just before election last fall he was

Drifting into q political discussion, he
said Texas would go for silver but that
his fellows would elect their man.
Then he said as soon as election was
over he would bid this country .adieu
and depart for the manufacturing dis
triclS where he would make some
\u0ney. He went as le promised, but
afew days ago Devier received u card
frEm him announcing his return. He
sDys that Immediately after election
there was just little trade, y little
squirt" of business. But now the big
establishments are standing there lone
with the window glass broken
out and cobwebs hanging from the cor

Rev. W. &. Todd, of Wichita, filed

on Sunday evening. Rev. TODD is a
man who has name in the affairs of
the State. He is an idealist of the
pronounced type, man who lives in
the future and yet who we'll under
stands the profound importance of
making ones ideallsm harmonic with
the practical, and thus become OF
present utility. He was superinten'
dent of thu Blind ASYLUM at Wyan
dotte few years ago and as such was
the most successful man it has ever had
in It,. His sermon Sunday night was
on "The Voyage of Life" He took up
the various phenomina and instruments
of sea voyage and wOve them into
beautiful figure typical Of the incidents
of life. For example, he said some
peoples lives may be represented by
the steam boat. others by the sail boat.
The former may be typical Of those
whose every movement and action is
guided from within, from their inher-
itance If character and passion.
While these men may not have the char
scter in the degree essential to genius
they are nevertheless of the class from
which genius springs. The sail boat
typiHes the susceptible, those who are
steered and directed by external cir
cumstanees. They are the pliable, the
pleasant, those who make tine world
