Our republican friends in Bar

OUK fepuD11Cctu lf1eudS LII D1tf-
ton county are Cup against it.
They had, up to the past week,
thought they had some show of
electing couple of men to coun-
ty office. But since the bosses
who are still boss in higher
places have offered Theo. Griffith
the Great Bend P. o. (Which at
50, 900 net a year for four years
is much better than a 'schance"
for 81 800 a year for two years,
there has been trouble in the
camp. 1t is reported that since
Crit. has been eliminated from
the county race, Dick johnson
wants to back out of the traces
Che having much more profit
able business looking after his
private interests 1t is also re-
ported on good authority that
the bosses have even offered
the treasurer nomination to a
life long Great Bend democrat,
but had it turned down-as he
felt he would be at the polls if
running on republican ticket.
In the meantime the lay mem
bers of the republican party, the
farmers and laborers who fur
nish the votes, are wondering
where they or their party princi-
pie come in? They are waiting
supinely by until their managers
can scare up somebody to run,
when they will be expected to
file into town and go through
the form of a convention.
Bro. TowNsLEY, of the Tribune,
wasted a column of space last
week worrying over what he
claimed was the bad fix the
democrats and populists of Kan
sas are in. He is worried nearly
to death for fear we will not get
on the ballot when we get to-
gether on one ticket. Keep your
shirt on, brother. You will have
enough to do to gather up the
pieces ofyour own party after the
united opposition gets through
with it; and you need not count
on any sympathy from the pops
or democrats in your hour of
trouble, even though you do
worry now about what you call
our deplorable condition.
IT IS now reported with a good
deal of certainty that the P. o.
fight at Great Bend will soon be
settled by the appointment of
Theo. Griffith. From which it
would seem that the Great Bend
bosses only have one man quail
fed for a good paying job.

Solving IT.

Patrick, a thrifty tradesman in the
neighborhood of the Dublin docks,
was, the story goes in Tit-Bits, a man
who spent a penny more than
he needed to spend; but he was, never
theless, as good a man at the making
of an Irish bull as any who lived be-
tween Bantry and B~allycastle.
Having n day occasion to send a
letter TO a place at some distance, Pat
rick called a messenger and asked him
his price for going such a distance.
It'll be a shillin'," said the man.
"Twice two much!'' said Patrick.
Let 1t be sixpence."
"Nivver," answered the messenger.
"The way list hat lonely that I'd niv-
yer go 1t under a shillin'."
Lonely, is it?" said Patrick,
scratching his head. Faith, an ye'ro
roight. Now. man, I'll tell We what
we'll do; make it s~ixpence, and I'll go

"The treasury department runs
across many funny things in the
course of a days business" said an
official of that department. THE mails
are full of curious epistles, but, as a
rule most of them receive polite atten-
ton and answers are returned. Just
before the close of the year that ended
with December 81 Secretary Gage gave
an interview, showing the splendid
condition of the country in a financial
way, and the full purse of Uncle Sam.
In his statement he showed that four
years ago or a little more the per cap
ita circulation throughout the country
was only $23.14, but that although the
population has increased the volume of
money has more than kept pace. so
that the per capita at the first of the
year was $2S.73. A mar named Schmidt
in New York saw the statement. and
the day after New Year wrote a letter
to the treasurer saying that If the per
capita was so much he certainly did
not nave his portion of it. He inclosed
a draft on the treasurer for the amount
that he considered he was entitled to-.
The draft was presented to Treasurer
Roberts with great solemnity, but he
declined to honor 1t, and directed that
no answer be sent to Mr.. Schmidt.

Too little for Too Mich.

When the late ameer of Afghanistar
was troubled with a bad toothacbe he
sent for his European dentist in open
court. The dentist examined the
tooth, which was nothing more thar
an III stump, and advised that the
ameer should take laughing-gas and
nave 1t out. The ameer inquired into
the effect of the gas and replied:
i can not risk being a dead man for
five seconds, much less five minutes. .
So, while the whole Afghan court
surveyed the operation, the dentist
struggled with the tooth, and the stout
old ameer never moved a muscle.
The quality of common sense which
characterized this ruler once averted
a war between England and Russia.
A representative Of the ameer told
him that the Russians had taken
Afghan territory, but as England had
guaranteed him against aggression he
could easily depend on England to go
to war If he said the word.
The ameer sat quietly for a few min
utes, stroking his beard, and then
called for a map of Afghanistan.
When it was brought he asked the
representative to show him the ter
r1tory that had been seized. Then
tracing the little fringe of country,
and sweeping with his finger the great
space that stood for the rest of his
kingdom, he said:
1T is so little that it Is not worth
making a great war about "-Youth's
Companion.

Sixty degrees below zero is the
frightfully cold atmosphere in which
Alaskan gold hunters must often work.
They make fireplaces of snow in that
desolate region. The snow is pressed
into blocks like bricks, and a fire.
place two feet or three feet square is
built with them. When the fire is
lighted the snow, of course, melts on
the surface, but when the fire is out
this freezes so hard that the next fire
causes it to become only damp. A
snow fireplace used only for cooking
purposes will last for an entire winter.

Very few kings indeed can have re-
ceiyed the three separate rites of bap-
tism, coronation and marriage from
the same minister Of God, and prob
ably the case of George III. is unique.
At the time he was born on Ju1e T.,
1898, at Norfolk House, St. James
square, London, the rector of the par
ish of st. James was DR.. Seeker, bish-
op of Oxford, who first baptized the
prince privately and about a month
later publicly. In 1853 DR.. Seeker was
elevated to the arehbishopric of Can
terbury, and only three years later
performed the ceremonies of marrying
and browning the king and queen.
