is good looking and Well-dressed but
he is no less a fraud. lie is soliciting
advertisements for business men, for
what he says is to be a special edition
of a paper to be issued by the students
Of Trinity College. He says he is not
a student but is helping brother
there. The general impression among
those who are on to this man is that
he is the same fellow that worked
his little game on the A. and

that may be he is a schemer and is
imposing on our people. His represen-

are fraud upon Trinity College.

On Tuesday of this week the dem
ocratic state convention was called to
order at Hutchinson. On Wednesday
the populist convention was called to
order at Abilene. AS neither convenl
ton has completed its deliberations at
the time we go to press, we cannot
furnish our readers with the results
this week All indications. however,
point to the probability of uniting
upon one State ticket, the democrats
naming the electors and possibly one
candidate on the state ticket. and the
populists the rest of state ticket, with
the further possibility that Hon. Ed
O. Little, free silver republican, will
receive the nomination for either
attorney general or congressman-at-
large. These, we say, are probabilities.
In our judgement, all parties should
be willing to make concessions for the
success of the common cause of human
ity, and We believe that The good
judgement of the earnest men who
represent the common people In each
of the state conventions will cause
them to avoid division of the free
silver forces of Kansas.

Ideas From Paris.

AS expected braiding of all kinds has
been so overdone that in Paris the
smartly dressed women have wisely re-
turned to their far more becoming trim
mings CT velvet and fur. so again l say do
not tolerate machine brading and avoid
braiding altogether if you would keep well
in advance of the fashion. However, we
should remember that braiding held its
own all last winter. so of course it could
not have been expected to have been
stylish second winter. That would have
sent Dame Fashion off into a tantrum.
Last week l saw a white-haired old lady
wearing the loveliest ruche of black chiffon,
which looked as though quail feathers had
been used to edge 1t. How 1 wonder
where it came from. l have not seen
such another anywhere. But you want
news about some beautiful blouses.

Ebout Delft Ware.

You can find almost every conceivable
article in Delft this season, from hair
brush with a Delft back to a branching
candelabrum. There are complete din
ner sets of it, vases, bowls, in truth every
thing you desire, including quaint
plaques, on which are depicted scenes OF
New York taken 200 years ago. Now, if
you can tear yourselves away from these
studies in blue and white give glance at
the pretty work that comes straight from

are quite sure to invest.
Articles in silver were never more inter
estiDg. Even the inexpensive bits are
rarely excelled in workm anship, and the
quaint Danish, German and old bits OF
English silver that reach US here are
worthy of the enthusiastic admiration OF
the most critical. An ingenious contriv-
ance that would be appreciated by many a
paterfamilias is a mutton bone holder,
which will prevent such roast from
wickedly waltzing all over the dish. Also
there is the carnation cup. Buy one and
have the florist send it filed with say
carnations or great California violets and
maidenhair ferns and the receiver will be
certainly pleased.
l wish l could go on talking about the
varied and beautiful articles, but time
flies, and, children, l have not forgotten
you, bless your dear little hearts. Christ
mas belongs to you more than to any one
else, but you want such lot of toys and
goodies that your mothers and aunties re-
quire no suggestions of any sort from me.
You have told them exactly what you
want, and they are certain to be busily
employed purchasing everything. from a
monkey running up string to an elab-
crate dollhouse, pair of ponies, etc. But
before tell about the trocks and other va
rieties dear to the feminine world let me
wish you all a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year.

Fifteen millions is the price of real

New York World says W. K. Vanderbilt

name with that of the ancient house of
Marlborough. This statement, says the
World. is made on the unquestionable au-
thority of an English gentleman visiting
in Washington, who has been in a posi-
ton to know all the facts. His account is
circumstantial and undoubtedly correct.
The terms of the settlement were $10,-

need rest!
A rest from the hustle and hustle and
worry of these modern days. a rest from
dissem bling, rest from sensation alism.
Our true expression is being forever lost
under the grinding mask we feel COM
pelled to constantly wear. We have be-
come so artificial ourselves that we look
on everything, everybody, and even life
itself, with eyes of distrust, with hearts
steeled against the outward showing, be
it grief or joy, mi isery or prosperity.
We live on artificial foods, artificial heat,
artificial air. Our mode of dressing, wear
ing jewelry, greeting strangers and gov
erning our children is becoming more
artificial with each succeeding generation.
So it is, so it will be until matters reach
such an extreme that the limp and emaci-
ated public will cry halt, and then the
great rest cure will begin.
