A Good Investment.

A travelling man, who was also the
head of prosperous firm, promised his
newly welded wife that he would give
her dollar every time he kissed her,
and in that way she could have plenty
of money. Things went on this way
for several years, and he made plenty
of money and faithfully kept his prom
ise-and did lots of kissing.
Finally reverses came, and the once
prosperous commercial man found that
he was almost pauper-and his kisses
were few and far between.
He went home one day greatly dis.
couraged, and told his wife the sad sit
uation and the necessary decline in the
price of osculatory bliss.
She did not seem to be worried, and
he was surprised when she asked him
to take ride with her that afternoon.
AS they were out riding they passed
large block on well known business
street, when the wife pointed it out and
said: "That is mine" Soon they.came
to a handsome fat and she said, ssand
that is mine" She continued to show
him several other valuable properties,
with the same remark, and produced
the documents to substantiate the claim.
Filled with wonder and a feeling of
suspicion he asked: "How in thunder
did you accumulate so much wealth?s
''Do you remember the contract we
made when we were first married?"
''Yes," he replied.
swell, the first year or so my income
was immense simply magnificent the
first few months. invested it, and you
see the result-we are well fixed"
The man hung his head like sheep
killing canine, and said not a word.
He persisted in his silence for about a
half hour, until his wife became uneasy
and asked: 'sWhat in the world are
you thinking about?"
&'I was just thinking" he replied.
''what blamed fool I have been not
to do all my kissing at home"

Band Entertainment.

In company with Frank Smith, wife
and daughter, and Chas. Hobart, the
DEMOCRAT man drove out to the No.
20 school house, just east of Heizer,
Friday evening of last week, to attend
the entertainment given by the Heizer
band.
Starting early, we had a good oppor-
tunity of seeing the fine growing crops
that are so abundant up the fertile
Walnut Valley: and all wheat looked
in splendid condition, lots of corn is in
the ground, oats are showing q good
color fruit trees are full of bloom and
the entire country traversed has pros
porous and thrifty appearance.
The band concert opened at about 9
p. M, to house full to overf1owing.
The Heizer brass band, composed of
| sixteen instruments-and as many
rugged, energetic young men to play
them-has made rapid progress since
their organization, some time in Febru-
airy. G. F. wilkins is their teacher and
| leader.
The program opened with couple of
selections by the band. Next was a
song I'VE are Free" by Miss Mary
Langford, Charlie Wilkins, and Will
and Clay Lucas, followed by anothe T
selection by the band. Mr.. Chas. Hobart
gave very fine baritone solo, and a
cornet sole during the evening.
Ice cream and cake were served by
by the boys of the band, and though
the evening was very cool, everybody
had come to enjoy everything that was
offered, and the ice cream soon disap-
peared from mortal sight, though prob
ably still Ito memory dear" with some
of the boys.
After refreshments. the band played
other selections, and Thos. Harper and
two sons sang several trios splendidly.
Among their songs were: Homeless
Tonight, ""Beautiful Isle of the Sea, .
and ''Rock of Ages" Little George
Smith of Great Bend, sang pleasing
solo that was well received.
During the summer the Heizer band
viii give an open air concert and picnic
in the grove near the station Of Heizer,
and they viii sure make success of it.

unbecoming. my son. Any of these

Yes.

Yes.

No, money must have intrinsic value.

You said stamp of the government

A Legislative Endorsement.

A law was passed last winter in
Minnesota affecting the sale of alum
baking powders. The interest excited
by the bill when proposed led to long
and thorough investigation by a legisla-
tive committee of the qualities of all
the baking powders sold in that State,
with the result that the Royal was
shown by very positive evidence from
the State Chemist, DR.. Drew, and ohers,
to be the purest, strongest, and in all
respects the best baking powder in the
market.

WHEN the democratic believers con-
verse with members of the peoples party
they are invariably told that the peo-
Piles party is advocating the same prin-
ciples that underly the sdperstructure
of democracy, and therefore the demo-
Gratis ought to be willing to vote the
peoples party ticket, simply as matter
of principle. 1t takes person of nerve
to utter the above statement. For
arguments sake suppose the above to
be true. There would be greater rea-
son for asking the peoples party man
to vote the democratic than vice versa.
For the democratic party is national
organization and by voting with it the
advocate of democratic doctrines puts
himself in touch with six millions of
other men like himself, while the peo-
pies party has an important existence
in only four or five states and it is not
reasonable to ask the soldier In grand
army, six millions strong, to transfer
his allegiance to a skirmish line of
three or four hundred thousand. Again
the democrats have been helping the
peoples party out to greater or less
extent for two years past and common
fairness dictates that the compliment
should now be returned. Upon the
whole there are great many reasons
why the peoples party men should vote
the democratic ticket this fall, and
none why the proposition should be
reversed.-Holton Signal.

