opportunity go by without helping any
one whom 1t was possible for them to
help Indeed, they were very worthy,
tender hearted boys, and when they grew
up they took part in politics and helped
to make the laws better. But the part
of their history l think will most inter-
est you will be Of their travels. When
they were quite young men they were
compelled to part company, they each
must earn their own living Of course,
and must needs go where circumstances
made 1t most profitable for them, but
they always kept UP lively cOrrespon-
.dence even If many miles Of land and
water parted them. Dick went TO Klon-
dixie for very rich syndicate which en-
gagged him for his good business ability,
as their manager Of the company sent
to prospect some gold mines. Dick was
fine business man, his early training as
a neWsboy helped him even then. Dick
in few years became very rich man,
but instead of using his riches for the
benefit of himself only, he was ever
ready to help all unfortunates, and was
always the first to offer his assistance
to any cause for the betterment OF hu-
manity. OF course he married good
woman, as few lives are really happy
without pleasant companion to share
ones good fortune. He came home after
many years to settle in Topeka, prefer
ring his old home to any other place on
earth.
"And Harry, you may be wondering
what became of him. His dear papa had
the misfortune to lose all his great for
tune about the time Harry became OF
age. But Harry was not boy to cry
over split milk, he bethought himself
of what he could do to best help papa,
who had always been so good to his boy.
And what do you think he did, he went
to the Philippine islands and went into
the rubber business, and after some pa
tient years Of hard work and struggle
he became comfortably wealthy, al
though he was never very rich, like
Dick. His father and the good house
keeper, Mrs. Mcclure, Joined him there,
and they lived happily in their tropical
home. Harry, true to the lessons learned
in his early club study, taught the ma
tiyes the true spirit Of cooperation,
practicing 1t as we'll as preaching.
"And last, but not least we come to
Tom and his future. Tom, being sorely
tried by the respectable poverty Of his
mamma and papa, decided that he would
better conditions, If only in his own
home. He went to Cuba and worked on
a sugar plantation. His parents were
truly grateful to their son for his efforts
in their behalf, but preferred living in
Topeka in poverty, than living in Cuba
in luxury. Tom married beautiful Gu
ban woman, who was as naturally Popu-
listic in her thoughts as Tom was by
training. He took lively interest in
helping the negro colonies which had
been founded on the island, and pointed
out to them and to the Cuban natives,
whenever the opportunity offered itself,
the true road to freedom.
b "As said before, my three eherOes never
forgot one another, and their correspon-
dence ever proved help and inspiration
to them in their work. And this Is the
end Of my story"
And If Mr.. Walker had been true
prophet he could not have better fore
told the future Of Tom, Dick and Harry.

That statistics can be made to prove
anything has been eften said. just
what the honest statistics do prove,
however, as to the relationship be-
tween crime and ignorance on tie one
hand, and between virtue and educa-
tion on the other, is much disputed.
A New York paper has opened its
columns to the discussion Of this
question, with the result that some of
It's correspondents assert that crime
and education are increasing together,
while others iaaist that the more
highly educated people become the
fewer crimes are committed. And
both parties to the argument make a
plentiful use of statistics.

The most appalling disaster to our
navy in recent years was the blowing
up the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor on Tuesday night, 10Th inst,
by which 26O sailors lost their lives
and the splendid ship was made to-
tai wreck. No one knows the cause
of the explosion, and perhaps it will
never be known. Many believe that a
cons piracy on the part Of jealous des-
peradoes wrought the disaster, while
others hold that it was purely acci-
dental. Whatever the cause, the ef-
feet is most shocking in its horrible
details. The sailors were asleep in
their hunks when the explosion oc-
Cured and were hurled into eternity
without moment s notice. Only two
officers were killed, Merritt and Jen-
kius. Many sailors were mangled and
are in Havana hospitals. The other
survivors were taken to Key West.
The Maine was second-class armored
battleship, completed in 1890 at cost
of over s2,5OO,ooo. The Spanish
authorities have shown great sympa-
thy in the calamity and have been ac-
tive in receiving the wounded. A
committee will investigate the cause
Of the disaster. If by chance it should
be traced to Spanish source, nothing
can preyent war.

The new county government law
does away with the county board<of
commissioners, consisting Of a county
supervisor and the chairman Of each
township board, and provides instead
for salaried supervisor and two
county commissioners to serve at
three dollars Per day for actual ser
vice. Gov. Ellcrbe; it is said, will
not sign the new bill, aud it will
therefore not become law for year
yet, and will then become law with-
out his signature. He does this in
order to make the law apply to all the
counties in the State at the same
time.

great damage resulted. On many

everything burned there. On Sunday

Farmers should think seriously be-
fore pitching and appertioning their
crops, that if another 100000 bale
crop of cetton is made this year they
will have to sell their crop for 3 cents
or less. If every farmerin the cotton
belt should reduce his acreage in cot
ton this year % per cent. there would
still be an abundant crop of cotton
made, but at remunerativc prices,
and they would have largely increased
supplies of the necessaries of life for
home consumption. If one has what
he needs at hcme he requires but lit
tie money, unless he wants to tackle
three card monte CIR some other game
of chance, in which all the chance is
against him. If one raises what he
needs for home consumption he can
simply stay at home and consume it.

We are opposed to the annexation
of Hawaii. The mission Of our coun-
try is to build up what it already has.
To do that is task under which it is
to-day struggling and an enhancing Of
the burden would be the height Of fol
ly. We already have more territory
than we can conveniently handle. We
want no more, We need no more. We
certainly do not want islands reel.ins
with leprosy, populated with mixed
peoples Of the most undesirable char
acter and situated SO far away from
US that an immense navy would be an
absolute necessity for its defense.
We are strongly inclined to believe
that the annexation Of Hawaii is
nothing more nor less than Job seek
ing to benefit few at the expense OF
the country at large.

4 Ghlldi.h settlement.

In the Connecticut town OF South
Norwalk IL bccam. necessary a few
months ago TO construct a road to the
depot on account of recent alterations
made by the railroad company In It's
tracks. In making the surveys IL was
found that the best line for the new
road passed through factory site. In
due course the owners of the factory
were Informed. a price was awarded
for the PROPERTY, 1t WAS condemned,
and arrangements were made to re
move the building In the way. y, the
time the exact line was marked out II
was found that the said line would
pass through II par of boilers set IN
brickwork at that point. The owners
OF the factory desired 10 move the boil
ers, but the City Council dcmurred.
Clnlmlng that, as the city WAS 10 pay
Tor the part OF the land where part
of the boilers stood, IL was entitled to
that much OF the value of the boilers.
The owners said they owned all the
boilers. The city offered them 5000,
which was refused. Finding that the
matter could not be decided in any
otter way. un adjustment was suggest
cd. the line WIS marked out, and
the boilers were sawed In twain
upon the line OF survey. The
part Of the boilers and setting on the
side towards the new road was held
by the city. and the part upon the
other side IL retained In It's original
position by the owners OF the factory.
This Is one Of the most curious cases
OF childish stubbornncss which could
we'll be conceived. ns no one gained
anything. The owners Of the property
have parts OF two useless boilers. The
city has the other parts. and the city
paid $500 TO have them cut In two.-
