Excitement In Atchison.
! the Atchlson Glohe.

From the Atchison Globe
 A bargain counter scramble is tame affair in comparison with what happened in Atchison one day last week. A strange girl came to town and wanted to work out. Being an entire stranger she de- cided to put an advertisement in the ra- per for a place, hoping for results with in few weeks Within ten minutes after the paper containing her advertisement was out an army of women surrounded her boarding house. They came from all directions, hatless and breathless, some fin dressing sacques and kimonos, and all waving the paper containing the girls advertisement: all screaming at the tops of their voices. offering her from S4 up for her services. and promising that she should not have to wash or iron; the children should never enter the kitchen; she should have every afternoon and even ing off. and all the company she wanted once in a while some voices shriller than the others. could be heard shrieking above the roar, T do not offer you a place, but a HOME" Finally the girl was snatched up and taken home by a North Fifth street woman, who has her shadowed constantly for fear she will be stolen by the other women.

ing than that of the preceding laborers. Well, the great wall of progress has been builded in this way Each generation represents batch of workmen, each layer of stone the completed work of the pre- ceding generation The college boy of to- day knows more of geography, more of chemistry, more of astronomy, more ot all the sciences, than the ablest man llv- ing three centuries ago. Why? Because he has absorbed the compact knowledge of the last 300 years, which the great scholars of those three centuries have laid at his feet
 But as the wall of mental and spiritual progress went on growing higher and higher century after century, suddenly about 1900 years ago spiritually it took d miraculous lift. Christ's sacrifice was laid upon the top of it. The Calvary stones were the layers of the year 30 A. D. Those stones will lift all succeeding generations higher in knowledge and in possibilities, higher than all sin and higher than all future condemnations. l once heard worldly man say: 'rhe best man that ever lived never went to heaven on his own merits If we ever reach the city of the redeemed, 1t must be through what Christ has done for us and not through what we have done for ourselves" This statement contains the kernel. the es- sence. the heart of all the gospel John the Baptist in his own life great? Yesl Yet. notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of heaven Is great than he"
 Now, my friends, from worldly stand point it is almost impossible to compare the influences of different lives and 10 positively find out which one is the great CT. "Who has done the most for his country, Washington or Lincoln?" "Who was the father of the most brains. John Adams or Lyman Beecher?' (Which was the greater. Caesar or Napoleon?' are themes that will always be argued re- sultlessly. But, though we cannot tell who is the greater in q worldly sense, we do not know that in spiritual sense no one can be great save through Christ

Traininq for Greatness.

There must be a training for greatness
 The occasion does not create greatness; 1t only developes and produces it. It can- not create or make grearness out of common clay. We do not assert that his tory can play a Handels Messiah" upon a dinner plate or blow bugle blast with A penny whistle or catch thunderbolts with a straw hat or shoot mastodons with pins or strangle volcanoes with spider webs. The old poets said that when worlds are used for shuttlecocks and the universe is a playground and all infinity is ablaze with the conhagration then the very gods themselves must take part in the snort. It needs stronger arms than yours or mine to pitch islands for qu5its, to bowl down mountains for tenpins. to swing hemispheres as an athlefe hurs the hammer, or, with stamp of f)foot, to make the submerged continent Atlantis. which once stretched betweeni the old world and the new, with a dyirg g gurgle sink and disappear.

John the Raptlst,s Glory.

The purpose of this sermon is to show why John the Baptist was greater than all other men before Christ's Jordanic paptism-John the Baptist great, although he was so poor that his home was among the rocks and sands of the wilderness, lying between the capital and the Dead sea; so poor that his only garments were the coarse skin of the wild beast, through the holes of which stretched his long limbs and hairy chest; so poor that his only food was the grasshoppers or To- custs and the honey which had been hid- den by the bees among the caverns and the hills.
 From the worlds standpoint this is a strange portrait of a great man. But how wonderful is it's setting. The fabled portrait was of gold face with a sil- yer frame, but the portrait of John the Baptist is a silver face with a gold frame. Like a ruby glowing red it is set in a circle of most precious diamonds. Like a mirror of furnished brass. pure and spotless. 1t reflects the light of a rising sun It was John the Baptists glory that he was the hamburger of a greater than himself As the direct forerunner of the Son of God he came at the supreme crisis of the worlds history. His name was thus linked with the most momentous of all events and derives luSter rom the connection. There seems to be natural law that great men should always be identified with great events.
 Sometimes great events do not oppor- timely produce the right kind of men for both conflicting sides. After the famous battle of Blenheim, when the Duke of Marlborough had completely routed the forces of the French king, the conqueror saw among the prisoners a stalwart gren- adler. who. though a captive, was still an unsubdued enemy. "Ah" said the duke, If Louis XIV had had hundred thousand such men as you the results of this battle might have been differ ent." With that the French soldier sal- uted the English commander as he polite ly said: "Tis not a hundred thousand grenadiers such as I the French king needs my general, but just one such mil itary commander as you" But. though great events do not always produce for every army a Marlborough yet great men are produced only by great occasions. Great thoughts are born only amid the throes and convusons of great agonies. Great hopes are only rainbowed colors arching the dark heavens, black with angry tempests.

