Should keep themselves healthy and espec-
ial care should be given to this matter at
this time. Health depends upon pure,
rich blood, for when the blood is impure
and impoverished diseases Of various kinds
are almost certain to result. The one true
blood purifier is Hoods Shramrilla. By
it's power to purify and vitalze the blood
it has proved itself to he the safeguard Of
health, and it has wonderful power over
disease. 1t actually and permanently
cures when all other preparations fail to do
any good whatever.

ring to the rings OF Jupiter or some such
unimportant statement.
He threw the paper to one side in care
less way, and after supper he noted with
an unholy glee that Mrs. Jopkins had
secured it and was running her eye over
the bargain ads and working her way after
the manner Of her sex, through the per-
sonals, marriage notices and locals back to
the telepraphic dispatches.
Presently Jopkins observed sudden and
suspicious frown overcast her face. She
had come upon the hiatus made by his
waggish penknile. Jopkins revealed with
internal hilarity, but preserved an outward
appearance OF innocent Inconsistencies.
"My DEAR" said Mrs Jopkins, laying
the paper gently aside, "I'm going to run
over to Mrs. Hopkins a minute. won't
be gone long"
She went over to the next door neigh
boris, and while she was gone Jobkins had
lots OF fun. She came back presently, and
Jopkins noticed she carried another paper
under her shawl She went upstairs and
JOpkins leaned back in his chair and shook
all over with Joy.
BEST joke | ever got off," he said to
himself. "Wonr sne he ,old when tell
herr"
Mrs Jopkins remained upstairs about
twenty minutes, and when she came down
she had on her hat and street dress, and
JOpkins felt his knees shake when he
looked into her eye.

"Wh-where are you going?" he asked.
Where am l going!' said his wife.
"You want to know where | am going,
you decetful, dsreputable, underhanded,
depraved, villainous. brutal, wicked I'M
principled, scandalous, abandoned monster?
am going home to my mother"
WHATS the natter" said Jopkins.
Look at thatu' said Mrs. ,Jopkins,
thrusting the paper in his face. Cut ii
out to hide from me, did you? To think
that should ever have married such a
ruffianr'
Jopkins looked where her finger pointed
and read:

TWO SIDES OF THE MATTER.

.'opkins had read somewhere that il a
woman got hold of newspaper with a
until she had procured complete paper
and read the missing item. This struck
Jopkns as very shrewd and Machiavillian
plan of exposing this well-worn weakness
of lovely woman, and resolved to put it
into practice.
So that night when he went home from
the store there ostentatiously protruded
from his coat pocket the days paper, from
which he had neatly cut paragraph refer

The sweetest woman in the world becomes when
The which tries the soul of all hoe-oving
When soap and wet and sop and and dire confusion
reign,
And the god of cleanliness she dedicates her brain
IT'S then feels that marriage may dire failure be-
And in the secret soul perhaps he wishes he free
She the carpet up with vim and yields the lustv
brush
The puts up his fuzzy back and vacates with rush.
The dog with tail half mast skuks out and hides himself
away;
He knows the racket she is will last for many day.
The sage old spiders their lives by fleeing the cracks
And all the flies that wintered through fall prone upon their
backs.
All the old and easy shoes and hats that fit your head
The magazine you've Just looked through and circulars
unread
She sells for Junk" and when you ask, with mild and
pensve air.
Where they have gone she looks at echo
"Where?"
And though you should get mad and swear it wouldn't
change her plan
She won't have such old rubbish round! lust like shift
less MANI
And then she pins her gown up 'front.' determined in her
men,
Which says that though the heavens fall she shall go on
and clean
Cold rooms cold dinners chilly BEDS cold SOFAS ice cold
chails
smell of varnsh everywhere tacks the slippery stairs!
Wet rugs waylay you at each turn, cold winds riot
through
The empty halls-ses airing off, her nose CONCEALED and
blue
She skins her knuckles her nails head and body
ache
But she happy for she knows her house would tae the
cakep
No nook has escaped order settles DER
That domce from attic down to clean swept cellar floor
And though that womans almost dead her forehead is
serene
Because she knows let what may that house of her
is clean.

