There will be few of our citizen

The North family was musical, Near

-4Mr. Reeder has been in Office four
years; and has had liberal education
at our expense. Mr.. Ramsey in
the Beloit Gazette.
You never said anything truer, Mr.
Ramsey. The price the 9th district
has had to pay for Reeder'S education
has been an expensive one, indeed,
and the benefits we have received ~
has been one "fooliSh speech" that
will live in the memory Of his aSSoci-
ates as long as Mr.. Reeder remains in
congress. What has he said to ad-
vance government construction of
reservoirs in the arid regions? Read
Lieut.. Col. II. NJ. Crittenden's article
in the February North American Re,
view. Compare it to Mr.. Reeder's
school boy efforts and you will begin
co realize the manner of man the big
Sixth district has to educate. Mr..
Ramsey continues: ''Experience is the
main factor of an influential man at
Washington. If Mr.. Reeder had the
experience of a Charles Fox, he would
come out Bill Reeder, nothing more.
AIr. Ramsey. poor man, is forced to
admit Mr.. Reeder's greenneSs. He
said: .'Shall we elect another green
horn merely because he wants to be
educated too?" No, for Kansas sake,
no. Let US have MAN this time

A LOAF CENTURIES OLD.
1t Was Found In a caxe-DyveiIine In
Arizona and Is Now In
Museum

A notable recent contribution to the
archaeological museum of the Univer-
sity Of Arizona is loaf of bread found
in . cave dwelling in the Superstition
mouptaips Of central Arizona in 1879,
and since that time in the possession of
Herbert Brown. superintendent of the
territorial prison, says a Fusoop re-
port.
The loaf is undeniab.S bread, and
without doubt is of great age. 1t was
found embedded in the ashes wherein
1t was baked probably hundreds or per-
haps thousands of years ago. It had
very plainly been wrapped in cloth or
mat, and the marks of the fiber of the
cloth are visible in the dark, brick-like
mass. Mr.. Brown is. of the opinion that
the bread was made OF mesquite beans,
roughly ground in metates by the
aboriginal housewives of centuries ago.
With IT was found a store OF ancient
Eacrifcial implements. stone axes and
arrowheads. The loaf has been steri.-
ized by the curator of the museum, and
has been sealed within glass jar,

We never knew of time when
there was such a lot of disgraceful
scrambling for Office as there is going
on in Kansas at the present time.
About all one can ind in the Kan
sas dailies now is concerning the wire
pulling this candidate or that candi-
date is doing to force himself on the
people. This is true for state, con-
gressional or judicial offices in which
the people are supposed to have some
thing to say, and equally as true
among aspirants for post offices where
the people are not supposed to have
anything to say in the matter Of who
shall attend to their mail for them.
In this Scrambling. wire pullin g,
and secret conniying the common peo-
pie are having absolutely nothing to
say nor will very large majority OF
the people OF the state have anything
to say until next election day and
then they will be expected to vote for
whoever is the most successful Schem-
er and gets his name on the ballot.
Ii a greater insult could be offered
the intelligence OF the voters in Kan
sas, we would certainly be surprised
to learn what it could be. Yet the
people approve of being insulted or
they would never support for Office
those political Shysters who have no
more care or respect for the average
voter than they have for a hog or
other dumb brute which they can use
for their own pecuniary benefit
Rocks County Journal.
Oh, yes, Bro. McKenna, if you will
let your mind run back about Is years
you will recall just such scramble
for office, and just such an abandon
ment of principles for greed of the
spells. That's one reason why you
left the old party. The same thing is
happening over again and tens of
thousands will leave the party again
and take their stand for principle.
It's coming, and before great while,

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS.
An Ancient ~Fakfr" Defrauded Mar,

Prof Musterberg, of Harvard, whose
speciality is Psychology, relies to some
extent on the point of good story ia
enforcing his positions in abstract dem.
onstrations. He has one on the associ
alton of ideas that will illustrate.
A medieval magician-mere aecu.

for sale magic pot. If certain rather
common stones were mixed and placed
in the pot, with certain portion Of
water, and the whole shaken diligently
for an hour, the stones would turn to
gold-provided that during the hour
the operator should not think of hip.

The fakir sold great many for ia b.
ulous sums, and not one of the purchas-
ers ever demanded a return of the
money. The fakir knew his business,
says the Boston Herald. He was in ad-
vance of his age IN Psychology, ia his
skill permanently fixing in his custom

An officer in the marine corps,

Movement TO Enlarge Poor
Farm Fooled.

A very pretty story has leaked out
concerning a little deal which the boss
and his board of county commission
ers were going to put through for the
benefit of one of their Fridays, and at
the expense of the county. However,
Commissioner Veeh, who was not con-
suited until the plans were all COM
plete, baked, and spoiled the little
joke. 1t seems that certain young
man who for the purposes of this Story
shall be nameless, conceived the bril-
liant idea of purchasing a quarter
section of land adjoining the poor
farm, and then selling the same to
the commissioners for 81, 800 or $4,000
for an addition to the said farm.
The plans worked smoothly. Two
of the board, it is said, expressed
themselves as favorable to the project.
The nameleSs young Friday bought
the land. The board met. Commas
Sioner Veeh was let into the secret.
But there's where the rub came in.
Mr.. Veeh happened to know the stat
ute prohibits the county board from
making an expenditure for county
porperty exceeding $500 without a
vote of the people. There the story
ends, and the farm still belongs to
the brilliant going tipancier. But the
joke is yet to come. Both the boss
and his Friday are lawyers. Now

hits and the victory is yours. This
young lady will fulfill the fondest
hopes reposed in her. She will share IN
your triumphs and participate in your
defeats. The church signs her over
