get him. BY the phrase, "cheap

he was in reach Gf the church,
and that he was circulated II do

is no such thing aS a cheap

has been construed. The same

a Man Of Family Pride who aIet with
n Surprise.
a. Washington man who prides, him
self upon his family connections IS Just
recovering from an attack Of nervous
prostratioH, says the Star. This man
lately became possessed of the idea of
constructing a family tree, feeling as
surcd he could produce a growth that
would dwarf the giants Of the Caiifor-
Ma forests into insignificance. lie be-
gan on one branch Of his family, and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran various shoots and offshoots,
with many feeling of pride. With re-
newed interest he went to work on an
other branch of his growing tree, and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike great
grandfather who had died from stran-
gulation brought on by rope en-
circling his throat, his death occurring
in the presence of large gathering of
curious people, who had taken q day off
during harvest time in order to see the
hanging. BY this time the man of fam
lily pride had become intensely disgust
ed with genealogical investigations, but
all that his friends knew of his disap-
pointment was the fact that he re-
manned away from the busy haunts Of
his fellows for several weeks, and the
family physician gave out the informa-
ton that he was the victim of severe
case OF nervous prostration.

Cake Walk and Dance.

There were so many colored people
in town yesterday the streets looked
like Lawrence or Topeka For miles
around they flocked here to attend
the cake walk aud dance given by
the local cnlored aristocracy. There
were delegates of strapping young
fellows from all the neigh boring
towns, accompanied by their girls.
Nearly all of them were nice looking,
we'll dressed, well behaved, and their
conduct could easily be initiated 10y
many of the lighter skinned lords of
creation
TIE chief event of the evening at
the opera house was grand bail,
but to warm up the blood and limher
the muscles, cake walk was given
first, for which two prizes, cakes,
were offered for the first aud second
best pedestrians. One of the require
ments OF "A good cake walker Is that
he must not be shy and stiff, but
must put all the monkey shines into
his supreme pOliteness toward his
lady. When the walking was over
the judges awarded the first prize to
G. J. Williams, of Burlington, and
Lizzie CLANCY, of Burlington, and the
second prize to Lewis Brady, of
Humboldt, and Ella Matthews, of
Garnett After the cake walk the
orchestra waXed very persuasive and
until 2:3O this morning the young peo-
pie danced with tireless energy and u
crowd of white spectators showed
nearly the same energy in watching
the performance.

When we read of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of
man who will travel round the world and
endure all manner of hardships, in order to
court death in far away jungle. A man
does not have to make journey to India
in order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native viii
