TIE SMALL WILL CASE.

It is Decided in Favor of the Topeka
Members of the Family.
The famous Small will case in which
the Small brothers the Topeka bankers
aud cattle men are interested, was de-
cided by the supreme court in their favor
today.
The original suit was brought in Jack
son county by Mrs. Rebecca Small to set
aside a will and contract made
by her husband, father of the Small
boys, in which a large share of his prop
erty went to his children instead OF his
wife. Before his death Daniel Small. sr,.
assigned his property and 100000 in
cash to his brother to be paid to his
children on his death, and at the same
time ma le a will giving his wife Re
becca small $20,0 900 and the home place
at Wilmington, Ill.
The Jackson county district court de-
cided that Mrs. Small was entitled to
more of the property than that given
her in the will, and gave a personal
judgment against the Small Brothers for
$72, ,8O9.7S
The supreme court has now reversed
this decision, and given an opinion which
practically settles the case in favor of the
Topeka bankers. In this opinion the
court says: "We are of the opinion that
the rights of Rebecca Small are CON
May 9, 1888. If there was any real es-
tate or personal property in Illinois or
elsewhere not disposed of by the will nor
included in the contract she is entitled
30 her proper share of the same"

CHRISTMAS.

@ oNG CENTURIES ago the men
IA Of God, the sheppards, watched
focks, and at midnight saw the
star in the East, the bright star of Beth
lehem.
In the manger at Bethlehem was born
to us Savior and a Christmas day to
q benighted. world, Beautiful gifts were
brought to the Christ child by wise men
of the East; and rich gifts of adoring
and faithful hearts, were recorded by
the angel of justice to the credit of the
believing souls that locked out OF the
eyes of the peasantry who laid their
pearls above price their faith in the
Christ child crib.
Christmas is the day of all the year
when the cordsssin the human heart are
played upon by the Divine hand, and
love the anthem of heaven is sung by
the multitudes of Gods creations here
below.

THE POET.
Songs That All Men Desire to Hear and Bor
From Pain and Longing.

Songs That All Men Desire to Hear and Born
From Pain and longing
Then the poet went up into the high
places and cried aloud, saying, 10 Lord
of Life, what wouldst thou have me do?
Is it thy will that should be poet?"
And the Lord of Life answesed, "Even
So,
Then the poet marveled, and would
not yet believe but that the Lord Of
Life Knocked him. And he sought to
reason even against the Lord of Life,
saying:
"It cannot be that shall sing upon
the heights, for was born but in val
ley, and it is hard for me to climb"
The Lord OF Life answered, "Yea, it
is hard, out it is possible"
"But know not what Truth is like
at ALL"
"Long shalt thou seek for Truth, and
shall find it after many years"
s'But nay love is not universal I love
only the maid who dwells in the valley
below. I pray thee, o Lord of Life, let
me return unto her. It is not for me to
be poet"
Then the Lord of Life spake sternly:
'Thou shalt return to the valley no
more. Thy life-work awaits thee"
Now, when the poet heard that he
should see his beloved no more, he was
sorely grieved; and he reproached the
Lord Of Life. saying: IF it was written
from the beginning that should be q
poet, why hast thou thus dealt with me?
Why was ! born in the valley, and not
upon the heights? And why do I love
the maiden so? Through this has great
anguish come upon me, and longing
that will not cease"
Then the Lord OF Life laid his hand
gently upon the poet and comforted
him. And when he had comforted him,
he said:
Through the pain and the longing
that are in thy heart, thou shalt learn
the pain and the longing of all human
ity. And when thou hast learned that,
thy lips shall be opened, and thou shalt
sing marvellous song. And they who
dwell in the valley below shall hear the
song and blees thee for it. For because
thou vast born in tho valley, and lowest
the maiden thereof, thy song shall be
even such song as all men desire to
hear"
And it came to pass as the Lord of
Life had said. Geraldine Meyrick, in
November Lippincott's.

The Killing of the Bottle Bill.

Since the State Senate killed the
bill repeating the iniquitous bottle law
many influential citizens have regarded
the action as an indication of the Dossi-
bllity of vicious legislation. Dallying
with the bill which provides for rails
ing the age of consent has served to
intensity this apprehension, but the
moral sentiment which has thus far
prevailed in the deliberations of the
House has allayed these fears to some
degree These impressions have oc-
casloned the activity observed among
the moral elements of our community
IN the last few days, respecting the
temperance, race track and pool bill
now before their respective committees
III the House and Senate. 1t is possi-
BILE that this active interest will extend
to every part of the State and result in
petitions extensively signed by our
best citizens. The ministers of all
denominations were never more gener.
ally interested in the doings of a legis-
lative body then they are at present
assembly, and it is hoped that the
senate may place itself in sympathy
with the intelligent moral sentiment
OF the State, the fears of which it has
not aroused without cause.-Sentinel

Better Business.

IL is not surprising to learn that
April opened with prospects rather
brighter than for many months for an
improvement in all lines of business.
For two years there has been a steady
consumption with but little production.
The settlement of the tariff question
for at least two years has, naturally.
given encouragement for a resumption
OF business upon the new and lower
basis OF operation made by the radi.
cal change in conditions.
1t is not expected that the tariff
schedules can be changed until 1897.
and therefore the merchants and manu-
facturers know that until then, by con.
forming to the situation, they have an
opportunity to do something if pro-
per caution is exercised. Wages have
been resdtusted and q knowledge Is
already obtained of what may be ex-
pected in the nature of foreign competi-
ton. With these facts known business
men can merely adapt themselves to
the state affairs as they find it and do
the best thing possible. 1t is not
reasonable, however. to expect that
the revival of stagnant business means
return to the conditions which pre-.
vailed before the Democratic politicians
began their work. The country is in
the position of a man who has had q
long sickness of fever -convalescence
will be long and tedious before health
is fully recovered.

The Demand for Peach Trees.

While there is no planting of peach
trees in Delaware now the demand for
young trees in other States is perhaps
greater than ever. Last year A. Pull
len, the celebrated propagation of peach
trees, grew several hundred thousand.
They were all sold last fall for future
delivery. and Mr.. Pullen was compelled
to turn away orders for carloads. He
sends them principally to the Western
States and Canada, while some go to
New England and the South.
Mr.. Pullen began to plant peach
seed this week, and will cover a field
of over 20 acres. This means the
larger part of million of trees. Plant
ing seed and shipping trees has this
week given employment to 80 men and
boys in Mr.. Pullen's nurseries.-MiE-

Florida Is not the only State in the
Union to which unsuccessful British
exile farmers entice young Britons on
pretence of teaching them the science
and art of agriculture. The West and
the wilds of Canada are sprinkled with
like resourceful ranchmen. One
such in Kansas takes learners at from
91O0 to $500 down. charges them for
board and lodging, and requires them
to do the very things for which young
men on neighbOring ranches receive
wages. Advertisements of this and
like ranches are constantly seen in the
British newspapers, and the succession
of victims is uninterrupted.
