ANOTHER OElUGE.
The BOY Believed In Gods Promise. but
Was . Hit scared.

Boys-that is, small boys-have quee,
ideas in their little heads, often finding
expression in unique speech. That
they are truthful, or at least intend &c
DO SO, goes without saying During the
recent local food little boy about {
years old stood at the window watching
the rain as it rained IL seemed to him
that he had never seen anything like it;
had never in his brief experience no
ticed such strong indications Of q regu
lar old fashioned food Finally he con.
fided his fears to his mother, asking II
she didn't think that God was going &c
drown out the world again.
Here was tho golden opportunity for
impresslng upon the mind Of contidina
childhood the teachings Of the Bible. Sc
she said calmly, Don't you remem Der.
Archibald, that you learned in Sunday
school that God promised that he
wouldn't drown the world again" The
little fellow watched the increasing rain
moment in silence while he pondersd
earnestly on the momentous question
Yes. he said slowly. yes, | s'pose
I've got to believe what God says, but
but and he shut his lips hard
but this is a devil Of q shower. -

she declares that she is In momentary
dread OF being murdered, and In support
OF this theory sho tells wild, weird
tale. she says, first, that her father was
killed; second, that her aunt's death was
FASTENED by drugs, nnd, third, that she
herself has had several attempts made
upon her life.
On June II, 1865, Hetty says, she was
called to the bedside Of her father. He told
her then that no was in tho clutches Of n
conspiracy and gave her the details Of the
plot against him. Shortly afterward she
left the room, and upon returning found
her father hatbed in his own blood, which
howed from wounds inflicted by promi
nent person whom she does not name.
This conspiracy, according to Hetty's
account, included her aunt-Miss Sylvia
Ann Rowland Of New Bedford, Mass
That lady became suddenly and mys-
tcrinusly i'll, and she died without having
spoken to any Of her relatives. Hetty
says she found tho nurse had been admin.

Then came Hetty's turn. Stones and
other dangerous missiles have been hurled

ACTIVITY IN KANSAS.

Stirring Appeal That shows That Some
Women Are lu Earnest.
The women of Kansas are determined
to secure the ballot. Although the mat
ter cannot be voted upon for over year,
they are actively at work and eager to
do as much as their funds will permit.
The following appeal is issued by the
president Of the State Suffrage associa-
ton:
A constitutional amendment to en-
franchise women will be voted upon in
Kansas in November. 1894 The cam
paign work must begin soon and must
be carried forward with vigor. The pre-
paratory work is begun: we are keenly
alive to the necessity of activity on our
own part. Though the conditions are so
peculiarly favorable. and foes concede
and friends declare the strong probable
ity that the amendment will be adopted,
there is nothing to indicate that success
will be ours without effort A strong
campaign must be inaugurated. but we
cannot carry it on without help from
outside the state, and write now to
urge the aid Of suffragists everywhere.
We have no money. A heavy expense
must be met. This work must be done;
all earnest suffrasists must recognize
this fact. We hope they will be moved
by the necessities and the Importance Of
this work. and by the fact that Kansas
is pivotal state, and that to suffer de-
feat in Kansas would hurt the cause
more than defeat elsewhere could.
We plan to open the campaign form
ally in September next in a great mass
meeting in Kansas City. this to be fol.
lowed by similar meetings in several
principal cities. and then continue the
work OF education and agitation up to
April, 1894. During the following hot
months not much can be done except to
place speakers at the various summer
gatherings, hut the regular work should
be taken up again in September, 1894,
and the warfare carried on, with the full
national American force in the field, up
to election day. To be sure. the time is
long, but not too long for the work wait
ing to be done.
We can put into the field this autumn.
while the Colorado and New York cam
paigns so on. many home workers if we
have but the means to pay their ex-
penses. We beg those who want this
battle won to furnish us with the ''sinews
Of war" We promise that our expert
ence in making 81 do the work of Sc
shall not be without its good uses now,
but that it shall enable Us to make the
best and most Of the money sent Us for
campaign purposes.
This struggle is not ours alone. 1t
must so strongly affect the movement
everywhere that the sufrragists of every
state in the Union should feel it their own
concern and ought promptly to act as
they should when their own interests are
at stake. Defeat in Kansas would set
back the cause in every other state, and
success would stimulate the movement
from ocean to ocean. Let every suffragist
take this fact into consideration and
come to the general rescue in coming to
ours.-Laura NJ. Johns in Boston Wom-

The question Of "cuts" In the columns Of
Tho daily newspapers, IL not exactly burn

than many Of morr importance Il has
been settled In favor of their use now by
every considerable morning paper in Yew
York, and the report reaches us that an
''nrt plant" has been arranged for the most
conservative journal In that most conserv-
ativo city, Philadelphia In the calmer At
mosphcrc Of weekly journalism the prob
lem has long since been solved by the adop-
tion OF the apparently simple principle
that illustrations" should illustrate.
There Is no moro reason why the reader
should not receive accurate information or
pleasing or satisfying impressions through
the fruits OF the engraver's art than there
Is why he should not be given, in legible
type. the printed matter that Is suited to
his needs and tastes
That the business of printing pictures,
whether once or seven times or thirty times
. month, may he conducted in a manner to
make the judicious grieve. or even swear,
Is something Of which the general readsr
does not need to be informed. He cannot
pass u railroad station without having it
forced on his weary and wounded mind
Eut no general business practice is to be
adjudged by its abuses alone or condemned

the last half century Of publishing in this

clearly Is that good pictorial work justifies
itself wherever it can be achieved, and with
this solid fact to go upon the timid or over.

Tho room was lighted by electric lamps,

to order two enps OF coffee and box of
perfumed cigarettes Then they looked
around them.
The floor was covered with rugs. On
the walls hung dasgcrs with jeweled hilts,

pipes Of fantastic and curious design. Be-
fore each couch was n little ebony stand
inlaid with mother Of pearl.
In ono corner sidc by side ON a couch
