The American Pie.

The truth is that the American pie,
whether Of pumpkin, mince, apples,
berries or any other material, is indig-
enous to the soil and cannot be success
fully initiated elsewhere. The foreign
ers must come here in order TO learn
how to make pies. And every American
is born with an appetite for pie. The
foreigner in our midst, and the immi-
grant, assisted or otherwise, has TO ac-
Quire it. His Americanism, in fact, may
be tested by his taste for pie. He is not
a good citizen and fully qualified for all
the responsibilities and duties of voter
until he has learned to love pie like a
native. And his wife and daughter must
learn to make pies Not the monstrosi.

Sir John Franklin.

1t was in Warwickshire that made
the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin.
while l was still quite a child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
image appears before me as write his
name, is associated in my mind with an
event in which he took the keenest in
terest-a total eclipse Of the sun-but the
amusement afforded by rather absurd
incident connected with it am afraid
engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was so we'll qualified to give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode of witnessing the OBJ
scuration of the sun was TO watch it
through pieces Of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that in the course of a
few minutes the noses of every one pres
ent were severely blackened-uncon
sciously to themselves-and the appear
ance of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then so
full Of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think of him aft
erward as the wornout suffering hero of
that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as to his fate during
period cruelty long and trying to his
wife and TO all who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
One Of my cousins was of the mum Der,
and / we'll remember the sensation in
his home when some Of the relics of the
disastrous expedition. afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him -Blackwood's Magazine.

IT is good sense and good Dusine,

II is good sense and good business
policy for Paw Paw people to pur.
chase their goods of Paw Paw mer-
chants, rather than to 60 to Chicago
for them. 1t is equally good sense
and business policy for Americn peo-
pie to buy their manufactured goods
and farm products from American
manufacturers and producers. II
the people haven't the judgment to
so keep their money at home, it is
the truest function of the national
government to so legislate as to give
the American the advantage in the
home market, just as it is proper for
the Paw Paw village government to
put tax by license on peddlers and
Ay.by-night concerns that compete
with our business men.

Fred Hiss Suicided.

Between u and 1 o'clock on Mon
day, the 25th, this community was
startled by the news that G. Fred
Hiss, brother of John j. Hiss, the
harness maker, had committed suicide.
Fred had been drinking heavily on
Sunday, and had some trouble at
home Sunday night in consequence.
About noon Monday he came down
town and going to drug store bought
some carbolic acid, saying his cow had
broken leg and be wanted it for use
on the animal.
He refused to eat dinner with the
rest of the family. and just after his
brother had finished dinner and start
ed down town, Fred swallowed about
four ounces of the acid and in less
than 20 minutes was dead.
He was about 26 years old. and un-
married. Had lived rather a tenn
pestuous life, refused the pleadings of
his brothers and stepmother to settle
down. A coroner's inquest was held,
the verdict being that he came to
death by his own hand.
Funeral services were held at the
First Congregational church at 2 p. n.
on the 9th, and the remains of the
unfortunate young man were inferred
in the cemetery west of town.

NO STATE NORMAL.

The latest that can be learned from
Topeka is that the chances are mighty
slim for any legislation favorable to a
state normal school at Great Bend.
The bill was first knocked completely
out. but afterwards reconsidered in
the committee, and Is still pending.
When the matter is finally disposed Of
AS it will Dy the adjournment of the
legislature without action-we shall
have a word to say about the circum-
stances that combined to defeat Great
Bend interests.

The legislature should pass a bill
regulating the charge for sleeping car
accommodations on railroads. The
present prices are exhorbitant aud it is
not likely they will ever be reduced
without legislative interference. The
prices of every other article in use
have been lowered since the war but
sleeping car rates. Railroads have been
compelled by legislative enactments to
reduce their fare fully one-half. The
cost of building and equipping sleepers
has been reduced fully ohe-half, and
the running expenses have met with a
corresponding reduction, hence there
is no excuse for the exhorhitant
charges outside of corporation greed.
Cut the rates to correspond with other
things.-Wyandotte Herald.
