An Old Timer Comes to Wichita to Meet .
Brother,

An Old Timer Comes to Wichita to Meet .
Brother.
Yesterday Joe King was manipulating
his feet along Douglas avenue, when he
met a stranger.
Are you Mr.. King?" asked the stran-
ger.
That's my name, sir" said Mr.. King.
you do a pension business, l believe"
said the stranger.
Yes, SIR said King, "but it is a
little slack under the Democratic admin
istration.'
Il want you TO get pension for me"
said the stranger.
''In DO my level best" said King.
"Come into my office"
Arriving at the office, King said:
your name, sir?'
John n. King. SIR"
Il had a brother of that name, once"
said Joe.
maybe 1 am your brother" said the
stranger.
And sure enough, he was the brother,
and knew it all the time, but Joe didn't
1t was sthe first time they had laid eyes
on each other for twentysiX years, and
you may be sure they were glad to have
met.
Colonel William y. King was, during
the war, on the staff of the Ninth Army
corps with Burnside, Parke, Custer and
Reno. He was company sergeant in the
Fourth Illinois infantry under Colonel
Ed. Baker in the Mexican war. In 1852,

1859 he served in the northwest boundary
survey and for some years was the secre-

er Allen, please We shall gather some
new thoughts from it upon which we
can s:eer. the sounder."
Mr.. Alien was tickled half to death.
How ruch easier it is, he thought,
for man like me TO read a chapter in
the Bible than to pray" and for fear the
preacher would change his mind he hur-
richly picked up the Bible. opened it and
began to read the first thing his eyes fen
upon. 1t was the tenth chapter of Gene
sis.
And he read: '.Now these are the gen.
erations of the sons of Noah, Shem.
Ham and Japheth; and unto them sons
were born after the food
1.-The sons of Japheth; Conner and Ma
cog and Na-'em, 'em, all, Madday, and
Ja-v-a-n-Javan. and Tubal and Tiras.
"And the sons OF Conner; Ask-aske-
naiz-Askeynaz and Rephat and Togar-
msh."
Mr.. Allen looked at his wife in pitable
manner and continued:
"And the sons OF Javan: Elishah, and
Tarshish, Kil,im and Do-da-nom-DO-
dam, EN-
This made the preacher start.
Mr.. Allen wiped the Precipitation from
his brow and continued:
by these were the isles of the Gen
tiles divided in their lands; every one az
ter his tongue, after their families, In
their nations"
81 did that we'll" thought Mr.. Allen,
and he continued with fresh and more
hopeful start:
And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mo-
zraim, and P-h-u-t-root, and Canaan.

Raamah and S-a-b-e-c-h-a-Sabtisk
and the soEs Of Raamah: Sheba and De-
dan
THE sons-of-guns," thought Mr.. Al
Zen. as he wiped away another flood OF
perspiration and continued:
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began
to be a mighty one on the earth"
He told bear Stories" thought E. T.,
as he followed the narrative up.
He was O. mighty hunter before the
Lord; wherefore il IS said, even as MINI
rod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
And the beginning of his kingdom
was Babel, and Erech. and A-c-c-a-d-
Akid, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Out of that land went forth Asshur.
and builded Nineveh and the City OF
e-h-o-b-o-t-h-Rayho and Calah.
Wonder what Asshur sold lots for, -
thought Allen as he struck out afresh
and desperate in the turbulent sea of i'm
possible pronunciation.
ami MIRIAM begat Ludlum. and
Arlamim and L-e-h-a-b-i-m-Labum
and Naphtuhim''
ut is no wonder he was in misery"
thought Allen as he proceeded.
"And P-a-t-h-r-u-S-i-m-Pat RuSim
and C-a-s-l-u-il-i-m-Cash Luhim tout OF
whom came P-h-i-l-li-s-t-i-m-Pk
Stem and Cap-h-t-o-r-i-m-Cap Thorim.
Il guess I'll go down where they are
easy" thought Mr.. Allen, and jumping
down to verse IS he read:
And Joktan begat Aimodad and She
leph and HaZarma-v-e-t-h-Haz Ma
Wit, and Jerah, and Hadoram, and Ugal,
and Observation-Disclosures
doc Eichadoodled-m.
And with this terrible remark Allen
slammed the sacred book down on the
center table and awakened the preacher
from a pleasant dream-a dream of hea-
ven-produ:ed by the wings and legs of
Mrs. Aliens fine Percheron chickens.
AS Mr.. Allen tossed and tumbled in his
bed all that night he kept on repeating
ION, yes, a chapter of the Bible is a nice

idential election.

he says, twas to point to the
danger of delaying a settle.

