A little girl, before going out to a tea
party, was coached in conduct by fond
mamma.
"You may take cake twice If it is Of

On her return home she gave assurance
that she had remembered and followed
the maternal instructions. But" she

An Object Lesson in Mexico.

An American farmer near Guadalajara
tells Modern Mexico how he convinced
his Mexican neighbors that oxen could do
more work under American yokes than
under the old-fashioned head yokes, so
generally used in the republic. The
American brought several modern yokes
from the states and used them with sue
cess. The curiosity of his Mexican
friends was aroused and they proceeded
to ask questions.
We'll" said the American when you
lasso steer and the lasso gets around
his neck what do you do?"
Turn him loose" was the reply.
'Why?"
Because he's too strong for us that
way"
That's It," answered the American.
"His strength is in his neck, not in his
horns.'
The Mexicans saw the point, and now
yokes of United States manufacture are
generally used in that neighborhood.

the following on Lawyer Chapman, of
Los Angeles: Chapman is good at land
and title questions, and he was associat-

and loves a good dinner.
One day, just before the big case was
to come up in court, Chapman ran against
a good dinner. and ate more than he
ought. The next day ha was sick, and
White took a doctor around to see him.
Chapman was groaning with pain, and
the doctor was puzzled. At last the doc
tor noticed a red SPOT on Chapman's
cheek bone, and came to the conclusion
that Chapman needed a dentist, and told
him So you have an liberated tooth.

Ex-Governor "Bob" Taylor.

Grenada enjoyed for few hours
Tuesday afternoon the presence OF Bob
Taylor, ex-governor of Tennessee, and
one OF the most popular men in the
South today. While here several of
his Grenada friends, and among them
the writer, visited him at the Grenada
Hotel. They found him as big heart
ed, congenial and approachaNle as ever,
and in tie best OF health and spirits.
He was on his way from Memphis,
where he le:tured Monday night, to Ok
ford, where'lectured he Tuesday night.
Commenting on his Memphis lecture
the Scimitar says:
He carried the audience with him
along the road OF laughter, and into the
realms of love, and then he took them
riding on the river Of song. He talked
about music and nature and love, and
smoOthed the wrinkles OF care"

A GRAND RECEPTION,

That is what the people of the
city of Great Bend and vacinity
gave to Lieutenant Colonel Cash
Moses, and Sergeant Ollie Swartz
at the opera house last Monday
night. Both are returned Phil
ippine veterans, Col. Moses hav-
ing served with the Colorado vol
unteers, and Sargt. Swartz with
the Montana volunteers.
With that spontaniety that is
characteristic of Kansas people
when they decide to do the right
thing, the opera house was pack
ed with our people ready and
willing to extend a hearty well
come to the Barton county boys
who had served under the Stars
and Stripes in the Spanish-Amer-
can war
An interesting program was
carried out, consisting of songs,
Instrumental music, and short
addresses of welcome by a large
number of our citizens, without
regard to party or creed. Most
of the addresses were eXtempo-
raneous, the speakers having had
no time to prepare set speeches.
They were short, pithy, and gen
orally very appropriate for such
an occasion.
Mrs. Col. Moses favored the
audience with an exquisite solo,
after which Col. Moses gave a
good description of Manila and
the Philippine islands, the people
and their habits, resources, etc.
His talk was exceedingly inter-
esting and highly appreciated
by his old Barton county friends.
Sargt. Swartz also made few
remarks, describing his expert
ences in the foreign land.
After the close Of the speech
making all who desired them
We're furnished refreshments at
15 cents a plate, in the lower
room, and many hundreds stay
ed until early morning.
Had there been more time tax
en- in preparation, and had the
public generally been informed of
the reception, thousands instead
OF hundreds would have gladly
gathered to thus welcome home
our boys.

corn on stock, is wanted for the Paris
exposition. Kansas desires that each
county be represented in the state ex

should not be behind her neighbOrs in
this matter. Harry Shore was ap-
pointed to make collections for this
county. but not having the time to
attend To il he has turned the matt,
over TO Capt J F Lewis. Transpor-
tation is furnished free, and each sam

etc. Bring not less than one gallon OF
wheat samples, and the corn and ksfir
corn can be tied in neat punches. The

Died at the Morrison.

Last Thursday. the 18th, travelling
man, E. II. Crosse, stopped at the
Morrison housa in this City. He com-
planned of feeling sick during the day,
but appeared at meals all right, alA
though he looked like an i'll man.
During Thursday night he was heard
to groaD as thoagh in pain, in his
room, but did not call any one, About
8 O'Clock Friday morning the hotel peo
pie entered his loom and found him in
an unconscious condition. Doctors
Morrison and Connett were called, but
the man was dying, and breathed his
last about 10 a. N.
The man was travelling for a. Stems
horst s. Co., of Kansas City, and was
apparently awaiting a draft for ex
pense money, as when his belongings
were searched less than 80 cents was
found in his possession. The county
officials took charge of the remains,
aud notified his house of the death;
and on Saturday the remains were
shipped to Kansas City.
The man was about 45 years old
and although the manner of his death
was rather mysterious. it was deemed

BUT two of the star performers
showed up in the Barton county
republican Newspaper circus last
week. The Hoisington Dispatch,
Clafin Clarion, and Great Bend
Register did not cut any capers
worth mentioning. The Ellin-
wood Leader man, however, en-
tertained its readers with a low
ing tribute to the peculiar graft
fication of his brother editor
and republican exponent, O'Blen-
iss. "Jo-Jo" painted "Oscar
Wilde O'Bleniss" as "a lantern
jawed skeleton" a ''carrion ca
daver, then growing more elo-
quent, if not elegant, called him
a dirty, low-lived, cowardly,
lying sneak When "JO-JO, "
with his ''corpulencente" (what-
ever that thineumabob isl got
the above off it brought down
the house, and was certainly
good for Zwi lager. The other
principal performer last week
was Editor TOwnsley. He gave
an exhibition of himself as a liv-
ing example of a bad case of
nightmare He imagines the
DEMOCRAT is trying to incite
someone to wallop him. He
knows that conscience makes
towards of us all" (if he sdon' t
know enough to read the demo-
cratic platfOrms) and his con-
science having pricked him, he
has bad dreams, and worse taste
for telling them. Then, too,
there may be something besides
his conscience kicking up a dis
turbance with him. You know
that early in the campaign OF
1896 hewanted "twins wanted
a double standard-silver and
gold; but the ST. Louis cOnven-
tion came along and he was
forcibly compelled to be content
with but one-the gold standard.
1t may be that he is now labor
ing again with the twin idea,
and is fearful that one will be a
trust and the other a "bust. .
Anyhow, he has something very
unsettled the matter with him.
