Louise Vennevale, with undried
tears on her long lashes, was look
ing at him with wondering eyes
brown as hazelnuts. He held out
his shapely hand.
You are one of my people, are
you notW he questioned, with a
smile. II have not called be-
fore, but you will pardon that,
and bid me enter now, will you
not9"
"Certainly."
And she led him into the tiny
room, where Mrs. Vennevale lay
on a sofa, frail and helpless.
Mamma" she said, "this is
Mr.. Grant. He has come to see
you" And, greatly to the young
mans disappointment, after plac-
ing chair for him beside the
sofa, she glided out. He remain
ed almost an hour converslng
with the invalid. He heard the
pitiful story-too sadly frequent
for men to mind it much to-day,
in their busy, selfish lives; the
struggle to purchase Ii tile home
for wife and child by the stalwNrt
young farmer, who had only his
strong hands and honest heart
to rely on then the long, ling
ering illness Of the woman, dur
ing which the first mortgage had
fallen on the farm then the sud-
den death, by sunstroke, of man,
and the helpless widow, efforts
to educate her own child, before
allowing the girl to take up the
weary burden that now had been
borne for four years with gentlest
and tenderest patience.
"It breaks my heart to see her
work at her sewing from morn
ing till night, and often half the
night" Mrs. Vennsvale said, in
conclusion, her eyes dim with
tears. And sometimes she has
to take such insolence, too. That
is very hard to bear. To-day
Miss Gussie Elliston came for q
dress she had left for Louise to
make, and she found so much
fault, and said such cruelty un-
kind things, that my heart ached
for my daughter. Did you notice
that Louise had been weeping
when you came inT
Il noticed that she looked very
pale and weary" he answered,
wondering if he had mistaken
the character of Miss Gussie so
completely, whom he thought she
would be so sweet a ministers
wife, so truly helpmeet to one
who had chosen that most'arduous
of all positions-to be the spirit
ual adviser of a village full of
people.
1t was with a pang at his heart
that he began to think the blue
eyes and fair face of the girl who
had smiled so shyly at his com
ing might but be mask for a
cold and selfish heart.
There is a picnic in the birch
grove on Monday" Mrs. Venne-
vale went on, "and it was for that
Miss Gussie wanted this particu-
lar dress. My poor child cannot
90, or, rather, she will not, for she
never leaves me, urge her as |
may. She was just saying how
hard 1t is to be a woman and poor
when you came, Mr.. Grant.
Yes, he had heard her say the
words, but did not say so. In.

ever seen. Large numbers OF people
will come here from points hundreds
OF miles around, some to remain the
entire week and others to remain per-
manently in our thriving city, where

WATER STORAGE.

About two years ago Mr. Branden-
burg of the weather bureau, in an ad-
dress delivered at Fort Worth, made
some suggestions along the line of
water storage, and while his plan is
unique it is not altogether impractic-
able.
He SAYS that the flow of our streams
during the summer and fall could be
materially improved at n comparative
ly small cost In the mountain dist
riots there is a constant and general
flow under the ice i'll all the small
streams during winter, no matter how
cold the weather To store this water
for use during the following summer
it is suggested that after suitable
sheltered places have been selected the
water be brought to the surface and
allowed to spread over the ice Even
though only small proportion of the
flow be utilized, immense fields of ice
could thus be formed, and if the site
be protected from the westerly winds,
the gradual melting would maintain
good flow throughout the season
when water is generally scarce east
of the mountains. 1t is believed that
concerted movement in this direction
would prove profitable.

sLet us suppose that Bryan
ism is turned down at the ma
tional convention; it would sure
ly be better to have a very de-
cided and considerable split and
breakup of the Democratic party
than to have a few stragglers
step out. A large percentage OF
the bolters-say one third of the
party-would be a most
encouraging contingent to trans
act business with the Republican
element who will get away from
that party in 1904.
''It is by no means impossible,

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.

