A BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
Marred by the Unsightly Appearance
OF the Old Cemetery

Standing on the summit OF Fifteenth
street hill, one cannot but admire the
landscape that unfolds itself 20 the
spectator Away in the distance is
Saddle Mountain. with the last rem
nant Of snow disappearing under a
hot May sun; the hills and valleys In
,he distance shine forth in their dark
green hues of Oregon's beautiful for
ests Young's river. Lewis and Clark
river, and the distant ocean are like
silver threads among the meadows and
farms. Right before the onlooker Is
the massive stone building, standing
like an ancient castle, overlooking the
water works pond, with its fountain
In the center sending volumes Of water
skyward to come down in a spray
forming beautiful rainDows. Directly
in the foreground in the ravine is the
romantic woodchopper's cabin, with its
low roof--one is wrapt up in admiration
of the beauties before him. Even the
birds seem TO add to the panorama by
singing from the branches Of the trees.
But look to the left-a cemetery-admi-
ration loses some Of its ardor, and the
spectator seems 10 experience a FEELING
of sadness, Looking closer, there is
seen sticking out of the broken ground
a coffin. 4 sold wave strikes the ad-
mirer Of nature. who imagines that he
sees a skeleton; and sure enough, he
sees something resembling 1t very
much-not one. no-two three, four
six! lie sees enough horrors, and Chit
men. too!
At once the enthusiast feels as
though a cyclone had struck him, and
is unable to recall the beauties Of the
other side of the picture. His afternoon
pleasure Is spoiled,

About Surnames.

The origin Of surnames is full Of
curious interests to the antiquarian.
and some funny examples haye been
brought to light by students in this
branch of knowledge. Some of the
names are very queer, and the director
les of every great city furnish many
examples. In Kansas City recently
a firm of veterinary surgeons, was
few years ago in western Kansas Gun
Saltz conducted a drug store. Two
doctors named Hope & Comfort were
partners in physic and their sign must
have cheered more than one patient,
Tighe & Twist were in the rope bust
ness in An eastern town. At one time
it was the custom to christian children
with singular Biblical name like the
famous Praise God Barebones and
Hate Evil Smith, but the most curious
one recorded is that of Eli Lama

facetiously named his first born

of time his wife presented him with
another heir he chrstianed that Que

Anguish Crack bone's friends great
pain to pronounce her name, and the

Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
One year ago Kansas was in the
throes of political campaign, the
streets of every town were filled with
groups of idle men, talking, talking;
some of them shouting hard, times and
bowling calamity. The cry of pros
perlty to come was hooted at as a
thing too remote to think about. The
pessimist was In the saddle; the state
rang with his cry of distress.
One year has passed-a year of
work, and year of good results. a
year of sunshine and of rain. Of
cooling winds across the pralries, of
snow falls when most needed, of plow-
ing and of sowing, of reapiug and of
moving, of working IN the long sum-
mer days and beneath the harvest
moon.
Today Kansas is in the throes of q
campaign of another sort, the greatest
in her history, a campaign of industry
From the Eastern river valleys to the
West where the snowy peaks of the
Rockies may be seen, from the red
lands Of Oklahoma and the Nation to
the plains of Nebraska the song
of the reaper is heard; the whirr
of the moving machine makes merry
music in the farmers ears, while the
rattle and rumble of the threshel
answers the putfings and the pant.
ings of the overworked engines, and
the golden stream of wheat flows in
unbroken gladness from every farm
and hamlet. The noise of the calam.
ity howler is drownded by the shouts
of the weary but happy harvest hands
the croakings of the pessimist are LOST
in the uproar of triumphant industry
the raven-prophecies of the profession
al political decrier are lost in the
joyful clink of the shekels,
This is Kansas's year, This is tht
time of the states re redemption. He
men are realizing their own power ant
are becoming acquainted with the
land they live in. Once the scoff at
the derided, the laughing stock of ths

Kansas, and this is the year of be-
greatness.

A Girl's Shrewd Plan.

A captivating girl who carried lor-
gnette was talking recently to party
of her friends aid her words must have
borne weight, for the other girls were
listening. When girls are not all
talking.at once it's pretty good in
dication that the one who is thus
permitted to monopolize the converse
ton is saying something worth while.
"When feel that a man is becoming
interested in me to the exclusion Of
other girls" said she Of the lorgnette.
II at once put him to test which is
calculated to bring his true nature to
the surface. Of course. you all know
what posers men are, and how they
are on dress parade when the girls are
about. Well my test is this: l make
an engagementwith him to go off some
where at 8 O'Clock in the morning,
Nine men out Of ten will be late. At
that hour of the morning man is
usually disagreeable and hateful. He
will be unshaven, his breath will be
reminiscent Of stale tobacco smoke,
and possibly Of last nights libations.
His conversational powers, usually so
scintillating at night, you will find to
be shorn of their attractions If you
want to look behind the screen of a
mans nversationality, put him to
this teat If he comAs throuph IL unda,

good husband. But I've never seen
one that could stand the test to my
satisfaction, and I've tried it often.

Educational Notes.

Pres. Charles w. Elliott Of HARVARD
University writes in the kindergarten
Magazine: "The instruction Of chill
dren between four aud six is just as
much apart of the public business as
that Of children between six..and eight"
And the eminent clergyman, w. $.
Rainsford. expresses himself in like
terms: "The kindergarten deserves a
very important place i'll the public
school system. 1t is admittedly the
best. indeed the only, method of reach
ing children during those years which
are now by all authorities admitted to
be the most OF all in their lives.''
II have long had deep interest in
the kindergarten, am convinced that
as moral and intellectual force it has
no equal in our modern civilization. -
c. F Carroll, Superintendent of Schools
at Worcester, Mass.
81 have four children. and find that
although they receive the most care
full training which we can give them
in the home, and although they have
there that contact with other children
which is of such great advantage, the
kind of dicipline secured in the kinder
garten is of invaluable aid in establish
ing righ. habits in regard to others,
and that kindly, loving mental atmos-
pbere which is the basis of ali true
living. .'-Luther Gnlick, Y. M. C. A.,
