LIVING IN A CASTLE.

Years ago we were the guests in an
English manor The statuary, the fern
cries, the botanical and horticultural
genius of the place had done all they
could do to make the place attractive.
For generations there had been an
amassing of plate and costly surround
ings. At half past nine o'clock in the
morning the proprietor of the place
had the bell rung, and some 20 or 80
m-anservants and maidservantS came
in to prayers. The proprietor of the
estate read the Scriptures, gave out
the hymn, his daughter at the organ
started the music, and then, the music
over, the proprietor of the estate kneel-
ed down and commended all his guests,
all his family, all his employees, to the
Lord Almighty. God can trust such a
man as that with a large estate. He
knows how to abound. He trusted God
and God trusted him.. And I could call
on the roll of so merchant princes as
mighty for God as they r mighty in
worldly successes. All, my friends, do
not be pufed up by any of the sue
cesses OF this life, do not be spoiled by
the number Of liveried coachmen that
may stop at your door or the sweep of
a long trail across the imported tap
estry. Many of those who come to YOUR
house are fawning parasites. They are
not so much in love with you as they
are in love with your house and your
successes. You move down next year

CONCERNING CHILD'S GARDEN
Mrs. Chas. Lawrence Testifies to Its
Valuable Worth.

The following testimonial was sent tc
the literature committee of the Child Cul.
ture Club by one who has taken 1t FOR
her children for many years:
with regard TO Chld-Garden will say
that 1 consider 1t the best periodical for
little readers that I know of. The little
stories are told in language readily IN
derstood by the child, and help TO keep
them interested in the simple games and
occupation of childhood. They are care
fully chosen TO foster the spirit OF cheer
fulness consideration for animals, and
care for the weak and helpless.
There is also much in them that Is
calculated TO awaken observation and
stimulate interest in the parious pro-
cesses OF nature; the growth of plants
from the seed or bulb. the mission of the
rain. snow and sunshine.
There Is also a Mother-Club Depart
ment which abounds with valuable sug-
gestions from eminent authority. with re-
gard to training and developing the char
acter Of the child, and the various prob
lens that come to every parent. In
short it IS a periodical for and about chill
dren, valuable alike to parent and child.
Very sincerely,
MRS CHAS LAWRENCE

CHICAGO QUOTATIONS RECEIVED
Temporary Tnjunct.ens Obtained
Against Telegraph Companies

The recent refusal of the Chicago
boarl of trade to allow the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
to send out the Chicago quotations at the
same rate did not materially affect the
commission houses in this city, and the
quotations are being received as before.
The Kansas City brokers brought suit
against the companies compelling them
to furnish the reports.
The temporary, injunction order secur-
ed in Kansas City by the Brokers Grain
company and the Christie Commission
company against the Western Union and
the Postal Telegraph companies instructs
those corporations to continue furnishing
complaints with all quotations on grain
as sent out from the floor of the Chicago
board of trade. whether such market
quota tons shall pass over its wires into
this state by leased wires Of respondent
operated by any firm or Individual or by
respondent itself.
The attorneys for the Western Union
announce that they will at once take a
removal to the federal court, while the
Postal has expressed it's determination to
carry the case If necessary to the SUI
prone court of the United States upon
the ground that the Injunction directly
affects interstate commerce.

vorce suit of Susan H. Crum against P.
S. Crum was filed yesterday with the
clerk Of the district court by Kos Har-

turned to visit they were i'll treated by
Mrs. Crum. Crum states that the boys
were needed on the farm, and by their
leaving home he is deprived Of their ser
vices, which are needed on the farm.
The other allegations in the petition are
on the same order. The case will be
warmly contested.

Miss Maude Jenkins of Arkan-
sas City Attempts Suicide.
is KNOWN I'M WICHITA
Took CarboIic Acid But viii
Recover.

Miss Maude Jenkins. a young lady Of
Arkansas City. who is known in Wichita
attempted TO go the self destruction route
last Wednesday morning. The cause is
attributed to a love affair. An Arkansas
City paper says of the. Occurrences:
Wednesday morning about S o'clock
Maude Jenkins OF Arkansas City took a
quantity of carbolic acid, with the inten-
ton Of committing suicide. She lives with
her parents on north Sixth street, but
that morning it happened that all the
rest Of the family, with the exception Of
Maude and a smaller sister about u years
old, had gone from the house on bust
ness Maude asked the little girl If the
carbolic acid was in the kitchen and the
little one told her that it was. The bot
tie was procured and contained about
three tablespoonsful of the acid. This
Maude poured from the bottle into cup,
and with the remark that she did not
wish to live began to drink it The little
girl saw her and tried to knock the cup
fromher hand. A scuffle ensued during
which most Of the poison was spilled.
Considerable Of it was splashed on the
other girls neck burning wherever 1t
struck. DR.. Sparks was Immediately
summoned and administered the proper
antidotes. When he had relieved the pain
he took Dr.. Dudley, who has made
study Of throat troubles, into the house
and they both examined her again. All
was done that could possibly be done,
and the patient has rested comparatively
easy.
The cause OF the girls action Is jeal-
ousy. Last night she was up town and
saw her lover with another girl II is not
known whether they had any words. but
at any rate a change was noticed in her.
She seemed to be brooding over her trou-
bic and more than once expressed a de-
sire to die. However she did nothing to
lead anyone to think that she would at
tempt TO take her life until that morning.
She is in appearance a very neat and
nice looking girl about 81 years old The
lovers name is George Hill. The girl was
able to sit up today. No fears for her
recovery are entertained. She has not
made a second attempt upon her life.
Had 1t not been for her sister and her
struggle Miss Jenkins would no doubt
hive swallowed enough to have almost in
stantly killed her

IN PRETTY FAIR CONDITION
Stories About Corn Crop Reing Ruined
Greatly Exaggerated.

The corn crop in Sedgwick county is
not as badly damaged from the sun and
drouth as was expected some weeks ago
and the yield Will be greatly in excess
of that predicted previously. In some To-
calities it suffered from the sun but not
to the extent that some farmers reported.
The low lands will produce average yields
while the highland corn will do but little
good. Frank Bolt, a farmer living east
Of the city, was in town yesterday and
said that he was very we'll satisfied with
his yield. He has corn that will go sixty
bushels TO the acre if it goes q bushel.
Corn is not as bad off as some would
make believe" said Mr.. Bolt "Of course
1t don't look extraordinarily good from the
country roads or the railroad tracks but
closer inspection viii disclose the fact
that the stalks contain good many ears
and they are nearly all plump and we'll