Brigadier General Funston has
very materially changed his
opinion in regard to the govern
ment in the Philippines. Before
he knew what we had on our
hands he thought all that was
necessary to secure peace was to
"Driye out the Friars.' He has
seen some service since then and
has changed front entirely. In
commenting on the situation in
the Philippines at San Francisco
Monday, he said:
"The situation in the Philip
pines is a knotty problem. 1t is
one for great minds to ponder
over, and nearly every problem
that confronts the nation has
two sides. Personally, do not
think that in this generation it
will be possible to bring the ma
tives under absolute control of a
civil government. | believe that
for years it will be necessary for
the United States government
to maintain a strong military
force on the islands in order to
exert a moral influence on the
natives. For the next two or
three years [ think it will be nee
essary to maintain a military
force of 10000 men in the Philip
pines to keep insurrection down.
After that period has elapsed, if
there are no signs of trouble, [
think that a force Of 10000 men
will be enough to maintain order
and prevent an uprising
This war of conquest would
have never been fastened on the
American people had it not been
for the republican politicians
who wanted places for their
friends, the army contractors
and the transportation COM
panies. Ii Filipinos had been as
sured their independence, as was
Cuba, this government would
have been relieved of great loss
of life and millions of treasure.
The Filipinos have been fight.
ing for hundreds of years for in
dependence from Spain. Admiral
Dewey, in his official reports
stated that they were more cap
able OF self-government than the
| Cubans. But his advice anC
great experience counted fol
nothing when the personal in
terests Of republican officials anC
the transportation companies
were at stake.
Gen. Funston is a very differ
ent man and has very differenr
views since he knows more o

pie.

AEsOP has a familiar fable
about a man and his son who
went on journey, leading an
ass. A rustic criticised them for
walking when one of them might
be riding on the beast; but when
the father sat on the ass the peo-
pie passing reviled him harshly
as a selfish parent who rode at
ease while his son went afoot.
The son then mounted the ass,
but the next wayfarer denounced
him as an unflial and ungrate-
ful son who would not let his old
father ride Then they both be-
strobe the beast, hoping thereby
to conciliate public opinion, but
the prototypes OF the modern
Bands of Mercy and members OF
the S. p. C.. 4. shouted that
father and son were brutes for
SO heavily burdening their pa
tient beast. In desperation, the
man and his son lifted the ass to
their shoulders and carried it at
a great expense of energy, but
the whole country side immedi-
ately gathered in their wake and
derided them for madmen. AT
Hast the father remarked to his
son that he perceived they could
not please everybody, accord
ingly they put down the ass and
led him as at first.

Mrs. Anna Diggs, in the Farmers
Advocate, of Topeka, has the
following'to say:
"The Democrats have opened a
dignified way and extended a
cordial invitation to Populists
toenter their organization. More
than this could not be expected
of them. They have national
organization, we have not. Kan
sas Democrats, for the mostpart
are as firm believers in govern
ment issuance of money and
government ownership of rail
ways as we are, hence there is
neither inconsistency nor impro-
priety in belonging to the same
political organization.
."The .weightiest' reason for
merging into Democracy lies in
the fact that Populist issues are
nationalin in scopeand application,
they need national machinery
through which to operate.
Events are now shaping (notably
the conflict of the people of the
northwestern states with the
consolidating railway corpora
tions) which in the near future
will compel.a national party to
take, an unequivocal POSITION
and fight the battle for the peo-
pie as against the corporate
powers. This position the ma
tional Republican party can not
take because it includes in its
dominating membership men who
desire the corporation side to
win. The national Democratic
party can, and will, unequivo-
cally and aggressively espouse
the peoples side, unless it's next
national convention shall be re-
captured by the men who domi
mated it before 'Bryanism' came
to the front. Right here is the
great service which Kansas Popu
lists might render to practica
politics; they might, by uniting
with Kansas Democrats, form sc
consequential and forceful a dele,
, cation to the NATIONAL conven
tion as to aid, greatly in holding
that body to the new Democracy
and prevent Messrs. Hill, Cleve
