THE ORIGINAL RAIN MAKER,

The rain maker is here-there is no
doubt about that. Whatever his iden-
tity, and whatever the means used to
precipitate moisture, it is certain that
the real old time condenser is getting in
his work, and the generous soil of our
Kansas prairies quickly responds with an
almost visible growth of vegetation.
Yes, we can "almost half believe we
hear the leaves and blossoms growing"
With present prospects it matters not
who brings it about, but lest some crank
rises up and claims the credit for the
diurnal round OF the earth, and with a
view to doing our part toward limiting
human agencies and pretenses within
proper bounds, we own up to a strong
suspicion that he is the same old God of
waters that has done the business since
the beginning of time. Away back of
the historic period. water was needed to
slake the thirst of the patient toilers
who built the Pyramids in the valley Of
the older Nile, and it never even came
from beneath the surface without de-
silver sands of Babylonia and Syria
were washed by the pelucid waters
of the Tigris and the Euphrates,
and were doubtless used to ''wet the
whistle" of the myriad subjects of
Senacherib and King Solomon. or to
mix the mud which remains today In
what seems TO be the indestructible
masonry of the once proud cities of
these great rulers, or to the baser use of
floating their sewerage and filth to the
depths of the sea. Water has been the
indispensable element for bathing, cook
ing, cleansing, diving, drowning and so
on through the alphabet during the
countless icons that have preceded us.
and we submit that it is hardly in good
taste for any self-appointcd scientist to
lay any claims whatever to producing it
at this late day. War has achieved her
victories: learning and literature have
had their vetaries, and science has
wrought wonderful changes, but in the
matter of bringing down the deluge
which made the voyage of Noah possible
even destroying the birds of the air and
fishes of the sea, we refuse to believe in
the agency of any son of the Nineteenth
century who works on the ''for revenue
only principle.

various products and exhibits of their
humble farmysrds. These days are
lively indeed. Then is business car
ried on amid hustle and clanlor on tho
stone pavement of the market place
Often the tall gray steeples of some
old Gothic cathedral are looking down
on all this traffic and minglc their
hourly chimes with the noise below in
quaint and curious harmony. And
when night sets in, and the bargains
and sales are a an end, before returning
home, the peasants flock into the diff.
ferent cafes of the neighborhood for
refreshments. They then joke and
talk in small groups over the business
of the day, smoking their pipes and
slowly slipping their cups OF coffee and
small glasses Of cider brandy.
These are the principal events of the
French peasants life: life of toll. 20

and meritorious excrtion, in which
work finds its yearly reward with the
abundant harvests of autumn. when

THE PRESIDENT GUARDED.
! the Leavenworth lines.

From the Leavenworth lines.
In spite of the fact that the Washing
ton authorities are convinced that the
Coxey movement is a fZZle, there is
much suppressed excitement about the
White House. The president for the
first time in his life is disposed to consult
with leaders of his party, and every body
who has an opinion 10 express on
''the crisis is called to the White
House to make his speech. Nine
additiona! policemen were placed
on duty in and around the White house.
This makes twenty-one guards now on
duty to protect the president, which is a
more imposing number than served at
the executive mansion while Mr.. Lin
coin was president and Washington was
thronged with would-be assassins. In
fact, no president Of the United States
ever surrounded himself with protectors
as Grover Cleveland has done.

CLEvELAND's OPEN TREACHERY.

Ben Harrison, in response to a con-
viction that the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people was emphatically in favor of
the rehabilitation of silver, suggested
and secured an international silver con-
gress, with the sole purpose in view of
reaching bimetallic standard for the
world. Months were consumed in dis
cussing the question and when the con-
gress adjourned a long step had been
taken in the direction of an interna-
tional fixed ratio. The initiative COM
ing from Republican administration
move proving so strong, the Democratic
party was forced to indorse the Har
rison policy so far as to de-
clare for silver in its platform. Grover
Cleveland, their gold-bug nominee,
by the employment of questionable
terms, was compelled in a half hearted
way to endorse the platform. Since his
election, however, he has left no one in
doubt, much less his party, as to what
he believes and where his interests are.
He not only compelled the repeal of the
Sherman law and issued fifty millions of
gold bearing bonds to meet current ex-
penses, but refused to send representa-
tives to the bi-metallic congress which
convened in London day before yester-
day. Now that the world has come TO
see that America was right and that sill
yer must be universally recognized and
accepted as money for the settlement of
international balances and all that, Gro
yer Cleveland in logged wilfnllness
stubbornly adheres to his Wall street in
terests and defies those of sixty millions
of his fellow citizens.

10 A SPIRIT fUNANsW ERED,.
u. Z. HoBBs.)

Spirit! sweet spirit, once so Kind,
Now yelled in mystery divine;
To what far and radiant shore
Did thy weary pinions soar?
Speak, and tell me of that place.
Is il a world of love and grace,
Where joy and peace forever reign;
And cometh never a thought of pain?
Oh, smile upon me as of yore.
Ere you quit this earthly shore:
Ere you winged your distant fight
To that radiant world of light.
Oh, tell me. spirit, is it true
That far beyond those clouds Of blue;
The weary feet that onward press,
Shall find at last "a glorious rcst;''
Will hearts all burdened with sorrow and
care,
Be always light and happy there?
And cometh not the shads of night;
But shineth an eternal light?'
And never living heart is broke,
And never q sad farewell spoke?
All through these fadeless fields above.
Where all is joy and peace and love;
Do angels roam with tireless feet.
And wall the Heavenly anthems sweet?

But still You do not answer. dear.

And it was you who asked with eager breath,

MOTEL SINGING SCHOOLS.
From 81 Nicholas

Prom St. Nicholas
One OF the best cage songsters that
comes To Us from across the water is
the little bullfnch, a small, shy bird
which inha bits the well-wooded dis
.ricts of Asia. central and southern
Europe, and parts of England. 1t is
found in this country only as a cap
tive At home the bullfnch attacks
the young buds OF fruit-trees, and in
ours the enmity Of the gardeners all
through Europe: but the bird is such a
sweet singer and whistler that his
fault IN this respect Is overcome By his
excess of good qualities In Germany
thousands OF bul.fnches are bred and
trained for the market every year. and
many are imported to this country as
.age-birds
At Hesse and Fulda are several cele-
brated siaging-schools where these
singers have their voices and ears

aas supplied 70 til. world some OF the
grandest human musicians; and She

are divided into classes OF SIX each
Each class has separate room where