IT IS amusing, and rather disgusting
also, to hear some peoples party enthu-
siasts who are so prejudiced that they
viii read nothing but peoples party
literature, claim that their party is
''sure to carry Kansas" not only for
state officers but for congressman and
the electoral ticket. The same fellows
will tell all about this or that southern
state that the peoples party viii sweep;
about Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Col
orado, and other western states that are
sure peoples party in 'o2. They are
either very shallow in their judgement,
OF they are playing exdemocrats in
this party for suckers and at heart
would rather see the republicans win
than any other party in this state.
There is not the least foundation for
their claim that they can carry Kansas
or any of the other states named with
out the aid of democratic votes, and we
defy any of them to prove wherein they
have any reasonable foundation for the
assertion. That class of fellows, how
ever, are only a small minority of the
voters in the alliance, and as far as
their votes go it does not make much
difference whether they throw them Gin
the middle of the road" to be trampled
out of sight by the great battle that is
coming on between the two strong
forces of democrats and republicans.
There is danger, though, that their
vaporings may cloud the vision of the
honest thinking men in the alliance, so
that the latter may also throw away
their votes instead of casting them with
the great democratic party-the only
party now in the fight which has a show
to down the arrogant enemy of the
farmer and the laborer. Men who are
in earnest in their demands for reform
in public affairs; who desire to see the
masses of the people have their inter
ests considered in legislation and admin
istration of justice; who understand
that the corrupt party now in power
must be disarmed and retired from
service, will be slow to rush blindfolded
after the chimerical leaders who have
nothing but their bare assertions of
assumed strength to back their argu-
ment.

A TALL, lark individual, with a
hatchet face covered with scanty
beard, broad white hat covering the de-
fects OF bullet-head, a pair of foveralls,
bright striped, and blouse that has
seen service, constitutes a fair de-
scription of the man who always par
ticipates in a ''rush" when new ter
ritory is opened for settlement. Such a
man will starve on the best quarter

The republican state convention at
Hutchinson last week nominated Geo.
T. Anthony for congressman at large,
and elected Jonn J. Ingalls, to head the
delegation to the national republican
convention at Minneapolis. The candi-

gates to Minneapolis are of the mediocre
variety, neither good nor yet very bad.
The corrupt Anthony and the blatant

BEAUTY OF CHILEAN WOMEN
1t Is not OF a Classical Type but Co
quettIsh and Fascinating.

1t Is not OF Classical Type but Co
quettIsh and Fascinating.
While the general thought OF today
in regard to Chile has q bellcose ten
dency. it is pleasant to turnto n more
peaceful subject in connection with the
little republic. 1t matters not how
rough the heart OF man may be, he is
generally susceptible to beauty, and
thoughts OF more gentle conquest
may reign when we forget the men in
the contemplation OF the women OF
Chile, says Harper's Weekly. The
races OF the North, who are for most
part fair, are prone to acknowledge
the beauty OF their dark-eyed South
ern sisters. The standard OF beauty
may not be so high-that is, it may
lack the regularity Of feature that IS
so charming, the CLASSIC simplicity
which possesses n grace OF it's own
but the women OF the warmer latitude
have certain coquetry that is more
orless irresistible. Especially so is it
in tho case ofths creole and Spanish
types which are found in Chile. The wo-
men all a fleet the black shawl, or man
ta, and this is the regulation mourning
and church attire, no woman
ever going to mass without this SIM
pie wrap. Some travellers 60 so lar
as to assert that it is this manta
which lends so much charm to the
wearer, and makes her attractive,
while without it she might not receive
| q second glance. This may be true;
but no matter how beautiful Carmen
might be, there would be something
lost throughoutthe entire opera did she
not wear her manta. Those who have
seen Carmen can appreciate the charm
OF woman of Chile, i'll whose veins
runs the Spanish blood. There is
coquetry in every motion, suggestive
OF sly exchange OF notes at the church
porch, under the eyes OF the watchful
deunna. In Chile, however the wo-
men do not suffer the tiresome chaper-
onage that is undergone by their
Spanish sisters; but perhaps that Is
one OF the advantages of q republic.
Why they even have women as street
car conductors, but it must be said
that the manta does not play part
in the collection of fares, which is com.
monplace under any circumstances.
The women were put on during the
war with Peru, when men were scarce
and all needed at the front. These
conductors, however, are many Of
them very attractive, and the youth
OF Valparaiso is not inclined to sit in
side the car while pretty young wo
man stands on the outer platform
The Saxon tpye is not uncommon in
| Chile, but one cannot reconcile the
| idea OF their dress under such circum
stances, and the best examples O
| Chilean beauty are distinctive.
