away toward home. When the crowd
struggled back, the snow had filed the
grave, and obliterated the wagon track.
AS the cemetery consisted of only the
one grave, and had no other marks to
distinguish it from the rest Of the
prairie, they were by no means certain
of it's location in the snow. So they
trudged off home in the snow, and ar
rived to find the team there before
them. The ''tailboard" was out of the
impromptu hearse, and the coffin had
disappeared. 1t was not recovered, till
the snow partially melted, more than a
week after.
Then the relatives arrived anc took
the body east with them, and Turley's
grave went untitled. till a COW broke
| her leg by falling into the pit. The
grave was then pronounced a public
nuisance and filed up with dirt.

A Pleasant Snrnrise.

Sunday. January 60, marked an
other milestone in the life of Randall
LlYesay, teacher in Dist. II, South
Bend township. Mr.. Livesay had
kept the fact secret, but through
mutual friends the date was learned.
Mr.. Livesay had planned to attend
an entertainment at the T.. II. 4. on
Saturday evening, but his friends
quietly set about to prevent this which
they did. About 6 p. m. MIR. Live
say was taken sick with a severe
headache and was about to retire
when the guests began to come in.
The young friends, knowing that Mr..
Livesay did not dance, pretended, by
bringing violiBs, arranging furniture
and talking dance, that they had
come for that purpose. The surprise
was we'll planned and complete. Be
iieving that his birthday vss q pro-
found secret. Mr.. Livesay was slow
to understand the object of the gather
ing.
The presents were such as give
credit to the donors and to be appre-
cisted by the recipient.
An elegant supper. the gift of Mrs.
Plankenhon, was surely enjoyed. AK
Guard Gould if he likes oysters, and
Robert Bidleman why he does not eat
celery. The evening was made enjoy
able by instrumental and vocal music,
games and general merrymaking until
midnight when the guests reminded
AIR. Lvesay that another birthday
had come and gave him one to grow
on. It goes without saying that the
people of Dist II appreciate their
teacher, and he certainly cannot re-
main insensihle of the esteem In which
they hold him. One OF THEM.

THE Larned Eagle-Optie says that
among other ''isms" that will possibly
come up in the spring election in that
village is the one of whether or not they
shall return to township government"
Is it really possible that the people of
Tom Leftwich's town are at last COM
ing to a sense of the futility of their
attempting to maintain city Organi-
zation? If they have not, and must
have the name of 'city" tackled onto
them, why not come in as an addition to
Pawnee Rock? Pawnee Rock people
might kick, on tie spur of the moments
but when the beauties OF having two,
such amicable and loving newspapers;
as the Eagle Optic and the Squealer and
Squaller published in an addition to
the Rock was made plain to them they
might permit Larned to come in as an
addition. If this is done, however. we
want the county line between Barton
and Pawnee counties moved about
steen rods west. We insist that Bar
ton ceuntyas political atmosphere shall
not be sullied by the demoraliZing COM
mingling of the Pawnee Craver and the
doughty 6. Polk Kline.

WE GOT letter from a party in
Pennsylvania the other day, asking
particularly about Barton county
friends, and, generally about what
amount Of suffering there was in this
part of Kansas, for lack Of food and
clothing. To use the writer's own Ian
guage he says: lis there famine in
your locality ? If so, to what extent 2
If there is likely to be any want in Mr..
Is family. we want to send them
supplies. Let me know by return
mail if there is anything like the re-
ports of famine and destitution that
have reached u.s." We wrote the gen.
tleman that the family of whom he in
quired was not in suffering condition;
and further, that it was our opinion
that Kansas has been numerically lied
about for the past few years; that Kan
sas is fully able to care for all her poor;
but that as Kansan we admire the
liberality and good intent of the whole
hearted people of his community who
are so quick to offer aid, although de-
ploring the fact that they had been i'm
posed upon. so far as this state and her
people are concerned.

IT WAS amusing to see those peti-
tions circulated asking for the election
OF ingalls, to Senator Martins seat.
The petitions that circulated in this
town and county were signed by almost
all the republicans; and while the poll
ticians laughed to themselves at the
way they were quilting the unsuspect-
ing voters, the latter doubtless thought
there was some possibility for Ingalls,
coming in as 3 ''dark horse" The poll
tieians we'll know that the state is fixed
for ingalls, to succeed Senato-c PETER,
and that the ''other fellows had TO
have their show this year. The ways
OF republican:sm-especialIy Kansas

Live Within Your Means.

A great deal of unpleasantness and
so-called misfortune is caused by living
so that the expenditures exceed the in
are cases in which circumstances rem
der it next to impossible to have sur
plus above earnings; but great many
who never lay up anything for rainy
day, could do so if they would so deter
mine and act on that determination.
We believe that false pride is largely
the cause of extravaganza, or at least
of the expenditure of money that might
have been saved. Too many people
think they must keep Hp with their
wealthier neighbors in their style of
living; they strain their credit as long
as they can, and if conscience is weak
and pride is strong, ofteHeFesQrt TO dis

to keep up appearances. Others more
honest, hold out as long as they can
and when forced to acknowledg their
financially embarrassed ondition make
an honest effort to pay their cHe ls0Fs.
and get new start in the WSSld.
The young man should make-it a
point to save some of his earnings. no
matter how small they mag be.s If his
salary is small his expences must be
smaller. The business frs whose ex-
penditures constantly exceed its receipt
is sure to go to the wall sooner or later.
This Is just as true of the family or in
<iixidual. It is aecessary to keep very
close accounts and if it is discovered
that the balance is on the wroag side
OF the ledger, there must either be
seEae Tetrenchment or some increased
earnings until the balance is on the
right eide.
Let those who desire to put on as
much style as they please whether they
are able or not, but the prudent man
who lives within his means at all times
will be able to have all the comforts OF
life after others have been forced to
throw OF their false colors and through
humiliation have gone to poverty be-
cause OF imprudent and extravagant
living. The man who pays as he goes
is not apt to live beyond his means.
