LOVE THAT LASTS.

Love that lasts a1ifetime through,
Hearts that travel lightly,
Eyes that choose the sunny view,
Lips that laugh so sprighily
Happy they that hand in hand
Thus 60 onward singing.
All their worlds fairyland
With magic chime-bells ringing
For all things love the souls that love,
And smooth the road they're vending
The dimpling sky smiles from above
Around their rapture bending
And stars in heavens midnight blue,
O shine they ne'er so brightly
As on the souls that love life through.
The hearts that travel lightly.

A small rod, the size and length Of

begins, the boy who is challenged pro-

rod with the challenger's. Both spiders
make rush for each other and a fierce
battle ensues. Sometimes the stronger
of the two will wind a web aroupd the
other, fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out Of business.
The spiders sometimes fight for 10

II may be taken as evidence Of the

that the little daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt was re-
Gently christened with the aid Of a
marvellous christening ring that cost
$4,000 and that once graced the hand
Of princess Of the blood royal on the
occasion Of another christening some
200 years ago. The christening ring
was bought By Mr.yanderbilt in Eu-
rope. Curiously enough, It bears the
initials "E. D." those Of Mrs. Wander
bilt. The ring is Of dull Burmese gold,
set with a pure white opal. 1t will be
worn by Mrs. Vanderbilt Oh the little
finger of her left hand.
In its antique setting it is identical
with the famous marriage ring given
by theEmperor Napoleon to josephine.

PUSHING THE WORK.
PAYERS and Sidewalk Layers Are Now
Rushing the Construction.

Very few citizens realize the amount
of work being done on the streets of
Topeka. There never has been a time
in the history of the city when this
work was pushed as is now being done,
and more than that it is being we'll
done. More paving has been done dur
ing the first six months of this year
than was done during any year prior.
In addition to the paving about rs men
are at work grading, putting in cross
walks, filling for sidewalks, cutting
weeds and cleaning the streets. Of
course more men could be used and all
the paved streets could be cleaned every
day but there is a limit to the amount
of money to be used in the street de-
partment and it has to be used to the
best advantage. Over 200 wagon loads
of dirt are swept from the paved streets
every week. Where all this rubbish
comes from would be hard question to
answer.
The amount of sidewalk being put
down is another matter on which the
city is to be congratulated. A drive
through Potwin, Sixth to Morris avenue
through Lowman Hill and over the
southwest part of town will show the
enormous amount of street work being
done or recently completed.
There are many complaints to the
street department but there are very
few of them that are reasonable and on
the whole the work has been exception
ally well handled.

When a resident of Topeka whose
statement appears below, who has no
monetary or other interest in the article
which he endorses, who is anxious TO DO
his acquaintance and fellow residents
a good turn, who publishes in this paper
his experience with Doan's Kidney P1lis
that citizen must have good and sufti-
cient reason for doing so. The follow
ing should dispel any doubts which
might have existed in the readers mind
on this subject:
Mr.. M. l. Terrence of s1s East 9Th
street, carpenter, says: Il had kidney
complaint for three or four years and
had to give up the grocery business on
account of my health. My kidneys trou-
bled me severely in the winter of 1898,
causing severe pain in my back, very
severe nights, and the too frequent ac-
ton of the kidneys bothered me day and
night. l procured Doan'S Kidney Pills
at Rowley & Shows drug store. 1t gave
such good satisfaction that I continued
the treatment. After completing the
second box, I felt they had made a per-
manent cure There has not been the
slightest return Of the trouble since.

William Birch,a Mitchell County
Farmer,
Loses Eighteen Stacks of Wheat,
About 1000 Bushels
BY INCENDIARY FIRE.
Left Seven or Eight Stacks of
His Poorest Grain.
Another Mitchell Co. Farmer
Harvests $50 Acres of Gram.

Scottsville, July 16.-Wm. Birch, a
farmer living near here, lost eighteen
stacks of wheat estimated close to 1000
bushels, by fire, supposed to have been
of incendiary origin. The wheat burn
ed was all good, and the balance of
seven or eight stacks, was his poorest
yield, which was saved.
The new elevator being built here by
r. ]. Loomis will be completed in time
to handle the wheat crop. 1t is the first
modern elevator the town has ever had.
The Messrs- sCulps, c. w, f. NJ. and
Archie, have succeeded in saving all
their $50 acres of wheat and that al
ready threshed out by them is safe to
estimate not less than twenty bushels
an acre. These men were lucky this
year in not planting any corn. Very
little corn was planted in this vicinity
but the yield of wheat was good, and
the acreage large.

UNDER AN EVIL STAR.

Horses is Disabled.

The streak of bad luck is still follow

the fourth one has been injured.
During the run to the fire at Thir-

the hose wagon at station No. 4, step
ped on something sharp which pierced
his hoof. Yesterday he went lame and
had to be taken out of service. A green
horse is doing duty in his place. While
the hose wagon was going to the fire
serious accident was narrowly averted.
At Eleventh and Western avenue the
street graders left their wagons across
the street as a barricade but failed to
place any signal lights. The obstruc
ton was in the shadow of some trees
and the driver did not see the wagons
until within so feet of them. He man.
aged to stop just as the pole of the hose
wagon struck the side of one of the
wagons. Everyone who blockades a
street should leave lights to show the
danger. The city ordinances require it.

To Buy Topolobampo Lands.

Abilene July 16.-The end of the old
Topolobampo colony lands is likely to
be that they will be vast sugar plan
tation. A Buffalo, N. Y, capitalist here
this week says that company of New
York spectators has secured a portion
of the lands, buying them from the
original company, and that they are
getting title to others from individuals.
They propose to start a sugar mill later,
for the present using one that is near
the land. An expert sent there reports
that conditions are favorable for sugar
raising and they are attempting to en-
list the investment of Hawaiian cap
italists as well as those of this country.
They believe that there is a great future
for the west coast of Mexico as sugar
raising section and that better sugar
can be produced than on the Gulf coast
of the south.
