Mining booms move in cycles, and

periodical booms may also be compared

Some Things to Learn.

Learn TO laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how 10
tell a story. A wcll-told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croakng. If you cannot see any
good in the world keep the bad to your
self. Learn to hide your pains and
aches under a pleasant smile. No one
cares to hear whether you have the
carache, headache or rheumatism,
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in real
life. Learn 20 meet your friends with
a smile. The good-humored man OF
woman is always welcome, but the dys-
peptic or hypochondriac is not wanted
anywhere and is a nuisance as well =

Mrs. S was much interested at one
time in a poor widow whom she had
employed who found great difficulty
in getting living. After awhile, how.

you run against something called a

temptation to buy it, because it seems
cheap and Lecause the seller has a good
enough flow of language to convince you
what he himself does not believe: that it
is just as good as something else twice as
good.
Our Stock of Watches is so large,
embracing nearly every desirable pattern

that you run no risk in making your pur-
chase from US. Besides, we tell you just
what it is. We try to make you believe
just what we know to be facts and what

silver blouse set in the show case and in

bought a similar set the other day in ana
other store, and paid 81 90 for it, and
even bought it in a dry goods store, be-
cause supposed it would be cheaper
there. Comparisons revealed the aston-
ishing fact that ours had more of true
merit in it than the set costing nearly
twice as much And so it is in every

the selling price is right also.

Populism on Trial

Populism is on trial for Its life in
Kansas with the verdict not at all

complete and unrelieved Populist
government The nation will watch
the result. 1t will look to the State
for the coming two years to demon
strate the exact ideas Of government
held by the Populist party, which
must stand or fall by the verdict for,
all claims Of previous partial victories
aside, it is really "the first Populist
party government on earth" Let it
attempt to carry into effect the things
that the Populist papers and speakers
have promised in their rabid utter
ances against capital, banks, cor
porations and the east generally, and
it will be stencil to the body polite
Of the nation. Let it try ever so
hard to avoid blunders 1t has radical
members among its leaders who will

make another victory in Kansas-or
anywhere else impossible.
Kansas has stood a good deal and
1t can stand this. Her skies are as

as rich as ever and peopled as it is by

highest percentage Of school houses,

The latest thing to make Its ap-
pearance on the Topeka calendar is
the Pure Food Exposition and Grocer's
State Convention, the last week in
January. Topeka calls it "Kansas's
New Mid-Winter Festival" and pro-
poses to make it as illustrious a sue
cess as was the Carnival last October.
The management is undertaking the
enterprise in such an enthusiastic
spirit that the affair cannot help be-
ing success. Nothing is more civil
izing than labors in the direction Of
pure food and Kanas is entitled to
much credit for beginning recogni-
ton of this fact SO early in its history.

He took his place IN front OF the lead

charge, and when all was in readiness
Maj. Davis raised his sword aloft, the
cannon doomed, and at the instant the
gallant troops dashed forward, Maj.
Davis in the lead, the beau ideal Of
magnificent trooper. The confederate
guns belched forth, but their deadly
missiles did not stop the rush Of the
courageous cavalrymen. Again they
doomed. and one of the shells, striking
the center Of the on-rushing horsemen,
sent two men and three horses to the
ground in heap. The federak, with
the valiant Davis still in the van, were
now close upon the breastworks; 1t
was too late for another volley, and
the confederates fell back in terror.
Right over the breastworks the cav
alrymen went, and soon were dealing
death to the panic-stricken enemies.
The confederates could not stand the
onslaught, and made signs Of surrender.

Was It Silver Sentiment

The Kansas City Journal reviews

closes thus:
Z ut would seen from these figures
that unless there was something be-
sides the financial question operating
against Republication in Kansas the
losses were not caused by the free
silver sentiment within the party.
On the contrary those congressman
who were tainted with free silver, or
were openly on record in It's favor,
sustained the greater disaster, and
the single congressman who had al
ways been an outspoken advocate Of
the gold standard carried his party
with hardly any loss at all. In fact,
it may be read from these figures
that II all the nominees had, like Con-
gresham Calderhead, been fearless
and outspoken advocates Of the Re-
publican national platform. Kansas
would now have five instead of two
Republican congressman, for II the
had made no greater gains
in other districts than they did In