The Times says EDITORIAL.
of the above: "Sir edward
Clarke's letter is an adequate
answer. He showed a cur
ious ignorance of the element
of the controversy when h

FIRE BALLS LIGHTED THE SHIP
Making Repairs by the Light Fur
nished by an Electric Storm.

Making Repairs by the Light Fur
nished by an Electric Storm.
One of the most remarkable electrical
storms at sea, which probably seemed
intensified by reason of the fact that a
cargo Of Spanish iron ore passed
through it, was experienced by the
British steamship Mercedes, which ar
rived recently from Bilbao, says the
Philadelphia Record On the Grand
Banks of New Foundland during the
nights of December 3D. and 4th the
ocean appeared like mighty mass OF
flames or an endless stretch Of prairie
fires. Balls of electric fire hissed ana
exploded in all directions and darted
among the vessels masts and rigging.
The Mercedes escape from going
down on December 1st seemed little
short of miracle. She was struck by
a south-southwest gale, which was ac-
companied by seas rolling fearfully
high. During the hight of the storm
huge deck derrick, weighing. many
tons, was torn loose from its fastenings
and swept overheard, leaving a hole
in the vessels deck through which the
water ran into the cargo. In it's course
it carried away the main topmast,
which was also Of iron; part of the fly
ing bridge, the after winch and part oc
the deck fittings. The decks were
flooded with tons of water, and the ship
rolled at an angle of seventy degrees.
and the sea broke in all directions, fill
ing The cabin and the officers quarters.
Soon afterward the storm partially
subsided, when the electrical fire ap-
reared in All directions Tt hung IN
big balls for two nights from the masts
and fore and aft stays, and practically
turned night into day. AS the big fire
balls came together they would burst
with loud report upon the vessel and
disappear. Under this light at night
such temporary repairs were made as
were deemed necessary to reach port.
Captain TAFT OF the Mercedes stated
that the passage was one OF the most
trying experiences of his life.

Improper Novels.

But il the didactic novel offends
against the laws of art. the pseudo-re-
alistic novel offends against laws of de-
cency One is amazed sometimes at the
frequency with which, in an age that
shudders at the outspokenness OF
Shakespeare and shrinks from the plain
dealing of Fielding, stories only to be
described as ineffably nasty are admit
ted to the chaStest drawing-rOom ta-
bles. Sometimes these stories are writ
ten by young girls, who prattle with
naive audacity of things they ought not
to know; sometimes they are written by
grown women, who believe in emanci-
pating their sex by depriving it Of mod
esty; sometimes they are written by
men, who have the hysterical tenden-
cies Of women or who are base enough
to traffic in corruption. BY whomever
written, they sell; and while they sell
they are bound to multiply. wish we
had a literary inquisition-some means
of getting together all the novels of this
kind known to exist, and burning them
with appropriate ceremonies in the
market -place.-Edwa Fuller, in Lip
pincott'S.

misrepresentation takes sensible,
business-like view of the matter Of the
Pacific Railroad indebtedness. The
comments of the Tribune" which we
published in full several days ago, are
cool, collected, and fairly reflect the
business sentiment of the people of the
East in the matter of the adjustment
of the indebtedness. That journal says
that the line of division is clearly be-
tween the policy of Federal own
ership and operation of the trans
continental lines by the Government,
and the readjustment of the Indebted
ness upon business principles, just as
similar complications between corpora
tions and private individuals should be
adjusted; precisely as such matter
between creditor and debtor would be
settled; that is, so as to insure the
former the best return possible. having
in view the latters ability to pay.
It will occur TO the dispassionate and
thoughtful that this is the only sensi-
BILE and practical way out. What hap
pened thirty years ago, as the "Tri-
bune' we'll remarks, has nothing to do
with the present conditions, and should
have mo bearing upon the judgment
that ought to be now arrived at upon a
purely business basis. The thrashing
over of old straw will accomplish moth
ing, except to embitter prejudices and
obscure the judgment of to-day. The
closing remarks Of the Tribune" upon
the subject of funding the debt are
worthy of being again printed:
when it is considered that the Cen
trail Pacific has fully complied with
every provision of the statutes, and
that the simple question is as to the
best method for making its debt secure
leaving entirely aside the by no means
unimportant fact that the Government
has in thirty years saved more than
the entire Pacific Railroad debts in the
single item of it's own transportation
this would seem to be about aus clean
cut and concise a business proposition
as could well be offered. Between indi-
viduals or business corporations there
would be no hesitancy about its prompt
acceptance. Only one thing stands in
the way of it. That is the disposition
of a few demagogues in Congress, who
under the rules have the power of OBJ
struction, to stave off action, in the
hope of making further political capital
by the agitation of the plan of Govern
ment control and management. And
that scheme is fuller of mischief than
any that was ever presented to the
American people"
