Do Not SANDER.
The Mercury, in it's last issue, SAYS:

The Mercury, in its last issue, says:
Some time ago. our esteemed con-
temporary was having n heap of fun
because the Little Governor as it
calls Stanley, had failed to close the
Infamous KlOnkike res orts that -four
ished under Leedy and contributed to
his campaign fund. Will it now pub
lish the fact that the KlOndike has
been closed. that there is not joint
running there, nor a glass of liquor
af any kind to be had within its limits.
These are the facts, as everyone in
Leavenworth county knows, and if
our contemporary is fair it will give
just as public mention of them as it
did of the fact that they had not been
closed some months ago. 1t took time;
of course, but considering that they
had run wide open under Leedy, that
under his benefcent protection the out
laws and criminals there domiciled
had robbed and murdered old soldiers
with impunity. that the officials of
LeavenwOrth county We're openly ac-
cused of being in league with them,
the time that it has taken to absolutely
eradicate this plague spot is very
short.
Well, no! We have not as yet
found out thar the governor has sue
ceeded in closing the .Klondike. In
fact, no one but the governors pri
vate secretary, who inspires these
mystical tales of publication, and the
editor of the Mercury, seem to believe
that this hell hole has been wiped out.
The day before Smiths assertion was
tnl hn
statement from an old soldier OF the
National home to the effect that five
places in the KlOndike had been closed
and that twenty-five were still run
ming in full blast. Since then the
Star and Times, of Kansas City. have
each asserted that the KlonGike was
still running. And now comes Buck"
Dawes, who has had nearly 81 900 of
the governors contingent fund, and
asserts that he has closed them. He
says that il they are running he don't
know of il. OF course he don't.
AS matter of fact, Smiths attack
on US was purely for the purpose of
getting q chance to throw mud at
Leedy He says these places existed
under Leedy. That is correct, and so
| they have under Stanley Morrill, and
every other republican governor, but
when he asserts that these places were
protected by Leedy and that they con
tributed to his campaign fund, he is
talking about that which, in the very
nature of things, he can know nothing
| about. 1t is just his usual tactics of
throwing mud in the hope that some
OF it will stick. He makes good ar
gument when he talks on subjects on
which he is posted. but when he draws
wholly on his imagination, as in this
en- ort to SANDER the. ex-governor. he
makes a very poor showing

was sustained by public opinion
was that as to whether the world was
round or fat. and the club had de-
c1ded by mjority vote that it was
fiat, and that to this day scientists
and scholars accepted the judgment of
the club, and no man was SO bold as
to call the verdict iu question.
Mr. Smith responded to the toast,
''True Sociability," in his usual
scholarly and happy manner. He
said that such occasions as they were
participating in were of great value,
in that they demonstrated that We
could meet together in social inter-
course and enjoy ourselves regardless
of the fact thai we might not agree in
business, politics or religion, and that
if it were not for such occasions there
would be no true sociability; that in
the practice of law he was continually
meeting such men as his friend Dyer,
and that. it he regarded their inter-
course from purely the standpoint de-
veloped in court, he should have been
compelled to exterminate him with a
gun, but looking at the matter from a
social standpoint, he was constrained
to regard him as a valuable friend,
and that the same was true with the
editor of the GRAPHIC, who he was
pleased to call his friend in social life,
although as an editor he had mighty
little use for him. He continued at
some length, with many other happy
sallies of the same nature.
The editor of the GRAPHIC responded
to the sentiment, "The True Object
and Aim of Life,'' taking the ground
that the great aim was happiness, but
that success in any line, financial,
craftsmanship, or on the tented field
did not necessarily bring happiness;
that true happiness came to the man
who lived by the Golden Rule::s that
the really happy man was the-one who
contl ibuted to the happiness of others,
even though his only reward was an
approving conscience, and that there
fore the true object and aim of life
was happiness, which could only come
to man as the result of good deeds.
President Dcmain was called for
and gave very interesting account
of the trials and hardships of the
early settlers in the county, paying a
.wen-deserved tribute to Mr.. Edwards
for the manner in which he assisted
many of them when they were entirely
without resources.
Alec Montgomery read an original
poem, describing the members who
participated in the meeting of year
ago. hitting them off with many a
subtle touch of his original Irish wit.
There were several short talks by
members who were not on the program
and the evening g'sentertainment closed
with many happy expressions of good
will and fellowship, and the general
sentiment seemed to be one of pleas

come to stay as one of our permanent

Marry and Part For n Year.

Among the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people of Central
America is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemniZed. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is 10 courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When man selects a
woman, he obtains the consent of the
parents on both sides, and if this is
given they are at once married.
The reason. however, for their not
living together as man and wife for
one year after marriage is In order to
permit of the parties visiting and
staying with their respective friends
in different parts of the country, which
is Il customary thing and occupies the
time specified. Ninety-nine out of 100
of these marriages turn out we'll

Air and story Both out.

The bicycle "masher" Is one Of the
greatest annoyances that women cy-
clists have TO contend with. a Chicago
girl disposed of one of these pests i'll q
decidedly effective manner yesterday.
She was riding down Michigan ave-
nue., when she noticed that a young
man was pedaling along, close beside
her. She Increased her speed, but he
still kept alongside. Then she slack
ened her pace, but he slowed up also.
He did, not speak, but she could feel
his eyes fixed on her, and it made her
nervous.
Presently she rode up to the curb,
dismounted and proceeded to examine
the pedals of her wheel. In an instant
the trailer was at her side proffering
assistance.
Il think the pedal is twisted" she
said, land l don't believe l have q
wrench" The obliging young man
knelt down and examined the pedals,
then. taking a wrench from his tool
bag. he proceeded to tighten up the
parts of the wheel. At the same time
she took from her hat q long, shiny
pin and jabbed it three times into the
rear tire of his wheel. When he had
concluded his ministratiOns, she
thanked him with a betwitching smile,
and, mounting her wheel, rode slowly
away. \ few minutes after he told
the bicycle repair man all about it, and
that's how the story got out.-Chicago
