Bravely Earning Her Own Living.
The following concerning Mrs. w. F.

Traffic Manager White of the Santa Fe,
and her daughter Jean, both of whom
are we'll known in this city, having
lived here while Mr.. White was general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe, is
taken from the Chicago Inter Ocean of
recent date:
Mrs. William F. White and her
daughter Jean are women well known
in Chicago society. Time was when
they had ample fortune and were
among the most prominent and popular
entertainers in the city. Their home
was the place of many select gather
ings, and the White family was famous
for its generous, Whole-souled hospital-

zone day grim poverty stalked unbid-
den and unexpected into the household,
where the inmates had known every
luxury and comfort that money could
buy. Mr.. White died, and in settling of
his estate the disagreeable fact was
brought out that it would take every
dollar of his property to liquidate the
Indebtedness.
THE blow was a. crushing one to Mrs.
White and her daughter, but they met it
squarely and bravely. We can't beg;
we can't live on charity; we must do

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Senator German Interested in Com
MERGE With Navassa-

Washington, May 6.-Owing to the war
demonstrations in nearby waters, the ISL
threatened with a food famine. Reports
of the distressing condition of affairs on
the island have reached here, and Senator
German of Maryland called the attention
of the president to the state of affairs
and the necessity for reiIer of some sort.
In view of it's close proximity to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the islands in those waters
and the fact that Spanish vessels at any
time may intercept and attack the vessels
goin there, commerce wits the island
has been suspended.
There are represented to be about rs
Americans on the islands, mostly from
Maryland. Senator German urged i'm
mediate action and the president prom
ised to take the matter up Immediately
and determine what could be done. It
was suggested that a merchantmen with
supplies might be sent under escort of a
warship to carry supplies to the endan-
gered inhabitants and carry off those who
wish to leave.

GLOBE SIGHTS

Every man is entitled to a show, but
he doesn't always get it.
When a woman looks unhappy, her
husband is charged with it.
Men get mad at each other. just
the same as school girls and women.
Joe Miller could have added three or
four volumes to his joke book if he had
lived at a boarding house.
A girls idea of particularly good

the floor.
After a girl has visited away from

the climate is bad for her health
An Atchison Young man who is thor
oughly worthless, looking around FOR
an excuse. He has about decided to
claim that his failure in life is due to
the fact that he never mad any educa-
tion,'' although he would never go to
school, and his parents worried them
selves sick in trying to give him an ed
ucation. When a man makes up his
mind to be worthless, nothing can save
him.
No one tells the truth about the
wages he gets.
The people never get at the sense of
a subject until it has been discussed at
least two years.
Atchison boasts of a. girl who has
three silk petticoats. This is believed
to beat the western record.
A pretty good guess can be made as
to what sensible man can do, but no
body ever knows what fool will do.
1t is a pretty safe rule to refuse cred
it to a man who steps into your place of
business whistling or singing.
You hear a great deal about the de-

not tell it,

Pherson County Soil,

Newton Republican: At the Santa
Fe station the other day, were eight
families of Mennonites who were re-
turning to their old homes in McPher-
son county from Houston, Texas.
Last fall about twenty-five families
emigrated from Mcpherson county to
Texas and bought land about twenty
five miles east of Houston. 1t was too
late in the fall to begin farming and
they at once built homes and prepared
to stay there. They paid So per acre
for the land
This spring when they ploughed their
land they found that much of it was al
kali land and worthless for farming
purposes. A few weeks ago the heavy
rains began and their land, being low
and fiat, was flooded and they were
nearly drowned.
Becoming disguised with Texas, they
decided to abandon their farms and re-
turn to Kansas, where they could at
least earn a living at farming. The
men say that they want to warn every
one not to go to Texas with the expec-
tation of farming, as the land for the
most part is worthless, at least in that
vicinity,
