Tor example, to look at hlmseiT IN the
mirror; TO bow to certain player; to
take player by the hand and lead her
or him to the middle of the room, or
to take d sofa pillow and put it behind
certain players back.
Having settled what he is o do, YOU
summon him back into the room by
music arranged for the occasion. The
music is to be made by tapping some
metal object with a key. The best
thing to use is a poker, from which
low or loud notes may be brought at
will
As the player is to be guided by the
music in the performance of his task,
the musician must keep close watch
on him and give him warming When
he begins to do anything like what
has been appointed, the music should
be low; when he does what he ought
not to do, it should be loud.
Let us suppose, for example, that he
is to take a sofa pillow and put it be-
hind certain players back. As he
enters the room the music is making
great clatter, and this tends to keep
him from collecting his thoughts, as it
is intended to do. Presently he walks
toward the sofa where the pillow is
lying, and the music becomes soft.
This tells him that he is on the right
track. He touches a chair and the
music becomes loud, which tells him
that a chair has no part in his task
He touches the sofa and the music
grows soft, and when he touches the
pillow it ceases for a moment and then
begins again, very soft.
He now knows he is to do something
with the pillow, but what? He stands
and holds it-wrong! He puts it on
the floor and sits on livery loud mu-
sic! Then he throws it down before
some player, but the music is still loud.
Then it occurs to him that a sofa pill
low makes good rest for ones back,
and he puts it behind player, but the
player is not the one selected and the
music does not cease, though it be-
comes very faint. It's faintness sug-
gests that he has hit on the right thing,
but not the right player, and he tries
player after player until he finds the
one selected, when the music stops
and his task is done

How time fieS Only few days
ago was the Fourth of July. This
week is Christmas. Life appears
much shorter as we look back over it
than it does to look forward. How
fast the children grow? 1t seems but
u little while since we proudly held a
wee bit of a girl-our oldest. Now
she is married and has home OF her
own. Only a short time ago we grew
impatient because the little boy run
ming by our side could not keep up.
Now he walks off and leaves US easy.
Oh! the rapidity OF time, it waits for
no man, but whirlS US all forward to
the end, no, not the end but the be-
ginning of broader and newer life.
Then, as the time is short, let us for
give all who have wronged US. start
anew at Christmas and try and be
better people, better citizens, better
husbands, and wives, better fathers
and mothers, and better childen that
BONES may be happier and life more
enjoyable. Just little while and
the active ones of today will be only
remembered for what they have done.
Let us do something, then, while we
live, that after death on memory'S
friendship wall shall cluster many
beautiful fiowers.-Oteriia Herald.

Governor Stanley is reported to
have made up his mind to appoint one
sheriff on January ID, when the terms
end, so that the biennial electi n law
may be tested. The appointment will
be made in a county where it will at
once be carried to the supreme court.
On the matter of appointing county
treasurers, the governor intimateS
there is no hurry as there will be no
vacancy until Oct. 1t may be said in
this connection that the only matter
which is seriously in doubt now is
whether treasurers and sheriffs who
are serving their second terms can
hold over, there being a constitutional
provision that these two officials shall
hold no more than two consecutive
terms. Russell Reformer.

Hobson manages to keep before the
public as persistently as Carrie Nation.
Nobody ever heard of him until, by a
delicate piece of manouvering he sunk
the collier Merrimac in the passage to
Santiago harbor in such a position
that it did not block anything and
only resulted in the loss of the vessel.
When his notoriety began to wane he
started on his kissing tour and revived
the dying flame of public notice.
Since he was compelled to quit this
piece of foolishness it has been an
nouced that he was engaged to be mar
ried to at least three young women,
all tf whom have entered emphatic
denials. Now comes the report that
he is going to resign from the navy
and enter the field of politics and run
for congress on his sinking, kissing
ami engaging reputation. Hobson will
do nothing of the kind. With all his
tomfoolery he has enough sense to
hold on to his epaulets and not trade
them off for the opportunity of being
defeated at the polls-K. C. World.

After reading the following, one
would expect that it was written by
any one but republican editor but it
is from the pen of the man who fills
the editorial chair on the EldoradO
Republican: "And the president will
also turn down the United States SEN
ate, which represents or STANDS for the
power of money and not the education
brains or honesty of the country, if he
finds it necessary to do so. President
Roosevelt knows just as well as does
the average scrub citizen, that if ii
were not for money two-thirdS of the
members of the senate would not be
there today and in turning down that
bullying and unpatriotic body he
knows that he will receive the over
whelming applause Of the American
people; and for one we hope he will
turn it down good and hard very
many times before he goes out OF
office. OF course it will raise big
row but what of it? This is or ought
to be government by the people in
stead of a government of mOnied lob
sters. And the people Of this country
are praying to God daily that the
president will go after and turn down
the army and navy rings which have
brought disgrace upon the country by
their incesSant quarreling. What
this country most needs is thorough
and complete political house cleaning
and the people have faith TO believe
that President Roosevelt has the
courage and the nerve to keep right
at it until the job is completed to the
queens taste" The writer fears that
the Eldorado Republicans editor is
little too enthusiastic over what Mr..
Roosevelt will do but sincerity hopes
that he will not be disappointed

A surprise party.

The State Central Committee OF the
Of the People party met in Topeka
last Friday. The meeting was intend.
ed 10 be exclusive as the committee
has an open advisory meeting last
May. The populists however swarm
ed in from over the state and the
whole of the afternoon was taken up
in hearing from the brethren. With
one exception they said, keep the peo-
pies party intact and its flag flying in
Kansas. Mr. Breidenthal urged that
we only needed TO continue to educate
in these supposed darker days of popu-
liSm, as its principles are bound to
win anyway. That no compromise
ought to be made or backward step
taken. His advise was the very best.
This opening meeting, which was a
large one. showed what power there
is in a deep convictions that one is
right to sustain men regardless of de-
feat. 1t was surprise party to the
committee. The committee went
into executive session at 100 p. m.
and adjourned at midnight after
many sharp contest over questions
brought before it. 1t was agreed fin
ally to call the rank and file together
in conference from the farm and
work shop to settle questions the COM
mittee was unable to agree upon, and
some of which the committee have no
right to settle. The county conven-
ventions to be called ought to be
made up of populists ard none but
the truest and best should be put on
guard at the state conference.
By lighting on We'll yet compel 9th
ers to do step by step what they will
not permit US to do ourselves. This
meeting, unless taken care of, may
prove to be the Waterloo of the peO-
pies party of Kansas. Come out ye
olden timers, who never say die, and
give surprise party to those of little
faith.-KanSaS CommOner.
