,
The state department Of this govern.
ment is prostituted to serve the ends
of the brewers.
We had heard of this consular re-
port" but thought IL possible that the
stories we read Of it were over
drawn; so we wrote TO Mr.. Blaine,
asking for copy Of the book, which
we received. If any OF our "prohibi-
,iOn-Rcpublican" friends wish to see
il, they can do so by calling al this
office.

LACkNAN'S LITTLE JOKE.
He 10 a Bookmaker and His Humor Cost HI,
$1,000.


$1,000.
From the Boston Globe.
There is a bookmaker down at Sheepshead
Bay named Laekman, who has a very fine vein
of natural humor Before the first race Tues
day afternoon Mr.. Lackmsn was standing on
his box. feeling unusually humorous.
The betting had hardly begun when . little
man with red face, who had been wandering
aimlessk down the long line of bookmakers,
stopped in front of Bookmaker Lackman's slate
and stared hard at it.
Mighty long odds against this Kingstock,"
remarked the little man at last. Mr.. Lackman
glanced at his board lazily. kingstock was 50
toll.
THAT amt no so to horse" continued the
little man; that's good, fair horse
Yes, responded Mr.. Lackman, with keen
wit. Il know he Is a remarkably fine animal
That's the reason I'm laying 50 to against
him"
But ought TO know more than You do"
persisted the little man. who evidently had not
vet learned that no human being knows as
win"
We'll. WELL" cried Mr.. Lackman, merrily.
yCu really think that? Here's what I think,
and he rubbed out 80 to l and chalked up
IS TO l.
why don't you make il 100 TO II" said the
little man, getting redder. Mr. Lackman is of
an accommodating disposition and marked up
100 TO /.
Vow. said the little man, pulling out roll
OF money, I'll bet $50 on kingstock" Mr..
Laeknan called TO his sheetwriter: ..S5. 600 10
SJO, anu the little man took the ticket and
walked away. A few minutes later Mr. Lack
man glanced down the line of boards and saw
10 70 tie longest price against Kingstock
When the race was over and Kingtock won
the little red-faced man was the first in line be-
hind Mr.. Lackman's box.
You see, said he. as Mr.. Lackman's cashier
was counting out 5000 to him. Il ought to
know something about that Kingstock horse;
my names Kelly and own him.

The Kaiser and His Clothes.

FROM the Pail Mall Gazette.
There can be no doubt that the bearing and
personality Of the emperor, which are now IA
miliar to thousands Of English people, have
helped in the good impression which no has
made. People who. from what they had heard
and read. were prepared for a rather cock-a
hoop young gentleman have been struck with
the dignity and earnestness of our energetic
guest. With large section of the
public, however: the interest in his
imperial majesty's person seems to be
OF a less critical and more childish order. He
is to them sort of big doll, whom it is the
best fun in the world to go on dressing up and
undressing and redressing again all day. It
would be interesting to know how much time
the kaiser has to spend in the various changes
from uniform to uniform which are reflected 40
faithfully In the reports. In toilette doubtless.
Is in other things. he is by nature rapid
and impetuous. Still. these elaborate costumes
are not quite like the everyday clothes into
which we common mortals are wont to throw
ourselves when in hurry; aud it il safe to nut
an hour or two Of the eight-hour working day
as the very minimum tax which tho emperor Z
clothes make on the emperor's time. An
eighth of his majesty's time consumed in
tailory. Sartor resartus, indesd

note that very few foundation skirts are
made use of for silk stuffs which need no sup
port but for thin woolens it's always better to
make taffeta foundation, as in its absence you
are obliged to wear q silk underskirt
FOR CASINO TOILETS
white foulards are much affected, being either
striped with black satin or Nile green, with q
large pleated founce Of English point, plastron
of the same material dotted with pearl beads,
the costume being set oil by brocaded silk
jacket trimmed with lace, the jacket Of course
being worn only when going OF returning from
the Casino. The ensemble is altogether ultra
stylish and the more SO. naturally, when ami
mated and vivIfied by a carriage OF distinction
and a manner full of refinement.
One sees also many foulards made up in very
taxing styles for Casino toilets; not the ordi-
nary fouiards. however, but those with o satin
fnish-much prettIer. more changeable than
the old styles. But, after all, the true mate
rial for a summer gown is bstiste. They are
made this season in white and
mauve, white and brown, white and pale blue
or white and pink stripes. Or. in more striking
patterns, black and yellow, black and beige,
the light stripe being embroidered with flower
patterns garlandwise.
LOw-crowned sailors, charmingly trimmed
With fruits, have made their appearance this
month-for instance, strawberries and white
and red currants and punches of cherries, so
natural as to make your mouth water.
