War Caused by Omission OF we'd

From the New York Telegram.
A war between Poland and Sweden was
caused by the omission of the word "etcet-
era" in 1854. In that year Polish noble
man became obnoxious to the laws of his
country by reason OF his having commit
ted crime. He fed to Sweden, where
upon John Casimir King Of Poland, wrote
10 Charles Gustavus, King of Sweden, de-
mandng the surrender Of the criminal.
The King of Sweden, on reading the dis
patch, noticed that his own name and IT,
ties were followed by two "etceteras, -
while the name of the King of Poland was
followed by three. The missing "etcet-
era" so enraged the King of Sweden that
he at once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great Bit
terness until 1860. when peace was sign
ed al Olivia, near Rantzig. contempor-
airy writer (Koehowsky) poured out his
lamentations on the war in these terms:
How dear has this 'etcetera been to usl
With how many lives have these two po-
tentates paid for these missing eight let

Advice to Young Men.

The first endeavov of every young
married man should be to provide his
family with home. A little put by
every month out of small salary will
soon make a family independent.
Livery man is lord of his own castle"
but it should be his by deed, instead of
paying rent. Money invested in a home
will bring greater returns in pleasure
and comfort than if spent to crafty
every passing whim. Building a home
for loved ones has saved many a man
from going the downward road, and
given himself and faithful wife peace
and plenty in their declining years.
Those who build wisely for the future
do not have to look back on wasted
opportunities. The husband and wife
must do his or her part. The partners
in the home building must work togeth
er. Very few if any. can be found who
regret having home of their own; but
many there be who wish their aim in
the past had been to provide for the
future. Regrets over past errors are
vain unless they bring future good
Now is the time to lay the foundation.

erty is the one who is ''in> the swim"

to depend on are too numerous to men.
ton. Those who rent do not have the
social advantages of the house holder,
besides ''three moves are as bad as a

IT DOES not seem possible, and is
n 1T at all probable that the voters of
Kansas will turn down an administers
ton that has been so successful in the
way of economic legislation and ad-
ministration of public affairs as has
the present state administration. The
state officers are our public servants;
they are elected to look after the in
terests of the whole people. If they
do this satisfactorily for one term
there lie an unwritten law which says
they are entitled TO hold their posi- :.
tions for second term. And it is our
firm belief that the voters of Kansas
will say: "TheY have done we'll
elect them once more" A large ma
jority of our people ',elleve that way,
aud it only remains for them to ge.
out to the polls on election day and
vote az they believe. There should
not be man of voting age in the
whole county of Barton who will &C
far forget his duty as one member Of
the great commonwealth as to neg.
lect to go to the polls early on cleo
tion day, and not only vote to endorse
the course of our officers for the pss,
two years, but make it his business
