With It's flavor of oldtimeneS5, this

the primal opinions of human nature
come unchanged down through the

In affairs of matrimony," says this

governed by love alone and some by
reason alone. Each ought to have a
Joint concern In these matters-they

Love looks only to the honeymoon.
He is a near-sighted little mink:
doesn't see two inches before his

his eyesight, and thinks he has a
wonderfully clear vision. He is not
able to discover any defects, and
therefore most soberly concludes
there are none. Consequences all lie
utterly beyond his kenyon might as
we'll tell him the moon was made Of

All this is the natural consequence Of

" Marry the lass that has the cow

a laddie who consulted him on the
subject of choice between a girl
with a COW and one that had nothing
but q pretty face. so far as beauty
is concerned, there is not the differ

something in it, But marry the girl

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World
Except a Surgical Operation,
Tina. VIII Certainly Cure
Any Form Of Plies.

The study of physicians, the experf-
mentS OF chemists, the loudly ADVERTISED
pretensions OF quacks, have been~for years
expended in one direction; to find nile
cure that would cure
Inc results have been a number NJ
harmless ana IN most cases useless ONT
mehtS, supposito1les and even internal
remedies. which the public have weighed
IN the balance of experience and found
wanting; nearly all of them gave some

cure resulted from these preparations

had been produced but at that time sun

ionS-sought permanent cure for this COM

idly become famous throughout the United

all druggists under the name of Pyramid

1t is now the best known. because its

reach than the innocent child, so deep
ly sensitive to every impression?
The greatest power on earth for pre-
venting the loss of a child, or for re-
claiming the hayward, is the parents
love. especially the mothers love- None
save the parent who in agony has
watched the life ebb and flow, and then
has barely saved or finally lost a pre-
cious child, can have any conception of
a true parents warmeSt love.
Countless thousands of young men
and women have felt that the remem-
brance of precious mothers tender
sympathy and unchanging love has
kept them in the narrow path when all
alse would have been in vain. Truly, a,
noble mother is the most precious of all
gffts-the greatest wonder of the world,
the grandest miracle on earth, the
highest glory Of angels in heaven, the
most perfect work Of Almighty God.
The Fifth Requisite.
wisely. will generally be sufficient to
influence child, every child must, at
times, feel that back of the kindness
there Is firmness which must be con-
Sldered. By firmneSS is not meant bru-
tality or harShneSs, or even unkindness
The child should feel that the hand laid
upon him is controlled by the love and
teHuerneSS or the mother, and the
strength and firmness of the father.
While the very young child must
meet with nothing but kindness, yet,
very early, it can learn what is meant
by the restraining look or act In the
early years, until implicit obedience be-
comes habitual, the demand for firm
ness will be most frequent.
AS the child grows older the neces :
sity for its use should decrease, so
that by the time the child has reached
the age of ten or twelve. when the
child begins to fret under absolute de-
mands, there should be but little need
of commands
Any appearance of indecision will be
great temptation to resistance of au-
thority; especially with the child I'M
der twelve it is best to err upon the
side of firmness. Some may fear that
this will make the child feel unkindly
toward the parent. Such is not the
case. On the contrary, every careful
observer must acknowledge that chill
dren naturally respect and love those
who insist upon strict compliance with
the rules of right. Seldom, if ever. will
you find a show of gratitude or love
on the part of the child who has been
coaxed to do what is right.
Sixth Requisite.
OuIIOI,E treatment is anOther very
important requisite of proper training
How few recognize its Importance,
Today the parents example is diamet-
rfcally opposite to what it was yester-
day. The act punished with severity
then 1t passed unnoticed now. At one
time overwhelmed with kindness: at
another crushed by firmness which
amounts to positive cruelty, if not
brutality. Today. petting; tomorrow,
scolding. Yesterday threats; today
brides. Under such fitful management
is 1t to be wondered at that the child
Is trained to no fixed principles of ac-
ton? On the contrary, it is but natu-
raj that the child's conduct comes to
be determined by the mood of the par
ent, rather than by the conviction of
what Is right. Very soon the child
learns to calculate chances and devel-
OPP wonderful ability to take every
advantage of government by spasms.

THE NATIONAL. GUARD.

There is much doubt as to whether IT
will be possible to use the new rifle range
at Lake City during the interstate com
petition this week. Owing to the unceas-
ing rain of the past two weeks the place
has had more the appearance of mud
field than rife range, and 1t has been
impossible to use it. The cross cut 600
yard range is now being used, and will
prove adequate to the requirements 1t
VIII, however, be a great disappointment
to the officials in charge, as a large
amount of money has been expended to
put the range in shape for the Interstate

was chosen as the scene of battle greatly
increased the interest

cut-on Rumors.

Considerable speculation is be-
ing INDUCED in by railroad men as
to what effect the high water and
washouts in eastern Kansas will
have on the building OF the Santa
Fe cut off. Ii seems to be the
general opinion that since the road
has experienced such trouble with
high waters and wash-outs it will
not build from Dodge City, as first
reported. Ii is argued that a cut
off from Dodge City at the present
time would be useless as far as re-
lieving the situation in the east is
concerned, while If the line went
the southern way, j. e.; via the
Southern Kansas and Pecos Val
ley lines, the California traffic
would suffer little or no delay dur
ing the present troubles arising
from floods. A cut off being built
from west OF Newton would be de-
pendent upon a single line OF
track. thus subjecting both the
main line and the cut off west OF
the junction point to stoppage of
traffic should anything occur on
the single line to cause delay.
