Bert Decker, young sportsmar

when young, raised them as kittens, !"

as shepherd dogs, they are quite tame

can outrun dogs on the hunt, and are

81 am almost discouraged by the
results of popular education" said an
old teacher. "For forty years I have
been teaching in the public schools OF
the city in which I live, and many OF
nay earliest pupils are now men OF
middle age. What discourages me is
that so many of my brightest sehoi.
ars have proved failures in the pro-
LESSONS, in business, and in public
life, while the most successful of our
citizens were, as a rule, eiassed
among the dull pupils.
Give of the leading lawyers in this
city were my pupils, and they were
all below the average in scholarship,
department and punctuality. Several
of our most prominent business men
belong to the same group, while
among physicians, engineers and min.
listers find that some of my duliest
pupils are in the front rank.
"On the other hand, some of my
brightest apd most promising sehol-
airs are little better than tramps,
and most of them are below the ~.
erage in the avocations they have
chosen"

The following is taken from the
Oberlin Herald, and this what it has
to say OF the late judicial convention
held in Oberlin last month";.
after the convention had gotten
down to business, Lafe Thompson OBJ
tanned the floor and nominated R.
Hamilton for judge. He said Norton
county would give him 400 majority
and would up by. saying: 1T is high
judges position should be stopped. ,
This assertion brought smile to the
faces Of the crowd, for it is quite gen.
orally understood that Hamilton is
the most incompetent man that has
sat on the bench since the district
was organized.

POOLING THE PEOPLE.

Some one once said that a man with
a conscience could not be a consistent
partisan. It looked like a wild state
ment but things have occurred in Kan
sas during the past week that might
at least be used as corroborative evil
dence to sustain such an extreme posi-
ton.
The county commissioners of Miami
county made a supplemental report of
the administration of T T. Kelly as
county clerk of Miami county They
found additional shortages to those re-
ported some time ago, but they were
not large enough to be seriously consid-
cred.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
commissioners expressly stated that the
findings were supplementary to those
before made and did not touch Kelly
shortage of over $1,000, the partisan
friends Of Kelly at once threw up their
hats and shouted that Kelly had been
exonerated. A number of these were
editors. and one of them is an especially
brilliant young man at Lawrence whose
greatest enjoyment is secured by ques-
tioning the motives of other people. He
has his own ideas about Row a news
paper should be conducted, and eontin-
udlly PIRATES ABOUT eultOES WHO nave no
conscience. Still this man deliberately
hoisted this latest Kelly falsehood at his
masthead and pointed it out as the
truth.
This man has been perfectly willing
to mislead his readers to establish his
own contention, and of course he would
not have done SO except for his blind
partisanship. In the ordinary affairs of
life he is undoubtedly honest. but as a
partisan politician he is subservient to
falsehood and without a scruole con-
dones dishonesty Happily there are
only a few men like this Lawrence ed

fession? Why should be exhibit his
skill and exhaust his nerve power upon
patients who cannot pay him, wllen
every moment of his time and skill
could be coined into golden ingots-or
rather into the gold-based currency of
this republic? Does he do it to adver-
tise himself? That would seem to be
unnecessary. since his fame is already
sufficient to lead a denizen of Chicago
to seek him out in his Austrian home
ana lure him across the ocean with the
offer OF a fee of unprecedented magni-
tude for two hours operation. The
1act is. that men in the medical and
surgical profession are every day doing
deeds of charity like unto this Most Of
them are less eminent, and their doing5
are not widely ehronicled in the news
papers-but they give their time and
their all of skill to patients who cannot
pay them. and thus to the extent of
their ability they are exhibiting as much

the Jacksonville. Fla, fire department
was in Topeka, commissioned to buy
horses for his department and pay as
much as 5000 apiece for the right kind.
He stated that no horses could be
found in the south. and so far he had
been unable to locate any in Kansas
Evidently fire horses are a scarce ar
ticle, and when they are found bring a
fancy price.
The council has authorized Chief VIII
marth to buy three horses at the best
terms as soon as he can find suitable
animals. but although this action was
taken some months ago no horses have
been found.
