CINDERELLA ABROAD.
They Don't Expect to Find Her in Paris,
Though.


Though.
A new sort of Cinderella competition,
says the London Post. has been started
by French paper in search of sensa-
ton. A shoe nineteen and one-half
centimeters (seven and four-fifths
inches) long has been specially made
and the lady who succeeds in putting
it on will receive handsome present
of plate, and will have her fame car
ried throughout the length and breadth
of France. The notion is said to be n
Yankee oneO Experts are of opinion
that the woman does not exist-in Eu-
rope, at all events, for it is necessary
to exclude China in a competition of
this kind-who will be able to fulfill
the required condition. The lady who
has been for many years at the head of
the ladies' boots department at one of
the Paris universal providers declares
that in all her experience she has
never seen woman's foot only seven
and four-tifths inches long. The aver
age length is twenty-five centimeters
to twenty-five and one-half centime-
tiers (ten inches to ten and one-ffth
inches). Oddly enough, it is found
that coultry girls have feet just as
small as those of their sisters in town,
although it is true the latter are more
cunning in choosing boots that make
the foot look small.

had spied him before he had time
to hide his lavender ribbon, and with a
dramatic exclamation she started for
him. He was in trouble and there was
no denying it. After "sizing her up, J"
the young swain caught his second
breath and then concluded to talk bust
ness. He told the young lady from Ar
kansas that he had carefully considered
the matter and concluded that the bliss
full happiness of life with her was not
meant for one so unworthy as he, and
advised her to return to her father
house. In vain she plead with him and
urged him that her life would be dreary
desert and blankety BANKED blank
without him. The more he looked at
her the more determined he grew. He
was certain that the Romeo of sunny
Kansas and the Juliet of swampy Ar
kansas would not go well together, so he
gave her enough money to pay her fare
and started her back to her native home.
She passed through Kansas City yes
terday much wiser, but apparently not
so very much sadder than upon her jour-
ney marriageward. She looked as one
who would recover from her grief in
ample time to catch some other sucker
through the medium of the advertise
ment, the love letter and the deadly
photograph.
AS she sat back in the chair car with
the air of a maiden from the country
precinct, she did not fail to count her
cash and smile with the confidence of an
old-timer who has beat the game with a
full hand.

Teachers Take Notice.

The regular quarterly examination OF
applicants for Trego county teacher
certificates will be held at the Wa-Kee-
ney school building, beginning at
O'Clock (mountain time) Friday morn
ing, August 25, 1898, and continue two
days. All applicants must be present
by 10 O'Clock of the first day as none
will be allowed to enter the examination
after that hour. Only six branches will
be given out on the first day and each
applicant for a third grade certificate
will be expected to complete the exami-
nation (nine branches) by Saturday
noon. Constitution, natural philoso-
ply and bookkeeping will be given in
the order named, Saturday afternoon.
The board of examiners will consider
order and neatness of manuscript, at
tendance at Normals and Teacher
meetings and other evidences of profess
sional interest, as factors when deter
mining who shall receive Teachers GER
tifcates. Copying and communicating
will bring certain disappointment. An
examination fee of 81 will be charged
each applicant to be paid in advance.
All teachers who expect to teach in this
county during the coming year should
attend this examination unless already
provided with a certificate valid for the
entire term which they propose to teach.
Teachers without certificates cannot
make a legal contract with school boards
and should not engage on conditional
contracts. Such course often causes
trouble and disappointment.

The alliance held an "open" meet
ing for the discussion of the best means
of securing seed wheat for the alliance
brethren, last Saturday afternoon at
Eastman's hall. Mr.. Burk stated the
situation in this county. He said that
Representative Replogle had said that
the present legislature was not legal
body and there was no use asking the
Governor to call an extra session for the
purpose of loaning seed wheat to the
farmers. The attorney general has been
appealed to to see if he could not allow
the county to vote bonds to buy seed
wheat. He writes back that he has no
power to give information and gives no
advice. If petitioned the Governor
would not fail to favor the poor The
legislatures have always favored the
rich. Here Martin Allen broke in with
II wish to dissent from Mr. Burk's re-
marks. He arraigns our laws on the
statute books as favoring the rich. This
is villainously false. 1t is not true; not
correct, and l am sorry to hear Mr..
Burk so villify our laws. think it a
little late to call special session of the
legislature in time to do any good, but
If 1t can be done am willing to help.
I'm not in accord with Mr.. Replogle as
to the legal body. The rich and poor
are on an equality before the law" A
motion was then made to find out how
many farmers wanted seed wheat. If he
was not already member of the ALI
ance his application and initiation fee
would be taken and they would try and
get him seed wheat also. Each sub-al-
lance is to make its report direct to the
county secretary. So far as we could
see there was no seed wheat in sight,
but the scheme to get members and the
initiation fee to run the fall campaign,
seems to be good one.--Hays City Re

A Sequel to Our sLittle Romance

Last week ''Little Romance" told of
the tribulations of woman from Ar
kansas, who came to Manhattan, to
meet her, supposed, recreant lover whom
she had never seen. We left her in the
waiting room with the white ribbon fut-
tering from her shoulder as a mark of
Identification. The Kansas City (Kan-
sas) Gazette gives the closing chapter as
follows:
The Gazette of last Monday recorded
an account of a young lady from Little
Rock, Ark, coming to this city en- route
for Manhattan, Kansas, to meet her
prospective bridegroom. The young
lady was delayed here for twenty-four
hours while the anxious swain paced up
and down the depot platform at Man
haitian in the deepest agitation, anxious
" watching each train, both freight and
passenger, as it rolled In and unloaded
its cargo. But during the long day and
night Romeo saw no little lavender rib
bon f1uttering from the shoulder of the
Juliet to match that which floated to
the breeze from the buttonhole of his
bran new Prince Albert.
When at length, fond hope was giving
place to grim despair, the anxious eye
of the waiter caught sight of the ribbon,
but, horrors upon horrors Could his
eye be mistaken? Was this the angel
for whom he had watched and waited?

