A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.
Judge Thomson of Burlingame Re-
calls Chapter in the Life of
Senator Harris.

Burlingame, May 31-Judge William
Thomson of Burlingame delivered an
eloquent address at Quenemo Memorial
day to large and appreciative
audience in the opera house. Judge
Thomson spoke for an hour He told
an interesting little story of Senator
Harris as follows:
At the battle of Fair Oaks when the
fury of the fight was on, a captain in
a confederate brigade stopped down
and plucking a wild rose at his feet,
placed it in his hat band After the
battle he sent it to his affianced in Vir-
ginia. The lady planted it, and it grew
and hourished until the war ended.
Married to her soldier lover, the lady
came to Kansas, and bringing with her
slip Of the rose, planted it in Kansas
soil where yearly it perfumes the at
mosphere with it's blossoms. That cap
tain is now our popular senator w. A.
Harris, and just as the rose, forgetful
of the smoke Of battle and it's Virginia
home, rejoiceS in its new location, so
do southern soldiers who have come
among US, like the senator, forget old
animosities and the lost cause and help
US to make Kansas and the nation
great.
Many such are rejoicing with us to-
day in the commemoration of our SOL
der dead, and seeing the grand results
of the great struggle to our country
and mankind, would not now wish that
the issue of battle had been other
wise.
On the question of expansion Judge
Thomson said:
There is not single person within
the compass of my voice whose heart
has not beat exultingly at the success
of our armies and navy within the last
two years. So it is not out Of place for
US to say that when we uphold the
actor we indorse the play. When we
consider the cause for which these boys
imperilled their lives we can have no
words Of condemnation. Onward" is
the language of creation. Stagnation is
death 1t is the inexora Bile finger of
Fate which points our way, and the
hand Of Destiny which beckons US on
ward to enter a larger field and a
broader scope for the spread of Ameri-
can civilization. The joyful peal of the
liberty bell of rs heralded to a listening
world the dawn of a new day in which
the Sun of Freedom should be the light
and glory of all the earth. It is not
yet noon, and, behold, this luminary
already sheds its invigorating beams
beyond the continent to the islands of
the sea- Where shall we bid it stop?
I read the answer in every Hneament
and feature of these returning heroes
and in the responsive expression of ev-
cry patriotic cOuntenance, that the far
thest river tinged with the blood of the
American soldier and sailor, and the
farthest island of the sea halloWed by
the bodies of our heroic dead are and
forever shall be part of this land of
the Free.
The starry banner which has been SC
| bravely unfurled by our Kansas boys

GLOBE SIGHTS.

LFrom the Atchison Globe.1
All the joints have clocks in them;
we wonder what use a joint has for
clock
Some people are so foolish you won
der that they were not killed years ago
by jumping on a moving train.
This world seems to be full of people
who are handicapped because they are
orphans, or because they have too many
kin.
At this season Of the year. the young
men should treat no girl to soda water
whose hands are not stained by put
ting up strawberries.
We have noticed that when all the
children go away on visit, their par
ents don't seem to enjoy the quiet as
much as they had expected.
It should be remembered to the credit
Of the graduate that the essay she
wrote on the Higher Life" does not
necessarily interfere with her career as
a bread maker.
This world will move along more
smoothly when the sin of making poor
biscuits weighs as heavily on a woman's
conscience as the biscuits lie on her
husbands stomach.
When women wear heavy mourning,
not more than two Of them should be
seen on the streets together. The sight
of six women together dressed in black
is depressing enough to put the sun out
of business.
Statistics should be compiled show
ing how long 1t would take a man to
promote himself from the lowest to the
highest position by putting into one
days work half the energy he puts into
golf in the evening.
It AL depends upon the point Of view.

R.EvERENCE FOR ALL.

Memorial day marching columns this
year differed from those of the past
throughout the United States. Side by
side. in perfect unison, passed the feeble
veteran of 81 and the sprightly young
warrior of the campaign of San Juan
and Luzon. Flowers for the heroes of
the Wilderness and Gettysburg were no
more plentiful than roses for the Rough
Riders or the dead from the isles be-
yond the sea.
Reverence was paid alike to the SOL
diers old and soldiers new. The Ameri-
can people offered graceful tribute at
the green mounds Of the nations heroes
yesterday in solemn remembrance of
the glorious deeds performed. 1t is
we'll with them now. They who sleep in
honored graves

Better Street Car Service Wanted.

Topeka, May 31st, 1900.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The people living in the eastern part
of the city and in Oakland would like
a chance to ride home from the street
fair as well as other people. The cars
are crowded to the guards going up but
when the last car goes out to Oakland
from the transfer station at IL p. m. it
is almost impossible to get on that car.
Had it not rained last night and drove
people home, it would have been i'm
possible for the last car to have car
ried the crowd. Please suggest in this
evenings paper that the company place
trailers on their cars when necessary.
The company knows they are needed
during this week.
