pIc1on by the good country folk, Tor they kept their secret One morning after heavy rain they met i'll their boat on the river as usual, hunting for some trace of the cave. The river had risen to great height and was bank full A floating log demolished the frail craft The Indian was thrown out of the boat, and, striking on his head against a floating log, met his death.
 Nellie would have been drowned had she not been seen by one of party of campers who had strayed from his camp at Milville to float down the stream ill a boat watching out for wild ducks. Before she sank the second time the hunter pulled her into his boat. Her companion introduced himself as Dave Norton of Delaware
 He took her to his boarding house and promised to find the body of the Indian, but was unsuccessful.
 Dave's acquaintance with Nellie rip ened into love- Nellie reciprocated. They took up the hunt for the cave to- gether, but the high waters had washed away all traces to the cave, and to this day the treasure is unknown. Shortly after this Dave and Nellie were married, and with the assistance of Ben $. Lee she has been able to find her relatives, who are prominent and wealthy people of Chicago.

A Champion of Kissing.

The Porterville Enterprise is trying to encourage the pursuit of happiness in that thriving town by declaring on high medical authority that kissing, once the object of much medical disrepute, is an altogether wholesome and healthy exer- else, not the dangerous practice which it has of late been painted, and that, in- stead of being avoided as fraught with meteorological menace, it is to be en- couraged as one of the best of all exer- cises for the human system-all of which ought to be true, if it is not.-Fresno Expositor.

TODD'S LAMENTATIONS.

Pop. Todd, ex-state labor commits
sioner, in the interest Of calamity and
the Duncan of Punkin party, issued an
official report Of the farm products Of
Kansas, which he headed ''DoeS Farm
ing Pay:" The document as might
we'll be guessed from its authorship,
proved decidedly damaging to the
state. Mr.. John Speer, who has just
been relieved Of his position of assist
ant labor commissioner by Bird, APP
preciating the damaging effect Of the
Pop document published to the world
by Todd, has just completed and pub
lished a showing of the prOfitableness
of Kansas farming by counties. The
facts given are from official statistics
and are uncontrovertable. a study of
them will convince the skeptical. He
shows that Todd's scandalouS mistate-
mentS were for political effect, were
lies upon their face. On the wheat
crop alone for 1892 Todd misrepresent-
ed the total product at 81 ,026, S01.S1 less
than It actually was, and leaving out
the entire crop of spring wheat of
northern Kansas valued at 81, 157,-
335.11. In fact Todd cut down the
total value Of the states products of all
kinds fully 20 per cent. Mr.. Speers, in
showing up the defamatory work of
Todd, has done the state a great ser
vice. Mr.. Speer closes his thorough
and exhaustive and splendid showing
with the following allusion to Todd's
calamity book: "AntiQuarians will ad-
veEtise it and bookworms will hunt for
it as the Munchausen work of the age,
and it will be known only for its stupid
ity where it is known at all, and will
be laughed at rs Todd's Lamentations"

IT IS NOT TRUE.

The Mail is mistaken in its estimate
of the Eagles attitude towards the
Fourth of July meeting at Topeka. We
care nothing about it one way or the
other farther than we believe ii was
inspired of hatred for an honest man
" no was so unfortunate as TO honestly
express his belief, which belief is just
as sound as the principles Of our gov
eminent, no more, no less. If the
convention had been called in the in
tereSt Of temperance, for the purpose
of intoxicating higher principles and
ideals it would have had our unquali-
fed Endorsement. But it was not.
There is but one way to successfully
combat the drink habit, and that is by
education. We are not so old but we
can remember when it was the thing
for ministers and deacons to have a
decanter on their sideboards. The de-
canter didn't disappear from penal
laws, but from enlightenment Tenn
perance is a morality not to be encom-
passed by statutory enactments with
a penalty attached, but to be inculcated
at the mothers knee. by the fathers
example by the minister's counsel. by
the churches precept and societies per-
SuaSiOnS, not by big political conven-
tons on the Fourth Day of July.
The Fourth of July is Independence
Day for everybody in America, without
reference to creed or belief, nationality
or sex. and one-half OF the people do
not that day Of all others, like for the
other half to get together and criticize
them or their government.
That the appropriation Of the day
in such an interest should seem pre-
is not TO be wondered ar.
or as Mr.. Howe OF the Atchison
Daily Globe puts IL. Topeka will finally
celebrate the Kansas Prehibitory law
instead of the Declaration OF lndepen-

