Emma Abbott, during her stage career,

cunning concealnents for carrying about
her splendid collection of precious stones.
The singers favorite mode Of transport
ing them was in her panlers. Hip puffs
were fashionable then and little chamois
pockets were sewed inside for holding a

jeweler never told Of the hiding places OF
the jewels while paniers were in vogue,
and Miss Abbott declared she felt safer

SOME OF the enterprising Kansas
populists contemplate starting a CO.
operative colony in the immediate
vicinity of Washington, D. c. 1t is
said they have already made arrange
ments for the necessary land. Their
desire to locate their intended colony so
close to the national capitol is that they
are anxious to demonstrate the prac-
ticability of their project to the United
States Congress. The colony will not
be founded upon communistic princi-
pies but simply as co-operatial enter
prise. The land will be divided into
parts, and each member can own one
of these parts or shares only. That is
they believe in property rights on an
equal basis. The industry to be carried
on is farming, and the motto will be,
':small farms, we'll cultivated" We
wish the promoters of the experiment
all possible success, and trust the
undertaking will be productive of
much good. If nothing else is accomp-
lished, it may set people thinking; or
if fairly successful it may awaken
some of the socialistic dreamers to
reality. Society as at present con-
stituted is the result and outgrowth of
several thousand years, and it cannot
be changed or revolutionized except by
the steady growth of something better.
So far there have been many wild
theories and schemes and few sensible
projects, but none, however, seem to
have possessed any staying or growing
qualities. Still no one can approx
mate the development of the twentieth
century

DRAWING NEAR THE END.

The editor of this paper was 81 years
old yesterday(W ednesday). That being
printing day, we celebrate the event as
something to be thankful for not in
cluded in our long thanksgiving article
To-day we are surrounded by friends
young and joyous, an epitome of our
condition years ago-and feel thankful
that we have been carried thus far on
the voyage Of life safely, and only three
years more will bring us to the allotted
age of all mankind. Our aged compan-
ion, who has been quite sick during
the past several weeks, looks to the
coming of similar event in her life
the first month of the glad new year.
We are becoming more Indifferent to
the recurrence of these events now
than we were few decades ago, for
then Hope pointed her radiant finger
to long years of life and happiness,
barring the casualties that all flesh is
heir to. Now, as the decades end in
fruition and we are nearing the end a
glimmering light of hope shines from
the great beyond, while the laugh of
youth and the gaiety always incident to
the occasion, has now a mournful echo
in our very being because youth and
age are so different. Each recurring
birthday of thoughtful age is looked
for with vague expectancy which
bears on its wings mingled dread and
joy. We believe this is generally the
case with people Of advanced years, who
have lived life Of good deeds when
nearing the end; but it is not natural
for humanity to desire to change a
certainty for probability, it matters
not how brightly the probability or
belief is illumed by hope. While we
believe that death is kind and welcome
servant, instituted by our Heavenly
Father for our good, there is slight
doubt lingering in our nature. We
know the cup of life is running low,
and the sugar has settled in the bot
tom. The sweetness of life appears to
increase as we drain the cup, but there
may be bitter dregs in the very bottom

| past. is there man within these walls
who has desire to live the past all
over, with all it's trials, temptations,
and sin? If so we fear for his future.
Look at the past squarely as men,
and we care not how pleasant some
portions OF it may have been, we must
loathe, abhor it, for it has been failure.
The one act that has placed us where
every vestige of personality has been
absorbed in a numbered chattle, has
made the past repellant, and in it we
can see no hope. 1t is sad that this is
so. Let us look on the other side, while
there is life, there is hope, aye, even
after life, if we but grasp the opportun-
tiles of the present. map out an unas-
sailable future, and with determination
stick to the right path, be men, and we
will find one year of such life, more
pleasant, more profitable, than an
eternity of past pleasures, or present
suffering. Cast your eyes for an in
slant upon that platform last Thurs
day; was there happy smile there that
we could not enjoy, were our past what
it should have been? Wives, mothers,
husbands and fathers, children, in hap
Ply unity looking down upon sea of
faces that through the weakness of
a moment had forfeited all honor
and became objects of curiosity, of
commiseration, perhaps contempt. Was
there an individual among the specta-
tors there present, no matter what his
position in life, to which we could not
have aspired, had we but cultivated
thathonesty ofpurpose, that determined
will to do right and be men, before we
were led away from the narrow path to
commit that error which our whole
life must atone for? Who among us
can deny this? This is strong language,
but it is stern truth, and no one realizes
it more than the writer. Now the
future is ours; let us paint it as bright
as man may, and we can all realize it's
blessings. Let us put on this armor of
righteousness, and with Gods help, be
men. Let us not wait until we are free.
that may be too late; but let us COM
mence now, and. knowing our weak
points, strengthen our resolutions. en-
large our will power, dare to do right
for rights sake, and let us look up
ward to a higher than human agency
for inspiration, and all the combined
powers of earth, or the temptations of
hell cannot prevent our becoming
happy and at least contented men. The
span of life from the cradle to the
grave is but an instant; let us ever be
on our guard for the last hour and the
enjoyments and pleasures Of life must
ever be with us. Let us be men, and
we will be fulfilling the Almighty's OBJ
ject in placing us here-any other
course and our present, will be our
future, here and hereafter. Which will |
we choose?
