THE CHlLDLESS.
KANSAS

Il wonder why I shed those tears
When they laid my little dead child
away?
After the lapse of wearying years
T am glad that I sit alone to-day;
[ can hear his laugh and his glad Wild
shout,
can see HIM STILL. as he ran about,
And know the little prayer he used to
say.
= hold his picture to my face
And I fancy feel his hand again
As it creeps into mine, and he takes his
On my knee, as he did in the fair days
when
And the songs 1 heard were but songs of
glee,
And 1 stirred the envy of other men
His days were only days of joy,
Happy, he shorsted the hours away;
He was glad with the glee of a careless
boy,
He laughed only the innocqg1t may;
lie never was doomed to wearily fret,
he never looked back with vain regret
At the close of a sorrowfu1 day.
4 keep the little clothes he wore,S
| treasure the shoes that erFased his
feet;
rhe way was smooth that he Travelled
Ger,
The flowers that bloomed at its sides
were sweet;
rhe winds that blew through his curly
hair
Sad blown out of peaceful realms and
fair
There were no grim foes that he had to
meet
4 wonder why shed those tears
When they crossed his hands and laid
him away?
After the lapse of wearying years
| glad that 1 toll alone to-day!
He knew life's gladness, but not its woe
And l have his memorg, and know
The sweet little prayer h8 used to say

DRAWING THE JURIES.
TSunday Nolcano.l

II pains us exceedingly to witness the

Cd by the new law providing for tie
drawing Of jurors by court baiiiifs.
And Why not?. II Mr.. Thursto1 i I;.-
pc were not hypocritiGdl II would at
tack the whole system OF jury drawing.
And IN its attacks 1t would have tie
warm support of the Vui2aLo Tor We
believe 1t TO be. as now constituted,
nef.Iious II delegates to ore man 100
much power. For years tho Marshal,
now High Sheriff, has swo-n 10 crimi-
nal complaints, prosecuted those &C
cused of crime and fixed the amour.
OF their bail in tn. lower court On
sopeal approved their bail bonds,
summoned Jurors to t.Y them in the
Circuit Court, and, II convicted, was
their keeper. And wha. has Mr..
Thurston's paper said about this most
damnable outrage in "tho best govern
ment on earth?" Nothing in censure
and everything In approval. We are
glad that Governor Dole saw the wis.
dom OF curtailing this despotic power
in the hands Of the High Sheriff by
afixing his signature 20 the Act al
lowing bailiffs to summon Jurors. Pull
still the system Is nefar!ous. In worl
Il Is un-American.
