ston's Breakfast food for breakfast
and asked his wife to cook some for
him. She consented. and he went out
and purchased by mistake package
of Ralstcn's pancake flour instead of
the breakfast food. His wife made
the mush from the flour according to
directions given her, but somehow
the mush refused to thicken even af-
ter half an hours cooking, but it was
decided it was done. The young hus-
band managed to eat his portion,
though he afterwards confessed it went
down rather hard. 1t was not until
some lady friends called that after
noon that the mistake was discovered.
Ellis Review-Headlight
If the Republicans would stand
closely by their party papers as the
Populists do, there would soon be no
Populist party. They realize the
need of building up their papers and
see that they get a hearty, healthy
support. There is the whole secret of
their party success. Do you often see
a Populist place an advertisement in
l Republican paper? On the other
hand Republican business men a.
ways give the opposition as much
patronage as they do their own party
papers and usually more. Is there
,nything fair about it? You cannot
axpect your party papers to carry the
he burden and receive no more en-
enlargement than the opposition
sets.-Smith County Pioneer.
I'm this county most of the leaders
If Gne Populist party won't read
Republican paper, while the Repub-
iicans support the pop organ literally.
Ne think it is about time for TIE Re
publican leaders to boycott the pop
paper, thereby giving them dose of
IF their own medicine.l

In a lecture at Topeka recently
Rev. John E. Roberts. of Kansas City,
told the following story, which

that as Sunday school teacher he
once gave every boy in his class dol

do with it in a business way during
the week The next Sunday he asked
for reports from the class. and the
first boy on his feet was Johnny Jones.
WELL" encouragingly inquired the

sententious response, made another
dollar with it, .sMade another dol

s-welI. that is indeed remarkable.
A nd now. boys. let this be an ever re-
membered lesson to you- A good bus
mess man is almost certain to be a
good Christian With this fiattering
tribute to Joilnny's capacity the
teacher proceeded to the next boy in
the line. with the inquiry: 'sWhat /
did you Go with your doliar?'' Lost j
