Give US the 10000 Subscribers.

The Raleigh Caucasian says that
if it could get its circulation increas.
Ell to 10000 subscribers it would
promise to carry the State for honest
government at the next election
This is certainly a fair proposition
and we hope that its circulation viii
be increased to fully that number
II it can "deliver the goods" th'
people could we'll afford to pay th'
price of the 10000 subscriptions
aud, besides, give the Caucasian I

The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1903-11-20

m his soul dwelt the love Of exquisite
harmonies and music: that her voice
was the key that unlocked the gate Of
that soul, and for the first time In his
short life, that had been crowded SO
full Of the harsh, the coarse, the I'M
lovely experiences of poverty and dis
tress; just as his soul was lowering
on the border of that land whose light
even now was clarifying his face, he
experienced joy.
When her voice died away he drew
q long, deep, quivering sigh. Gee!
Amt that a corker! l hain't never
heard anything like dat before
nevir." Oh, the pathos Of it! The
rough, coarse slang of the streets, the
only language he knew, to express the
emotion of that beautiful soul The
tears sprang to Barbara's eyes and
she pressed the little, cold hand that
lay outside the coverlid, 10 her lips.
Presently he said in q voice SO low
she had to lean down to catch the
words, "Wonct I heard q song at de
barricks, bout Teller what lived up
in de sky and loved kids; does yer
know dat one?"
Perhaps do. dear: was 1t anything

like this?" and Barbara hummed the
refrain of that sweet hymn children
sing, Suffer Little Children to Come
Unto Me. Jesus Said"
A joyous light broke over his face
and a CLEAN Of radiant brightness
came into his eyes. Yes, dat's it,
OATS it. Sing it again."
The nurse came quietly in at the door
and framed the words with her lips.
Go quickly" Her trained eyes told
her what was coming. But Barbara
shook her head and walked over to
the window.
The nurse moistened his lips with
some stimulant and tried to help him.
But the pain was cruel, twisting and
torturing the poor, mangled body.
Barbara stood holding on to the case
ment Of the window. drawing her
breath in great gasps as If that could
help him.
When the paroxysm had passed he
lay back on the pillows exhausted.
Barbara crept back to the bed. Slow
ly the deep violet eyes opened and the
same exquisite smile he had greeted
her with crept over his face again.
His lips were moving. Barbara
caught the words: Jesus, what loved
de little kids! Do yer tink He'd care
fer q little Teller like me?"
ooh, little boy. little boy, I am sure
he would. l am sure he would" said
Barbara. Again that marvellous smile,
just touching the corners of his mouth.
Just then the light went out of the
dark eyes, and the quiet peace of the
Easter morning streaming in at the
open window wrapped them close.
Another little white soul had joined
the angels, and in Barbara's heart I'M
til she died she could hear the child
ish voice, do yer tink He'd care for

Hardly of Character to Bring Forth
Charity.
Archdeacon Sinclair of London is
considerably over six feet in height
and broad in proportion. His inches,
like his leaning toward the church.
may be said to have come to him
through heredity, for his father, Will
lam Sinclair, was the fifth son of Sir
John Sinclair, author of the 'Statisti-
cal Account of Scotland" and was one
Of fifteen children, the shortest of
whom was six feet in height, while
the tallest reached six feet seven
inches. When King George III. on one
occasion was at Holyrood Sir John
presented his six girls to the king
as "thirty-six feet of daughters" The
pavement outside his house in Ediu-
burgh was made of very large flag
stones from the family property in
Caithness and was, as Mr.. Gladstone
told the archdeacon, always spoken OF
as 1.-The Giants Causeway." One Gay
the tallest of the archdeacon's aunts
was going along the street when she
was pursued by an Irish beggar wom-
an, who invoked blessings on her head
in the hope of aims. Finding ler
Establishments in vain, the woman
changed her tone and exclaimed: At
least ye might give me your shoe to
make q cradle for my baby"
