That the condition of the people OF
Kansas has vastly improved during
the past twenty years is aptly illus
trated 10 the proceedings of two con-
ventiOns, which were held at the be.
ginning and end of such period.
Last fall a convention was held in
Topeka, at which it was declared
that the government should tax all
incomes over $1,000. In 1876 a con.

patty was held in Topeka, at which it
was declared the government should
tax all incomes over $500. Twenty
years ago the man with an income of
more than 1850 was so exceptionally
well off that he was regarded as a
plutocrat. The limit has advanced

BISHOP IN A Dill EMMA
how the Would-Be Rural Dean Gair-
ed His Desires.

The bishop of Argyle and the isles.
in Scotland, DR.. Mackarness, was a very
large and heavy man, Weighing at least
275 pounds.
On one occasion, accompanied by his
chaplain, Chimney Haldane, he was
making his way through the noun
tains to confirm some children in a far
away village.
The carriage, drawn by strong and
agile mountain ponies, slowly ascend
ing through rocky pass, was suddenly
brought to stand still by a fallen tree.
The highland driver did everything in
his power to get by the obsticle. but
finally had to go for assistance. The
bishop and his chaplain stroIed on.
Now, the chaplain wanted to be made
rural dean, and he thought this an
excellent opportunity to try the bishop
on the subject. The weather was fine,
he view delightful, the bishop appar-
emily in good temper. Why not breach
this subject so near to his heart? The
bishop heard his request, but instead Of
answering him stopped and called at
tention to the effect of the sun on the
mountains
The village was now in sight, but an
unlooked-fOr obstacle presented itself
The little stream, crossed usually by
picturesque bridge, had been so swol-
len by the rains that the bridge ap-
peared like an island in the middle
Here was a quandary. 1t might be
several hours before the carriage ar
rived, and night was coming on.
What are we to do?" asked the
bishop.
MY lord replied the chaplain, "if
you will get on my back l will carry
you to the bridge"
The bishop demurred, spoke of his
weight and the undigrifed appearance
! he would present. But the chaplain
was strong and finally persuaded him
| When fairly in the middle he came to
a full stop
Are you tired, Haldane?" said the
bishop.
mo, my lord, an not tired but I
wish to speak to you again about that
rural deanery."
But, my dear fellow" cried the
bishop in alarm, this is no place to
talk; wait till we get to the other
side"
"On the contrary, my lord, | think
Lnis is an excellent place to talk, for IL
you refuse ne l shall drop you"
The bishop trieu to temporize, but
The chaplain was immovable.
The rural deanery or down you co.
was the fiat, and reluctantly the bishop
gave the chaplain his promise.
+ He kept his promise, too, and after
the deaIh OF Dr.. MaCkarnesS that
same chaplain and rural dean became
his successor, and is now bishop OF

Million little fleecy flakes
Failing from the sky;
When the ground is covered,
And the hedge and trees,
There will De a gay time
For the Chickadees.
Boys are in the school-house
Drawing on their states
Pictures of the coasting- place,
And thinking of their skates;
Girls are nodding knowingly,
Smilingly about,
Thinking of a gay time,
When the school is out.
Three O'Clock, four o'clock,
Bang. goes the bell;
Get your hats and coats and wraps.
Hurry off, pell-meIl!
Bring along the coasters all,
II you want some fun;
Up to the hilltop,
Jump and slide and run!
Steady now! Ready now!
Each in his place!
Here we go, there we go,
Down on a racel

When the fakes fall;
CCast-time, skate-time,
Best time Of all,
