ENCOURAGEMENT.
Hope, the One Great Need Of MAN.
Kind, Exempliied by an
AlleROry.

The angel of the wishes trailed soft
ly downward through the blue ether,
his golden-tipped wand in his hand.
He bent over the head of the school
boy whose tear-stained face betokened
the struggle which youth encounters
at the entrance to the land of knowl-
edge. Lightly he touched the droop-
ing lids with the golden wand, and left
a smile to fill the place of the sigh that
was breathed into it.
The yellow harvest moon stole into
the room of the factory girl and bror ght
into strong relief the youthful face
upon which was already written the
sad story of struggle and deprivation,
and as the angel of the wishes furled
his wings beside her head his smile was
touched with the tender grace of COM
miseration.
breathe, sad heart" he said, breathe
into this wand of mine the dearest
need of thy life and it shall be car
ried to the throne of the Most High for
fulfllment."
Upon a couch Of unrest tossed the in
valid, burdened with untold cares,
clutched in the angry grip of pain, long
ing for release, yet praying for strength
to fight the battle for others, and as
the wand touched the pale lips and on
the quivering breath f1oated out the one
prayer of the sufferer, the angel of the
wishes stole reverently, with bowed
head, from the room,
Beside the bed of the mother he stood
and gazed upon the careworn face be-
fore him. He traced the lines of self
denial, the burrows Of thought, the
ravages of suffering, and whispered
softly through the darkness: 80, thou
martyr to the worlds greatness and
goodness, let thy wand bear he prayer
of thy heart as the one jewel in the col
lection!"
The wand touched the lips of the
lover writhing in the throes Of doubt
and misgiving, and caught the sob that
was half a prayer before it had spent
itself upon the midnight air,
Upon the hard-set lips of the man OF
business it fingered long before it sue
ceeded in bringing into palpable form,
out of the conflict of desire, the one
dear wish of his heart But the very
intensity with which it came seemed to
mark it as the final summing of all
earthly good,
The angel of the wishes smiled know
ngly when he bent above the bedsides
of the poet, artist and musician. For
ages,' he said to himself with half a
sigh! 81 have carried this prayer to the
feet Of the Eternal. Would that | could
touch\ their dropping lips with the smile
of its fulfllment,"
Across the eastern rim of the sky the
white arms of day were reaching up
ward when the angel of the wishes laid
his heavily laden wand at the feet of
the GreaS Giver.
AS he unrolled it and sent it's white
streamers out upon the peaceful air,
behold they twined themselvestogethe
and out of the embrace in letters OF
flame appeared as the combined result
of the prayers and aspirations the one
word, "Encouragement!'
"Alas!" sighed the angel of the
wishes, ''the one need of mankind is
dope!" - Birch Arnold, in Chicago

THE KANSAS HORSE.
Pegasus and BucephaIus Reported to
Have Been Natives of
the State.

Speaking of the record of Joe Patch.
en-, the Kansas horse, do you know,
said Kansas horseman and real estate
agent, that Kansas is the greatest nat
ural horse country in the world? Talk
about Arabia! Why, it simply wasn't
in it with Kansas. If you could trace
back the ancestry of all the noted
horses of the country, you would run
'em back finally to this country. It's
the climate and water thatgive 'em the
wind and speed"
How about Pegasus?" asked a sal
low-complexioned, professor-looking
man, who wore spectacles and talked
with Bostonbean accent.
What was his sstock-Hambleton
or Kentucky Whip" asked the Kansas
horseman, who hadn't heard of Pegasus
and was evidently sparring for wind.
"Pagasus," repiled the professor, as
he deliberately wiped his spectacles
"was the noted flying steed captured
by Bcllerophon, tie son of Glaucus,
while quenching its thirst at cele-
brated spring"
"Oh, yes" said the Kansas hcrseman,
frightening. Il recollect all about it
now. That spring was down here at
Geuda, Sumner county. Best water for
horses ever saw. Wild horses used to
come 100 miles to drink that water.
Didn't know that feller Bellerophon
personally, but heard of lin often.
Think l met him cnce when he was buy
ing up herd of horses from Texas.
Boys used to call him 'Beller' because he
talked loud. You could hear him all
over the town when he called for a
drink. He was something of a blow, but
he knew the points of horse, all right" F"
'How about Bucephalus ?" asked the
professor as soon as he recovered from
his first shock of surprise.
Don't just call the horse to mind"
said the Kansas horseman, knitting his
brows in thought. When did he make
his record?"
"He was the wild horse that was
broken to ride by Alexander, after he
/ had thrown the most expert equestrians
! of Phillips court" responded the pro-
fessor, with an expression that plainly
indicated, II have him now"
"Why, of COURSE" said the Kansas
horseman. Cough; to have remembered
that before. That horse used to run In
herd that ranged between the Pan
Handle and where Wichita is now.
Used to range down on the Peavine
flats, in Sumner and Harper counties,
nearly every summer, Seen him many
time, No question but what he was
born down in the southwest part of the
state. Finest wild horse ever saw.
Had name that came down to his
knees, and when he smelled danger you
could hear him snort half mile. That
fellow Alexander that broke him-let's
see, what was his first name ?-why, sir,
i he could ride anything that wore hair,
but he mighty near had to give in when
he struck the horse. l understood that
he told some of the boys around town
that he wouldn't tackle another job of
that kind for 500. AS I was saying,
there is just no end to the wind and
nerve of a Kansas-bred horse"
But the professor from Boston was
not there to hear. He had given up the
unequal contest and fied.--Chicago

