humoP which springs from negative in

a number of criminals a few years
ago made arson business, and after

What could be more delicious than
the story of a pretty girl who went
into restaurant where shefound her
self the only customer? While she was
eating her plate of ice cream man en-
tered the place, walked over to her
table, removed his hat very respect
fully and, pointing to the chair by her
side, said:
Excuse me miss, but is this chair
engaged?"
What makes the fun all the more at
tractive is the pacific and ofttimes pa
thetic expression of the Russian Jew
ish physiognomy. There is, indeed, a
close connection between the two. For
centuries the people have been OPP
pressed and downtrodden and the
cruel usage has left its imprint upon
both face and form. Debarred from
most enjoyments, they were compelled
| to rely upon themselves for entertain
ment and in this way they evolved,
slowly and painfully, keen sensibili-
ties and creative and perceptive pow
| erS in reGa rd TO humOr music and con-
versa ton.
In all three they have developed
themselves to such an extent that they
surpass nearly every other community.
Their superiority in music is known
to every lover of the art. Their genius
| for fun and their power of social en-
tertainment are just beginning to be
| known to the public.

The Best Kansas News.
The Governors of Kansas.

The man who is inaugurated gov
ernor of Kansas next January viii
be the twenty-sixth occupant of the
states executive chair, if we count
from the organization OF the terri
tory in 1854. Under statehood he
will be the sixteenth. Between 1854
and 1861, a period covering all of
the territorial existence of Kansas,
there were no less than ten govern
ors, if we count the territorial sec
'retaries who were acting governors
at different times. It is common in
Kansas to give q state officer two
terms, or four years in all. Still
the IS governors who have served
under statehood were in Office an
average of but two and eight-fif-
teenths years each. Charles Robin
son had but two years. Samuel ].
Crawford served nearly three years
and then resigned to enter the In
dian wars. Lieut.. Gov. Nehemiah
Green served out Crawford's term,
Harvey served two years. Thomas
A. Osborn served two terms. George
T. Anthony served one term. John
P. ST. John served two terms. George
w. Click served one term. John A.
Martin served two terms. Lyman
U. Humphrey served two terms. L.
D. Lewelling served one term. E. N.
Morrill, served one term. J. w. Leedy
served one term. w, E. Stanley will
have served two terms. No Kansas
governor has ever died in office. But
one Kansas governor has resigned.
No Kansas governor ever attained
prominence in politics after he had
left the Office, save Gov. Harvey, who
was elected to fill the vacancy in the
United States senate left by the
resignation of Senator Caldwell in
1874, and served in this place three
years. But one lieutenant governor
ever attained the position of gov
ernor, and that was Green, for the
space of IA months. Anthony was
the only Kansas governor ever de-
feated for nomination to his sec
ond term by his own political party.
Robinson and Carney were not voted
for at the expiration of their first
terms. However, Carney was defeat
ed fcY the republican nomination in
1868, three years after the expira-
ton of his first term. ST. John was
the only one renominated for third
term and he was defeated by Click,
his democratic adversary.-Kansas

TO Make irvine Plant Larger.

The next legislature will be asked
to appropriate sufficient money to
increase the Irvine plant at the state
penitentiary to three times it's pres
ent size. That the Irvine plant is a
good investment for the state has
been amply demonstrated. It has
saved the farmers of the state many
thousands of dollars since its estab-
lishment by keeping down the price
of Irvine. This year about 100000
pounds of Irvine have been manufac-
tured and sold at 1917 cents per
pound, while the regular article was
held at from IL to IA cents pound.
The demand for the penitentiary
Irvine has been far greater than the
output, and it is now proposed to in
crease the capacity of the plant to
somewhere near the amount usually
sold in the state.

GovernoF WIN Not Appoint.

An effort was made to amend the
proposed tax and assessment bill,
which provides for the election of
a state tax commission by the execu-
tive council, so as to authorize the
governor to name the members of
the commission. Several weeks ago
II was rumoted that action of this
sort might be taken, as the story
was circulated that State Auditor
George e. Cole was slated for ap-
pointment as president of the com
mission if the bill could be changed
so as to give the governor power to
appoint. Cole, SO the rumor had it,
was to receive the position in return
for the assistance he rendered w. J.

neighbors.
Every blessing received creates an
obligation.
Those who pray most for each
other will generally do most for each
other.
If you dwarf the boy you cannot
develop the man.
Measure your plans by line that

Religion is not enjoyed until it is

The soul has reasons which reason

Irreverence is the brand of ignor-
ance.
Be not a dreamer of dreams, but~a
doer of deeds.
To Gods child the heaviest sorrow
is lighter than the least sin.
Satan baited his first pitfau with
an apple, his chief bait now is gold.
A Christian is more in love with his
present duty than with his future
glory.
God hath given the same power to
strengthen the saint as to quicken
the sinner.
If you are trusting in the love of
the Father. you must live the life of
the brother,
The more faith men have in God
the more faith they will have in one
another.
Men have scarce learned to treat
their friends with the love Christ
allowed His foes.-Ram's Horn.

Sad Death of Young Farmers wife

Mrs. George Leary, wife of a
young farmer six miles south of Law
renee, was struck by lightning and
instantly killed. She was getting
some little chickens under cover dur
ing a violent storm that occurred,
and it was while engaged in this
task that the bolt came that killed
her. Her hair was singed, her face
blackened and her clothing set on
fire. Mrs. Leary was married last
fall and she and her husband were
two of the best-known young people
of the community in which they
lived.

professor, and that thus his failure
to prepare the lesson would escape I'M

directly behind a student of massive
frame.
When the professor came to the last
row, where Quar1es was sitting, the
future senator leaned as far back as he
could and crouched down behind the
big student in front. But the best
laid schemes of mice and men gang aft

unsuccessful. The crouching student
was not passed by unnoticed, and the
