Without another word, the specter,
still carrying the stool, walked back
of the sch dollhouse and disappeared.
Groans were now heard issuing APP
parently from the foot of the forked
oak. Power of motion returned to
Zachariah and he started his horses
on a run for home.
The next morning he surprised Char
ity by telling her that she might get
married, as he knew of good house,
keeper that he could get. Knowing
her father too we'll to ask why this
sudden change of mind, Charity simply
said: "Thank you, father and lost no
time in communicati ting the welcome
intelligence to George when he made
his daily round with the mail.
Zachariah's nerves were so shaken
that he did not care to pass the ruins
soon again. So he sent Jim after the
remainder of the mill-feed cautioning
him to be home before dark. George
Burton, in his mail-wagon, was jog
ging along. whistling joyously and
thinking of the little home he and
Charity would soon occupy when
what caused him to stop whistling so
suddenly? Why did he crack the whip
over his horses back as bend in the
road brought the log schoolhouse into
view? Was it ghost? No, only the
sight of curly-headed Jim Hisner COM
ing out of the ruins and climbing the
forked oak
BY the time George reached the
building Jim was depositing packages
of various sizes in his wagon. For
some reason, as George stopped near
Jim, both burst out laughing.
"Here, Jim, shake hands," said
George. and tell me what in the world
you had hidden in the hollow oak"
"Chestnuts." answered Jim, whose
face was still wreathed with smiles.
"You see, want to study hard at
school this year, SOS I can pass the
Boxwell examination and 60 to Minton
high school next year. Father won't
buy me the books I need. He says
a spelling book, reader, arithmetic and
copybook are enough for any boy. So
I gathered chestnuts, and about every
other night for two weeks I've been
here to hide 'em, SOS father wouldn't
know had 'em. Now I'm going to sell
'em. This bushel of chestnuts will buy
$500 worth of books. llkeep my new

queried George.

Greatest of All Craxes.

No sport ever became a mania of the
proportions of cycling. Six years ago
wheelmen were a guild with political
power. In some cases they dictated
legislation. They were responsible for
road improvement. They started in
the face Of opposition and fought their
way against prejudices. They became
so strong numerically that politicians
began to play to them for their sup
port. They forced recognition to their
rights in the roads. Their races became
events of the year. Their clubhouses
were costly, their organizations highly
perfected, and the optimistic could see
no end to the career Ct the bicycle. But
with suddenness as sensational as
the growth of the fad, the bottom,
dropped out of it.-Chicago Tribune

KING PARDONS OFFENDERS.
En- gland's Ruler Did Not Allow His
Illness to Delay This Part OF
Coronation Plan.

Throughout his grave illness, ex-
cept, of course, when he was at his
very worst, King Edward never lost
his interest in any of the schemes as
ISOLATED with his coronation. One
of these concerned the pardon Of a
certain section of military offenders,
whose sentences had nearly expired
when the postponement of the great
ceremonial was announced. The war
Office officials seemed to have been
assailed by doubt and suggested to
the kings advisers the desirability
of taking no action until the issue
of his majesty's illness was known.
At the very first opportunity this
was made known to the king, but
his majesty Immediately commanded,
as he did in the case of the dinners,
that there should be no delay and
no postponement.
An appeal, learn, says the Lon
don correspondent of the Washing
ton Star, is to be issued by the war
Office to the large employers of Ia
Dor in behalf of the men who are
returning from South Africa. "phe.
appeal has been inspired by the
board of trade, which is seriously
concerned regarding the effect >pon
the labor market of the arrival In
this country of $4,000 men from the
front. That in round figures is the
number of reservists, militia, yeo-
many and volunteers who were on
active service when peace was de-
clared. They are not all returning
at the same time, of course, and
many of them indeed elect to take
their chances in Africa, while a small
proportion may have their civil posi-
tions in this country kept open for
them. Making all allowances, how
ever, there will still be a very large
number of men thrown upon the Ia
Dor market possibly with disastrous
results. The great majority of these
men must certainly join the ranks
of the employed, and the. military
authorities scarcely hope to be able
to secure situations for them all. It
is hoped, however, that the appeal
to employers may have some effect
in preventing serious displacement
in the labor market.

DIRECTOR SMITH
HEARS OF SlSAL

Upon his return from Hilo on Satur-
day Director Jared Smith of the Expe-
riment Station found awaiting him q
letter from Dr. Dewey OF the Botanical
Department at Washington, regarding
sisal and Manila hemp. DR.. Dewey
states:
The Manila plant grows in the phil
ippines on only IA of the 140 islands OF
that group. 1t thrives best in soils or
volcanic origin on hillsides where there
is excellent natural drainage, but where
there is a considerable amount OF rain
fall In one section of the Island OF
Luzon. however. am told that 1T grows
well with an average annual rainfall OF
less than so inches. 1t does not grow In
the swamps or low fiat lands. ana
therefore does not compete with sugar
and rice. Do you think there are areas
In the Hawaiian Islands that would be
promising for its production there?
DR.. Dewey Is considering an ofhciai
trip to the Bahamas and may send
samples of sisal from there to HaWan
Mr. Smith was delighted with trip
he made TO the Volcano and was quite
impressed with the sight. although ne
stated he preferred having his resi-
dence a few hundred miles away from
the phenomenon.

