THIS RUNAWAY WAS EXCITING
Team Dashed Down Forsyth. Scatter.
ing Crowds.

A two mule team, which the owner
had carelessly left unattended, ran
away yesterday and from the confeder'
ate monument to the postoffice cleared
Forsyth street of people and vehicles
At the bank corner the runaway
team collided with a buggy, the gen
tleman driving it making narrow
escape by leaping out. That more peo'
pie were not run over and several We
hicles wrecked seems miracle.

The Greatest On Earth.


The greatest inland lake in the world
will soon be one of old Barton's attrac-
TONS. The spring food has already
begun to come down the river and "a
good stream of water is now flowing in.
to Lake Cheyenne. The ditch com.
pany is going right ahead with their
work, and now have a large force of
men at work in Louisiana getting out
timber with which to dam the river and
construct the numerous bridges that
span the ditch at different places.
We have always had great faith in the
feasibility of this great project. and
we are now more than ever convinced
of its ultimate success. After we gel
the big lake, rural free mail delivery,
consolidated graded schools, and a new
county Jail, then we will bore that ''nat
nral gas hole" and light up with naturs
gas, the brightest spot on earth. Wher
all this comes about; and the day ISM
far distant when it will, then old Bar

Live Stock Convention.

AS many readers of this paper are
engaged in handling and raising cattle,
it will be of interest to them to know
that the Sth Annual Live Stock Conven.

the best programs ever prepared for
an occasion Of this kind.
In addition to the many prominent
live stock men who will talk, are the
governors of Oklahoma and Kansas and
ex-governor of Missouri. The ques
ton of Spienetic or Texas Fever will
receive attention, and other matters of
direct interest to the stock grower.

A Few Simple Questions.

Do the men and women of Paola who
send to Kansas City Chicago, New
York or Boston for articles of wearing
apparel get any money or patronage
from those cities? Do the merchants
in those places keep up our schools,
streets. roads, churches and parksi
Do they build any of our bridges, cul-
yerts, court houses, school houses.
sidewalks. crossings or opera houses
Support any of our unfortunate and
needy who are aged or crippled and
without means?

DE WET, THE NIGHT RIDER.
BY C. BERTRAND THADwELL.

Ho, sing song both deep and strong,
Like the thunder of hoofs as they roll along;
Let the music ride with a swinging stride,
Like the gaop of steeds their strength and pride,
When they reach at their brides and foam and fret,
For sing Of rider De Wet-De Wet.
Through the black still night comes stamp and beat,
And the dark is a-clatter with horses feet
With the rattle of arms, as they wheel and pass,
And the dull, deep thunder across the grass.
Who rides by night when the moon is set?
And the night owl answers, ''De Wet-De Wet'
His home is the free veldt's open face;
His roof is the azure of endless space
He sleeps where he lOOsens his saddle girth;
And his only bed is the good red earth.
Such a leader OF men neer have met
And he fights for freedom, De Wet-De Wet
Full many time have held him fast,
And have vainly bOasted him caught at last;
We have ringed him round with ridge of steel
And have dreamed he was lying beneath our heel;
But the lion up, and had torn his net,
And was out in the open, De Wet-De Wet.
He strikes here. with his troop, today
And tomorrow a hundred miles away;
He sweeps, wolf, DER the open veldt;
And he carries death in his cartridge belt,
He has oath he will pay the debt
And in death he will keep De Wet-De Wet.
His name is a word we have learned to fear,
When the clouds thick and the night is drear
When the rain beats hard on the sodden sward
And the wild beasts crouch and the winds abroad;
When the starless sky is as black as jet,
Then he rides on his errand, De Wet-De Wet.
In the dead of the night when the camps asleep,
Though the sentinels guard and the rocks steep
There's shot in the dark-there's sudden cry,
And the men rush out from their tents to die
Who strikes by night, when the moon is set?
And the dead make answer, "'De Wet, De Wet.

Roosevelt's Reprimand.

No one has ever questioned the
republicanism of the Hutchinson
Interior-Herald. The following
from it's editorial columns would
Indicate that it's editor is one
of those Kansas newspaper men
who are not afraid to say what
they think:
The alleged "reprimand" adj
ministered to General Miles by
Roosevelt because the general
gave expression to the almost
unanimous opinion of the country
on the treatment of Schley by
the navy department, shows the
calibre and animus of this acci-
dental administration very clear
ly. The spectacle of this young
man elevated to the highest po-
sition in the world by act ol
GodY(or the deviD and the selfish
scheming of selfish politicians
who had never served in the
army, to see but one engagement
reprimading an old grizzled vet
erarf who had served in the army
longer than Roosevelt had lived
and had fought in and helped
winsmore battles than they had
both seen years, was spectacle
calculated to disgust the honest
sensible citizen. These be pecu
liar times, when the upstarr
rules, and assurance and assump
tion are accepted as evidence O
a determination in lofty pur
poses.'

Q ST WANT TO 60 HOME"

The other day there was a little
fat-faced, chubby listed fellow, OF
about five years old, on the
street in front of Kenneth, Mat
son & Scott's store, crying for
dear life. He was evidently lost,
and when Judge Sturges, who
happened along then, took an
interest in him and asked
''What is the rnatter?" all the
little fellow would say was: 81
want to go 'home," which it re-
peated over and over again. 1t
seemed odd, at first, to hear the
little fellow SO distressfully cry
ing for the home that, very likely,
was not SO far away, but it
meant, O! so very much to him.
And there is no great difference,
after all, between the little child
and every other gradetion of
age in the human family. When
the hour of childhood trouble
comes the child wants to "go
home" When disappointment
comes to the young man or wo-
man the thoughts are of mother
and 'shome.',' When sickness
and distress befall the father in
some distant state or land his
first thought is of home and a
desire to be taken to it. The
soldier cares little for the priva-
tiOns and Incidents of discomfort
of the camp and field, but when
wounded in body and panied at
heart his first wish and last de-
sire is: 81 want to go home. "
And when the old patriarch of
four score, who has out-lived all
his earthly homes, comes to the
end of his journey OF disease, of
distress and discomfort, his last
moments are made cheerful in
the expression and the hope of
the little child. 81 want to go
home" The golden streets and
the angelic-attuned harps would
have little charm were they any
thing but auxiliaries of that
glorified institution of human
happiness-"home." There was
so much meaning in the cry of
the little boy we heard weeping
on the streets-so much of hu-
manity, so much of nature.
1t is no wonder that the sweet
est song of all the world is
"Home Sweet Home," because in
it's simplicity it fathoms every
heart in every land and on every
sea.
The crying child touched the
tender chords of every heart in
his one weeping expression: 81
want to go home. "-Concordia
