SHE WAS a BRIDE. Her dress
showed it, and she wasa pretty one,
too.
Her light silk dress fitted her per-
fectly, and her hat was the acme of
good taste. She nestled up to him

"No, dear"

EVERY year every local paper
gives from 100 to 5000 free lines
for the sole benefit of the communi>
ty in which it is located, No other
agency can or will do this. The
local editor in proportion to his
means does more for his town than
any other ten men, and in all fair
ness, man with man, he ought to be
supported, not because you may
happen to like him or admire his
writing, but because a local paper
is the best investment community
can make. 1t may not be brilliant
or crowded with great thoughts, but
financially it is more of a ben
eft to a community than the
pres cher or teacher. Understand
us, now; we do not mean morally
or intellectually, but financially,
and yet on the moral question you
will find the majority of the local
papers are on the right side of the
question. Today the editors of To-
cal papers DO the most work for the
least money of any men on earth.
Subscribe for your local paper not
as charity but as an investment.

a newspaper can say nice and
pleasant things about man and his
whole family for two long years, and
then incur their lifetime enmity in
one short week by a seeming slight.
Yes, it's the fact and you can hur-
rah for candidate, back his friends,
cuss his enemies and make a big
fool Of yourself all the way through,
without thank in the end, to find
when you are candidate that he is
''out O politics." But there is one
man that don't forget you, and that's
the man you opposed.

Genius at bottom, means genius
for hard, systematic, persevering
work. Labor is divine, for without
it nothing is accomplished that is
worth the doing. This is true in
every department OF work, whether
intellectual or manual. Especially
is it true in music. 1t has been the
experience of all great musicians
that eminence is attained only by
long. patient practice. Thayden
practiced at least sixteen hours
day. Patti spent twenty years in
study, always denying anything that
would interfere with her studies.
Well may the world revere her.
Rubenstein once said: "If / do not
practice for one day my fingers know
the difference; and if l do not prac
tice for three days my friends know
the difference" Nothing but earns
estness and work will bring success.
Famous men in every field attest
this truth. Milton felt himself call
ed TO compose poem of worldwide
fame, he also felt as deeply the need
of preparation for the work. Hence,
from early youth his la6orious life
as student. Sir Isaac Newton con-
sidered that without patient effort
he would have accomplished moth
ing. "Whatever | have tried to do
in life, have tried to do with all
my heart to do well; whatever |
have devoted myself to, | have de-
voted myself to completely. In
great aims and in small, l have all
ways been thoroughly in earnest"
is the testimony OF Charles Dickens.
Il is within the power OF everyone to
accomplish something by patient
conscientious tot, land although each
one may not be genius, in the usu-
al meaning of the term, yet, without
the effort, the forces latent within
would remain undeveloped. "All
things come to him who wisely
works and waits"
| The weary hours of school are en-
lightened by the thoughts of next
weeks holiday. How shall we make
the most of then?
Miss Mamie Griggs, of Upshaw,
is boarding at the Seminary. We
welcome her to our midst. This
makes thirty-two pupils in attends

The Junior Literature class en-
joyed reading "She Stops to Con-
quer," last week.
The following are the names ofthe
successful contestants for speakers

Ethel Gramling, Jennie Glover,
Louise Smith, Elma Reynolds, Hat
tie Dunwody, Adelina Gibbes, Rosa
Morris and Matte Lou Bussey.
The contests for places in the
coming commencement are all over.
Some of our girls are happy in that
they are successful, other regret that
they did not put forth more effort.
Doubtless any of the unsuccessful
ones could have won if they had
worked with the proper effort. May
they not be discouraged, but press
forward the more earnestly, and
snatch success from failure.

AN OLD TIME INDIAN TERROR.

