Seein' Things.

I amt afeard Nv snakes, or toads, or
bugs, or worms, or mice,
An things, at girls are skeered Nv /
thing are awful nicei
I'm pretty brave, l guess; an yet 1 hate
For. when I'm tucked up warm an snug
an when my prayers are said,
Mother tells me Happy dreamsv' and
takes away the light
An leaves me lyin' all alone an seein'
things at night!
Sometimes they're in the corner, some
times they're by the door,
Sometimes they're all a-standin' in the
middle of the floor;
So softly they're a-sittin' down, some
times they're walkin' round
So softly and so creepy like they never
make a sound,
Sometimes they are as black as ink an
other times they're white
But the color amt no difference when you
see things at night.
Once, when l licked a feller at had just
moved on our street
An father sent me up to bed without :
bite TO eat,
/ woke up in the dark an saw things
standin' in row,
A-lOokin' at me crOSS-eyed an p'intin' at
me--SO.
oh, my! I wuz SO skeered that time
never slept mite
It's almost alluz when I'm bad I see
things at night.
Lucky thing. amt girl, or I'd be
skeered to death,
Bein' L m a boy, l duck my head an hold
my breath;
An / am. oh. so sorry I'm a naughty
boy. an then
1 promise to be better an say my pray
ers againi
Gran'ma tells me that's the only way to
make it right
When feller has been wicked an sees
things at night
An so when other naughty boys would
coax me into sin.
I try to skwush the Tempters voice at
urges me within:
An when they's pie for supper or cakes
ats big an nice,
l want to-but do not pass my plate fr
them things twice!
No, ruther let starvation wipe me slowly
out o sight
Than l should keep a-livin' on an seeir'

The American negro poet, Paul Dun

ton in London. His poetry has attract
ed fattering comment in this country
but the color prejudice is greater here
than in England, and so the talented
young man had not the attention in
this country his works deserved. His
poetry has become popular in good So

The Abused Potato.

There is no vegetable so delicious as
the potato of we'll cooked, and there is
likewise no vegetable which suffers 50
much at the hands of incompetent
cooks.
New methods are all the time being
invented for cooking cabbage or tur-
nips, or even homely squash, but the
potato is neglected. In families where
| this vegetable comes on the table at
every meal baked to cinders or boiled
hard and watery there is no fondness
| expressed for the dish. A very little
care will render the potato delicious.
In the first place potatoes should al
ways be boiled in their Jackets, which
are especially designed for retaining
the juices and nourishing qualities
otherwise lost. Boiled potatoes should
not be boiled. They should be put ON
in cold water, Salted and simmered
until they are soft and mealy without
bursting their skins. When drained
and dry serve in a folded napkin in
stead OF a covered dish. The boiled po-
tato may be made into a delicious. fluff
by removing the skin, mashing and
beating lightly with not milk, adding
butter and salt This novelty will not
be recognized by the people who have
been accustomed to seeing mashed pc
tatoes come on the table hard, packed
down and unappetizing.
Potatoes may be boiled by cutting
cold Boiled potatoes into leugthwise
slices about a quarter Of an inch thick,
dipping each slice into flour seasoned
with pepper and salt and then placing
in a broiler. When both sides are
nicely Drowned lay on a hot dish and
season again.-Chicago News.

FROM THIRD TO SECOND CLASS.

The first of March 1896 the popula-
tiOn of lola was 1900. The first Of
March 1897 it was 2145. Assessor
Wright conscientiOusly refrained
from enumerating those who had
come into the city since the first of
March, but it is his opinion that our
population now is not less than 2, 400.
1t is certainly conservative to say
that our town has gained 500 in pop
ulation during the past year,-prac-
tically since last August, as the
improvement did not begin until
about that time. We have a sort of
fancy that the returns will not bring
a better report from any lown in
Kansas.
Under the law lola is now entitled
to be organized as a city of the second
class. So far as we can learn, how
ever, the general sentiment is in
favor of postponing such organization
until next year, for the reason that
the change would involve consider
able expense which can be lily afford
ed in the present depleted condition
of the treasury. 1t would be mat
ter of some pride to have lola advanc-
ed to the rank of city of the second
class, but the practical advantage of
it does not seem to be great enough
to Justify the several hundred dollars
of expense that would be involved.
So we will simply take it out in let
ting every body know that we could
be second class city if we wanted
to, and in saving our money to hustle
for thousand more people this year.

DIED: At his home in lola at three
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, April
q, 1897, J. P. McNutt, in the forty
fifth year of his age.
James Preston McNutt was born in
Clarion county, Pa. Nov. % 1852
where he lived until 1879 when he
came to Kansas with his parents,
coming in 1881 to lola where he has
since made his home. He has been
engaged in business as much of the
time as his health would permit since
locating here, and has maintained an
unimpeachable record as man of the
strictest integrity and honor, gaining
the esteem and confidence of all who
became acquainted with him either in
business or social relations. He was
married in March, 1897. to Miss Edith
r. Reese. and the one child that was
born to them died in infancy. The
heartfelt sympathy of all the COM
munity goes out to the stricken widow
in her grief and loneliness. The only
other near relatives are his father, of
Weir City, and his brother, J. M.
McNutt, of Spokane, Wash.
The deceased was devoted member
of the Knights of Pythias, and at his
request the funeral services, which
are to be held at the A. o. U. w. Hall
at 2:3O Sunday afternoon, will be coll

think so try it on once. Let your hair

and start out on the rOad,-and see
how long you will last! The test OF

and as full of gall as ever, offering
back money TO any of his old patients
who were not helped by his medi-
cines and creating as much of furOre
as he did before. And what are you
going to do about it? Here is a Med

hair as long as he pleases and any
kind of clothes he can pay for. The
outcome of that visit may
be found on the second page of this

attend to that, for it was all about
Diamond Dick the Doctor. But it
took two hours to find out something

If you wish to purify your blood
you should take a medicine which
cures blood diseases. The record OF
cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla proves
that this is the best medicine for the
blood ever produced. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla cures the most stubborn cases
and it is the medicine for you to take
if your blood is impure.

short and conflicting, but it seems
certain that both sides have asked
for re-inforcements, so it is fair to
assume that the fight has been about
a draw thus far. Both armies have
shown the most stubborn courage
and the losses have been heavy. The
Greek fleet has destroyed number
of sea port towns. The Powers have
thus far made no sign of interfering.
