A rich man of Boston has one son. He
led him about, he instructed him, he kept
him as the apple of his eye. The son be-
came of age this summer. The Father
has no other occupation save that of
nursing his income and az he is a man of
sense and liberal views he told his son
that he must not stand idle, yet left to
him the choice of business or profession.
At the same time he wrote privately to
twenty-four friends and acquaintances
asking their advice in the matter. The
twenty-four were prominent, each in his
own calling. And each replied IN turn,
complaining of his own business. and
advising the father to send elsewhere for
the future prosperity OF the young man.
The law was crowded, journalism
brought but little money, banking WIS
an uncertain crop, aud so on throughout
the catalogue. The father is still un-
decided, the boy is idle. And all because
no one Of the twenty -four is contented
with his lot, while he admires the for
tunes OF other men.

Deputy sheriff, Grant Marshall, in
the absence of Sheriff Courtney, was
called to the eastern part of the county,
last Tuesday, on telegram, to arrest a
man charged with stealing team in
Mcpherson county. The alleged thiefs
name was Frank Cludas and he was stop
ping with sister in Glencoe township.
By some means he received word of his
contemplated arrest and when the sheriff,
with posse, arrived at the house, Cludas
had few hundred yards the start. A
diligent search was made but be was not
captured. A team and buggy, which he
had with him at his sisters was taken
by the officer and brought back to Wa
Keeney to await the owner This was
not the same team stolen in McPhers on
county, but was doubtless stolen also, or
traded for the stolen team.