Rumor That the Missouri Editors sudden
Death Was Not from Accident.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. IA spe-
cial TO the journal from Gallatin, Mo,
says: Not for years has Gallatin been
so shaken as it is now over the develop
ments that have followed the death of
Gus Leftwch, editor of the Gallatin
Democrat, who died last Sunday morn
ing at his home here from arsenical
poisoning. The aifiir seems to have
had its otigin in the unhappy family
conditions, and the dose of poison that
killed the popular editor was possibly
administered by his own child. but
intended for his second wife, whose
relations with his children were
not pleasant. The fact was brought
out at the coroner's inquest that.
a few hours prior to his death,
he called his 14-year-old daugh-
ter, Maria, to his bedside, and said:
Maria, You have given me the poison"
The girl left the room crying, and did
not return until after her fathers
death. Before his death Leftwich re-
quested that no investigation of the
cause of his death be made.

L.o al Notes.

The most important election ever
held in lola will occur March 7. And
if you don't register you can't vote.
Don't think because you registered
for the first special election that you
are therefore entitled to vote at the
coming one. You must register again
or you can't vote.
1t strikes us that the anti-bond
committee made Il very strong point
i'm their recent communication to the
REGISTER when they asked if II num-
Der of the responsible citizens who
favor city ownership are willing to
make bond which will guarantee
the property holders against ever hav-
ing to pay taxes to meet either the
interest or principal of the gas bonds.
The Gas Company have bound them
selves to give us an absolute guaranty
of dollar gas il they remain in
possession of the plant. Now why is
it not fair that those who favor city
ownership should give us an equally
binding assurance of dollar gas aud
no taxes?
tit were generally believed that
the bonds to buy the gas plant would
have to be paid by direct taxation,
it is doubtful if corporal's guard
could be found to vote for the bonds.
And yet will some one tell us what
guaranty we have that the bonds will
not have to paid in just that way
1t is the Judgment of II very large
proportion of the successful business

men of lola that the bonds will have
to be paid by taxation. 1t is very
certain that those who believe diff
ferently do not believe so strongly
enough to put up bond to indemnify
the tax payers for any portion of the
money they may be required to pay
in liquidation of the debt. Private
ownership guarantees us dollar gas
and no taxation. Public ownership
does not promise anything better than
dollar gas, and it places us liable for
debt of $500 with accrued inter
est. Is it any wonder that public
sentiment is changing rapidly and
that the opposition to the bonds is
growing stronger daily?

The members of the Shakespeare
club and their friends to the number
of about two hundred were entertained
last night at Plymouth church by an
artistic recital of "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" by Mrs. Hannibal A.
Williams, of New York. The various
characters of the comedy were por-
trayed by slight change of voice. and
were sust ained to the end with fidelity.
She was equally effective as the dig
nified duke, the boisterous clown and
the mischievous Puck. The recital
was accompanied by Mendelssohn' s
Illustrative music, vocal and instru-
mental, and added much TO the attrac-
tiveness of the entert; in nent.
"A Midsummer Nights Dream" will
be given by Mrs. Williams with full
musical accompaniment at the First NJ.
