journal, resplenient with illustrations by
the best artists, and attractively varied in
its literary features. is unique. Just a
faint suggestion of approaching spring is
given in an article, descriptive of bloom

which W. Hamilton Gibson, who repro
duces Nature with such artistic fidelity,
has drawn series of illustrations por-
traying ANIMALS in the rich glow of pro-
fuse bloom. James Whitcomb Riley sings
in his sweetest, purest strain of 'Little

the spirit of which Rosina Emmett Sher-

1t is stated on good authority that Col
Gharles b. Morton is TO be given another
position under the administration. Ex-

Congressman Milliken's Question.

Last week Mr. Brumm of Pennsylvania, a
thorough believer in liberal pensions, was
replying to Mr. Bartlett's intiMation that
the veterans are looting the treasury. Dur
ing Mr. Brumm's remarks, Mr.. Milliken was
seen edging for the center aisle. This meant
''a question "Will the gentleman permit
me?" quoth the man from Belfast. Ger
tainly," replied Mr.. Brumm. "Well, how
can the treasury be looted after it has been
emptied by the operation of the WILSON,
German tariff act and the policy of the
party now in power" When Mr.. Brumm
recovered he partially answered the inter
rogatory by saying that there was not really
much left to loot. The House smiled

American War Ballads.

George c. Eggleston has collected the
war ballads of this country, and pub
lshed them in volume handsomely print
ed and finely illustrated. We are not
"Jingoes," but some of these verses stir
the blood like the blast of a bugle
The first one in the book describes the
fight between the Yankees and the Indians
in the wilderness near where IS now Frye
burg, Maine Capt. John Lovewell, in
1775, with "a Massachusetts men, met
Pagus, a Pigwacket chief with so or 100
Indians 1t was a bloody battle; IS whites
and 80 Indians were killed. Capt. Love
we'll and Pagus fell, and the Indians scat
tered off to Canada. Young Frye was
the chaplain and the ballad says:
He many Indians slew,
And some Of them he scalped While bullets
round him flew.
A brave chaplain but somewhat fierce.
The Revolutionary War produced some
verses and has since occasioned others.

The plan of taking alcohol on going out
into the COLD is most mistaken one.
The heat felt after taking alcohol might
be considered as due to the combustion Of
the alcohol 1t is not SO; it is in truth a
process of cooling. Dr. Klein states as
his experience in the Franco-p russian
war, that the wines supplied in abund-
ance TO the French troops only intensified
their sufierings from the cold. He says:
''Let me tell you there is nothing that
will make you feel the cold more than
alcohol"

Scientific Temperance instruction i'll the
schools is doing a NOBLE and most useful
work, and has become nearly uni
versal throughout the United States. Mrs.
Mary Il. Hunt OF Boston has been indie
fatigable in her efforts in this direction,
and it must he great satisfaction to her
TO have met with such world wide recog-
milton. In 1921 most OF the States had a
temperance education law. The excep-
tons were New Jersey, Indiana, Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, South Carolina and
Georgia. Nov out OF the - States only
three are without scientific or physiologi-
cal temperance instruction. These three
are Virginia, Georgia and Arkansas. A
number Of the Canadian Provinces by leg
islative enactment and others by Boards
OF Education now require this study in
their schools as do Sweden, Finland and
other countries.

Topeka Mail: Victoria COwden.
who was probably the first white
woman to come to Kansas, died at
lola last Monday at an advanced age.
She went with her husband to the
Usage agency in 1889 and has been a
continuous resident of the state ever
since. Her husba was killed at the
battle of Fayetteville, Ark, and the
good woman then became an army
nurse and remainded at the front un-
til the close of the war. The state OF
Kansas should erect monument over
the grave of this first woman settler,
not only from the fact that she was a
pioneer, but also because of her devo-
ton and services as an army nurse.
One OF our real estate agents got a
letter the other day from a widewer
who has two daughters, one aged 20
and the other Is, and who wants to
find wife for himself and husbands
for his two daughters. The widower
is well preserved and rich, and the
daughters are comedy and will be
handsomely endowed. This is the
chance of life time for a good woman
and two young men, and any such
who desire to avail themselves of It
may have the name of the real estate
agent referred to by calling or writ
ing to this Office and paying for this
advertisement.

Isaacs, wife of Clayton Isaacs, of Els

Mrs. Isascs was the daughter of G.
T. Gardner, of Elsmore, and a niece
of J. H. Gardner, of this city. 1t is
but few years ago that the deceased
was school girl of this city, and by
her winning ways won many friends
who will be grieved TO hear of the
ending of her life. A husband and an
infant babe will miss her kind minis
trations and loving care, and her
near and dear kindred and intimate
friends will miss her sadly, for she
was beloved by all.

nice program was carried out In the
afternoon by the scholars. After all
was over the scholars of the high

An Interesting Debate.

Regular session of the Wellington
Senate was held Monday night at the
High school building. The attend
ance was good, many visitors were
present, much interest was mani
tested and all felt that the evening
was pleasantly and proatably passed.
The question for consideration was
on the resolution relative to race dis
elimination, for the strict enforce
ment of all laws pertaining to civil
rights, and to censure and condemn
all violations of such laws; the resolu.
lions being, of course, an outgrowth
OF the late unpleasantness in the
lecture course, and the still later I'm,
unpleasantnesS in the city schools
Many good talks were made and some
torcible and telling arguments were
advanced pro and con on the Resolu
tiOnS.
Senator Morris, having introduced
the resolutions, spoke in favor Of
their adoption. He contended that il
we diSregarded the civil rights laws
we must be holding for naught the
eternal principles of liberty, and
would be 'trampling under foot the
great Heaven-born truth-the Fiji.
