Another Kansas Craze.
Kansas City journal.

Beloit has the best brass band in
Kansas outside of Topeka. Last
week, in perusing the ordinances pass
ed by the city council, we discovered
one which appropriates $500 to the
band leader as his annual salary in
that capacity, and it no longer is a
puzzle to know why Beloit leads all
the country towns in music. The
day is coming when every enterprising
town in the country will support a
band just as it supports fire depart
ment.

Scotland and in England at the parting of
the ways. He was at once the climax of the
old and harbinger of the new. He brought
to perfection what many of his Scottish pre-
decessors and models had practiced with
much charm and ability.
In the Vernacular Scottish song, in the
satire, in the familiar epistle in dramatic
narrative, he rose to a height from which
no successor could depose him. He was the
greatest of Scottish poets, though not the
last, for one other, also of consummate
genius, but of gifts widely different, Sir
Walter Scott. was to follow. AS touching
the poetry of England, the influence of
Burns was perhaps incalculable. More than
any one else, more than Cowper or Words
worth, did he serve to break up the frost
that seemed to be settling upon the lyric
flow in England at the end of the last cen
tury.
"The renaissance of poetry early in this
century owed much to him, and those who
owed to poetry no small part of their higher
education would not grudge him their
thoughtful gratitude. At the same time it
could not be concealed that the taste of
this generation showed few signs of return
ing to the plain, direct objective simplicity
of such as Burns. The poets of to-day that
obtained hearing seemed for the most part
afraid of the simple and elementary topics,
thoughts feelings and passions of their
kind. They wandered away too often over
the head of the ordinary reader rather than
by his side. They dealt in riddles and para
dox in the far-off and the far-fetched they
went in for the cultivated rather than for
the spontaneous, for mist rather than for

Royal Family OF Orleans.

Chicago Record.
The royal family of Orleans for genera
tions has figured among the stingiest of the
stingy Duke Philip is no exception to the
hereditary rule, of which he gave signal
proof once again quite recently in booking,
with his Hapsburgian spouse, Archduchess
Marie Dorothea, from Brussels for Vienna.
The charge for a first-class railway carriage
on the Belgian lines is estimated at the price
of twenty first-class tickets, while on the
German lines the charge is estimated at
twelve tickets a fact of which ms royal
highness was well aware. On starting at
Brussels the Duke demonstrated, declaring
that he would only pay al the rate charged
on German lines, which sum he thereupon
handed to the clerk at the booking office
The station master followed the Duke and
his Archduchess out on the platform and
requested him, in the most courteous terms,
to settle the matter at once in accordance
with the regulations
NO" said Philip, II will not. It's a les
son to you not to overcharge the public. 1
am fully determined not to pay / centime
more than am charged in Germany. Dory,
see, this is our carriage" and then, turning
TO the exasperated station master, he added:
Bon soir, monsieur
Monsieur, fearful of the consequences of
dsputing the question further with blood
royal, turned sullenly his heel and
FASTENED to acquaint his chief, Van Mierlo,
the director general of railways. Van Mierlo
was up to the mark. Blood royal, and for
eign blood royal at that, that wouldn't pay
its way was worthy of no more consdera-
ton that blood plebeian, and he for one was
not going TO be intimidated by the idiosyn-
erasies of his pretendership. Thereupon

his royal highness making up the difference
before the German personnel took charge
of the train.
on reaching Luettich and HerbesthaI the
Prince showed himself as obstinate as ever,
and the platform alteration ended in his
coming off triumphant But his triumph
was short lived. for he fell into the hands of
a Teuton law-abiding and law-enforcing.
"Your royal highness," said he "will pay
in fun the Belgian regulation fare or / un-

ness; which is it 10 be-pay or unhook?"
The mans imperturbability of counten-

aged sixty. For the past eight years Kel-
lum had scarcely been out of his yard, and
spent nearly his entire time in bed. His dis
ease had so baf1ed the physicians that an
autopsy was held and showed that every
organ in his body was affected, the lungs,
spleen and kidneys being nearly entirely
gone, while one side of his heart was badly
shrunken. Physicians claim this to be a
very strange case as the diseased condition
Of any one of the organs was sufficient to
have caused death.
