IS FLIRTING REPREHENsIBLEg

Flirting, like drinking, may be an in
dangerous. 1t is probably a natural
right, for even birds fiirt In their inno-
cence, and caressing and coaXing are
not wanting all along the line, Still II
is all a perilous proceeding we have no
doubt. The tempted and inexperienced
should be protected from its wiles, and
those who have already formed the
habit should be broken of it, If it can
be done without breaking their necks.
Bishop Vincent, the other day. at the
State Temperance meeting at Topeka,
inveighed against the gum chewing
habit. How much more imminent and
greater the disasters resulting from
flirting. The woes of the world, no less
than its EXTREMIST ecstacies, hinge
not upon gum chewing or other appe-
tite habits so distinctly as on this
habit of flirting. Speaking for the male
side of the situation. the average man
in the face of this fact and ali the null
tlphed dangers conceivable would
rather be flirted at than not. We can't
speak for the opposite sex. but we fear
that their own :nclinations run to the
same desperate groove. a coy glance
from even an advanced woman has its

ANOTHER KANsAN GONE:


The announcement Of Ex-Governor
Thomas A. Osborn's death was thing
so unexpected as to be startling. rev
men have been better or more univer-
sally known to the people OF Kansas
none for a longer term of years his
name has been linked with that OF
Kansas ever since the latter name had
any legal significance, and his ponnca4
life and public deeds are scattered all
through her records as a state ana Ter
ritorv. Governor Osborn was not
brilliant man. AS a speaker, writer,
official. and as a man he was conserVa-
tive always. He was so suaVe ana gen
tie in manner that in the hrmest ana
most aggressive acts of his life, either
as president of the senate, as United
Staes marshal or as governor there was
never any touch of offensiveness- He
in short, was a born diplomat, ana
probably dies without an enemy on
earth. That man could fill so many
important stations, some of them de-
ness, and fill them to the satisfaction
of the public and in universal commen-
dalton Of his friends, and never make
enemies or arouse antagonisms was the
characteristic Of his life, if not the
secret of his success. In settling the
difficulties between Chilli and other
South American states, as internanohal
arbitrator, it was conceded that he sat
isfied and made friends of them all.
His wife, who was the daughter Of the
late Mark w. Delahay, the first fed
eraI Judge of the territory, died some
years since. They had but one child,
son, now grown to manhood, whose
home is in Topeka. The governor was
to have been married in April next to
a Meadville, Pa, lady, whom he was
visiting when taken with his fatal Ill
ness, which attacked him in the morn
ing and left him dead in the early af-
ternoon Of the same day.
The writer, who has known Mr.. Os-
born for almost forty years, believes
his political success attributable more
TO his pleasant personality, to his
genially impressive presence, than to
anything else. Nothing seemed to ruff
file the even flow of his social and do
mestic life, nothing perturbed his po-
liticaI or financial career. Many Of his
successes bordered the brilliant, but
they were all borne modestly, having
seemingly been won by moderation.
Twice governor Of Kansas, twice
United States minister to South Amer
lea, twice elected to the state senate,
for four years United States marshal,
for one term ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
state, and for another president pro
tenn of the senate. the most of his life
was taken up in the discharge of Off
cial duties. He has been a director in
the Santa Fe system since its reorgan-
ization, but he informed the writer that
the opportunity was afforded him tc
again enter the diplomatic service un-
der the present administration.
The Associated Press dispatch OF
yesterday morning did not state, but
the probability is that he will be
brought back to Kansas and buried
beside his wife's remains in the To-
peka cemetery.

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

The numerical strength of the
knights Templar in the United States
Is probably little appreciated by the
general public. Originally the Templars
were military organization purely

About twenty divisions will be in the

Ohio, which will have over 5000
knights in line, will form separate di-
visions, while others will be placed to-
gether with one commander over them.
There will be in the parade a mounted
escort of nearly 5000. Chairman Heck
ert has already contracted for many
horses and equipments, and will en-
gage about 500 or ! 900 from Pittsburg
parties. The encampment will be held
at the beginning of October. The Pitts
burg people are to offer two prizes for
competitive drills, but under what au-
thority they do so is not known. The
knights Templar no longer hold COM
petitive drills. Perhaps it is for some
thing in the nature of exhibition drills
though If such exhibitions are consid-
cred in the slightest degree competitive
no commandery is authorized to en-
sage in them.
