Dose of Candy.

lie had settled upon system Of rewards
and punishments for the children and felt
that he had solved the whole question of
family discipline. There were certain
things to be done and certain things to be
left undone for a whole week, at the expira-
tion of which he agreed TO bring home a
small box Of candy TO be divided among
such OF the children as had lived up to the
rules and regulations. To be deprived of
candy when the others were eating it he
was sure would be sufficient punishment
to make a repetition of the offense unlikely.
IL worked to a charm the first week
With the promised candy ever in their
minds the four Of them lived such upright
lives, according To the standard set for
children, that each one came i'm for a share
Of the reward. The next week, however,
the novelty had worn off somewhat. and
in moment of thoughtlessness one of
them did something that forfeited his
share Of the candy. The fact was duly i'm
pressed upon him, and when the candy
was brought home he was brought in TO
see It divided among the others.
Huh he exclaimed scornfully when
the box was opened. II don't like that
kind of candy anyway"
Now, here was feature that had not
entered into the calculations of the head
Of the household. If the boy didn't like
that kind Of candy, it was no punishment
20 deprive him of it, Consequently the
only thing TO do was to bring home an
other box containing something that he
did like, and thus 1t happened that the
other children got double supply of can

ment Of the head of the household she
turned up her little nose when the box was
opened and said, even as the boy had said

OF course that necessitated the purchase
Of another box, but it was brought home
with many misgivings. There was some
thing suspicious in the fact that the onl,
one who didn't like the candy was the on,

A coNcelTEp MAN.
Only a Little Change Was Needed to Make
Him Eligible.


Women do not admire conceited men,
and a rather droll story was told to mo q
few days ago that Is quite amusing. Mr..
l., one OF the society men about town,
who thinks himself just "too elegant,
was at reception. He was standing near
the punch bowl that stood In one corner
OF the room, and was twirling his blond
mustache and slipping claret. A group OF
yoang people were standing near him AT
the time. and Miss G., one of the young
women, said merrily, "Ah, Mr.. L., we
were just talking about you.
Saying something nice, presumey'
remarked Mr.. L., with a smile OF salts
faction spreading over his fair complexion.
We'll, perhaps it was" obviously re-
piled the young woman.
"Of course it could not have been other
wise than nice since IL had reference to
me-" answered Mr. l.. oomplacently.
This was too much for witty Miss g.,
and had bomb exploded the party could
not have been more alarmed when they
heard her say seriously, Say, Mr.. L.,
I'd like to marry you"
Marry me- ah Now, would you, real
lyS" and placing down his empty glass,
seated himself on a divan and surveyed
the group with infinite satisfaction.
"Yes, l would indeed, F." the fair one re-
piled, "if-you loved me as much as you
love yourself"
This was so entirely unexpected Mr..
LIS china blue eyes opened wide, his
round chin dropped, and utter consterna-
tion and amazement were depicted on every
feature.
Amid the hearty laugh that followed he
walked quietly away. Perhaps in future
he will endeavor to win esteem by remem
bering that to gain admiration and esteem
is to be utterly unconscious of self.-Pitts-

q. A. r. Men Roast Evans.

The G. A. R encampment was held at
Wichita last week. D. w. Eastman, Of
Emporia, was elected Department Com
mander With the aid of Cy Leland and
Major Hood, Farmer Smith, the only
other formidable candidate, was de-
feated. The State reunion goes to To-
peka, the contest being settled on the
first ballot. Considerable enthusiasm
was aroused over the introduction Of a
resolution requesting the President to
remove Pension Commissioner Evans.
The resolution was introduced by Judge
Thomson, of Burlingame, and was pre-
ceded by the presentation Of memorial
from Sheldon Post, Of Usage City, in
which Evans is charged with permitting
newspapers to revile and censqre sur
Vivors of the late war without cause.
1t also charges that he "ruthlessly and
needlessly wounds the sensiblhties of
loyal soldier citizens by his insinuations
that every one Of them, who applies
under the laws Of his country for a
pension. and having been examined and
placed on the rolls, has done so through
fraud and Misrepresentation. BY this
method, the memorial continues, he at
tempts to make the pension roll a dis
honor and disgrace. II adds:
eve charge him with permitting the
public prints and journals to revile and
censure without cause the surviving he
roes of the Civil war and the defenseless
widows and orphans of our dead COM
rades without rebuke. We charge him
with inexcusable delay in the considera-
tion of meritorious applications; we
charge him with lack of candid and
free judgment in establishing rules in
his department which are intended to
delay conclusions upon applications; we
charge him with unjust and unmanly
criticism Of large class Of pension at
tOrneys, when, through discrimination,
he insinuates that they present perjured
testimony in support Of claims"
The resolution was passed by an unan-
imous vote, there being no one who
felt disposed to oppose it.
A bill was prepared and sent to Con-
gresmen from this State with the request
that its passage be urged. 1t provides
that no liquor may be sold or given to
an inmate of National Military Home
and that while veterans are on furlough
1t can only be given on the prescription
OF physician.
The next encampment goes to Hutch
