Parental Inf

AS a general rule child's taste, opin-
ions, character and trend in life, and
even its permanent destiny, are practic-
ally shaped before the child is seven or
eight years of age. The failure of the
parents rightly to instruct and train it in
those early years, both by teaching and
example, by constant watchfulness and
loving care, can never be made good by
a lifetime of devo tedness in later years.

in his manner, so quiet and gentlemanly
that Doris was naturally attracted to hlm.
They became friends and gradually "Cal-
huahua'' Brown learned OF the past lie
of Doris Ware. Her father had been
man of wealth; be was speculstor. a
bad investment had left him almost pen
niless. He lacked the moral courage TO
| face adversely and in a moment OF des'
peration and dependency he blew out
his brains. The shock almost killed MS
wife, a woman of delicate, nervous
temperament. His daughter Doris rose
superior to the occasion. Sne supported
her mother from the rather small wages
she earned in a store. Ore day she read
nm advertisement in Western paper ::
"Ten girls wanted for light, easy occu-
nations in the mountains; wages $40 per
week" With such large wages she
could comfortably support her mother.
The amount was more than twice as
much as she had been receiving. she
had used her meagre savings to come
West, only to find that "the light, easy
occupation" for which the ten young
girls we're wanted was to serve beer IN
dance hall in Leadville. Being almost
without money she took the first place
she could get; it was her present one
waitress in Mrs. McGuire's restaurant.
"Chihuahua" determined that the CIR
should not longer work in the restau
rant. But what could he doa There
was no other occupation in which sh'
could engage and remain in Pyrltes, ant

The miners working adjoining claim
noticed that ''Chihuahua" Brown wa
paler than usual. His manner was les

at times. He sat up late at night writ
ing and always concluded by tearing u
what he had written. One night whe
he was thus engaged, one of the me
working on the night shift came to tn
door and yelled: :,
"Chihuahua! Chihuahua come I'M

II was a beautiful September after
noon in Pyrites. The mountains were
covered with wild flowers, and here and
there the sides of the monster hills had
been touched by the frost, Transforming
verdant hues into purple, crimson aud
gold. Doris went for stroll early in
the afternoon. She gathered the flowers
as she went along, and almost every step
revealed some new beauty OF the moral
kingdom. Her mind was not 80 much
upon the flowers as it was upon him
big. bearded, honest, manly "Chi'
huahua" Brown. She had received a
letter from her mother that morning, in
which remittance of S1OO was &C
knowledged. The letter to her mother
had been sent by "Chihuahua" Brown,
and he had stated therein that the SlOO
was part of the proceeds from mine
in which Doris had an interest with him.
The money was badly needed by the
mother, and her gratitude was almost
extravagantly expressed.
Doris strolled on, thinking of the
generosity of "Chihuahua," and the
secret. delicate method he had taken oi
showing it.
It was time to return. The shadows
began to gather on the mountains, anc
darkness would soon be upon her.
She started back to the trail; but, alas

Bureau Of Information.

The Burlington" has recently
established, in a convenient quarter
of it's elegant and commodious pas
senger station, at Chicago, an Office
designed to afford travellers all in
formation on the thousand-and-one
things they need to know with re-
gard to routes, rates, connections
and accommodations. 1t has been
placed in charge of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway
guides, maps and timetables, and is
known as the Bureau of Informa-
ton" 1t is a place to which all
travellers may apply for information
and receive full and correct answer.
This is the only Office of the kind
west OF the sea.board cities, and it
cannot but prove help and conve-
nience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Burlington enter and
depart from this station, and the in
telligent and valuable service OF the
bureau may be enjoyed by all pa
irons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued
by the Burlington in the near future,
giving accurate information as to
"How to Get to the Worlds; Fair
Grounds. How to Secure Rooms
and Board at the Various Hotels,
Boarding and Lodging Houses"
Trustworthy agents will be at the
c., B. & Q. depot, in Chicago, to
impart all information to visitors.
Arrangements will probably be made
by which some trains will be run di-
rect to the worlds fair grounds
without change or delay.

