Concerning weather.


When the atmospheric forces and all that sort
of thing
Bring the cold ana cutting winter season
here,
And the iridescent snownakes Of which the
poets sing
Chase themselves, in chilly frolic, through
the air;
When the winds are penetrating and the frost
is on the ground,
And pedestrian locomotion's rather slow;
When the cars are half an hour late whenever
homeward bound
Because the horses can't get through the
snow;
Then the voice OF man arises and he tells .
funny tale
AS 70 how he loves the gentle summer days,
When the flowers nod and whisper in the love
~ hawthorn dale,
And he bzsks beneath the smiling suns bright
rays
But when the vhirligig Of time brings ''gen.
tie summer on,
And he Wits and melts beneath the soSreh.
ing disk.
The inconsistent mortal sings another kind o
song,
As 70 how be loves the winter soId and brisk

HER BIRTHDAY PARTY.


How Charles Presence of Mind Saved the
Life of the Little Hostess.
1t was Belle Bowen's eighth birth
day She was to have eight little girls
and eight little boys spend the after
noon with her. All the morning she
was very busy playing with her new
doll, and looking at her new picture
book, but when four o'clock came she
ran upstairs to put on the new dress
grandma had sent her. She had just
come down when the bell began to
ring, and in came all the little boys
and girls in the neighborhood, all full
of birthday wishes for little Belle.
AT first they danced for awhile; then
they played Ring around the Rosy"
Hot-butter-bean," CLAP in and clap
OUT" but these did not last long.
Harry got mad because Katie did not
choose him, so mamma decided TO have
supper to put all in good humor. And
well it might put them in a good hu-
NOR.
They saw at one end of the table an
old hen and eight little chickens; and
at the other a little bush with eight
roses on it, all made of ice-cream. Belle
looked very little beside her big cake
with eight candles all burning brightly
Mamma went out of the room for q
moment, and while she was out Belle
reached a snapper across the table,
saying:
Pull with me, Jack"
She did not notice that the thin mus
lin sleeve of her dress extended Just
over the lighted candles. In moment
there was a blaze, and as mamma en-
tered the room she found a scene of
confusion. But even before she had
time to reach her little daughter, Char
lie Albert had jerked off his white fan
mel jacket and wrapped it tight around
the pretty arm. Belle was too fright
ened to resist, but even if she had re-
sisted, Charlie was two years older than
she was, and strong enough to hold her
very tightly
In few moments all danger was
over, and little Belle was lying on the
lounge with her arm nicely bandaged
in cotton and vaseline.
Everyone made great deal of fuss
over Belle; but Charlie was the hero,
and when he went home he said:
"Oh mother, how glad ! am CON
scented to wear that flannel suit" If l
had worn the one | wanted 10, how
awful it might have been.
But after all it was not Charles suit
that saved Belle, but his presence Of
mind Our Little Ones

Inst About to Fan.

Have you seen the happy mother when the
babe begins 70 talk?
Have you seen her teach the tiny tangled feet
the way 70 walk?
Ever near each slender shoulder, yet so feeble
and so small,
With her ready hands 10 hold her, when she's
just about 70 fall
Shut your eyes and you can see her in the
baby's childhood days,
When the golden CLEAN OF sunset on her tan
gled tresseS plays;
And the mother, though grown older, sim Is
near enough 70 call.
With her ready hands TO hold her when she's
just about 70 fall.
Now the baby is a woman. and she's bending
DER bed,
Where the spirit from the body of her gentle
mother fed;
As the Hfeless limbs grow colder, ''Motheri
Mother" hear her call,
But there are no hands 70 hold her and she's
just about TO fall
Launched alone on life's rough ocean, she is
drifting with the years,
But the voyage is a1onely one, and, sometimes,
through her tears
She can seem TO see her mother; she can al
most hear her call,
And by faith she sees another hand TO hold her
should she fall

placed il in her hands.
There is no telling whether he could
have caught the car If the lady with
the soft gray hair had not stopped il
for him. He came in out of breath,
with eyes shining and cheeks glowing.
Everyone in the car had a smile for
him.
You did that well, - said one.
'Oh, that want nothin'r' said the
boy between two breaths. at

