Feb 2-This is surely nice seighiug

We are grieved to note the death OF
our beloved neighbor, Mrs Ernest
Linder, whose death occurred last
Tuesday at the hospital in Topeka.
Her son Edd was with her and brought
the body down to Yates Center. The
funeral was held at the German church
and buried in the German cemetery.
Mrs Linder has lived on the farm
where herself and husband located in
the COS, surrounded by her family
and many kind ueighbors who mourn
and regret her loss very much. She
leaves an aged husband, who at the
present is very sick, one son and four
daughters. She was devoted and
earnest Christian and in the last few
years of her life bore much suffering
which finally caused her death, while
rallying from an operation at the hos
pital. The family have the sympathy
in of their many friends in thts, their
greatest loss, of "Mother."

APPARENT FRANKNESS.
Is the Whole Stock in Trade of . Wash
ington Beggar.

As he approached group of men
who stood chatting in the middle Of
the sidewalk on + street about the
noon hour, he had the appearance OF
one who was not at all certain of the
kind of reception he would get. So
he smiled in deprecatory fashion,
which added force to the appeal that
lay in his shabby appearance and in
the gray hair which showed beneath
the rim of his straw hat.
Wont you give me ten cents?"
he asked, and then he added, with
show of frankness that at once
aroused the attention of his hearers,
II want to get drink, and that is the
truth, gentlemen"
Some remark was made that
showed the interruption was not rel
ished, and the applicant, with smile
still on his face, turned and shuffled
on up the street.
81 meant to give that man ten
cents" said one of the group, gazing
after him and evidently now pleased
by the mans outspoken request. HE
deserves it for telling the truth"
81 just gave him ten cents" said
another. 'He met me a short dis
lance below, told me the same story
and in about the same words"
'Look there" said the third man,
who had been silent spectator of the
scene, pointing a short distance
ahead. 'There he is, tackling some
one else"
Sure enough, there was the old
man evidently telling his tale to a
fresh audience.
perhaps that is his game" OBJ
served the first speaker. "He may
not want drink; he may not be a
drinker at all; perhaps he is total
abstainer. He no doubt finds that
the apparent honesty of his confess
sion strikes people as great novelty,
and they contribute because they
think he is telling the truth. There
are tricks in all trades" and then the
three went back to the subject under

CLEVER JUGGLERY.
Apparent Cruelty Which Aroused the
Audience Proved Only a Trick.

A professor of legerdemain wit
messed the following trick at Jug
gler's performance in India some lit
tie time back. A woman with baby
swung in bag around her waist came
ON the stage and endeavored to bal
ance a ball on her nose. This she
failed to do so on account of the him
drance caused by the child.
She repeated the attempt, but met
with no better success than on the
first trial The juggler all the while
was standing at the side of the stage,
apparently furious at the repeated
failures of the woman, and finally, in
rage rushed toward her and tore the
little babe away from her.
The woman screamed as she real
lied the danger into which the child
was thrown, and the indignation
spread to the audience. Uncon-
cerned apparently about the babe,
its mother, or the audience, the
juggler took the child and threw it
into a bag which he held in his right
hand.
Then, taking a firm hold on the
neck of the bag, he whirled it over his
head and violently brought it down
upon the floor. At the same time the
woman screamed aned fell upon her
knees, begging the juggler to desist;
but he told her to keep quiet, and re-
peated the performance.
BY this time two English officers
were on the stage and were struggling
with the juggler, trying in vain to
get hold of the bag. The magician
pushed them to one side, scowled
angrily over their interference, and
then forced them off the stage. Then,
bowling and smiling to the audience,
he placed his hand in the bag and
drew out pair Of white doves, which
flew on both shoulders of the juggler.
Ascream in the corner next attract
ed attention, and there in a cradle
was seen the babe, whom all supposed
by this time had become an immortal,
laughing and clapping his hands with
joy.-London Tit Bits.

THE HEARTLESS SEA.
Was Never Meant for the Frenchman to
Sail Upon.


1t is reported that President Lou
bet was not at all comfortable during
the first four days of his journey to
Russia on board the great cruiser
Montcalm, and that some of the
members of his suite, particularly M.
Delcasse, were quite incapable of do
ing justice to the toothsome morsels
spread for them in the presidential
cabin by the specially provided Paris
ian chef. In this the distinguished
Frenchmen are not alone, for other
equally famous sons of Gaul have
shown before them that the sea was
meant for men of other clay. Louis
XIV. was a wretched sailor, and sell
dom ventured far in one of his great
ships of war. Napoleon l. had per-
feet horror of the sea, and was invari-
ably seasick. Admiral D'Estaing,
the much-vaunted opponent of Nell
son, was happier on the quays of Tou-
lon than on the deck of his flagship.
And, on coming down to later days,
Napoleon Ill. Boulanger and GAM
BETA were miserable on board ship.
The gallant Boulanger collapsed en-
tirely when the vessel began to roll;
and Nine. Bernhardt says of her last
voyage: 81 die, / expire, ! lose my

Salisbury as a Scientist.

Pleasant to Lord Salisbury are the
hours he spends in his laboratory,
which is said to be unsurpassed in
completeness and modernness by any
private laboratory in England. From
his youth he has had a bent for this
work, and in physics especially he has
attained such knowledge as to be
sought, for CONSUL and discussion, by
some of the greatest minds in that
field 1t is even said of him that il.
he had not been great statesman he
would have been greater scientist.
