The old year is slowly sliding out.
For the most part she has given US
many blessings, and we won't be so
uugratefnl as to NOT drop her a
single leaf of praise. Her death
knell is being sounded by the fall
ing leaves, the withering flowers
and the crispness of the air. SYM
pathetic night is dropping the pur-
pie pail of twilight upon her, the
watchful stars make long rays
downward, to catch a last fond
glimpse of such loveliness, and the
dew in silence weep over her like
children for their mother. Play
the funeral march.

his shop work. o. Cone travels for Casey
and Garst OF this city and makes Cheney.
Mr.. Cone sent out postal cards announc-
ing his trip beforehand to his patrons.
He writes on this card three words-the
day OF the week he expects to arrive at
any place and his signature. Mr.. Coul-
tons wife had been at Wichita for some
time taking medical treatment. Last Fri
day week Mr.. Cone sent out his cards
as usual and Mr.. Coulton got one. It
read: Monday. o. Cone" Mr.. Coulton
was looking for intelligence from his wife
every day, and as it happened he had had
40 word for three or four days. When
le got the travelling mans card he read
II. Monday, o Come" He upbraided the
postmaster in three snort breaths for
keeping the card all week and said his
wife might be dead. as she had written
Monday saying for ilim to come. He ran
away from the postmaster. who was try
ng 10 explain, went home. packed his
grip and was on the depot platform ready
to take the train for Wichita before he
could ne shown that the card was simply
a travelling mans signal, meaning that
Mr.. Cone would be there on the following

A nI-EER SIGNATURE.


It is considered harder TO squelch
aote1 clerk than TO get elected TO office,

city a few nights ago and IS setting them

Il the affable and urbane clerks at a well
known hosiery was standing at the desk
leaning on the register about train time
Shen a we'll dressed and evidently much
travelled stranger walked in. deposited his

Y Frustrated to make out the meaning Of
the hieroglyphios being outlined on the

made a series OF vertical lines on the page
and putting up the pen asked 10 be shown
10 his room at once. This is the way the
name appeared as he left it; Il l. l.

vaguely began 10 realize that he was be-
ing worked somehow. and cynicaily re-
marked 10 the guest that the hotel regis

tice penmanship. and If he desired TO take
lessons in architectural drawing and
draughting he would he furnished with

SwEATS ON THE SIDE.


There is a well known merchant in the
CITY who has peculiar physical affliction
that amounts to a natural phenomenon.
Though a vigorous. healthy specimen of
manhood and rarely ever sick, mis- perspi-
ratory functions are a little out OF the
ordinary. He sweats only on one side.
For instance his hat band SHOWS distinct
line of separation, the left side being al
ways soiled, while the right side is clean
as the day he bought il. \ clearly de-
fined line straight down from the center
of his forehead all through his body d.
vides the damp portion from the dry. One
cheek, one temple, one arm and one

not show even mist. All other func-
tons Of the skin work ali right and he
suffers no especial Inconvenience from il.
and physicians. while they confess being
baffled at this strange freak of nature,
say ne never will. The only explanation
ne can offer is that several years ago he
was playing polo on the ice with young
nephew, and IN a moment OF excitement
in the play gave a vicious lurch with his
cue striking the boy on the head. render
ing him unconscious. The uncle was badly
frightened and picked the boy up to carry
him home. More in sympathy than any
other accounting for it. he noticed that
the perspiration had started profusely
over him on the side corresponding TO the
side where he had hit the boy. while there
was none on the opposite side. From that
hour to this It mas remained in that IN
usual condition. Probably the nerves Of
the sabacious glands were partially paral-
wed on the of side and hindered the nat
ural working Of these functions

FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.

The reading of the daily papers by the
people gtnerally has had the effect Of pro-
ducing a high order of hero worship for
the returned soldier boys, whether OF not
they saw actual service. The volunteer
is looked upon as one worthy Of great and
enduring respect. One day one well
known and philanthropic lady in this city
received a door bell ring and upon an
swering it was accosted by a young lady
Of solemn demeanor for a subscription for

VENERABLE SKILLET.

One OF the most interesting OF relics
owned and preserved IN che city is an
old skillet which has done service in every
war which this young republic has had,
save only the recent skirmish with Spain.
L is owned by Mrs. Ben Piummer. her
self now an old lady. but active and VIC
orous and SIN fun of life. living At Sol
South Emporia avenue. This common
place article OF kitchen utility has his
tory as interesting as venerable. L was
first carried. among other camp utensils.
by her grandfather in the column % Gen
eral Washiugton's army during the war
% the Revolution. Later. il he war OF
1872. her father carried * all through thRt
conflict: stil later her brother used II
through the Mexican war. and finally ne-
husband took il while in the federal army
during the war OF the rebellion. Thus this
venerable and useful article has served in
every war ,hss nation has had up 10 the
one now pending peace settlement.
