GOOD TEMPER IN TRAVELLING.
1t Pays Well and Makes the Time Steal
Away Pleasantly.

1t Pays Well and Makes the Time Steal
Away Pleasantly.
We hear of a good many requisites
for travelling in comfort, but none of
them surpass good temper, especially
in hot, dusty weather, says writer
in Harper's Bazaar. To be Indifferent
to the crying OF cross and tired ba-
bies, to draw shawl or a wrap over
the shoulders when some fresh air
flend persists in sending a current Of
cold wind from an open window, or
equally to be patient when you want
the window open and somebody else
wants it shut, to be ready to accept
delays without grum bling, and to be
as sweet at a journeys end as at it's
beginning, this is to be indeed good
tempered.
If one travels easily and is not
made faint and i'll by the rapid no.
tion of train or seasick by the roll of
the steamer, there is little credit in
keeping amiable. But many women
suffer fearfully from jolting and jar
ring. Their heads ache, their stom-
achs rebel, their nerves are on edge
1t is nothing short of sanity to be
pleasant in these circumstances; but
some people achieve it and they are
held in pleasant memory by their
fellow travellers
A certain amount of philosophy is
an armor when one is on journey.
The thought that not you but the
conductor and the captain and the
engineer are responsible for the safety
of the cars or boat should suffice to
keep you from needless and useless
fidgeting when their is halt. Some
people waste an immense amount of
energy in trying to undertake what
is not within their province. No
amount of idle Tuning will cool
heated journal or repair break in
the machinery so it is as we'll to
keep ones self from friction, main
tain ones composure and trust in the
kind care of providence.
In every emergency, in every ex-
perience the good-tempered person
has the advantage of the one who is
cross and irritable. This is always

this, believe / tried to do right, to
benefit you and bless you, when my

There was much more, and Walters
eyes were not dry as he folded the
letter and stepped softly to the bed
side.
The long sleep was over at last,
and the heavy lids lifted themselves
slowly. There was no start of sur
prise when Walter Holmsby spoke
gently and kindly. Death was too
near for that. Only the wan face
lighted in a tender smile.
'You forgive me?" he whispered.
''Tell me what l can do to make
this hour easier" said Walter, for he
saw that the end was very near.

eager supplication in his eyes.
Six months later, when the snow
lay upon the hills, Walter HHolmsby
came once more to the little village
where he had spent his summer holt
day comforting the orphan. He had
cleared her fathers name, as far as it
lay in his power to do so, and he more
than fulfilled his promise to the
dying, when he made Violet his wife,
giving her true, honorable love, and
knowing he had won her whole pure

Twenty-Five hundred head Of cattle
win be shipped from Grand Summit,
Cowley county, this season.
The La Vita Jersey Cattle company
of Topeka shipped twelve of their choice
Jerseys for exhibition of live stock at
the worlds fair. II. j. Miller and son
Fred, are in charge of the animals at
the fair.
From Peabody: G. F. Stone has left
with the famous Peabody herd of Hol-
stein cattle to be exhibited at the world
fair. This herd has carried off the
premiums at the state fairs of Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
Atchison Champion: Two stacks of
wheat on the farm of Lloyd Allison were
consumed by fire and over $50 bushels
of wheat was lost. John Howard was
threshing for Mr.. Allison and spark
from the engine caused the fire which
consumed the stack of grain.
Atchison Champion: The new crop
of apples are beginning to come to town
more plentiful and the quality is very
good. Hhere are number of fine or
chards in the vicinity of Atchison, but
the yield this year is not large. Ship
pers are paying from So to 81 per bar
rel for apples.
Atchison Champion: A great many
farmers are in this city making purchases.
They feel very jubilant over the crop
prospect this year and say they will need
big force of men and more cribs to
store the corn crop this year. In Atchi-
son county the crop has not promised
SO great yield in many years.
Topeka Journal: "Charles F." the horse
that won the 1000 stake in the year
ling's trotting race at Holton, belongs to
Will Bradbury, the well known horse
man of Topeka. The time made was
the fastest by four seconds, of any on
record made by yearling this year.
"Charles F. is by Fergus McGregor.
Sedan Lance: The drouth in this
country has been very severe, however
there are few neighborhoods where it
has rained enough to make fairly good
corn. But take the county over there
will not be over one-third of crop of
corn. There was a large acreage OF
oats which will come in good play, and
proving the advantage of diversity in
crops.
Abilene Reflector: John Johntz, who
has had excellent opportunity for judg-
ing, thinks the corn crop of the county
will yield less than half the crop Of 1891.
The northeast part of the county, he es-
Inmates, will yield nearly full crop, the
northwest about half and the whole
south part less than half. The average
of the wheat fields that were harvested
he estimates at about ten bushels per
acre

An Interesting Occasion.

