The Lindas Lumb her Co., at Albert,

Teach Your Bow to Work.

1t is no kindness to your son
that you permit him to grow up
in idleness. 1t is a misfortune to
him If you are stuck up with the
idea ''that my son doesn't have
to work, l am able to keep him. :"
Idleness is the DEVILS workshop.
The man that will hunt a game
ofspoker and find it, no matter
where it is hidden away, learned
to play poker in a barn loft,
when he had nothing else to do
and his father was able to keep
him without work. The boy
who goes to work at seven in the
morning and works till six in
the evening, when not at school,
is not the boy that becomes a
cigarette fiend. The young man
who gets into Scraps" and
brings premature gray hairs on
his fathers head, and too fire.
quently makes a painful wound
in his mothers heart, is the one
who passes his youth in idleness
and shiftlessness. Work is a
great purifier, besides no man
ever amounted to shucks in this
world who was afraid to work.

PEOPLE are discussing the
question of who would be Presi-
dent in case of the death of Pres
ident Roosevelt. The succession
act, passed after the assassina-
ton of President Garfield, pro-
vides that in the event of the
death, resignation orinability to
serve of both the President and
the Vice President, one of the
cabinet officers should act as
President, and shall, if congress
be not in session, or if it is not
to meet in regular session within
twenty days, call congress in ex-
ira session. The cabinet officers
take precedence in acting Presi-
dent, in this order: Secretary OF
Secretary of the Treasury,
Secretary of War, Attorney Gen
'eral, Postmaster General, Secre-
tary Of the Navy and Secretary
OF the Interior. The cabinet Of
ficer who succeeds as acting Pres
ident must have the qualifica-
ton required of a President.
Thus, if the Secretary Of State
should happen to be of foreign
birth, he would not be eligible,
and the Secretary of the Treas
ury would become acting Presi-
dent.
THERE is too much small ieal-
ousy among some people OF this
town. The man or women who
undertakes, and successfully
carries out a business, is deserv-
ing of commentator and not
criticism. A dozen successful
merchants are worth more to a
community than but one; and
one successful one is worth more
than a dozen moss-back stand
stills. Anyone who prospers
legitimately is good citizen to
have; and those who become
Jealous of such should learn to
emulate, and not criticize.

SOME FOOD FOB THOUGHT.

Our good temperance people
have been agitating consider
ably theopast week, stirred up by
a couple of paid lecturers from
the State Temperance league
(Which league is used as a side
line, by the republican politicians
of Kansas. y If there has good
come ont of these semi-political
meetings we are. glad; if the
drunkard has been reformed; if
the young men and women have
been made to see the terrible
error of intemperance, we are
glad, as all good citizens will be
glad. "A practical line OF moral
work is suggested, in the follow
ing from an address to a street
crowd in Wichita the other day,
by a woman who not only talks
things but does things. She said:
THE devil can run a mile in
Wichita while church members
are putting on their shoes. [
was called to visit a poor sick
woman not long ago and found
her, suffering for the actual nee
essities of life. My first thought
was to go to a rich man who
was also a church member. He
gave me the best line of excuses
eyer heard and directed me to
the pastor of his church. [ call
ed on the minister and he said he
would pray for the woman.
Prayers are right in their place,
but when q person is dying OF
hunger they are a poor substi-
tute for food. left the minister
and went to a saloonkeeper, and
before went away l had enough
money to buy food for that
. woman.
"Clothes make a man nova
days. At least that is what the
o majority of people look at in siz-
ing up a man. Have you ever
noticed a well dressed man at
the restaurant and how the wait
, ers almost break their necks to
wait on him? But let a laboring
man in over-alls come in and he
has a hard time even get
ting a glass of water. The same
condition OF affairs exists at the
bargain counters in a big store.
A poorly dressed woman is al
most treated with contempt by
the clerks, but let a swell car
riage drive up to the door and
notice the difference with which
it's occupant is treated.
"eHere in Kansas you have pro-
hibitiOn. In New York our tigers
have two eyes, but in Kansas the
tigers are blind. [ donot believe
in saloons, neither do believe in
prohibition. Prohibition makes
hypocrites. Where the saloons
are open, the people are the same
way; but where there is prohibi-
ton, the people are hypocritical.
1t is in these prohibition towns
that a man who has been in the
saloon comes out and says: Il
am on the right side of this ques-
ton. / am against the saloon
The proper method is to train
your men so they will leave liquor
alone"

Comrades and Friends:
We are standing upon sacred ground
Before us lie all that Is mortal OF two
members Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic Abel Rogers and Charles
~. Hixon. But q few days ago they
we're here with US. Their battles sof
life are over. They, like millions be-
fore them, have crossed the silent
river, and may we hope and believe

that Great Commander above and
camped with comrades gone before.
Their earthly call to arms is q sealed
record Of the past. The bugle note OF
victory and the wild cry OF onward
in the mighty conflict Of war Is hushed
il death, and silence to them is ever
lasting and eternal. Their last roll
call has been answered and the sublime
victory Of death is their portion now.
Life, like the mighty Wane of the sea,
has ebbed and flowed for them as it
does for us all. The silence OF the
tomb, the bosom of mother earth, has
stilled theswild beatings Of the human
heart. Whatever secrets were held or
treasured by them are secrets still;
they are in safe keeping now. Wild
and weird as seems the voyage Of life,
yet it is often full Of noble purposes
and grand achievements. Passion
| less and powerless TO further save
their country's cause, they have laie
down the burden 50 long carried ant
surrendered all that Is earthly. Oh

painful and yet SO sweet. Measured
by human understanding and human
reason, monster; but hope points tt
better things, and lone twines he1
