THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY."

THROUGH A GLASS DARkLY."
A lady living in Gypsum township COM
nunicates the following:
When the apostle spoke to the Corinth-
Ian church, 1 suspect he had in mimi a
class of people similar to a large class
now to be found in Kansas. For itrw We
see through a glass darkly," may be as
truly affirmed of the average calamity
bowler Of the present day, who spends
half Of his time bewailing the hard times,
and the balance jealousy sizing up his
neighbors, who prosper after a better or
der than himself. Those who sit idly upon
the corners decrying the hard times. not
only make all times hard for themselves,
but find it convenient to make it hard
for any Of their neighbors who seem TO
be prosperous and happy. Chronic grumb-
iers soon come to think il an evidence Of
total depravity that anyone does not fail
into the same habit lat least TO the extent
of joining in the dance while they do the
piping. Some of us sympathize with this
class more because of their folly than we
admire them for their sagacity, inaSmuch
as the former characteristic is by so
much the more common. as well IS the
more prominent with them. Moreover, we
depreciate the poison of asps" so con-
stantly manifesting itself when they Ily
their favorite trade, l. e., telling the
world what everybody is alike who do not
accept their dictum and indorse their
conclusions. OF those who find all the viz
tue in themselves, and all the vice in
those of different opinions, I would de-
voutly pray. Good Lord deliver us from
all such. ANNA E. L.

Now. is God going to direct the bullets Of

No. games. Bat. Av. Fgdg. A
Sour innings.

Riggs of the regular players is the only
one 10 have a clean fielding record.
Cheaum, who has been playing the same
position, is below Riggs in both fielding,
hitting and passed balls. For the number
of games played, Riggs easily leads the
team in fielding and batting. Harlan fol-
lows second in fielding, and Mccarthy
might be said to be second in batting.
Mccarthy leads Riggs at the bat, but
then the number of games played must
be taken into consideration. SEWERS is the
poorest batter on the team. He ranks
second as TO fielding. In the five games
Donovan has pitched one without any
earned runs being made OF him. SEWERS
has pitched four with each earned runs
for the opposing side. while the Eagles,
in the four games, have only made three
earned runs.

TIE BRIDAL BOUQUET.

A Wichita travelling man relates this;
At a recent wedding in Belmont, Kansas
a contest was held for the bridal bouquet
Three young lady guests entered the con-
test for the beautiful bouquet OF "hi'e
carnations and hyacinths and the Good
fortune that accompanied them. Inc
bride tossed the flowers and by accident
they fell into the hands of a young gen.
tleman; he gently returned the flowers
and the bride again threw the bouquet
and strange TO say this gentleman's be-
throthed gracefully reached above her OPP
ponents and caught the prize. Their eyes
sparkled and a smile crept into the faces
of the young couple while the guests join
ed in a hearty applause.

PAPERED WRONG HOUSE.

Last Wednesday a paper-hanger called
at the home occupied by Mr.. A. Robinson,
1929 South Water street, with orders 70
paper two of the rooms. Mrs. Robinson
told him there must be some mistake
about it for she knew nothing of any
papering to be done in the house they
were renting. But the paper was put on
the sitting room and the paper was torn
off the kitchen, and the paper-hanger was
all prepared to hang the kitchen paper
when the agent for the property appeared
and was greatly surprised to see his
clients house being papered. Upon in
quiring it was determined that the work
man had the wrong street number and
should have papered the walls in the first
house south of the one occupied by Mrs.
Robinson. The agents of the two prop
critics are now parleying who is to pay
FOR the kitchen paper.

WASN'T MURDER WHEN OLD.

Bruce keenan,, when a boy, used to try
TO read of our civil war, but from the
very horror of the battles couldn't do it.
"If those poor fellows hadn't been killed, !"
he would argue about the list of dead,
"they would be living yet" So he would
pick I'D a history and read of Napoleon's
wars and when he came to the enumera-
ton of the dead would mollify his feel
lngs by mentally arguing: Even If those
fellows hadn't been killed in that battle
they would have been dead by this time,
anyway"

WON'T NAME A VESSEL FOR
WICHITA

J. H. Mcknight has practically been
promised place in the navy should there
bere a need of sailor recruits. On April
5 he wrote Secretary Of War Long volun-
teering his services. Mr.. Mcknight is a
seaman of long experience, having worked
UP from an ordinary seaman to second
mate on a three-sky-saI-yard vessel. He
has received a letter from Secretary Long
in which he says: THE department ap-
preciates the patriotic motives by which
you are prompted, and has placed your
application on file, TO receive consideration
should an emergency arise. The depart
ment notes your suggestion that one of
the vessels recently purchased for the
United States navy be named Wichita, in
honor of your city, and has to inform
you that the name Topeka has recently
been selected for one Of the cruisers lately
acquired by the government. 1t is hardly
likely, therefore, that the departmnt will
name another vessel for a Kansas city
while there are a number of states which
have not yet had a vessel named for them
or for any of their cities"

THEY SIMPLY KISSED


One day last week two girl residents
Of the east part of town met, apparently
by accident, on the corner of Ohio avenue
and First street. and the dramatic scene
certainly was one to melt the most stony
misogynist The two young ladies are
welf-known leaders in social, musical and
church circles of the city, and intimate
chums of years standing. Evidently they
had not seen one another in az much as
an hour or So and when they did sight
each other it was simply gushing, like a
dog-day sunstroke for warmth of feeling
or the third act of Romeo and Juliet for
scenic effects. One was on her bicycle,
and carrying in her hand a Morocco music
roll. The other carried, as the most no.
ticeable object a gorgeous. expansive
smile of welcome that would have with
cred vegetation. The rider gracefully
alighted from her wheel; the other let 90
her skirts for a moment, and then the
two went at each other like a pair Of
belligerent cats. Each threw a plump and
drawing arm about the neck of the other,
and for moment it was difficult TO deter
mine which of them was the other. They
came together in a head-end collision. and
the sound emitted was like that of cut
ter running on bare ground or a cow pull
ing her foot out of the mud They stuck
like woodtck to a Sleeps tall and il
would have been impossible to pry them
apart with a bed-slat- They certainly had
tried that before, either together or other
wise. and the artistic and melodramatio
scene baffied description. or anything else.
Finally they let go and bounded back
from the sudden jar like two rubber balls,
and for moment stood and beamed up
on each other like pair Of game bantam
chickens just before the fray. It was all
over in less time than one can tell about it.