aME AND THE GOVERNOR

There has been q greater number OF
disagreeable things falling to the lot of
Governor Morrill, than to all Kansas
governors of the past, including the
one who fed in disguise TO Missouri.
We often wondered that Lewelling.

man is really superior, did not resign,
but his affections were light compared
TO those of Morrill, His last trouble

SiOner.
The Kansas City Gazette, published
in w. Il. Birds own town, is unsparing
in its criticism and estimate of Bird as
a state officer, declaring that his ap-
pointment was the fooleSt fool thing
any administration Of Kansas was ever
guilty of; that the announcement dumb
founded the people of Kansas City. who
regarded him as ridiculously incompe-
tent, having been the guy Of the streets.
The Gazette says that after his APP
pointment he always referred TO the adj
miniStration of the affairs Of the state

the late League meeting as having
downed our administration. He seems.

One prominent and standard English
magazine even goes SO far as to COM
mend Grant Aliens woman Who
Did," clubbing it the ''Evangel of Free
Love"
In the Contemporary Review an
article. '.The Fiction of Sexuality,
goes to the extreme of conservatism.
clubbing the novelists who write ex-
tensively of sex as erotomaniacs, and
imputing TO them base and mercenary
motives. The new novelist, according
to the latter writer, has described lone
colossal appetite" as dominating life.
The Westminster Review argues that
the novelist of the future can no more
ignore the question of sex than can a
physiologist. LET literature and art
be free" it cries; land let artists who
strive honestly to reflect life meet with
sympathy and encouragement instead
of depreciation and contumely. On
the other hand, the Contemporary Re
view, backed by the Fortnightly,
breaches that the only safety lies in
going back to the ideals of womanhood
of the past. In nutshell: Asks the
Contemporary, rs the sexual passion
the half of life or the tenth part of it,
Answers the Westminster: The
answer is obvious to all who do not
shut their eyes and refuse to look facts
straight in the face. The relations OF
the sexes cover at least a good half
of human experience-perhapS, indeed,
much more, if the entire truth could be
ascertained."
In America we have the new
woman with us. The discussion of
her points does not turn so much on
morality as on her business and polit-
zeal capacity. America is not Squeam-
ish on morals. 1t is sad, but true, that
America likes the spice sprinkle of
immortality gives. Camille" is more
popular in America than in Russia;
"Trilby" is still selling in America, and
is a drug on the market in England.
Camille is prohibited in England
America enjoys it. The reason that
America thinks it can safely permit
itself the company of Camilles and
Trilbys is that the severely practical
American does not model his life from
his boOk-shelves; and he will tolerate
and enjoy in theaters the things and
sentiments that would, repeated in his
home, lead to war.
The bearing Of the new woman on
morality is a question that cannot be
solved outside an actual test If the
new woman serves to bring vice from
its cover in its hideOusness her work
will be we'll. If her function is to
excuse vice and veneer it with pity her
effect will be disastrous

THE THOUGHT THAT SLIPPED

I've argied on religious pin'ts,

But when tried to find the best

The finest thought l ever had

I s'pose I've tried a thousand times
To think that thought agin.

A book to write it in.
I've sot all day with both eyes shet,
An all my wits combined,
A-tryin' for to think agin
The thought that slipped my mind
I've read heap of poetry.
An stories by the score,
An some of them has made me cry
Until my eyes was sore:
But I'll be blamed if amt deaf.
An poor an weak an blind
II have found thought to match
The one that slipped my mind.

An sweetest things is lost,
Or lust little out of reach

To sail on snowy wings,
