Some of the Best of Epitapts.

Some OF the best epitaphs in the language
are among those which were intended for
materials no more lasting than paper and
printer sink. These jeux esprit partake
of the nature Of the epigram; they seize
upon some foible or weakness, and Inci0sc
it, as though it were q fly, in the amber OF
sparkling verse Such an "epigrammatic
epitaph"-if one may be excused the term
is Garrick's cOupleJ upon Goldsmith;
Here lies Poet Goldsmith, for shortness called
Noll.
Who wrote Ike al angel aud talked Ike poor
Poll"
The sting, such as it is, of these lines -
more than compensated for by the honey
which precedes it, The following epitaph on
Sir Nathaniel Wraxall is far more severe:
AIisplacing- nstaking-
isquOting-misdatiuE-
Men, manners. things, facts all
Here lies Sir Nathan WraxalL.
Vanburgh. in his capacity Of architect
not Vaubnrgh in his capacity Of poets
referred to in the following lines;
Lie heavy on him, earth; for DO
Laid many a heavy load on thee.
Occasionally the epitaph Is light and
Jocular, and disdains not the use Of the pun
This, on Foote. might almost have been
written by Hood:
Foote from this earthly stage, alas, Is hurled.
Death took him OIL, who took or all the world.

1t was generally understood, as it was
hoped, that the stand taken by Indian
Commissioner Morgan in regard to
making contracts with tie Catholic In
dian bureau for maintaining Indian
schools would be rigidly adhered to, but
it now appears that the commissioner
has weakened, he having given Arch
bishop Ireland assurance that the con-
tracts heretofore in existence will not be
disturbed. In the estimation of those
who are opposed to the policy of the
government in any way supporting
church schools, or other church interests,
the commissioners last action is hu"
initiating back down.

1t will be well for the political parties
of our state at their coming conventions
to take cOgnizance of the discrimina-
tons of the railroads against the ship
pers of Kansas. The Republicans of
Reno county at their convention last
Saturday hit the nail on the head when
they inserted the following in one of
their resolutions:
There is evidence that the railroad
interests of the state have entered into a
combination TO build up interests outside
of our state and to discourage the agli-
cultural, mining and manufacturing inter
ests of Kansas. Rates of freight which
are accepted as remuneratiye in the state
OF Missouri are more than doubled on
crossing the Kansas line, injuriug every
producer and consumer IN the latter state.
We appeal to the railroad commissioners
OF thu, state for such relief as they can give
under existing statutes, and If they are
found insufficient, then we demand of the
Legislature the passage of "A rate law
similar TO the one IN Missouri, which is
giving such satisfaction IN that state. and
law which snail effectually prevent the
pooling OF interests, whether known as
Western Traffic association, transmits
souri, association or any other name"

THE FALL OF THE CIGARETTE

The cigarette as an established insti-
tuition has got to go. AT first the public
hOmbarded it from its detrimental eff
fects and the injury it was doing the
youth of the land. From this point the
war has been carried against the man
who smokes them, and derision and ridi-
cule are hurled at his head. The cigar
cite has many deyotees, but unless they
can stand to be made the butt Of public
ridicuie, they will have to find refuge in
the solitude of their own homes or for
swear the diminutive paper-wrapped
cigar. But that adults are dropping it,
there is no doubt. Dealers say that
seyen-eighths of the cigarettes are pur-
chased by minors. If the men abandon
it, it oDi Y remains for the Office of pa
rental discipline to see that the youth alb
stain and to be rid Of the pest almost
altogether. Smoking viii probably con-
tinue for ages. There are two claims,
one that it is injurious, the other that it
is helpful. But this is for the cigar and
the pipe. Everybody above homage are
agreed on the harmfulnes5 of the cigar
cite

Not Hankering for Office.

From the Sedgwick Paragraph.
A good many of the newspaper boys
are of the opinion that Marsh Murdoch
will be the next governor of Kansas,
and, as natural consequence, they are
commencing to say some real nice
things about him. We can imagine we
can see Marsh occupying that elegant
Morocco upholstered chair, with his
pedal extremities elevated to about
forty-fve degree angle, reading those
"taffy pills" and muttering to himself
what damphools make up the population
of Kansas. No. Marsh is not ''hanker-
ing" after gubernatorial honors. He
can have more genuine fun where he is,
and then Marsh likes to give the would
be's" back-handed slap straight from
the shoulder occasionally, and if he was
governor he would be compelled to pull
in his horns or be counted as a back
number the second November after his
election. Marsh prefers to wait until
the people of Kansas regain conscious
ness and quit talking in their sleep about
the good times they will have when they
can borrow money at or per cent on
real estate and the government owner
snip of all railroads, government store
houses, etc. If the good people will
only wait until that time, Marsh may
consent to become their executive, but
not until then will he entertain any such
proposition.

What Makes Kansas Smile?

Prom me OAlrO Argus,
4 line from Messrs. Haythorn & John
ston, former Cairoites, but now re-
siding at Belle Plain, Kansas, says:
"Our county has IN stack 5000, 600
bushels of wheat for this years crop;
an immense crop of oats; corn is out
of the woods and will make a big
yield; potatoes, garden truck, etc, are
going to waste on account of the abund-
ant yield. All Kansas is smiling, while
she is blessed with an abundance of
everything.

Kansas Farmers on Top,

From the K. c, Journal.
One Kansas farmer has just threshed
his wheat, paid off his NOR gage and all
his other debts, and put 5000 bushels of
the grain aside to wait for better prices.
Great is Kansas, and sailing way on top
of the cone of the big wave of prosper
ity is the Kansas farmer. He has been
some time getting there, but he is there
at last, and no mistake.

The head is the crown piece of the human

of the neck, or a contracted tuck down be-
tween the shoulders, when he. whole effort
should be to extend and lengthen the
support of the head, and to give the full
effect to its size. The tall, slender woman.
whose head should stand like the bell
on the stalk of a lily, gets an idea
that she accentuates her height
by an upright poise, and is therefore