NOTE.

1t is humiliating to have to apollo
gize or explain for ones own short
comings, but it is exasperating to
he compelled to explain the careless
ness Of some one else.
Owing to delay in getting our
paper, caused by the carelessness or
negligence of somebody connected
with the Kansas City Paper House,
we are compelled to either print
fewer pages or issue the AGITAToR
two days late this week.
We think it better to do the for
mer, and hope we will not have to
do 80 again soon.
LArER.-Owing to the fact that
the paper did not reach us until this
friday morning, we are obliged
to both issue "short" paper and
issue it a day late.

The Leavenworth Times has the
following on its local page in re-
cent issue, which requires no COM
ment from the Record :
American tin has been given fair
trial at the fort, and, so far, has
proved failure. The tin is, in
many instances, higher-priced than
the foreign article. Commandant
Pope examined some Of it, yesters
day, through a powerful microscope,
and found it to be full of spots,
which are caused by the dipping
being improperly done. Tin is
really mostly steel, thin plate be-
ing made and dipped in the tin,
which adheres to it. AS matter of
fact, Captain Pope says there is no
American tin, the article bearing
that name being shipped into this
country, together with the steel
plates, and gets its name because it
is dipped here. He tried to get
genuine American tin, and was in
formed by the dealers that there was
none. He investigated farther,
which only confirmed this state
ment,

say silver bullion will raise in value
until it reashes the value of 1878.
Demonitization deprecated, and if
there is but sixty-eight cents worth
of bullion in a dollar, "devil law"
has made it worth but that. Quit
your hypcritical cant. Tell the

One of the simplest and most con-
vincing arguments against trusts
is the following from the Lincoln
Herald :
1t is all wrong for the poor man
to even talk of taking the property
of the rich. In fact, it is anarchy.
But it is right for the rich to form a
trust and take the property of the
poor. A cent is not much, but it is
taken from the poor on every pound
of sugar and on every gallon of
coal.oil. 1t is all right to have
school book trust take a quarter of
a dollar from the poor man every
time he buys book for his children,
but it is thirty days and costs for a
poor man to swipe book. 1t is an
archy to talk of an income tax, but
it is all right to snatch ten-dollar-
per-day from the poor devil who
drives a team in the express busi-
ness. Half the tax is advised to be
taken off bank circulation, but there
is cry that the poor mans meagre
stuff shall be assessed at its full
value. These facts are not all con-
nected, but they are worth thinking
about. Some people, we hear, are
smoking their pipes.

..DOMINANT ISSUE -

The letter OF Samuel Dickie, chair
man of the national Prohibition
committee, favoring what is known
as the dominant issue" plank in
the Prohibition platform, and pub
lished in nearly all the Prohibition
papers, reflects no credit upon its
author, and will work injury to his
party. 1t is full of undignified and
uncalled.for slurs, and smacks
strongly of Wall street and Stand
ard Oil influences. There are tens
of thousands of voters who would
have added themselves to the Prohi-
bition party ranks at the last elec-
tion but for that unwise and self.
righteous plank, declaring prohibi-
tion the dominant ISSUE" and max
ing it the test of party fealty. The
platform, with this exception, was
splendid. 1t was greeted with favor
by press and people but, with this
dominant issue" attachment, its
force was destroyed. Sensible men
saw at once that a victory for the
party on such a platform meant
nothing beyond prohibition, and
Mr.. Dickie now acknowledges the
fact, for he says:
"a sweeping victory for our party
would mean woman suffrage in
Michigan, but not in Mississippi.
1t would represent the triumph of a
free. coinage sentiment in Colorado,
but not in Massachusetts,. 1t would
mean the domination of tariff-re-
form tendency verging hard upon
free trade in Minnesota, but nothing
of the kind in Pennsylvania"
The people don't want party
whose policy means one thing in
one state, and directly the opposite
in another. If Mr.. Dickie wanted
to kill his party, we don't see how
he could have hit it harder blow.
Is it any wonder the Peoples
party grows!
