proposition is open to the suspicion
that there is stronger desire TO clear
Washington Of the Coxey army than
TO clear this piece Of ground of under

doubt that the "enterprising real es-

plutOCratic press. If there is q piece
of Cussedness that this combined out

VIVID RECOLLECTIONs.

How Theories We're sCOrChed by Hot Winds
and Lightning.
Communicated.
Without any attempt whatever at q
pun it may be truthfullY said that the
hot wind is q dry subject, and for any
person who has experienced several
sieges Of this blistering breeze that pays
it's annual visit to western Kansas and
various other parts Of the West, there is
but very little temptation to write the
subject up. Not but what the impress
sions are vivid enough, for they are
branded into persons memory as with
q red hot iron and in q way that pre-
cludes the possibility Of ever forgetting,
but the recollections are not pleasant to
dwell on.
have q vivid and disagreeRbls recol-
lection Of the last Of several hot winds
that I experienced in western Kansas.
On that particular occasion / abandoned
some theories, and became a respector
Of some facts that were opposed to them,
and / have been q little sCeptical that
way ever since. It was about the first
OF August and the wind had been blow
ing steadily from the south for three
days and getting hotter each day. There
had been no rain for several weeks and
ell vegetation, especially corn and grass,
was fast drying up. Everything showed
the effect Of the dry weather and hot
wind. Even the people seemed to be
Wilted, the wrinkles in their faces CORE
sponded with the rolled leaves Of the
corn, and their dropping heads with the
tassels. 1t is impossible to be exposed
to scorching wind such as blew on
that day and look pleasant. Either con-
sciouSly or unConsciously the face will
wear frown. The only way to escape
the willing effect Of the wind is to get
in the shade where the wind can't strike
you and think about something pleas
ant. Instead OF worrying about how
you are going to get through the winter,
imagine yourself at the sea shore with
the cool sea breeze blowing on you, or
instead Of trying to figure out how you
are going to raise money to pay your in
terest, just think Of taking q sail on
your pleasure yacht. It won't cost any
thing to think about those luxuries, and
it WON'T help anything TO worry about
the wind.
On this afternoon it seemed that oil
energy and animation had been sspped
out Of everything about the place. The
wind was the only thing in motion. The

acre, but then when we got more rain,
twenty bushels would be sure thing.
Then, again, the very highest price was
80 cents per bushsl; but the wheat

things quiet down, prices will 60 up

ever went into politics. Once In while
we discussed the tariff, but that was too

and that was all we wanted to know. We

for that year. We agreed that ie this
hot wind only would lot up and we would
get some ram, we might got enough TO
feed our teams through the winter, and
to fatten q couple OF hogs for mSat. The
hot wind had been known to bring rain;
maybe IL would do it this time.
Just then We noticed that the wind
had moderated, and there were some
clouds gathering in the southwest. In o
short time the sun was hid from view,
and dark, heavy clouds were rolling over
us. AS soon as the wind lulled and the
sun was hidden, q great change took

"THEY REFUSED WORK"

6. There has been a concerted and per-
sistent effort of the hosts Of plutoc-
racy ever since the Coxey movement
began to manufacture sentiment
against it. The men enlisted in the
several industrial armies have been
pictured as q gang of thugs and
buns and worthless vsgsbonds too
lazy to work and not too honest to
steal; and Notwithstanding the uni
form testimony of people along the
lines of travel, and of visitors to the
camps, as to their respectable chsraC-
Ger everything that a hireling press
could do to convey a different izn-
preston has been most faithfully
done. This Sunday morning dis
patch with its significant headline is
intended to deceive the people, and
Is published for no other purpose.
Let us examine it csndidly now and
see if the truth of this statement is
not apparent upon the face of the
story itself. Here it is in the form Of
q Washington dispatch:
An enteFprising real estate man here has
offered TO set the COXeyites TO work. He
has Q traCt Of land about three and half
miles distant from the city which he de-
BiHes TO have cleared Of underbrush and
made ready for subdivision. It is a pretty
spot and much healthier than the sewer
mouth camp now occupied by the COxey-
ites. The owner, DR.. G. P. Gshring, offered
TO Let the army camp on that tract and to
pay them $500 if they would clear the
ground. The proposition struck COXey IA
vorably, but Browne was unwilling to move
the camp 30 far from the city and the Offer
was rejected.
This is the dispatch. Now, let the
reader think Of it q moment without
prejudice. There are said to be 300
men in Coxey's army. Five hundred
dollars divided among them would
give each the munificent fortune Of
$1.66s. It is not stated how large
the patch is that is desired to be
cleared. We are left to guess at
that. Let us suppose that it is a
small patch and could be cleared by
these 800 men in two days. This
would give them 83B cents a day.
And what were they to do
next9 They did not tramp all
the way to Washington to get one or
two days work at such munifcent
wages. They are there on another
errand altogether. They are there,
not in their own interest merely, but
as representatives of the millions of
unemployed throughout the country
to protest against the fsvoritism and
class legislation that have made q
few men rich and the vast majority
of men poor. They are there to ask
of their servants q change Of the pro-
gram and the enactment of legisls-
tion that will not only give them
work, but the millions of other men
also who are idle, not for a day or
two merely, but perpetually. They
are there to demand a change of con-
ditions and the establishment Of JUS
tice in the land, and this petty offer

To Re Called E1ijah

Children have been admirably drilled
in Bible detail. They know more about
it than three-fourths of their Sunday
school teachers. They have learned the
story of Moses till they can say it as pat
as the multiplication table. But I do
not find any living interest in Moses.
There is one of the grandest life stories
in history, and they seem to have no
feeling about it. And that need not be
SO.
I remember one of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling me how trou-
bled she had been because she was afraid
she was not making the stories of the
prophets interesting to her boys. But
one day she was oomforted, for she heard
from the mother Of one of them that the
lad had come home the Sunday before,
and after sitting silent awhile suddenly
burst out at the dinner table:
''Well, do think Elijah was fine fell
low, and if 1 ever have kid of my own
I mean to call him Elijah"
OF course it is only a rare teacher who
can teach that way.-Brook Hereford in

Dainty French people have never dis
placed sealing wax with the gummed en-
velope, and in the haute monde of France
there is a certain symbolism in the
choice of colors. Blue denotes constancy;
yellow, jealousy. Pink is appropriately
used by young girls, and gray is en-
ployed when writing to an intimate
friend. Red is confined to business, and
engaged lovers find ruby symboical of
the intensity Of their emotions. Green
is for letters from lovers who live in
hope, and dull brown warns the impa-
tient lover that his offer is refused.
White is chosen for communications re-
lating to weddings and black for obitu-
aries. Violet expresses sympathy. Choc-
olate marks the invitation to dinner
