Deceitful, but Brave.

He had been out late. When be
reached his residence. the clock was
Ginning 5. Heavy, weary, disguised,
he opened the front door with some
difficulty and softly toiled up the stairs,
entering the bedchamber with elaborate
caution.
Thank goodness. she was asleep!
He dropped into a chair, and, with
out taking off his coat or hat, began to
remove his shoes. One he placed with
great care upon the floor, but, alas, as
he took off the other it slipped out of
his hand and fell with a loud noise.
"Wifey' awoke on the instant.
She looked at him and then at the
sunlight that streamed through the
blinds.
"Why, George. what are You getting
up so early for?"
Talk about reprievesl
"Why, my DEAR" replied George,
with the clearest e%nunciation of which
he was capable, II found I couldn't
sleep, so I thought I'd get up and go
out and take a walk"
And ont the poor wretch went, drag
ging himself round YEARLY for an hour
upon the verge Of tears and torpor.

He Returned the Compliments.

A young man and a young woman
are leaning over the front gate. They
are lovers. 1t is moonlight. He is loath
to leave, as the parting is the last. He
is about to go away. She is reluctant to
see him depart. They swing on the
gate.
"I'll never forget you," he says,
land if death should claim me. my last
thought will be Of you"
"I'll be true to you," she sobs. "I'll
never see anybody else or love them as
long as I live"
They parted. Six years later he re-
turns. His sweetheart of former years
has married. They meet at a party.
She has changed greatly. Between the
dances the recognition takes place.
"Let me see, she muses., with her
fan beating a tattoo on her pretty hand,
"was it you or your brother who was
my old sweetheart

THE CLIMATE OF CHICAGO,
How Could the Poor Frenchman Tell
What 1t Could Dot

While in Chicago M. de Monvel, the
French artist, heard one story that puz-
zled him. 1t was told at a dinner party,
and he smiled just as if he understood
it. That night he thought it over. but
the more he thought the less he COM
pretended it. Finally a fellow artist
who had heard the story repeated it,
drew pictures Of it, and then a light
broke on M. de Monvel, and he laughed.
"Ah, we Frenchmen are stupid when
compared with the Americans!" he ex-
claimed. II shall tell that story, and it
will make Paris laugh"
The little tale was about a French
carpenter who. bought a saw from a
Chicago manufacturer who made a
specially of advertising. Engraved on
the tool was the assurance that "day in
and day out this saw will wear longer
than any other ON the market" The
Frenchman read the advertisement,
and the day he bought the saw he put
it carefully away. The next day he
used it and left it out Of doors in the
pouring rain. A neighhor demonstrated
with him for his carelessness, and he
picked up the saw, pointed to its in
scription and exclaimed:
"Does not lie scie-no, I mean re saw
say un jour in ct III jour out-one
day in and one day out-and zis will
wear longer than all re saws? I have
left him in one day. Now I follow d.
rec-she-ong-I leave him out one day.
Re climate of She-ka-go-how can I tell
what she will do?"-Chicago Inter

"KnOtty" History.

Tying knots in a handkerchief to jog
ones memory had it's origin in China
thousands Of years ago. Before writing
was invented in that country. which
did not happen until 5000 B. c., memo.
rable and important events were record.
ed by long knotted cords. The most an.
cient history Of China is still preserved
as told by these knots.
When Emperor Tschang XII invented
writing, the entire system Of 'knot.
ting" was abandoned. And today the
memory knots made by us in handker.
chiefs are the only surviving descend
ants Of that ancient custom.

THERE is an article in the Appeal to
Reason over the signature of Charley
Jesse. in which the INDEX is wrong.
fully and unjustly criticised. The arti-
Gle says that the INDEX devotes very
little space to the discussion of politl-
cal reforms but devotes its time almost
exclusively to discussion of medical
remedies and plan to get on the short
est route to the pie counter, or words
to that effect. To these charges we
plead not guilty. If Charley has read
the INDEX as he should have done. he
must know that more space has been
devoted to . discussion Of the Peoples
party principles as laid down in the
various platforms, than it has to both
local news and advertising matter COM
bined. We do not care to indulge in
self praise but we will say to our friend
Jesse that if he desires any corrobora-
tive evidence on this point, we will
show him some personal letters in
which we have the congratulations
of some OF the leading reform ad-
vocates Of this state, and they are
men who are conceded to be both
honest and intelligent, whose records
Will bear the most careful investiga-
ton. We have no apology to offer for
the advertising matter we carry. We
carry it simply because we are paid for
doing so and we must have some means
OF keeping up expenses and crediting
delinquent subscribers. In discussing
the principles of Populism and social
ism, Charley admits that they are vir-
tually the same but he says the Popu-
lists will never carry their promises in
To effect. We submit, however, that
he cannot maintain his position, By
Judging the future from the past. Dur
ing the short time the Populists were
in power in Kansas they have enacted
more good reform measures than have
been acted By all the previous admins
tTations. We do not say that they
could not have done better. The Pop.
ulist party has had some bad, untrust.
worthy men and it always will have,
we presume, and we do not propose to
apologize for that class of men. But
all parties are afflicted in q similar
manner. We say again that Mr.. Jesse
cannot say that if his party should sue
coed that some of his men would not
also become corrupt. We want to warn
him again that campaign made on
men is not worthy of following. Good
men are all right so far as they 20, but
one good law is better for the whole
people than a whole regiment of good
men. Vote Tor principle and you will
get something, but as long you divide
on individuals the trusts will own you.
The INDEX has no Ill will for Charley
Jesse and he has our thanks for the
write-up;" and since his remarks have
been principally personal, he will per-
NIT US to advise him to take freely of
the ''early riser" and the giant pill,''
If he conscientiously believes that they
are the proper remedy for disordered

AS A. L. Herr and wife were return
ing from the Lodge last Saturday night
they met with an accident which might
haye been serious, in fact only forth
natecircumstances saved their lives.
AS they were going down the hill just
south of U. s. Landis' place, one of the
horses stumbled and fell. The buggy
ran against them and they began to
run furiously. AS the lines became
wrapped around the tongue Mr.. Herr
was left powerless to control the team
and the buggy was upset. AS the top
of the buggy was up, neither know
how they got out of the buggy as 1t
would seem impossible under the cir
cumstances. The team was entirely
lost and no one was able to get any
clue to it till the next morning when 1t
was found nearthe old Kiowa school
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Herr would have
hsen left without any means to CON-
plete their journey homo had it not
been for the fact that they were over
taken by two seated rig occupied by
A. G. smith, i. g. Golf and the editor.
The accident Terminated very FORUM
ately as neither party was seriously 10.
jured, the buggy alone suffering some
damage.--Kiowa Review.

Ralph Faxon wrote up the Populist
convention for the Kiowa Journal. He
does not agree with the Cresset as to
Eho were the chief moguls. They
ought 70 get together and agree on a
story before they dish it out to the pub
lie. The fact is, and tbs republicans
know it. that the Populist cenyantion
was managed by the rank and file OF
the party. We are not vain enough to
say that ttis is always the case even in
