Such material might well be used
in developing a military company
highly worthy of the towns pat
ronage and pride. Beyond the
necessity Of such an organization
in every community as fy-wheel
for shaky occasions, there are ben
ehts derived by participating indi-
yiduals that can be received in no
other way. The discipline, the
carnage, the knowledge OF army

training useful to every citizen and
open only to the soldier.

Josiah Ada ms Beauty.

Boys" said Squire Ben, as the old timers resumed their sittings, there is more fun among the lawyers and ministers and doctors than the world has any idea of, and, as rule, most of them have a very keen perception and enjoyment of the ludicrous, even when at times 4t is at their own expense. I recall an instance of this in an old-time Massachusetts lawyer, Josiah Adams, who in his day was one of the best known legal gentlemen of the Middle sex bar He was more more remark able for wit than for beauty. A friend once remarked to him: MT. Adams, how are YOU? You are looking first rate Yes, yes said the old gentle man; just what one of my neighbors said to me a short time ago. l met, continued he, one of fmy neighbors, and he said to me: How are you? You look very well; in fact, you grow handsomer every day" ''Ah," said I; how is that?" Why, to tell you the plain truth, Mir. Adams, you can't grow any other way!"' Mir. Adams questioned not the premises, but made a profane observation about his conclusion."- Chicago Mail.

LITTLE SUNBEAM,

Little sunbeam woke one morn, Peeped from out the sky Whispered: There are hearts foriorn. Earthward must fly. Hopeless eyes that sorrow know Gladden. where shine Heavy-burdened hearts below Need this light of mine" Little sunbeam taried not, Golden winged it flew; Not one kindness it forgot
 On It's mission true. Brook and valley smiled to see, Blade and leaf rejoiced, And the birds. in melody,
 All their gladness voiced. | Little sunbeam softly creps Into homes of gloom: Kissed the weary eyes that wept, Made the dark to bloom: Woke the hearts to grateful prayer, Drove the frown from sight; Carried gladness everywhere With its precious light. Little sunbeam could not stay Sought its home afar, While, with faint and pearly ray, Came the twilight star Something whispered in my heart. Mid the dusk and dew: Have you done your daily part. Like sunbeam trueg"

 Five o'clock! Oh, I had no idea it was so late. must be going home"
 Allow me to accompany you, Miss Brown?"
 You'll let me see you home, Carrie?"
 Capt. Logan and Fred Jones both spoke at once, but Carrie shook her head
 "1 prefer to walk home alone," she said, gayly.
 About the sleighing party to-mor- row night?" asked Fred, anxiously.
 IT have promised Capt. Logan" said the village beauty, a rosy tint sui fusing her cheek.
 But, Carrie, thought it was settled between you and me two weeks ago." exclaimed Fred, with frown.
 Was it? am sure I had forgotten itl"
 Fred was silent. Capt. Logan's smooth, soft-toned voice broke the si- lence.
 II exact no promises" he said, gal lantly, but if 1 am not punctual to the hour and the spot Miss Brown may draw her own conclusions"
 And Carrie went home.
 She was very pretty, this bright-eyed New England damsel. Fred Jones had loved her ever since they were children together, and Capt. Logan, who had come down to spend the Christmas holidays with his cousins, the Ken dricks, had become so fond of those bright blue eyes and golden hair that he had prolonged his visit into Jan uary.
 "'Pon my word, she's regular beauty" said the captain staring through the tiny windowpanes at the retreating figure of Miss Brown.
 Fred Jones looked quickly up at him as if he would have liked to knock him over into the fireplace, but he refrained from any such demonstration.
 "A beauty" went on the captain, land it's a thousand pities she should be wasted on any of the country bump kins who vegetate among these wilder nesses. Sam, you young villain, are those boots of mine blacked yet?"
 No, they ain't," said Sam, grossly.
 "Well, what's the reason?"
 "Cause ain't had time"
 "See you find time, then, quickly, too," said the captain, and Sam glow cred after him as he went up the stairs.
 "Just wish I had the frin' of him out" said the boy, gloomily. Its Sam, do this,' and Sam, do that and Sam, where's the warm water? and Sam, what the deuce do you mean by letting my fire go out?' and not cent has he guy me yet-no, nor so much as a pleasant word. I wonder if he means to stay here always"
 "You and I are about equal in our love for him, Sam," said Fred Jones, laughing.
 "I heered him talkin' with Miss Carrie about goin' sleigh ridin' to- morrow night" said Sam, shrewdly. "I'd jes' like to put Kicking Tom in the shafts. I would if it weren't for Miss Carrie. He don't know nothin' about horses, that militia cap'n don't" And Sam chuckled.
 II say, Mir. Jones, why don't you get beforehand with him? Miss Carrie don't really care for him, she's only dazzled like"
 Fred Jones drowned slightly; honest Sam was not exactly the kind of Gany- mede he cared to have meddle with his love affairs.

