always been occasions OF great Jollitca-
ton, and now that the order has reached
the quarter century milestone of its ex-
istence, it is not surprising that the ad-
vance guard on arriving In Detroit to
celebrate the "Silver Anniversary"
should greet each other with lusty hur-
rahs, hearty handshakes and hat throw
ings, under a profusion of bespangled
and beribboned decorative draperies that
formed a rainbow canopy across the
line of parade. From end to end OF that
long line of gray-bearded veterans as
they entered Detroit there was not a
gloomy face nor a heavy heart, for the
rejoicing seemed TO send an electric
thrill through every form, banishing all
gloom and sadness. The veterans came

pie; it is too beautiful for one man
to hide away"
The Youths Companion, of Bos-
ton, siezed the idea, and spent
twenty thousand dollars to repro
duce the painting The result has
been a triumph of artistic delicacy
and color.

Not q Surprise, but Noble Deed.

GREELEY, KAs., Dec. 3, 1891.
AS have been sick the last five
weeks, not able to do any of my
farm work, on Tuesday, the LIST
inst, company of thirteen men
and boys by introduction of Charles
Renzenberger, kindly volunteered
their assistance, came forward and
finished gathering my corn crop.
In the forenoon, while part of them

two months; then in the afternoon
the chips and splinters had to fly,
and that with a right good will, too.
The names Of the company are
j. C. Renzenberger, Ed Olendorf,
John Long, DR.. Vail, Major Gear,
Henry Weld, James South, Peter
Oswald, Fred Decker, Ben Mills,
George Dixson, Amos South and
Will Wright. Eli Truefitt being on
the sick list himself, sent hand
with team and wagon. And least,
but not last, little Eli Sigel furnish
ed the music.
The ladies who so freely gave a
helping hand were:
Mrs. OlcndOrff, Mrs. James
South, Mrs. j. C. Renzenberger,
Miss. Flora South and Miss Tracy
Olendorff.
Now | will say, boys, yom have
left me in good shape for this rainy

THE WHISKY REBELLION.

EDITOR LEVER: Allow me to give
a few figures for the purpose OF
showing what we gain by high Ii
cense in Leavenworth city. We
have $50 saloons. Each pays a
monthly fee of $3.50, or 5000 per
year. Now this gives us 100000 in
come per year. But let us look at
the other side Of this question.
Allow these saloons to sell, each $40
per day, this would give $3.50 to
each, and $50 times $3.50 equals
$457 900 paid out. How does the
account stand now? Let us see.
We have received 100000, and we
paid out $457, 900; thus leaving us
out 1861 500. If this amount had
been expended for food and cloth
ing, it would have been help to
legitimate business, and brought
comfort to many poor family.
LEO.
This is direct evidence of the
whisky rebellion in Kansas. We
have excellent prohibitory laws,
and yet here are $50 saloons in one
city, in open rebellion. Who is to
blame for allowing this revolt to go
on without being suppressed ?
Ample provision has been made
for the execution of all laws. When
Humphrey took his seat as govern
or of the state, he took a solemn
oath to use the constitutional pro-
visions for the execution of the law.

American women" writes the
London correspondent of the Re-
former, certainly go ahead at tenn
perance work and advocacy in a
way we know nothing of in this
country. That may be in part due
to the more advanced state OF the
sex as to public recognition, but it
is also undoubtedly due to their SUI
perior organization. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is a
great power in the land, and their
system Of work embracing as it
does many subjects not necessarily
of temperance work as usually UNI
derstood, is far-reaching in result as
we'll as in effort. They invade
every walk in life, and are heard OF
in church and Sunday-school con-
ventions, as we'll as in Prohibition
conferences "

Lady Bountifu1 in a New Guise

She was about nine years old, and she
was swinging along lower Broadway with
great air of taking everything in as she
went along. and enjoying herself very
much.
She did not seem to think about herself,
or mind the fact that one toe was coming
out Of her shabby shoe, or that there was
hole in her old, faded wooden hood, from
which waved a small plume of haXen hair,
or that her soiled cotton dress was not a
very warm covering unsupplemented by
any wrap in the raw, damp air that lovely
spring was just then treating us to.
She plunged into the crowd around some
workmen who were laying pipe; she crit
ically examined the leg of the man who ex-
hibits come form of masculine carriers on
his own person, and then coming to an
apple stand kept by an old woman, she did
the thing that makes her worth "putting
IN the paper;" she laid down a coin, a
nickle, suppose, and picked up an apple
just as she was getting ready to plant
her teeth in it the old woman held out her
hand with the change-and now if could
just show you the happy, the magnificent
ly kind gesture with which that blessed
ragamuffin of young one took that old
woman's wrist and pushed it back-she
was not going to spoil her spree taking
penny change from poor old woman, not
much-that was what the movement said,
and then she moved off a step, and after
stopping an instant to take g monster bite
she swung on down the street with never
a glance backward.-New York Herald

Future of the salaried Man.

"What is there in the future for the con-
temptation of man who works on sal
ary?" was asked of man who employs
men, by another man who draws a salary
and thanks God. The employer suggested
to the inquirer that if a good salary was
being drawn the recipient s'might invest in
paid up life insurance policy" He didn't
do it, but he might have added, "and then
die" The argument could have been car
ried little further had the salaried man
said: II believe q man on q salary who is
not of provident disposition, and who sees
that eventually he must become a pauper,
is justified in getting as much excitement
and satisfaction out of life while youth,
activity and good salary prevail as pos
sible.
'sThis idea of perpetual economy for TWEEN
ty-five or thirty years to save enough to
carry you through ten or fifteen years of
old age and salary reduced or no income
at all, is all wrong, because when it comes
to death and burial the cost Of the thing
has to be met but once, and if one does not
leave enough behind to cover that expense
there's another fellow, the public, to do it
for him, detroit Free Press.

Wheat in America.

Prior to the discovery Of this continent
by Columbus there was no cereal in Ameri
ca, either north or south, which ap
preached in nature to the wheat plant II
was not until 1880 that it found its way
into Mexico It may be difficult to realize
the fact that wheat was at one time wholly
unknown in such an immense country and
one so favorable to it's production, but
such was the case. It was in 1880 that q
poor slave belonging to Cortez found few
grains OF wheat in a parcel OF rice; he
showed them to his master, who ordered
them to be planted. The result showed
that wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and today one Of the finest wheat val
leys in the world is near the Mexican CAPT
tai,
From Mexico the cereal found it's way to
Peru. Marie D'Escobar, wife of Don Diego
de Chauves, carried few grains to Lima,
the entire product for several successive
years being used for seed. At Quito, Ecua
dor, monk of the order of St. Francis
named Fra Jodoai Bixi, introduced the
new bread grain, and 1t Is said that the ia,
in which the pious man kept the original
seed is still preserved at Quito. Wheat
was introduced into the present limits Of
the United States contemporaneously with
the settlement of the country by the En-
glish and other Europeans.-St Louis Re
public.