JU0lES DRAWN
BY LOT SYSTEM
Plan Urged by Advertiser is rol-
lowed by Circuit Judge
Robinson.

The dtst results OF the Advertiser
long fight for pure jury system were
seen In Judge Robinson's court yester-
day when the first juries drawn by lot
were announced. The method of the
drawing was simple and fair. Clerks
George LucGs and j. A Thompson OF
he Circuit Court selected loo names
from the list OF electors Whlch "eIe
then placed in q box and shaken up.
One OF the clerks placed his hanu IN
the box. the interior OF which he could
not see. and drew out slips bearing
names. which were recorded by the
other clerk In this way the eighteen
names for the grand jury, ana the
eighteen for the trial jury were chos-
en-.

Judge Robinson. and cannot be used

viii be the presiding judge al the MAY
term OF court. which opens on MONDAY
morning next He becomes the preslu-
ing Judge for the term by virtue OF
new rule adopted in the Circuit Court
whereby the judges will take turns in
presiding -,
Anothsr rule Is that each judge will
draw AMI have his own jury instead
Of jurors being selected from a senerai
panel Under the old system forty
eight trial jurors would have been Sc
lected. The presiding judge drew Tor
his own jury and the other judges We're

tenn will avoid much OF the confusion
brought about under the old one.

Already Democratic papers of the
country, which only one short year
ago were devoting considerable
portion of their space to the abuse
and denunciation of President Nc
Kinley, are beginning to laud him
and to whine that if he had only
lived things would have been thus
and SO; that the Republican party
has come into degenerate days and
has departed from his sublime teach

gusting. 1t is on par with the
constant parading of Lincoln's words

election. That they will make sew
eral gains in the South by reason of
having disfranchised the negro, is
conceded, and they will put forth
their best efforts in this district.
The signs of the times, however,
seem to indicate that this is the
year for the Third district to get
back in line and redeem herself.
The Democrats arc somewhat at sea
over an issue, and there is a good
deal of dissatisfaction with Mr..
Jackson in his own party. The
Populists appear to be completely
swallowed, but they are likely to
create a rather unsettled feeling in
the "innards" of the Democratic
party. 1t is not at all likely that
two such discordant elements as the
Democrats and the Populists can be
united into a homogeneous mass
without considerable effervesence.
That diabolical anti-fusion law
about which they so eloquently res
olute, will compel the opposition to
abandon their dishonest double
header ticket and make a fair fight
under one banner. The tail end of
the combine, the Democratic party,
is going to claim the honor of nam
ing the ticket, and our Populist
friends will be obliged to enlist
under that banner and line up,
shoulder to shoulder, with the fell
lows they formerly laid awake to
cuss, or repudiate the whole scheme.
Many pretended Populists, who
have really always been Democrats,
will gladly join the Democratic
ranks and bop 'er up for Gen.

The nominee of the Winfield con-
vention for congressman for the
Third district, Mr.. p. p. Campbell,
of Pittsburg, seems to be very fa-
vorably received by Republicans all
over the district.
Mr.. Campbell-"PhiP-a he is
familiarly called, is young man of
sterling worth. He came to Kan
sas with his parents in an early day,
who settled in the eastern part of
Neosho county. His boyhood days
were spent on the farm, in hard
work.
Our future congressman early
evinced a desire for higher educa-
tion and an aptitude for public
speaking. He completed course
at Baker University and won laurelS
as an orator. After graduating he
studied law and located In Pitts
burg, where he and his brother en-
10y lucrative practice. He has
stumped the state IN more than one
campaign and is well known as a
fluent and forceful speaker. He is
an upright, moral man of about
forty years, and is very popular in
the district.
Mr.. Campbell has hard fight in
this district, but with united party
and his popularity. can win. There
will surely be fusion in this district,
in some shape, and Phil will have
to beat the combined opposition.
But by careful and harmonious work
among the Republicans there is lit

the Populists who believe in the
protection of American industries
and the honor and integrity of the
American army, and realize the
benefits that have accrued to all
classes of American citizens by Re-
publican policies, will vote with the
Republicans for a continuance OF
the prosperous conditions that now
prevail, and not for return of the
Cleveland conditions.
This being the case, Phil Camp

handsome majority.