An Aged Indian Who for Ten Years Ter
rorized tho Settlers of Arfzena.
They were talking about Indian out
breaks when one Of the party, who had
been for many years a resident of Ari-
iona territory, remarked:
tell you, gentlemen, that this Indian
business is pretty serious. Why, down
in Arizona we lived for fifteen years in a
state of terror on account Of a maraud-
ing band Of Apaches that had things
pretty much their own way ali this time,
in spite of all the government troops
could do to keep them in check
call to mind particularly Old Vic
torio. There was a warrior for you. He
commanded band of some 200 bucks.
They were the Chiracahua Apaches, and
the murders, robberies and depredations
committed by that band during those
ten years in which they were on the
warpath arealmost Incredible
Old Victorio was nearly so years of
age when the troubles began. He ruled
those redskins with a rod of iron in
spite of his years. And he was para
lyzed, too, completely paralyZed. He
was only able to use his left arm little,
just enough to lift cigarette to his
mouth.
He was constantly in the saddle, and
had to be strapped on like bale of
goods. His band had the finest ponies
to be found anywhere. They would
sometimes appear at one place, and in
less than twenty-four hours you would
hear of them some place 100 miles dis
tant. All throughout southern Arizona
and northern Mexico old Victorio con-
tinued his raids until the settlers finally
gave up in despair. The government
troops appeared to be utterly powerless
in the matter.
Why, that band of redskins would
sometimes plumber a wagon train right
under the noses of the troopers, and by
the time the latter were mounted and
ready to start in pursuit they would be
out of sight. The next day, perhaps, the
wires would tell Of some fresh depreda-
ton committed by the same band in
section Of the country over 100 miles
away.
This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and shot. He died in
the saddle, fighting to the last, and his
band, what was left of it, dispersed. OF
course the settlers heard of it and were
delighted. Disray followed, however,
when Cochise took the field. This In
dian ran things pretty much the same
way for five years, and then came old
Geronimo.-New York Herald.

CORONADO CLUE RECEPTION.

The regular monthly reception of the
Coronado club occurred at their parlors in
the Sedgwick building last evening. The
spacious rooms were illuminated and were
well filed with the beauty and chivalry Of
the city.
The reception was rendered to the lady
friends of the members and was entirely
informal. The evening was spent in con-
versation, whist high five, billiards and
dancing The music for the occasion was
furnished by Professor Harry Sheppard,
and those who were inclined 10 dance
passed a pleasant evening tripping the
light fantastic toe over the canvassed
floors.
The Coronado receptions are looked for
ward to by those who have the pleasure of
participating in them with pleasurable
anticipation. The reception last evening
was only another of the successful social
events that the club has established e
reputation for giving.
Elegant refreshments were served during
the evening and the ladies who were the
recipients Of the evenings honors found
that their sterner relatives could do the
part of host as easily and as acceptably as
the most fastidious could desire

She Had to Wash the Pets.

A curious case of special interest TO
elderly spinsters and lovers Of house pets
is shortly to come before the Berlin
courts. a young woman was engaged as
companion to an old lady at stated wages,
bat ran away from her place two days
after entering service.
Her mistress procured her arrest under
the law that a servant must give due no.
tice before leaving her situation, but the
police, after hearing the girls statement,
told the lady that she could not compel
the girl TO return, and could only claim
damages in the civil court.
For the girl stated. and her statements
have been proved true, that on entering
the lady's fat four immense dogs jump
ed at her, although they did not do her
any harm. In the next room another
big dog, with litter Of pups, met her
gaze. while the third room was tenanted
by at least three dozen different varieties
Of birds.
The kitchen of the old lady was given
over to cats, and the girls sleeping room
was converted into a temporary hospital
for invalid members of the animal world.
The old lady" said the girl, Twas
very kind to me. but as my duties con
sisted in washing all the dogs daily, and
| had to share my bed with half dozen
dogs and cats, was obliged to run away
TO avoid sickness. London Telegraph.

most cases this design was sliilIfully TAT

corner of Market and First last evening.
They both took off their coats and then
proceeded to tear each others shirt of.
One struck the other on the head with
something and cut cash from which the
blood ran pretty freely. A reporter and
another gentleman arrived on the scene at
the close of the first round, and the COM
batants and two other spectators took to
their heels and ran toward Lawrence. AT
the alley back of the Presbyterian church
they came together again, when a man on
the corner of Market shouted police
Some of the firemen from No l responded
to the call, when the fighters ran up Law

alley toward Douglas. None of the parties
