WHEN A FARMER SLAVES.

aides Himself Weep.

-
sides Himself Weep.
A farmer shaving is one of the most
| painful sights ever witnessed outside
downright butchery. For some reason
beyond the present depth of knowledge
the man who ''beards" in the country al
ways has beard like new hairbrush,
and he can never learn how to sharpen q
razor. He gets on the back porch with
his shaving utensils, and, after rubbing
the razor over the strop in an awkward
fashion until whatever trace of edge il
may have had has been destroyed. he
hangs up his broken glass and takes a
position alongside the kitchen door,
where the old lady will be sure to jostle
his arm when she goes out to empty her
dishwater.
With brush that has but little ham
die remaining he manages to stir up a
lot of lather from soap that would raise
a blister on the bottom OF boys foot,
and with this he coats his face till
nothing but his eyes and the back OF
his head are visible. With his thumb
dipped in warm water ne goes over the
stubble again with a vigor that makes
his flesh creep. until he feels that all
reasonab BILE precautions for comfort in
the subsequent operations have been
taken.
Taking the razor and looking at IL
suspicionsly over the top of his glasses,
he runs his thumb along the edge. fails
to draw blood as he had hoped. and
then. with q sigh, grabs himself by the
nose, shuts his eyes and gives q scrape
that makes his hair stand on end as
bunch OF bristles seem 10 come ont by
the roots.
But, once at it. terrible desperation
seems to nerve him, and with his teeth
set, he soes right on with a determine
ton TO get the agony over as soon as
possible.
Ho1Is Of woe break from him now
and then as an expression that poisoDs |
life steals over his face and stops there |
till the last nerve has been pulled out |
of the socle. by that terrible razor. and |
the last bit of stnbble has been laid /
low.
Then, and only then. with sigh Of /
relief. he strikes mp hymn Of thanks /
giving. and joyfully throws bis shaving
paper into the ashpit near by.-Chicsgo /

A man has the right to place any
value he chooses on his own, but he has
no right, legal or moral, to do a thing
that will depreciate the value or damage
the condition of the property of another.
A vote for the calamity contingent
would be to do all of these. Voters of
Kansas, lay aside partisan prejudice for
once. at this critical hour, and defend
your own personal interests and those of
the community by voting against the

COLwICH, Kan, Oct. 81,
The unholly Alliance consumated by
the thimble ringers in Wichita, by
which a fusion ticket was attempted to
be foisted upon this people, has already
born fruit in this portion of Sedgwick
county. The friends of Ed O'Bryan are
prepared to trade off Kies and the whole
Alliance outfit for votes for o Bryan. On
the other hand, the friends of Kies and
Rawson will sacrifice OBrvan, Boone
and the whole outfit for votes for their
candidates. The two factions at this
time are watching each other like hawks,
and are liable to be in each others faces
at any time. FARMER.

and very fine in sentiment, but let not
mothers deceive themselves; if they wish
their sons to be worthy of them, let them
make sure that they are worthy of their
sons respect. The man who to the sug-
ton that, in a certain dispute, his mother
might be wrong, replied that his mother
was incapable of doing wrong, was silly.
His mother was a human being; all
human beings are fallible; human nature
is in none perfection, and not more in a
mans mother than in his wife. He can
nor should love his mother more than his
wife, though the loves are distinct in
quality. Yet no one is asked to revere
his wife or do her homage. She is his
equal, and incapable of being worshiped
or of worshiping, if she is true woman.
OF course all this sentiment about rever-
ence is very beautiful, and respect for
parents ought 10 be chief teaching to
youth. The regard the Europeans, as a
rule, show to parents and the aged, is the
most beautiful trait of the European char
acter. But let parents learn also that the
greatest demand they can make upon the
loyalty OF children is that which the
purity and loveliness of their own lives
tortihes, and make it a JOY to yield to.

THE DAY.

Memorial Day has become, and proper
ly so, fixed holiday, national in char
acter, tender in sentiment and patriotic
in purpose. 1t is fitting that on this occa-
sion once in each year we should pay a
simple but eloquent tribute to the MEM
ory ofthose who served the republic in the
hour of her need. when the call to arms
was an appeal to the love of country and
devotion to the National Union, that was
test OF the patriotic strength of our
people.
War at it's very best is an awful and
the last recourse for an honorable and
civilized people. But when it's neglect
is dangerous to human liberty and
menaces national unity it becomes a
lofty purpose to be approved of all men.
There are heroes in civic life not less than
in war, deeds of valor in everyday walks
not less than those performed upon the
battlefield. But it is given to the nation
as an especial duty and privilege to recog-
nize by fitting ceremonial the heroism of
her soldiers, and the unselfishness in
spired by patriotism that leads its sons to
leave the peace and loves of home for the
dreadful carnage of war, the privations
of camp and the fatigues and trials of the
march. The country that forgets this
duty and neglects this privilege puts a
premium upon cowardice and the extinc-
ton of patriotism. Let US keep Memorial
Day tenderly, sincerely, Loyalty, and by
floral tributes strewed upon the graves of
our citizen soldiery, teach the manhood
of the land that the nation is not un-
grateful.

How Mon Fall When Shot.

The manner in which men fall depends
also upon the nature of the action in
which they are engaged. Nearly every
one is familiar with the traditional stage
fall, where the victim of a supposed death
shot strikes an attitude, clasps his hand
TO his heart, stitfens every joint and
muscle, breathes Historically, and goes
down like log toppled over from the
end. Another popular, yet erroneous,
notion is that men shot through the
vitals leap into the air and go down in a
dramatic attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field in striking positions.
but often an examination shows that that
position was taken after the fall. As a
rule, man who is hit above the hips
goes down. The slighter the wound the
more commotion, for the body instinct
lively resists, Just as it does when one
slips or is pushed or collides with some
object. But a wound in a vital spot
weakens the resistance, and men sink at
once, or reel and tumble with very little
self-control.-George l.. Kilmer in the
Popular Science Monthly.

OF manufactures. The competition with
the East is direct, and it cannot meet it,
and the rates OF freight transportation
are SO low that the competition bears
heavily. And this brings California
squarely face to face with facts and condi-
tons it cannot ignore, situation to
which it cannot afford to close its eyes.
That is to say, California manufactures
are menaced by well settled conditions,
which give the Eastern manufacturer a
large percentage, a percentage enhanced
by the differences between the two Sec
tions, which we have pointed out, and by
the advantage of low freights, all which
enable the Eastern manufacturer to say
at his pleasure that manufactures shall
not flourish in California