No true woman ever tires of going
to a wedding. Whatever her own
matrimonial experience may have
been, the spectacle Of another's ven-
ture seems to inspire her. She is
quite sure that nothing but happi-
nest will result from an experiment.
grown so familiar that it no longer
seems daring. Beatrice will not
grant for an instant that it is ever a
pity to spoil a good bachelor. She
ignores altogether the possibility
that the groom will prove a bad hus-
band. She is confident that every
sweet maid Of her acquaintance is
good enough for the best man on
earth, and sure to make him happy.
And so she beams her benediction on
the passing bride" She rejoices
with her when the ceremony is safely
over. For accidents will happen to
brides as well as other mortals, and
any hitch in the proceedings brings
dismay to every feminine onloOker.
Some Of these mishaps are not with
ont touch of the ludicrous. One
bride, for instance, not long ago, lost
the heel of one Of her satin slippers
as she entered the church, and was
literally put in rather unfortunate
hobble Another in her agitation
quite forgot to remove the black
bootees she wore to protect her
white satin slippers, and sailed up
the broad aisle quite unconscious of
the odd effect of her feet as they
stole in and out beneath her petit
coat. But Beatrice sees nothing in
such things to laugh at Her sympa-
thies are with the heroine of the
occasion, and when she draws
breath of relief when the irrevoca-
BILE vows are finally spoken, and
smiles upon Benedick, who has duti-
fully accompanied her and is think
ing his own thoughts. They differ
radically from hers Out of his large
experience of mankind, he is pretty
well convinced that no man is really
fit to marry trulytnice girl. And as
he meets Beatrice's radient expires.
sion, he looks into his hat and bushes
for the sex that can never by any pos.
sibility be fully understood by women.

THE VOICE OF THE MOUNTAINS.
BIZ JAMES @. CLARK.

saw the mountain stand,
Silent, wonderful, ard grand.
Looking out across the land
When the golden light WAS falling
On distant dome and spire,
And heard a low voice calling,
"Come up higher, come up higher
From the lowland and the mire,
From the mist of earth-desire,
From the vain pursuit OF peh,
From the altitude of SELF
Come up higher, come up higher
Think not that we are cold,
Though eternal SHOWS have crowned US
Think not that We are old,
Though the ages die around us;
Underneath ouI breasts OF snow
Silver fountains sing and flow:
We reflect the young days bloom,
We receive the newborn storms
On our rugged. rock-mailed forms
And restore the hungry lands
With our rivers and our sands.
He who conquers inward foe
All the pain of battle knows,
And has earned his calm repose.
Countless ICONS ere the races
In the cycles took their places,
We were grooming to be free
From our chains below the sea,
Till We heard the sun-our sire
Calling, calling, Come up higher
And we burst our prison bars,
And from out the mist and fire
And the oceans wild embraces
And the elemental wares,
We arose and bethed our faces
In the sunlight and the stars"

GUARDING kansas HeaIth.

Guarding Kansas Health.
In pursuance of recent order OF the
state board Of health, Secretary 81. A
Dykes. of the board, is preparing to en-
force the health laws of the state. The
rules of the board have been printed and
distributed over the state and the second
step will be to see that local health
officers do their duty.
The state has been divided into nine
districts, with member of the board IN
charge of each.
Local boards of health are responsible
to the member in charge of their respec-
tive districts, and to this member the
secretary of the board is to forward all
complaints Of neglect of duty by local
officers.
It is also the intention Of the board to
require magistrates, clergymen, physi-
clans and others to comply with the
statutes in respect to marriages, births
and deaths. Marriages are pretty gen.
orally reported, but many physicians re-
gard the requirements respecting births
and deaths as dead letters. That there
may be no excuse for continuance OF
this practice, DR.. Dykes has notified To-
cal boards of health that the law must
be complied with, and has sent blanks
showing exactly what is expected OF
physicians.
The birth return must contain the
name of family, mothers maiden
name, number of children that have been
born Of the mother, sex and color, cir
cumstances OF birth, nativity OF father
and mother, age of parents, etc., etc.
This must be forwarded to the county
health officer under penalty of fine
of $40.
Physicians must be equally particular
in making returns Of death, and they
must also report contagious diseases
which they may be called upon to treat.
State Certificates and Diplomas.
Superintendent Gaines has named the
following places for state certificate and
diploma examinations:
Topeka, in the state capitol building;
Lawrence, in the university building;
Manhattan, in the agricultural college
building; Emporia, in the normal school
building; Winfield, in the southwest
Kansas college building; Great Bend, in
central normal school building; Kansas
City, Russell, Phillipsburg, Dodge City
and Leoti, in the school buildings.
The examinations will begin Monday,
August %, and continue four days. To
be entitled to three years certificate
the candidate must pass satisfactory
examination in English, mathematics,
geography, history, physiology, natural
philosophy, botany, zoology, geology,
industrial drawing, mental science and
professional subjects.
To be entitled to state diploma on
examination, the candidate must pass q
satisfactory examination in all the
branches required for three-year GER
tiicate, together with solid geometry,
political economy, elementary chemistry,
and Latin; must have taught five years,
two of which must have been in the
state Of Kansas, and must present testi-
monials, as required of the candidates
for certificates.
