THE KANSAS HORSE.
Pegasus and Bucephalus Reported to
Have Been Natives of
the state.

Speaking of the record of Joe Patch
en-, the Kansas horse, do you know, )"
said a 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 that gives 'em the
wind and speed"
How about Pcgasus?" asked sal
low-compleXioned, professor-looking
man, who wore spectacles and talked
with a Boston-bean accent.
What was his stock-Hambleton
or Kentucky Whip" asked the Kansas
horseman, who hadn't heard of Pegasus,
and was evidently sparring for wind.
Pegasus" rephed the professor, as
he deliberately wiped his spectacles,
''was the noted flying steed captured
by Bellerophon, 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 Teller Bellerophon
personally, but heard of him 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 blow, but
he knew the points of horse. all right"
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 eide by Alexander, after he
had thrown the most expert equestrians
of Phillips court" responded the pro-
fessOr, with an expression that plainly
indicated, Il have him now
why, of COURSE" said the Kansas
horseman. "Ough: 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
a time. No question but what he was
born down in the southwest part of the
state. Finest wild horse | ever saw.
Had a 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,
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 $100. AS / was saving,
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 fled.--Chicago

Liquor Laws of Ohio.

The liquor interests OF Ohio secured
the passage during the session of two
important laws. One amends the Adair
law so that person can give notice
personally upon a saloon keeper not
to sell intoxicants to relative. etc.
The other provides that a saloon regu-
larly established within two miles of
a Playground does not have to close up
during the fair. The law now shuts
out temporary booths and sheds and
prohibits anyone but permanent deal
ers from doing business.

ENCOURAGEMENT.
Hope, the One Great Need of MAN.
kind, ExempIified by m
AIlegOry.

The angel of the wishes trailed soft
y downward through the blue ether,
his golden<ipped 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-
ng lids with the golden wand, and left
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 brought
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
fulfillment."
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 the prayer
Of thy heart as the one jewel in the col
ection!"
The wand touched the lips of the
lover writing in the throes of doubt
and misgiving, and caught the sob that
was half 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
lear 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 bedsdes
Of the poet, artist and musician. For
ages" he said to himself with half a
sigh, Il have carried this prayer to the
feet of the Eternal. Would that could
touch their dropping lips with the smile
of its fulfillment."
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 Great Giver.
AS he unrolled it and sent its white
streamers out upon the peaceful air,
behold they twined themselves together,
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, 1.-The one need of mankind is
Hope!" - Birch Arnold, in Chicago

Among the interesting old books and
papers belonging to the late Edward W.

COL. BRYAN AND HIS SOLDIERS
NEBRASKAN'S LEAVE OF ABB
SENCE HAS EXPIRED.
But He Can Easily Secure an Exten-
sion-Fifteen Of His Men Will Be
Discharged.

Washington, Oct 4.-The request OF
Colonel Bryan of the Third Nebraska
infantry for the discharge Of num-
Der of men of that regiment who de-
sire to return to their homes, was
granted by the secretary of war today
in about Is cases, which had received
the approval of the company and reg
mental officers and of the brigade ana
CORPS commanders. They were based
upon various reasons, including Ill
health and private business necessities
1t is understood that there are nearly
100 men in the regiment who are DONG
their utmost to secure their discharge.
1t is said that Colonel Bryan has en-
dorsed the applications Of many cases.
but that they lack the approval OF the
brigade and corps commanders. In case
of favorable action by the reviewing
authorities the applications will be
granted by the war department with
out further consideration. Applications
lacking the favorable endorsement OF
the reviewing officers will each be IN
dependently investigated and decided
upon it's merits.
1t is said at the war department that
nothing has yet been heard from the
governor Of Nebraska regarding the Sc
lection of the Nebraska regiment to De
number of troops furnished by that
state within the regulation quota. As
understood here. the governor desires,
before reaching a decision in the mat
ter, to hear from the officers and men
Of the two regiments concerned, VIZ:
The First regiment, now In the Pnlllp-
pines, and the Third regiment CColonel
Bryan's), now at Jacksonville. Fla
1t is further stated at the department
that in case Colonel Bryan desires an
extension of time he would apply there
for to his brigade commander, and not
to the war department; that IS, unless
he should desire leave 1or more than 80
days. Brigade commanders are au-
thorized to grant leaves of absence TO
the officers OF their commands Tor
period not exceeding 80 days. All aD-
plications for more than 80 days must
be acted upon by the secretary OF war
1t is not anticipated that Colonel Bryan
will have any difficulty in securing an
extension of leave, especially in view OF
the fact that he has not yet fully re-
covered his health. 4 surgeons Ger
tificate of disability in his case is all
that is necessary to secure him an ex-
tension of leave. When Colonel Bryan
left Jacksonville he had leave of alb
sence for seven days. That leave has
about expired He has made no appH-
cation to the war department to have
his leave extended.
Richmond, Va, Oct. 4.-Colonel Will
liam j. Bryan arrived at CulDeoper
from Washington, spending the day
there with relatives. His wife was
with him. He had planned to leave
tomorrow for Hot Springs, Va, but had
scarcely got settled before he received
an order from the war department or
dering him to rejoin his regiment. He
left at once for Jacksonville with Mrs.
Bryan.
Washington, Oct. At is stated at
the war department that no orders
have been issued to Colonel William j.
Bryan to return at once to his regi-
ment.

The conditions were continued until
the condition of the rich was made bet
ter and the condition of the poor rem

Not satisfied with thus depressing
the poorer classes of the country, the
Republican party, at the behest of the
bondholderS, further added to the bur-
dens which were borne by the common
people. demonetized silver and struck
another blow at the working classes.
AS if to render their condition still

accomplished as it was possible.
The United States were the last ma
ton to pass an income tax law, which
was done by a Democratic congress.
The supreme court reversed itself, at
the behest of the money power, and the
law was declared invalid.
In 1896 the Democratic party, the
party OF Jefferson, found itself coh-
fronted with these conditions and at
once arrayed itself on the side of the
great masses of the people. With a
standard bearer upon whose shoulders
fell the mantle which Jefferson had
worn. in the person OF that gallant
young statesman. William Jennings
Bryan, they went out and fought the
most unprecedented campaign in the
history of the country. Qntense cheer

The Republicans demonetized silver
and expressed their surprise when they
discovered it. They promised to re-
1nonetize the white metal as soon as
they had a chance. Then they prom
ised TO remonetize silver as soon as the
other nations would permit them. Now

Senator Rawlins was greeted with
rousing applause as he topped to the
front of the stage. The speaker said
he would measure the Republican
party by it's own standard and convict
it on its own inconsistent oleadinGs.
He then referred to the st. Louis
platform, which declared for gold I'M

was created to go across Ithe water and

was when the members of the party

YUKON FOOD SUPPLY.
Abundance of Provisions For the
Coming Winter.

Seattle. Wash. Oct. Am estimate
of the amount of provisions on the Yu-
kon river indicates that there will be
no need of a government relief expedi-
ton this winter. The two big trans
portation companies have at least TO-
900 tons at various points on the river.
The North American Trading &
Transportation company is credited
with these figures: At Dawson, 1900
tons: Fort Cudahy, 1900; Circle City,
1900: Fort Yukon, 1900; Rampant City,
1000; Eagle City, 500; Perry City, Zoe.
The Alaska Commercial company has
about the same amounts on hand, ex-
cept at Dawson, where it has about
1000 tons.
Trading posts have recently been es-
tablished by the two companies on the
Koyukuk river. the Alaska Commercial
company locating at Arctic City, and
the North American Trading e. Trans
