the bliss of the bride and the un-
searchable glory of the mother,
and toothless and furious they
would wind their gaunt arms
about the radiant forms of human
happiness and see the lovelight die
in the gloom of their own imagi-
nations.-These are some of those
whom the world could get along
without.
"To be honest, to be kind, to
to earn a little and to spend a Its
tie less; to make upon the whole
a family happier by his presence;
to renounce when that shall be
necessary and not to be embit-
tered; to keep a few friends, but
these without capitulation; above
all, on the same given conditions,
to keep friends with HIMSELF
here is a task for all that a man
has of fortitude and dellcacy."
And this is what the Rambler
tries to do.
Burns might have called this
the pathos and sublime of human
life, for it is noble in its pathos
and pathetic in it's granduer. 1t
is in it's real significance the
royal road across the marshes to
the foot Of the hill, and on up the
slope, winding in and out
amongst the stony spurs and
spanning the deep places, till the
fowery, grassy, song-haunted,
sun-kissed summit shimmers a
vast plane even unto the hOri-
IONS fair verge! Somewhere in
the soul of every mortal there is
cherished, distinctly or in faint
est shadowy form, a dream OF
some place even in this world
where there shall be peace for
the wicked and the weary. Yea!
there is none wandering however
far from the way that is right
who does not now and then
catch something of the perfumed
air that comes so gently down
from the higher life. The devils
spear may burn and bruise and
beat down, but it cannot reach
the sweetly ringing Angelus bell,
nor stay the notes rolling on,
to ward the soul of all them tina
are heavy-laden and sorely need
full of rest. For Marguerite ano
for Faust there is cleanliness anc
heaven!

PARODOXICAL PARODY.
BY B. B RA1FoRD.

When, in the course of human events,
The public money has been spent,
Butler and his motley crew,
Isn't it a pretty howd'y'do,
That such awful degradation,
Should befall our State and nation?
I suggest an Interpretation,
To this great Interrogation,
Who, then, forsooth, is Marion But
Ter?
Gust a senatorial sutler,
Seeking what he might devour,
With his mighty ~ money power"
Like unto a fop-eared poodle,
He's just simply after "boodle";
For with features of a monkey
And the encores Of a donkey
A hybrid cur-with twin-set-gace,
Would sink our State in. deep dis
grace.
For tbs the song of Marion's men,
"Down with Aycock, and Bob
Glenn"
This also is their loudest metre,
"Rah! for Marion, and Jeter,
For twill be too utterly UTTER,
If we lose our bread and butter
"No longer Senators we'll be,
When the mig is from votin' free.
If the Amendment is carried,
No longer will we three be married,
This is only what we r alter.
The votin' blackandtan mulatter.'

The mere cut of a mans coat
or of a woman's gown is not Of
first import. The smock-frock
may be for the true man the re-
gala of the elect; a print gown a
true woman's bridal robe. Such
raiment is not for the waved
floor of the bathrooms; but it is
evening dress for millions of good
men and women who never saw
lavender gloves and white lace
and whose lives make the world
better. The peasant girl with
coarse skirt and sabot, bending
to the Angelus call across the
fields, is guarded by the same
Spirit that guard the silken-robed
bellies kneeling by the downy
cough in perfumed chamber. The
| God of the Tsar is the God of she
Moujik. The human soul, what.
ever it's environment, may be al.
ways in evening dress.

KANSAS TITLES ARE INVOLVED.
Charged That Deed TO u 1000 Acre
Ranch Was Forged.

Fort Scott, Kas,, May 2S.--"The un.
known heirs" Of II. c. Peterson, late
of Cambridge, Ill.,, are the defendants
in a suit begun in the district court
here, which is based on the allega-
ton that John Driscol, once a wealthy
mmbermnn of OcontO, Wis, and who
died on his coffee plantation in Gem
trail America few years ago, forged
the name of his insane wife, Deborah
Driscoll, to deed conveying 1000
acre improved ranch near this city.
The forgery is alleged to have been
committed twenty years ago while
Mrs, Driscoll was in an asylum at
Oshkosh, and the title to the land,
which is valued ut $4,000 is involved
in the unique action.
The ranch is known as the Criley
ranch, having taken its name from T..
X. Criley, n hotel man of Kansas City
and indianapolis. About dozen
wealthy men who have owned the land
and given warranty deeds to It since
Mrs. Driscoll owned It are interested
in the suit because the persons to
whom they respectively sold. it have
recourse upon them.