The average teaching life of ordinary
pedagogues is not more than four years,
hence we are compelled to recruit the
ranks from the younger generation. One
half of the youngest pupils attending
this Normal will be teachers in less than
four years. They cannot begin training
too soon.

of Trego county had nc commitment
and, consequently, no legal right to hold
him. Sheriff Bohn, of Cove county, was
present and at once rearrested.. the de-
fendant on another charge and started
with him for Cove county with team
and light wagon which had been held
in readiness for that purpose. Defend
ants attorney applied for and obtained
another writ, which was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Courtney, who started
after the Cove county parties and about
twenty minutes behind. Then followed
mad race. Much of it Is imagination
on our part and the truth will probably
never be half told. We saw our sheriff
when he started and we felt that he
would do all that mortal man could do
to serve the process delivered to him by
our probate judge. No one doubted his
good intentions for moment. With
teeth hard set and with look of de-
termination that plainly said he would
"do or die he started while the crowd
cheered wildly by way of encouragement.
From this on we can only give results.
At Collyer, the pursuer and pursued
were only about half a mile apart with
the county line only two miles beyond.
Sheriff Bohn's team had been badly
winded and it seems impossible that
they can hold out until the goal is
reached Never before did the Cove
county sheriff have that intense, ardent
longing for his native heath as he did
right then. Sheriff Courtney's steed
was fecked with foam and his breath
came hard and fast, but he was a
broncho. with wonderful reserve force,
and, already, CLEAN of satisfaction, of
bright hope, of certain victory, might be
seen stealing over the hard, stern feat
ures of his gallant rider. But. alas !!
When victory was almost within our
grasp certain, inevitable and humiliat-
ing defeat awaits us. We use the per-
sonal pronoun as the representative of
us all. 1t was Trego county VS.. Cove
county and, of course, local pride was
sufficient to entitle our sheriff to the
sympathy of us all. The bfoncho STUN
bled-fell and rolled all over the draw.
You will observe that this accident oc-
Cured in a draw-where there was no
friendly eye to witness or hand to afford
assistance. We 'draw" the veil over
what happened to the rider in this fatal
draw. The race was ended. Cove coun-
ty was the winner, but it was all on &C
count of that draw. A telegram an
nounced the safe arrival of Sheriff Bohn
and his distinguished prisoner at Grain
field where we leave them for the
present.

THE STREET IN CAIRO.


Here you go to laugh, if you have
heard much of the place, if you haven't
you will laugh any way unless you might
be related to the young lady in No. SO,
who is only about three thousand years
old, and who does not wish to discom-
pose her features.
This is not an exact reproduction of
any one street in Cairo, but is COM
posite structure combining fac SMILES of
some of the most beautiful things in the
city of Cairo. You will understand the
truth of this when you know that Max
Hertz, the governmental architect to
his highest, the Khedive of Egypt, drew
the plans and even visited America with
the permission of the Khedive, to super
intend the construction of the exhibit.
There are 80 many wonderful things to
see; the mosque, the shops, the cafe,
everything, but you really can not do the
architecture justice for you are so inter-
ested in the people of this unique place.
You see Egyptians, Arabs, Nubians and
Soudanese. They have all been fairly
dealt with by our people for they take
everything good naturally whether they
understand or not. You finally make
your way up to the end of the street and
see the row of camels lying on their rugs
waiting for their burdens. "When in
Rome do as the Romans do, isn't that
precept we have all been admonished
to observe? Well, then when in Egypt

full ring to his massive voice that he was

The county central committees of both
the democrat and populist parties met
in Hays last Saturday. The democrats
organized by electing John Schlyer,
chairman, vice Charles Howard. A flu
sion proposition was received from the
populist committee, offering to divide
the county ticket three and three. After
considerable discussion the whole mat
ter was tabled and the democratic pri-
maries were called for August 81, and
the convention for September 2. The
action of the committee is generally ap-
plauded by the democrats who almost
solidly desire to make the fight on
straight party lines.
Speaking of anecdotes, the first resi-
dent preacher of Hays was Rev. D. Suth-
erland, Scotch Presbyterian, who ex-
pounded the gospel to rather tough con-
gregations. One Sunday Alex Ramsey,
who was then sheriff, but afterward
killed in fight with horse thieves, put
a blue faro chip in the hat when it was
passed around at services. On Monday
Alex became little ashamed of his act
and went around to Rev. Sutherland,
offering him dollar for the chip. "Not
much" said the man of God, "Mose
Waters will cash in that check for So"
And now the question that has been
chasing itself adown these sunny years
is, where did that preacher get his edu-
cation?