Deatn OF irvine Stewart.

The pioneers of Pullman hear
with deepest sorrow of the death of
Orville Stewart, one of the founders
of this city, his death having oc-
Cured on January 25th, at Port
land, Oregon.
Mr.. Stewart came to Pullman,
which was then known as "Three
Forks" in 1881, and established
the first store, remaining a citizen
of the place till 1890, and being al
ways leading factor in the enter
prises for the development and up
building of the country. He later
removed to Utah, but about a year
ago was attacked with paralysis,
with which he was a constant SUI
ferer till death came to his relief.
The remains were taken to North
Yamhill, Oregon, for interrment.

IT is probable that the commits
sion bill will be acted upon in both
house and senate next week. The
senate committee has recommended
the killing of the bill by vote of
7 to 4, while the house committee
stood 8 to 7 in favor of its passage.
The bill can probably pass the house
but will meet its death in senate.
The defeat of this measure will be a
serious handicap to the success of
republicanism in 1904.

WHILE it is true that the college

looked upon somewhat in the light
of its guardian, and she should put
forth every endeavor to advance its
interests, material and moral.
There is bond of sympathy be-

the school and the municipality,
are to be subserved. The interests
of one are, in a very great degree,
the interests of the other.

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
What an Indian Maharajah Gives
Away Every Year, Accord
ing to Custom.

The maharajah of Travancore is an
East Indian prince, who dresses in silks
and muslins and covers himself with
monds He has lakes of rupees and stores
of precious stones, as we'll as elephants
and palaces and numerous wives. And
once a year the maharajah becomes
generous. He is not generous in an i'm
pulsive manner, after the style of the
white man, but in a stately and trad1-
tional way, following custom which has
been handed down to HIM by his ances-
tors from time immemorial, says a Lon
don exchange.
The maharajah has just celebrated
hs annual charity with unusual splen-
dor. Months before the ceremony his
government bought great quantities OF
pure gold, the greater part of which was
converted into coin. On the auspicious
day the prince went in great state to the
principal temple, and there, with solemn
Hindoo rites, presented an elephant to
the priests of Brahma. In the temple
a great pair of balances had been set up.
and into one of the scales the maharajah
Steppou. his SWOlu dhu ou1clu WCAC
then handed him, and into the other
scale was shoveled the newly minted
coin prepared for the occasion. The first
and second princes shoveled in the gold
and the priests standing about chanted
Vedic hymns. AS the weight of gold
overbalanced the weight of the mahara-
jah and he rose gradually from the floor
the artillery stationed outside fired q
salute, proclaiming to the principality
that the measure of his highness' phflan-
thropy was full. Then, with elaborate
ceremony, the maharajah was escorted
back to his palace and the gold was dis
tributed among $4,000 Brahmins previ-
ously selected.
Philanthropy will now take another
12 months sleep in Travancore.

LAWN TENNIS.

One time the most of us. no doubt
Had open hearts for others:
We scorned the shield Distrust held out,
We met all men as brothers
With years cool wisdom on us slips
The armor once declined;
The laugh grows idle on our lips,
Or purpose turks behind.
Fearful to lose our little place,
We dare not venture far
To welcome others of our race,
Men of the self-Same star.
Eager to win beyond our ranks,
We trample others down,
And pressing Ger them murmur thanks
Our eyes upon the crown.
And yet we bear no enmity;
Its life,'' we sadly say;
We would be genial, open, free,
To all men as the day.
"This armor that doth make us safe.
This visor to the eye, .
We feel their weight, we feel them chafe
We fain would put them by
And when we come to our green field,
Far from the strife of town,
Forthwith in gentleness we yield
And lay that armor down.
The touch of f1annels to our skin,
Of grass beneath our feet,
OF sun at throat may help US win
Safe past the judgment seat

his women friends, was ringmaster at
Mrs. Oelrich's circus, and recently a

was denied vigorously, that he slept with
