NO RESUB MTSSTON.

Charles E. Faulkner Says 1t Is an
ImpOssibiIity as Things Stand.
Mr.. Samuel T. Howe is in receipt of
a letter from Superintendent Charles L.
Faulkner of the state soldiers orphans
home at Atchison in reference to the
question of resubmission, in which Mr..
Faulkner says:
avery observer of our legislative as
semblies chosen since the adoption of
the prohibitory amendment knows that
resubmission has no chance in Kansas
do not think it would be possible even
with the concurrence of political lead
ers in the state, let alone two thirds
count necessary. Kansas has nothing TO
gain and very much to lose by an aban-
donment of her policy.
"The joints can be suppressed and
shorn of all political power, so that their
power for harm in many ways will be
mininized. Let US keep Kansas on a
clean American platform, fight vice in
every place where we can hit it, encour-
age equal conditions in every avenue of
industry and preferment, and we will
get as close to the stars as any people"

They stepped to the edge of the sidewalk
and looked long and earnestly in the di-
rection of the cornice of one of the big
buildings. OF course under the circum-
stances the man who had been standing
in the doorway felt impelIed to join them.
He could not see anything extraordinary
at the top of the building, but he kept his
eyes upturned because they did

the three, and he at once forgot where he
was going and what he had to do and

II told you so, said the man who had
first cast his eyes in that direction, and he
made motion as if to point out some
thing to his companion.
Four men who were passing saw the
gesture and stopped to Investigate, and
before they had fairly fixed their gaze
upon the cornice three others Joined them.
You may be right returned the COM
panion of the man who had first spoken
"but you said 20, you know"
Six more people, including two women,
were now straining their eyes to see what
was wrong with the cornice, and rumor
was in circulation that some one had tried
to throw a child out of one of the win
Cows. This was promptly denied by tho
man who knows it all, and who is always
present on such an occasion. He said that
a gang of COMMENTATORS had been found
on the top Hoor and had taken refuge on
the roof
Meanwhile the little group at the edge
of the sidewalk had swelled to a crowd of
over 100.
"Well, are you satisfied now?'' asked
the man who had first stopped.
Yes, replied his companion. 'tThere
are more than 20.''
"More than 30 what?' anxiously in
quired several of those nearest the two.
"Fools,'' returned the first speaker;

The man paused for q moment, and
Doris saw that he was little embarrassed.
Then, Doris" he said, ''this is Elsie. l
should like you two to be friends"
The lady stopped and kissed the child.
"Is it a bargain, Doris?"
Then before Doris had bad time to say
how glad she would be to have it SO the
visitor spoke again. 1.-THE fact Is, he
said, "Doris and I had not much to do
this morning, and so we thought we would
come out on a treasure hunt. The viii
layers, you know, must have hidden their
valuables when they fled before the Span
iards all those years ago. We thought the
quarry was a likely spot. What do you
think? Shall we find the treasurer"
The lady hesitated ''At any rate it's
worth your while to try" she said at last.
at is always well to try if you want Il
thing
"And you will help?" said the man
eagerly.
'If Doris doesn't mind" said the lady
So they all went into the quarry and
sought vigorously for the treasure. 1t was
rather big quarry and much overgrown.
Once or twice Doris lost them for awhile
but they were always close together and
answered when she called. After a long
time, during which no trace of what they
sought had been discovered, Doris suggest
ed an adjournment cts big quarry, :"
she said "and we can't go all over it in one
day. And I'm sure it must be lunchtine. ;"
The visitor looked at his watch. 'It is,
nearly" he answered. "But l think we'd
better search a little longer. 1t would be
great pity if we Jared like my friend and
other people came before us and got the
treasure
Well hunt for five minutes longer, ="
said Doris. II am hungry, and they new
er wait for me at lunchtime."
So the three plunged once more into the
innermost recesses of the quarry, seeking
with renewed vigor. Doris found moth
ing, but presently when the visitor was Il
few yards distant from her, he uttered a
sharp cry, and she came eagerly toward
him through the tall bracken. "Have
you found it?' she cried
He turned upon her with serious face.
"Doris, he said, 1--WE should have been
content with bread and butter. They'v
been before us. Look!'
The child came through the fern to his
side. At his feet golden sovereign lay
on the ground.

cried.

no use searching any longer. = say,

Ellen's mother gets her mangle. You take

"May ~ she cried, and then she danced
gayly along the sunny road, the visitor on
one side and the lady on the other. They
would not come in to see the joy which
this poor remnant Of treasure was to
bring to Ellen, and when they started
down the hill together Doris watched them
for awhile from the gate of her garden.
Something about them seemed to show
that they were quite absurdly happy.
"They look" said Doris as she entered
the garden, "they look as if they had real

No time should be lost in resortng to a
suitable remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Btters is the most reliable and widely
esteemed medicine of its class. 1t re-
moves the causes of constipation. or of
undue relaxation of the intestines. which
are usually Indigestion or misdirection
of the bile. When it acts as u cathartic.
it does not grippe and violently evacuate,
but produces gradual and natural eff
fects. very unlike those of a drastic pur-
gative; and its power of assisting diSes-
ton nullifies those irritating conditions of
the mucous membrane of the stomach
and intestinal canal which produce first
darrhoea, and eventually dysentery.
The medicine is, moreover, an agreeable
one, and eminently pure and wholesome.
Appetite and tranquil nightly slumber
are both promoted by it.
