to him BY woman almost six feet
high, weighing nearly 200 pounds.
"Cy Jones?' she queried.

him warning"
"What's Cy Jones been doing"'

"Did you ever see Cy Jones:' asked
the woman, after she drew herself
up.
'sNot that know off,
She was gone moment, and when
she returned she was carrying man
about feet, 10 inches long under her
arm. She gave him a twist and put
him on his feet and said:
''This is Cy Jones'"
"Your husband?" stammered the
White Capper.
"The same, and I am Cy Jones
wife!"

mistake here, madam"

as she tossed the little man in her
arms.
"Sorry to have disturbed you, ma am

And placing the little man carefully
on his feet she picked up the caller
and tossed him over the gate and went
back TO her work III the kitchen.

'but l am Obliged to call your atten.
ton to the fact that line in one OF
my recent compositions was entirely
perverted and the meaning painfully
distorted by the compositor."
"Young man. replied the editor,
"that compositor has gone through
more poems than you ever wrote or
read. He has put in his life getting
up poetry Of all kinds, spring and
fall styles, and heavier goods for
winter. He may have changed your
poem-but when you say he harmed
it, you presume. When a man of his
experience makes up his mind to
change piece of poetry, a person in
your position should remember the re-
spect that Is due to superior know
ledge and not attempt to criticise."

Good Words for Burton.

Among the many words Of COM
mendation and praise that have been
showered on J. K. Burton, the follow
ing from the Topeka Democrat are
particularly valuable. They come
from lifelong Democrat, Col. W. P.
Tomlinson, and are the testimonial
Of political opponent. Mr.. Burton
made the principal speech at the
opening Of the Shawnee county cam.
paign and the Democrat says:
"Hon. j. X. Burton, Of Abilene,
was the closing speaker. Mr.. Bur-
ton, who was at his best, spoke for
upwards Of an hour, holding through
out his highly thoughtful and elo-
quent address the close attention OF
the audience. There was no clap
trap about the address; nothing ut
tered merely for effect The mastery
talk was more that OF earnest, per-
suasive teacher Of political economy
than that of mere politician. The
silver question, the chief uses of
money, the need Of the elevation Of
the standard Of political sentiment,
the great advantages and enviable
future OF Kansas, and other themes,
were in turn discussed by Mr.. Burton
in any easy, quiet style, yet the skill
and eloquence of the scholar and ora
tor, throwing flood of light on the
subject.
ut is scarcely necessary to say
that Ralph Burton is growing man.
he has matured and developed great
ly during the past eight or ten years.
He is more than an orator. He has
developed the skill and sagacity of a
successful political general. The fact
can not be disputed. The Abilene
orator, today, is the leader Of the Re-
publican party in the state. Combin-
ing all the graces of oratory, he stands
without peer upon the rostrum. A
close student Of politics, standing as
a modern Saul a head and shoulders
above other men, it is easy to predict
that Ralph Burton will in the great
campaign next year be the leader and
central figure in the Republican
party"

Pops Very Quiet.

Among all the reports that come
from Populist picnics in the county
there Is none that tails Of q mention,
by the honorable gentlemen who have
undertaken to address the people. OF
the record Of the Populists in the leg
islature last winter. They talk Of
the future and paint the skies Of the
goth century with vermillion hues
but they do not tell what the Peoples
Party has actually accomplished when
1t was placed in power and given 3
chance to show the stuff in it.
Anybody can MAKE promises-it
takes political integrity to fulfill
them. The Pops have made promises
since 1890. Indeed they have done
little else than make all sorts OF
promises and predictions Of the
glories that they would shed on man
kind. They made the most attractive
promises Of all last fall and the state
rather expected to enter on a legisla-
tive millennium il the Pops won.
They won-in every branch of the
state government--and they have
been busy ever since trying to explain
and excuse the record OF boodling, in
competence, bungled legislative pro-
ceedings, bad appointments, wasted
money, time, unsuccessful warfare
on business institutions, a wrecked
college, etc, etc, until the list is too
long to print all in one day.
About all this the Pop orators are
very, very quiet. They are wise to
be SO. That is their best play at this
time.
But the people have not forgotten.

