TOPEKA MAN TANKS Up.

The Topeka Democrat publishes n
pathetic tale of an ex-city marshal OF that
town coming down to Wichita and getting
on a big drunk The ex-marshal reports
that he was around taking in the empty
five-story buildings. when becoming thirsty
he took drink of Wichita water which
gave him the cramps. and he was forced
to hunt up some brandy. 1t was probably
the sight of the five-story buildings that
gave him the belly ache, for they haven't

otherwise This eX-city marshal. whose
name is given as Thompson. instead OF

SCHOOL OF ORAToRY.

Last evening the pupils of Prof. Hoss'
class in oratory finished their first term
They have been studying the speeches of
Daniel Webster and they closed the term
by the speech of Mr.. Webster in the senate
protesting against the course of President
Jackson. The students analysed the pro-
test and then drew their own conclusions
either in defense of President Jackson or
in support OF Mr.. Webster They showed
evidences Of careful training in the line Of
producing argument on any given subject
and also exhibited evidences of study on
their own part. The class was not all
present, some of them being detained at
home on account of illness. The WORK of
this class is evidence that Prof. Hoss
thoroughly understands the art of public
speaking and also how to teach it.

What is art?

What IS art?
We do not need to look in the books for
a definition. Art nowadays is visible all
about us, in almost everything we use
1t is TO be seen not alone in pictures on the
walls, in the form and ornamentation of
public buildings and private houses, and
in articles worn for personal adornment
1t is in the humblest things we use-in the
form and ornaments of the lamp at which
we sit to read, in the legs and cover of the
table, in the pitcher from which we pour q
drink of water. and the lumber from
which we drink it, in the handle of boys
jackknife, in the pattern of girls calico
gown
1t is impossible TO escape the application
of art to industry; the farmer sees it in the
design painted on his lumber wagon, and
his wife sees it in the castings upon her
kitchen stove and in the backs and lcgs Of
her kitchen chairs
The making of a lumber wagon or a
kitchen stove, even suppcsing there was no
attempt TO make either one OF those useful
articles thing pleasant TO look at, would
be an art according TO the dictionary
definition; but nowadays, when we speak
of the employment of art in industry. we
mean something else; We mean the attempt
not only to render beautiful TO the eye OBJ
jects which are made wholly to be beauti-
full or pleasing, like a painted picture or a
DIT of sculpture, but also to render those
beautiful in some degree which are made
to be useful first OF ALL. E. Chamberiin