hadn't "a caught the car cause I'm

said the old woman. with look and
voice of hearty thanks.
''Good-bv, ma'am," he said, with q
laugh, as he swung himself off the car.
Eyes, he is, said the soft-haired lady.
Johnny gazed at them both in great
surprise. She seemed about to speak to
him, but he was now at the end of his
ride, and, as he left the car the lady
followed him. Her face was so pleas
ant that as she kept beside him for
little way up cross street Johnny
could not help speaking what was on
his mind
How can barefoot fellow like that
be gentleman" he asked.
The lady smiled again as she looked
at the new suit, and the shining, we'll
BACKED shoes.
MY little man, she said, you are
old enough TO know that fine clothes
do not make a gentleman.
Don't they?" said Johnny. He was
surprised and a little disappointed.
But a second thought reminded him
that very large part of his life was
likely to be spent in shabby clothes,
so the new idea was not without com
fort.
No !" went on the lady; when you
see a boy who is always ready to give
helping hand and kind, respectful
word to a stranger, you may feel sure
that he is gentleman, no matter what
he wears And when You see a boy
who in his home is always kind and
loving to his mother and the others
who may be there, doing all he can to
help, always being kind to women and
to anything smaller or weaker than
himself, you'll find a gentleman there. +"

Love for the helpless everywhere,

THE SANDMAN.

The Sandman passes from house 70 house
AT dusk on his way through town;
he shakes his box 20 the right and the left
Into baby eyes blue and brown.
And the eyelids droop as The sand shower falls,
So softly that no one knew when
The Sandman came, but you soon can see
Hes been on his rounds again.
For wherever he passes the dear little heads
Droop like the sun-kissed flowers.
And nestle into their pillows white
To sleep through the quiet hours

KEEP MONEY IN BUSINESS.

The great point in the financial situa-
ton is to keep money in circulation. The
st. Louis Republic has this article:
"a safe deposit company can stand a
run. A bank cannot, if run means
the withdrawal of the great bulk of de-
posts. When community transfers its
money from bank to safe deposit
vault it gains something in control of
cash and loses a great deal more in
stagnation of business. Under the pres
ent system banks are the instruments
with which capital IS used in trade and
industry. Nine out ten are perfectly
safe and yet nine out of ten can be
closed by prolonged run. A sensible
town will help the banks i'll lending
money to business. A foolish town will
make lending impossible. There are a
few foolish towns that have hurt
themselves by crowding the banks need
lessly."
And be it said TO the credit of "sleepy
old ST. Louis it does not class with the
last named towns, the result being that
no bank failures are reported there, and
business is good.

ANOTHER POP LAW NULL1F!ED.

The Populist house of the state legisla-
ture of 1891, of which Ben c. Rich was
chief clerk, passed an acc in relation to
descents and distributions, amendatory
to section 1900 of the general statutes
of Kansas, 1889, and repeating sections
1909 and 2,610. Judge Burris Of the
johnson county circuit court, in session
at Olathe on the 18th inst, declared the
act unconstitutional by reason of an
error perpetrated in the improper GER
LITIGATION by Rich Of the passage of the
bill. The matter being of general in
terest we give herewith brief synopsis
Of the case that drew forth the decision:
A case was filed in the johnson Cir
cult court by Mrs. Reeves against the
heirs of Daniel Stinson. Mr.. Stinson
died last February intestate, leaving a
widow and two children and property
worth about 500 900.
Mrs. Reeves former husband was The
son of Mr.. Stinson but he died some
years ago with his wife as his only heir.
Mrs. Reyes claims one-siXth interest in
the estate of Mr., StinsOn, the father of
her deceased husband, and when the
case came up few weeks since she was
defeated under the law of 1891, which
was to the effect that only living issue of
the children of persons dying intestate
could inherit, the court holding under
this law that she was not an heir. Ma ior
l. o. Pickering, attorney of Mrs. Reeves,
attacked the constitutionality of the
law and got the case reopened and on
Monday produced the journal of the
house of 1891, which attempted to pass
the bill, which showed clearly that only
slxty-two votes were cast IN favor of the
bill when it required sixty-three.
Judge Burrls thereupon declared that
the section was unconstitutional. which
leaves the old law in effect, and Mrs.
Reeves claim as an heir for one-sixth of
the estate good
SO much or the bungling incapacity,
or worse, of the latter-day reform legis-
lators. The case cited was costly one
to the defendant parties in interest, but
1t is not an exceptional one: several acts
of the famous legislature of 81 have
been nullitied by the courts, and others
will GO the same way as the courts are
called to pass upon them.