For Postal Savings Banks.

The people Of this country, especi-
ally in the large cities, need postal
savings banks and the Republican
party proposes to give it to them.
Postmaster General Gary has come out
strongly for it.
Mr.. Gary believes that public con-
venience emphatically demands the
opening under federal supervision of
small and easily accessible savings
institutions everywhere throughout
the country, and he can see no oh
stacle to the satisfaction of this
acknowledged popular want by means
OF some slight and thoroughly feas-
IDLE extensions of the existing machin-
cry of postal administration.
~ am in favor Of the postal savings
bank plan" Mr.. Gary is quoted as
savlngin a recent interview, "because
! believe it will confer great benefits
on the people who live in out-of-the-
way places where they are deprived
Of all banking facilities. II put in
operation, it will bring out many
thousands, perhaps millions, Of money
now boarded away in chimneys,
stockings or stoves, and will give
thousands Of people an interest in the
government. 1t is said that a nation
al debt is national blessing; but
national bank of this kind would be
even more Of one."
The postmaster general then enum-
crates the other advantages of
system of small savings banks con-
trolled by the central federal power
security, accessibility, ease of ex-
change when wor king conformity with
the present postoflice order bureaus,
cheapness of operation and practical
non'interference with the functions of
the larger loan, discount or savings
institutions. Postal savings banks
should be inaugurated by the next
session OF congress.

Speaking of self-sacitice

Speaking of seli-sacitce there was
an illustration of it in the Emporia
wreck. A Newspaper reporter carried

stood by and looked on. 10 glorify
Bryan the reporter telegraphed his
paper that Bryan did the kind act and
worshipers are praisiug the silver
champion for it. Bryan only did
what any man would have done. He
never was in any danger-he was rid
ing luxuriously in the sleeping car.
1t was the great plain people" in
the common cars who suffered.

How About HANNAH

Clay Center Times: Why the row
on Senator Hanna at this particular
timer What is the particular thing
he did, or has been doingp What is
the indictment the Solomon City
Silver club would bring against the
manp What accusation has the
Dickinson county Pop central COM
mittee to makep Hanna is the same
man today he was when he became a
candidate. Everybody in this county
knew him then, everybody knows
him now, but no better than then.
He was good enough to run right
along up with his ticket then; it is
cowardly to now visit punishment in
general way on man who cannot
defend himself. Any Pop who voted
for him last November and is beefng
now is long-eared donkey, and a
convention that will accuse without
specification, blacken without item
izing is cowardly. Make the charges
against him more positive and GER
tain, and definite.

1t seems now that it is the poor
farmers who are being "intimidated."
Last fall the Popocrats assumed that
the workingmen were protesting
friendship for the Republicans because
they feared dismissal If they did not,
but the election showed that there
was no foundation for this assertion.
Now Mr.. Bryan says it is last years
threat Of foreclosure that is leading
farmers to pay off their mortgages.
As Lincoln remarked concerning
Grants whisky, it would not be bad
thing if everybody could have the
same kind of "intimidation."

Rainmakers in this country have been
apparently inactive this season, but a
drought would have revived interest in
their plans and theories. In Europe
their experiments have attracted more
attention. Germany offers reward Of
$4,000 to anyone who can produce q
downpour of rain at moderate expense,
1t is suggested that inventors in this
line should also discover how to stop
excessive rains, with resulting floods.
The favorite devices for rainmaking
thus far are cannon explosives, balloons
that burst at an elevation, compressed
gases and electric connections between
The clouds and the earth.

The rapid increase Of urban popu1a'
ton by the depletion Of the rural dis
tricts, says an exchange, is one of the
dangerous tendencies Of the present
day. The recognition Of the necessity
of a proper proportion between rural
and urban population is not new. As
early as 1889, in Philadelphia, a
society was formed by prominent men
Franklin and Washington were
among the number-for the purpose
of encouraging those agricultural in
terests without which no country can
hope for permanent prosperity. Yet,
Notwithstanding all that has been said
and done by the promoters Of farm
life, the cities have grown at the ex-
pense Of the country.
