.THE HEART OF JAPAN"
Bradstreet Lecture NJ Park COngre-
gationaI Church a Brilliant Sue

cess.
The J. S. Bradstreet lecture on Through
the Heart of Japan was given last even
ing in the Park Congregational church. 1t
is to be doubted if that sacred edifice ever
sensed such a redundancy of delicacy and
richness, warmth and color, as was crowded
within those staid walls, to watch the views
of quantity, serious Japan. Perhaps it was
the churchiy atmosphere; perhaps enthusiasm
is incongruOus with satin shoulders cleaning
beneath the lace and fur of rose-lined capes
perhaps it was the well-bred air of social
prominence which prevented any display of
even moderate interest in the wonderful
beauty in the exQuisitely colored views. There
was also the added reason that throughout
the evening no touch of humor made this
land kin to fair Japan.
The first murmur of appreciation which
stirred the stoical silence of the audience
was over the sweet serious face of charm
ing japanese girl in gala attire. Over the
vivid greenery of the tea fields there a
fiutter distinctively feminine. But the mind
was swept away by sense of delight in the
glimpse Of a superb avenue of trees leading
from Toxic, and distinct impression was
conveyed of the painstaking art individual
to the Japanese when the Bridge of the
Makadas" was shown. 1t was over this bridge
that Gen. Grant was invited to pass when
ON his trip around the world, and he, of
course. modestly exercising his diplomacy,
refused. Most superb views of interiors and
gateways to temples were exhibited
A grand conception was obtained of the
adorable coloring and old world types of pic
turesquesness. and of the general trend of the
ornamentation and the limitations of their
religious art, which confines itself TO the
regulations set centuries since, and exists
in age-endowed beauty at the present.
Mr.. Bradstreet was thoroughly conversant
with his theme, giving his explanations much
as if 1t were all an old, old story to him. 1t
doubtless from the lack Of vital magnetic
interest that he was at times rather vaguely
uninteresting
From a social. phiIanthropic and education
al point of view, the lecture was an undoubt-
ed success. The reception. which followed,
brilliant in the extreme. Many of the
ladies assisting Mrs. FOgg at her reception
went at once to the lecture. The entire
church llled and the Young Women s
Friendly association has received part of the
much needle aid which should be extended

all melted and our pie will be full of
ants; and our cloths will be torn to
tatters and our faces and hands will be
red, from the touch of poison ivy on
which we laid our head; and we come
home tired and surly with wish we'd
never been born, we'll be cross with

hie to the woodland, so we must all hie
along. .-Cimarron Jacksonian.

TALKED BACK.
Mr.. Wiener Defends Kansas Against the
ISLANDERS of Fasteners.

Mr.. Wiener Defends Kansas Against the
ISLANDERS of Fasteners.
On Tuesday of this week j. D. Vie
ner returned from an extended trip in
the east. having visited our manufac
turing and jobbing centers during his
stay. Mr.. Wiener, being close OBJ
server Of men and things, recites many
interesting experiences of his trip.
Aside from business in general and
matters pertaining to his line special.
ly, the most popular subject in hand
seemed to be the election results past
and legislative possibilities future.
'Kansas, he says, comes in for her
full share OF attention, and receives
cism at the hand of the ignorance east.
''Yes, it must be ignoranct in its
grossest scope which could enable men
to talk about Kansas as they do.
Did get hot? Well, not exactly
hot; but, altogether. not unlike our
thermometer in July-a slight affection
Of rising temperature, quickly normal
lied by applying a little red-hot Kan
sas common sense to the BostOnian
narrow head.
The fact Of the matter is that nine
ty-nlne out of every hundred fasteners
when kicking ON Kansas don't know
what they are talking about, any
more than they know about list
ing corn or raising prosperity. Anyone
the least wise up to date concerning
Kansas, has no trouble to show these
arrogant fellows that our state, while
not boarding millions of money, yet is
ahead and superior to their common
wealth in many important respects. 1t
is conceded by those who deal extern
sively with Kansas merchants that they
experience fewer losses by commercial
failures in Kansas than in any other
state of proportionate business trans
acted, In recent years, Kansas merch-
ants have outranked all others in the
matter of prompt payment. Merch'
ants of no other state have a higher
standing of credit than do those Of
Kansas.
LET me say to you that the gist of
all this kick on Kansas originates at
home, with the fellow who. as we put
it here, lis out and wants to get in. -
1t is the reckless irresponsible, any
thing for.office politician. who at home
raises the hue and cry against his OWL
state, and this ass's bray is only tC
readily taken up by his eastern pal, who
with much coloring and largely added
imaginations. flaunts these lies and
abrications on vur grand and progress
sive state.
However, l have always said we
can stand that kind of business longer
than the other fellow. and the future
will prove that the east must and will
come down to Kansas; for Kansas
courage, Kansas endurance, Kansas
! ingenuity and Kansas productive ener
| gies will yet vanquish greed and avar
ice. falsehood and bigotry, and by hel
own and unaided efforts take hei
place as the brightest star on our ma
tional hoizon. .''-Hutchinson Bee.
Mr.. ]. D. Weiner has many friends
| in Barton county who are interested in
knowing that he is still one of thoes
loyal citizens who ''stand up for Kan
sas' for other than political reasons.
