Love is a vital force and must endul


There wonderful things going to do
Some other day,
And harbors hope to drift into
Some other day;
With folded hands and that trail,
We watch and wait for a favorng gale
To fill the folds an idle sail
Some other day.
We know must toll if ever win
Some other day.
But we say to ourselves there's time to begin
Some other day;
And so, dcfcrring, we loiter
Until at last find withdrawn
The strength OF the hope leaned upon,
Some other day.
And when old and is run,
Some other day
We fret for the things that might have been done
Some other day;
We trace the path that leads us where
The reckoning hand OF grim despair
Leads yondcr out of the here,

A sinuous cyclash from the sun,
A golden, leaf shaped, dancing thing,
Bending fernlike in a magic breeze.
And grows
And saps the virgin forests strength
With writhing htin" arms,
And with its red jaws through the gloom
Casts eifin shadows round the room.
And waxing still
1t lashcs round the knottcd wood
With soft but cruel sting,
Till, gorged with strength, it fades away
Beneath a coverlet of gray.
And now,
Like molten sunset from the west,
Pusates as with living breath
Till, dying midst the bones its greed has made
Its heart ia still, and ashes mark the grave

For those who follow truth;
That in world gone wrong
In lust and selfishncss,
In conquest. greed and war,
There are few high ,ouls
Who will not lie,
Who stand for liberty.
Who dare proclaim the right,
Who love the toiling poor,
Who will not bow to gold,
Who fling their high contempt
In the time servers face,
Who dare to stand for Christ
IL spite of all the creeds,
Who dare to stand for man
In spite of all the kings,
The syCophants and thieves
Who bear the wand of power
For such rare souls, o Lord,
For these and all things good

Fred Menu Charges Him With
ConceaIing Property

Simon Essig, Sedgwick county farmer,
Is In the county jail, having been cap
tured at Mulvane by Sheriff Simmons.
while he is alleged to have been trying to
get out Of the country with lot of
rnortgaged property, the title of which is
claimed by Fred Menu, the furniture
dealer. The sheriff not only captured Mr..
Essig, but he secured all of the property
and brought it back TO Wichita. The
property consists of six head of horses,
two wagons, one set OF harness and a
Baker wagon cover In his complaint
which was filed in the city court, Mr.
Menu accuses Essig Of willful intention
TO defraud him by concealing and remov-
Ing all Of the property listed in the COM
plant. Mr.. Esslg is said to have been
very much offended when he was first
arrested and made bitter complaint OF
Mr.. Menu, saying that he would easily get
loose when he told Mr. Menu a thing or
two. When Essig was brought to the
city and put in jail he became more do
Gle and is said to be very uneasy about
the outcome Of the complaint against
him. Essig is a relative of Robert Nc
Clelland, who was recently in Jail for
assaulting his wife, and visited McClel-
land while he was in jail and complained
OF what an awful place it was for a man
TO be. Before his sympathy got cold he
was in the same fix and it is considered

will be fifteen on January 2s'
Lester Rein differs greatly from most
of the riders His habits are absolutely
correct, and he always attends to bust
ness. It is always business before pleas
ure with him, and he never permits his
conceit TO get the best Of him. He is
very modest and dislikes very much 10
mention his successes. He delights. how
ever. in singing the praises of his little
brother Johnny. and says Johnny is the
greatest jockey on the turf.
1t was Lester that brought out Johnny.
He could do this as he had had years
of experience himself. and he taught the
little fellow all OF the TICKS OF the trade.
Lester knew what he himself could do,
and realized what more was possible with
a lighter person who could ride as we'll
as he could. It was natural for him to
pick on his brother. and he took him
away from home before he was twelve
years OF age. Lester had been wrestling

more often than he could. They went
to Saratoga and Johnny did his first rid
ing there.
Johnny in his childhood days did not
take to horses as did Lester, and does
not particularly love them now, except
for their speed. Lester was always a
lover of horses. and at ten years OF age
became the owner of a pony. He lived
at Montgomery City. and though it was
but a short distance TO church he al
ways got out his pony and rode. This
first mount OF his won for him his first
victory at Wichita during the fair there
in 1899. A few months later he secured
a position with L. B. Trowbridge, a we'll
known horseman OF Wellington. Kansas.
and the rest was easy. He stayed with
Trowbridge for some time. and finally
met ]. L. Moore at St Louis. Moore
took a liking to the boy and bought all
OF Trowbridge's horses with the under
standing that ReiH should go with him
to Saratoga He was to get s25 week
the first year, $50 the second, $40 the third
and so the fourth. A year before HIS
time was up he went with Enoeh Wish
ard, Of the famous firm of Duke & Wish
ard, at salary of $4,000 a year.
In 1896 he went to England and won
races that meant thousands Of dollars to
his employer. Today he owns a third
interest in the racing string. and Enoch
Wishard is the trainer. Less than year
ago, when the brothers were in Caltfor-
MIA winning races with Duke & Wishard s
string of horses, they received cable to
come to England and ride for Richard
Croker His horses were sick nearly all
OF the season, and the boys had TO pick
up whatever mounts they could get. I'm
der these circumstances both the boys
won many phenomenal races and are
today among the top notchers' on the

FRIED ONIONS

Indirectly Caused the Death of the
Worlds Greatest General.
1t is a matter OF history that Napoleon
WAS gourmand an inordinate lover of
the good things of the table. and his
tory further records that his favorite dish
was fried onions: his death from cancer
of the stomach IL is claimed also. was
probably caused from his excessive indul-
gence of this fondness for the odorous
vegetable.
The onion Is undoubtedly a wholesome
article of food, in fact has many medici-
nal qualities of value, but it would be
difficult to find a more indigestible article
than fried onions. and to many people
they are simply poison. but the onion does
not stand alone in this respect Any arti-
Gle of food that is not thoroughly digest
ed becomes a source of disease and dis
comfort whether it be fried onions or beef
steak
The reason why any wholesome food is
not promptly digesttd is because the
stomach lacks some important element of
digestion; some stomachs lack peptone,
! others are deficient in gastric juice, still
Others lack hydro chloric acid.
The~ enc thing necessary 10 do in any
case of poor digestion is TO supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
Racks, and nothing does this so thor
pughly and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