An ''armv" of tramps are on their way
to Topeka. Yesterday Chief Cone of
Wichita gave about thirty of them their
breakfast and turning them out of the
jail started them north in body They
will reach Topeka pretty soon, SO people
had better look out for them. Their
numbers are likely to be increased by
additions along the route. The Wichita
Beacon of last evening contained the fol-
lowing:
''This morning the tramps at the city
jail capitulated Internationally and
agreed to leave the city at once if re-
leased. Two days on bread and water
without any alcohol to stimulate their
tagging spirits had convinced them that
Wichita was not a good resort for gentle
men of their varied resources.
Yesterday they were still feasting on
bread and water They had been in tho
habit of tearing out water pipes and after
flooding the lower part of the building
with water they would take blankets and
other bedding and soak them in the
water When they tried that game the
l
at the grating door and threatened to
take summary vengeance on them with
clubs if they destroyed any more prop
! erty. Moral suasion has failed to tame
! their destructive spirits, but clubs proved
trumps.
To-day they were provided with a
warm breakfast. the first in two days,
and then turned out. You had better
start north at noon," advised Chief Cone
'The Republicans are trying to organize
house of representatives.. Get on the
inside and lobby some bill through that
will permit you to eat meat and pie
three times day and furnish you with
| alcohol to wash it down. Now you get
out, and if any of you are caught in this
! city tonight we will put you on bread
and water for six months" At last re-
| ports the army had reached Valley Cen
! ter and were still plodding along toward
! Topeka.
1t remains to be seen what the police
of Topeka will do about it if they get
here.
If they come to Topeka" said Chief
Lindsey today, Il will solve the tramp
question for them, I'll put every one of
them on the rock pile or make them get
out of town. That's what we've been
doing of late, and | mean to keep it up.
There are too many thefts here now, and
| am satisfied it is the tramps who COM
NIT them. We will commit the tramps.
During the last week we have been
busy chasing tramps out of town. Every
night we compel several to leave town or
suffer the consequences. I'd like to see
all of them get a good dose of the rock
pile.
They'll earn it if they come here to
eat and sleep"

STOLE A HAND CAR.

Three Wakarusa Boys Take Risky Way
of Getting Election Returns.
"Placing distractions on a railway
track is a serious charge in a warrant
which Deputy Sheriff Dan Jones went to
Wakarusa today to serve on Frank Pratt,
Kenneth Duncan and Horace Jordan, all

ted on the night of the last general eiec-
ton, nearly two months ago. They were
anxious to get the latest election returns,
and they heard that the Topeka STATE
JOURNAL was going to bulletin the news
There were no trains available by which
they could come to Topeka, so they broke
into the section shed and took possession
of a hand car, by means of which they
came to Topeka, learned the result of
the election and then went back home.
They put The hand car back where they
got it. In the eyes of the Santa Fe's
secret service this is a serious offence.
The men are not supposed to know the

young men in question will probably be
