AROUND nearly every town will be
some young men who spend their time
from one years end to the other on
the lookout for soft snap. They have
the swell-head too bad to 60 to work
at anything that will soil their cuffs or
raise the sweat, and no one has con-
fidence enough in their willingness to
work to trust them in positions OF re.
sponsibility. On the other hand we
see young men start out by taking
any kind of work that comes along.
If they fail to find positions in store
or office they go to the farms or shops.
In short time these young men are
found to have become good business
men. A willingness to do an honest
days work at any kind of labor is q
better recommendation for young
man in the eyes of business men than
all the high collars and tight fitting
pants he can ever wear.-LaCrosse

There is A Difference In Wars.

The very men who, a year and a
half ago, were denouncing Mckinley
for not declaring war, are today
denouncing him because he dose not
cease the Wichita Eagle.
True as gospel, but the Eagle
neglects to state that the war demand
ed eighteen months ago was a war
against the monarchy of Spain to
compel justice for Cubans who were
struggling for the right to govern
themselves. The present war, which
democrats are urging Mckinley to
cease, is war against the Filipinos
who, like the Cubans, seek only in
dependence. One war was righteous,
aud justified by every precept Of
political morality; the other is unneces'
sary, unwise and without justl fication.
1t is entirely consistent and logical
for the men who demanded the frs
war to protest against the second
Eureka Messenger.

They Got Walloped Nicely.

Who did? Why, the Great Bend
base ball team. The warmest thing that
has happened to tickle the rooters at
the little town 22 miles west of Great
Bend was the defeat of our ball club by
the Cove City boys on Tuesday. 1t
does people here good to have some
thing happen that will put even one lit
tie wrinkle in a Larned mans face.
The game Monday was very close
and holly contested, and notwithstand-
ing Allison got hurt early and had to
retire, the game was easy Great Bends.
In the beginning of the 9th inning. the
score standing to 7 in favor of Great
Bend. the umpire called a rank foul
fair hit, and squabble arose over the
decision. One man scored on the foul
and to settle the matter the teams mu-
tually agreed to call the game draw.
Following is the score:

There is said to have been up several

being declared draw. all bets were off.
Tuesdays game. however, was a
Waterloo, a hoodoo and lulu. The
home boys started in the game sore
over the result the day before. They
had lost not only Allison, but Ratcliff e
also, and had to substitute two ne "
men who had not played with the team.

BAPTIST.
The b Y. r. U. will note that the
evening meetings hereafter will be on
Sabbath evening instead of Monday.
Let us rally heartily to this service.
Very excellent sermons were preached
on Sabbath, by DR.. Emory Miller in the
morning and DR.. Manly S. Hard in the
evening. The music added greatly to
the enjoyment and profit Of the Sabbath
services. Miss Garrison sweetly sang
into our ears and hearts son, Receive
My Soul at Last, and an appropriate
duet sung by Messrs. Cassaday and
Plimpton added greatly to the profit of
the evening service.
PRESBYTERIAN.
Next Sabbath. the Sunday school will
observe Rally Day. exercises and all
the members and friends of the school
are aked to be present.
The Ladies Aid society will hold a
special business meeting at the home
of Mrs. s. Eastman tomorrow WED
nesday) AFTERNOON at $50 O'Clock.
In common with the entire commun-
ity we feel that our congregation has
been blessed by the meeting of con-
ference and its christian fellowship in
our homes and churches, and that a
permanent influence for good will abide.
The Sabbath services were of a very
inspiring character and the attendance
very large, the church being crowded
at the evening worship. A number
from the conference were in attendance,
and able sermons were given by DR..
Eaton of Des Moines and Rev. Wicker
sham of Boone. At the morning SER
vice Mrs. Bradley sang a well chosen
solo and the choir rendered effectively
the anthem and response. In the
evening the choir was kindly assisted
in the musical program by Prof. East
man with a vocal solo and by Miss
Dow with a violin solo.
