CAUSING TROUBLE.
Attorneys Want Sale Of Judgments
Stopped in Mcpherson County.

Mcpherson Republican; The law
requiring the sale Of old judgments is
giving no end Of trouble to the coun-
ty commissioners. The board held
an extra session Wednesday and at
this meeting several pretty pressing
requests were made by attorneys in
the interest of clients to stop the
sale of certain judgments. The
board did not grant all the requests.
The judgments will be sold if any
body wants to buy them. Then
there is a chance for trouble in var
ious ways, in any of which the coun-
ty can hardly fail to come out loser.

Three Odd Cities,

The famous old city Of Ghent, Bel
GUM, is built on twenty-six islands
which are connected with one another
by eighty bridges. Three hundred
streets and thirty public squares are
contained in these Islands. Client is
famous because Charles V and John
Of Gaunt were born there. 1t has been
the scene of many treaties, insurrec-
tons and revolts, and it was there the
treaty was made terminating the war
of 1872 between this country and Eng
land.
Amsterdam also resembles venice
because it is built on piles driven
through the earth into the water below.
Three hundred bridges span the many
canals which divide the city, ten miles
in circumference, into ninety islands.
Venice is built on eighty islands and
has 400 bridges, which are very steep
and have many steps. The canals and
gondolas of Venice are world-famous.
About eighty miles is the circumfer-
ence of the city.

NY LITTLE DAUGHTER. "
q Pearl from the Facile Pen of Living.
ston Hunt.

She is'sunshine when she.. takes my
hand: she is my blue sky without,a
cloud when she lifts her little arms to
me. When l rest my finger tips upon
her little shoulder and walk by her
side, she needs 10 telling to make her
feel that it is her strength which is sup
porting mine, for a grown man is
weak thing, and there is no prop like
a child. | know that her little heat
beats faster when | lean thus upon her,
for one day she told me so; and her
pride in the telling was gallant bit of
fuss and parade. Such perturbation,
such pother with small arms, such
robustiousness of small actions, was
never seen before in such small body,
gazed in wonder until | was forced to
fold her in my arms to quiet her.
This little child, this little pearl
from heaven, this daughter of her
mothers gray eyes, is as free of human
sin as Is ray of natures moonlight on
the water, or as are the little beams of
the little break o'day which issues from
the leaves Of every white rose. My
voice grows soft and sweet when it
mingles with hers in speech. am GER
tain then that am good man.
| remember many years ago-al-
though it was only last summer-that
my soul was suak in doubt, save that
it believed itself clod. But what des-
pondcncy could stand against the refu-
tation in her crystal eyes? For they
are the windows into sinless skies where
dwell the angels and God. She is my
answer to every hope which wings its
way heavenward. She is my altar, and
at night my once stubborn knees are
glad TO bend before the sweet picture
Ct her slumber. As | watch her, then
some fairy hand drops dew upon the
white leaf of her lip, and she lies a
flower in flesh and blood, the breathing
restoration Of the childhood of her
mother-that childhood which true love
must ever long to know. Her face is
then veritable Easter chalice, from
which my love Of God can drink its fill
of alteration.
All, me. my praise of her is sweet to
speak, and yet fear to let it flow and
thicken, for there are those who are not
so happy as |, and they might think l
babbled.' But it is only true, and must
tell it, that she is my dream of life's
beauty, without sleep to clog the dream.
She is sweet music without the unrest
that sweet music brings. She is love
without loves pain. 1t is because of
her that can look upon the gathering
haze of distant hills at twilight, and
yet feel no answering mist o'ercloud my
eye. She is my north star in the sky
of duty. She is my gentleness, my
simple joy, nay faith, my worship She
is my peace Of God which passeth all
understanding.

Dewey Leaves Hong Kong.

The United States cruiser Olympia
with Admiral Dewey on board left
Hong Kong at o'clock Tuesday after
noon. There was no demonstration.
The weather was Wretched. 1t was
blowing and raining hard at the time OF
the departure. While passing the
British cruiser Powerful, the band Of
the Olympia played the British ma
tional anthem and gave salute. There
was no firing. The Powerful replied
with a similar salute and her band
rlayed Hail Columbia" AS the
Olympia passed the Italian admiral's
ship, the Olympia's band played the
Italian national anthem and gave an
admiral's salute, which compliments
were returned. Then the Olympia s
band played "Auld Lang Syne," and
the band of the Powerful played Home,
Sweet Home" "
Consul Wildman remained on the
Olympia until the last minute with a
few friends of the admiral, who went
aboard to bid him farewell. At 4
Q clock sharp the ensign was run up to
the peak and large admiral's flag was
hoisted at the main. The Olympia
moved of with marine guard drawn
m on her poop.

The Climate Of Cape Colony.

The climate of the Cape Colony, and
indeed of South Africa, may be COM
pared to that of the south Of Europe
and the north Of Africa, with frost
and snow on the highest lands and
subtropical belts on the lowest lying
parts. as in Natal, Zululand and Mas
honaland. 1t may be roughly said that
any part of South Africa is better for
those suffering from chest complaint
than is the climate Of our home coun-
try. at the most trying time Of the year.
But those who come 10 South Africa
hoping to escape from this disease
should not as a general rule delay on
the coast.
The Cape peninsula is delightful for
most people, but it is not by any means
best for those who are constitutionally
inclined to consumption. They must
leave the coast, no matter how many
inducements there may be for them
to stay, and climb the tableland which
faces them at whatever port they may
land At irregular distances from the
sea we have probably nowhere more
than a hundred miles OF low-lying
coast lands before we ascend. Once on
the tableland. so far as climate goes,
it matters not in what direction health
seekers proceed, the climate is equally
GOOD

They Keep Settlers Away From Many
Parts of the World.
Nothing could more strikingly Illus
trate the importance Of small things
than the large role which is now attrib-
uted to the mosquito in the etiology OF
some of the most serious and wide
spread diseases to which the human
race is subject It is truly said that
what prevents the successful coloniza-
ton Of many tropical countries, and
what throws the greatest obstacle IN
the way Of civilization and OF gooo
government in vast regions OF Central
Africa, is not climate, not distance
from home and not unfriendllness on
the part Of the natives. The obstacle Is
malaria, and now we find that the
prevalence of malaria, so far as man
is concerned, depends on the mosquito,
and that this pestilent little insect, in
addition to irritating and annoying, is
the means by which the poison Of mala-
ria is propagatcd and distributed.
For years back botanists have known
the important part played by birds in
the scattering Of seed, and Of insects
in the distribution Of the pollen OF
plants, and it seems not unlikely that
patholcgists will have to recognize IN
much larger degree than has till lately
been done the large part taken by the
subordinate forms of life by which we
are surrounded-ou cattle, our horses,
our dogs and cats, our flies, our mos
quitoes, and perhaps even our feas-in
distributing disease from man to man,
and, as is stated in regard to the mos
quito and malaria, in deciding whether
the extension of our empire over great
areas of the globes surface shall be
possible or not.
