Moral
I'd Travis tells this story.


Ed Travis tells this story;

Last evening his hack was employed
by a young blood-not a Topeka blood,
however-who went riding with a
young lady.
The young blood was all right and
had much coin and currency
They We're out late
This morning Travis was standing at
his usual stand when the young blood
he had hauled the night before ap-
peared.
He was very much excited.
Il had 500 when I got into your
hack last night he said, "and this
morning had only $500
That's too bad said Travis
The stranger CTravis sWears he was
q stranger) continued: Il believe the
lady whom I had the honor of accom-
panying last night borrowed it without
letting me know about it,
''Weu?' said Travis.
'Weu," said the stranger, you see
it's this way: I don't want to be mix
ed UP in it, and if you can get it back
without letting my name appear, III
give you $50.
Get into the hack" said Travis,
after he had drawn a long breath
The stranger got in and Travis drove
him to his CTravisO house.
Wait here a minute said Travis,
as he disappeared into his house.
In a few moments he returned with
three S100 bills.
Il found EN- on the floor Of my hack

Golden Resolutions.

Low many good resolutions are
broken during these January days:
As the midnight bells ring out the
old and ring in the new year, how
many thousands of penitent inebriates
promise themselves to lead better lives
and for weeks and days thereafter
struggle manfully against the tyrant
that ruas riot through their veins.
But flesh is weak and alcohol is strong
and as the days 60 by the craving for
drink becomes so great that few OF the
struggling thousands can resist it,
and, one by one, they fall hopelessly
into the old ways until another mile
stone shall give them pause. To the
weak but willing among us the Kelley
Institute of South Carolina is goa
send. The gold cure is mot gold that
glitters," but it shines Ike benedic-
ton in the faces of the iberated-the
free. Make, by all means, your good
resolutions, but back yourself with the
gold to be had only in South Carolina
at the Kelley Institute in this city

his SHAKESPEARE. Give me Christ and

than the surf beat of many waters,
yet soft as the whisper of cherubim.
Oh, glorious heaven When the
last wound is healed, when the last
heartbreak is ended, when the last tear
of earthly sorrow is wiped away, and
when the redeemed of the Lord shall
come to Zion, then let all the harpers
take dewn their harps, and all the
