difi0ns.


A certain citizen Of Eureka, who had
fallen into the bad habit of lying in bed
till a late hour in the morning. made
up his mind to turn over a new leaf
at the beginning of the new year Of
1902, says the Sentinel. He told his
wife that it was a shame for a man
in the prime of life to be wasting the
most beautiful hours of the day in bed.
and gave her injunctions to awaken
him at 6 O'Clock in the morning, and
to insist ON his arising, and to be sure
and not let him fall asleep again. Next
morning his wife awakened him
promptly on time.
"Thunderation, can't you let a fellow
sleep" he growled, as he turned owe
for another snooze.
His wife was not discouraged and
persevered in her efforts to arouse him,
reminding him of the directions he had
given the night before. After consid-
cradle yawning and stretching he man
aged to get up and dress himself He
started out for his walk. When he got
to the first saloon he concluded to go in
and take a cock-tail-a man needed
some little stimulant when he broke
over old habits and got up so early.
Just one cocktail and not another drop
before breakfast. When he got inside
two men were engaged in an animated
argument on the Boer war, in which
he became so interested that he forgot
all about his walk until it was time to
go home to breakfast, and every
time one or the other Of the
d%isputants would get the best of the
argument he would treat the house.
When the early riser got home the
and his voice thick, and he spoke to
his wife with a Russian accent. When
she asked him how he had enjoyed his
walk and if he didn't know breakfast
was cold, and what made him look so
queerly, he said:
Bin gagged in a nanimated schusion
er Boer war and tookernextercocktail-
ortwo."
His wife was surprised at the facil-
ity with which he had learned a for
eign language, but expressed herself
in effect hat early rising and walks be-
fore breakfast were not as conducive to
health as lying in bed until breakfast
was ready.

"Fiddlers' Contest to Raise
Funds For Charity
Is Strongly Objected to by a
Lawrence Pastor.
DECLARES IT WRONG.
Hopes Christian People Will Not
DishOnOr the Savior
By Encouraging Such Disgrace
full Proceedings.

Lawrence, Jan. 3-The Lawrence
newspapers recently hit upon a. plan to
giving a folders contest for the benefit
of the Associated Charities fund. The
plan was well received and several of
the prominent business men offered
prizes. Soon after, several of the best
women of the city consented to act as
patronesses. Rev. ]. r. Millin, of the
United Presbyterian church, did not APP
prove of the idea, however, and he gave
out the following signed letter for pub
lication:
"As a member of the Associated
Charities l hereby respectfully but
earnestly protest against the proposed
'hddlers' contest as a means of raising
money for its support in the work
room project OF any other feature. The
charities is a Christian institution, and
therefore all contributions for it's sup
port ought to be made by direct gift
in the name of Christ mark ix:41).
Through the charities the Christian
people of this community have the OPP
portunity not only of following the ex-
ample of Christ, who went about do
ing good but also of ministering d.
ricetly to Him (Matthew XIV: 34-40).
Let it appeal in His name to this
Christian city directly, and money in
abundance will doubtless be forthcom-
ing to equip it well in all the depart
mentS.
Does the world gather money by in
direct methods to build monuments for
its heroes? Thing of collecting money
by 'fiddlers' contests and dime teas
ETC., to pile marble over the grave Of
William Mckinley! And will Christian
people dishonor their Saviour by such
things? Let us read again the eighth
and ninth chapters of II. Corinthians
and then try the results of a direct
appeal to the Christian philanthropy of
the city, before we resort to methods
which assume that religion is largely
or wholly a failure in Lawrence.
Very sincerely,
-. r. MILLIN. 1872 Kentucky ST."
The reference to Dime Teas is meant
as a dig at the various other churches
of Lawrence, most of which resort to
such entertainments to raise money. 1t
is not probable that the objections of
Mr.. Millin will seriously interfere with
the contest.

ture was below zero on four different

on December IA.

est wind was S5 miles per hour, on De-

contested, each team scoring points.
During the second half the local team
simply outplayed the visitors. The Wis
itors could not make gains and were
forced to punt continually, while the
local team never at any time lost the
ball on downs. This, however, was all
evened up by what seemed the rank
decisions of Referee Clark, of Lakin.
Mr.. Clark has been coaching the Lakin
team and claims to understand the
game thoroughly, but from decisions
made by him it is evident he was never
lined up in a gridiron game. His deci-
sionS We're largely in favor of Ldlin
and against the local team. AS this
was the first game played upon the
Garden City gridiron, the local team
thought best to tconcede the decisions
and give the game to Lakin instead of
stopping the game. They all ban
quoted together at the Windsor hotel
last night at O'Clock. One thousand
people attended the game.