ASSESSMENT TOO HIGH.
Wyandotte County Files a Protest
Before the Board of Equalization.

A delegation of citizens from Wyan-
dotte county appeared before the state
board of equalization today and pro-
tested against the contemplated raise
in the assessment of property in that
county. The delegation was composed
of Congressman Peters, E. S. Merrill,
chairman county commissioners; A. L.
Berger, county auditor; Harry Darling
ton, city assessor; Chief of Police
Quarles, William Brown and w. S.
Beard.
In protesting against the contemplate
ed raise the delegation claimed that the
assessment was already too high and
that the comparison with the assess
ment of Shawnee county was unfair
because of the large acreage of this
county. They stated that the small
assessment of personal property was
due to the fact that 80 per cent of the
population of Wyandotte county were
employees of large corporations, own
ing practically nothing, and that the
heads of the corporations live for the
most part in Missouri.

WON'T UPSET THINGS.
Old Postoffice Carriers Will be Re
stored as Vacancies Occur.

There will be few changes in the To-
peka postoffice and Postmaster Arnold
will serve out his term. Congressman
Charles Curtis is authority for both
these statements.
Il have made every effort to have the
old carriers reinstated," said he. THAT
has not yet been done, but 1 am still
in hopes that it will be-
When asked whether such an action
would result in the present carriers be
ing displaced he said: 1T would be
necessary to reduce some of them to the
positions of subs if the old men were
given their places. There are only nine
of the old men now to be considered,
so it would not make a great many
changes if they were put back. 1t
may be that when they are reinsta ted
they will be placed simply on the eligi
BILE list and be given the places as va
cancies occur, but 1 am not prepared
to say just what will be done. There
will be no wholesale discharges in the
postoff1ce''
When asked whether Postmaster Ar
mold would be allowed to serve out his
term, he said: Yes, L am satisfied that
Mr.. Arnold will not be nolested until
his term expires. It is the rule of the
department that unless charges are
filed nothing will be done, and am sat
isfied that he will hold until February"

CRANE ANSWERS sTRYkER.
Says Stryker Wanted to Take All
Schoolbook Business Away
From Kansas.

State Superintendent Stryker who has
returned from an eastern trip, has given
out the following interview:
1.-The only disagreeable feature about
our contracts is the fact that 1 find that
Crane & Co. are having their readers
printed in ST. Louis. Crane was given
some preference when the contract was
let because his was a Kansas concern
and we favored patronizing home in
dustry. Now that that part of the work
let to him is going out of the state, am
very much disappointed and L think
other members of the board are"
When Mr. Crane was shown the in
terview he said:
Yes; it is true, that little work is
being done in st. Louis, but it is some
work that could not be done here. and
it does not amount to much. AS far is
Mr.. Stryker is concerned he has no
room to talk, for if he had had his way
he would have sent all the printing to
Chicago. He said in his Office that if he
had it to do, he would not allow any of
the printing to be done by Kansas
house, but would send it all to Chica-
co.

GET THEIR CAD" OUT.
More in the "Whereas" Than in the
Resolution.

The board of county commissioners
has passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, The county commissioners
of Shawnee county, Kansas, have been
enabled to reduce the expenses of the
county more than 100000 during the
year ending, June 80, 1897, therefore,
be it
''ResoIved That they, for themselves
and the taxpayers, hereby extend to
the several officers of the county their
sincere thanks for the cordial support
and efficient assistance given them in
effecting that reduction of expenses; be
it further
Resolved that a copy of these reso-
1utions be given to each of the officers
of the county"
The county commissioners may have
reduced expenses $50, 900, but nobody
has noticed any reduction in taxes.
