WHERE Axe We DRIFTINGl


A cursoFy glance through the various
magazines of the day present TO the
reader a very diScOuraging outlook out
look and yet one which has been long
expected. With a few exceptions, the
vast majority of our reading matter IS
practically worthless, from literary
standpoint. 1t is mere dainty buppie,
good only for few short moments, ana
then breaks and is gone. It has no sta
bility, no worth, expresses no meaning,
teaches no lesson.
The world of today. so far as literary
pursuits are concerned, is like small
child who reaches for the sweets ana
let's the solid foods go untouched.
Pleasure first by fair means or foul, is
the motto of the present day genera
ton. And the majority of our publiea-
tons are awakening to this fact and
preparing to cater TO the public taste.
Periodicals that hitherto occupied dis
tngu1Shed place among the literary
guides have abolished. to a certain ex-
tent all matter that would be helpful
and needful 10 mankind for the lighter
kind of work. Even those who still cling
to the old idea of giving food for
thought to the serious minded, reserve
some space for love stories, light poetry
and the like, all of which, sooner or
later, will encroach upon the others ter
ritory until It entirely occupies the pages
of the periodical.
AS a matter of fact, we take life too
lightly. Few reilly seriously consider the
tasks set before them. If any consci-
entious thought presents itself, we push
it aside for some frivolous, idle notion
that can do no good and may bring
harm. Literature has for ages been
looked upon as one of the highest
branches of mans education. 1t is the
means whereby the persons most fitted
for the task may give to the world such
truths and teachings as are necessary
to their intellectual life. And no one
can gainsay the fact that without the
literary efforts of a few of our older
writer's latter day scribes would occupy
the positions they now filI.-Memphis

CUBAN TREATY.
It Comes Up for Discussion at
the Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, June 23.-At the ca 5inet
meeting today Secretary Wilson sub
mitted an elaborate set of plans for the
new building for the department Of ag-
riculture. Considerable modification of
the plans submitted will be necessary IN
order to bring them within the cost pro-
posed by congress.
Secretary Hay referred briefly to the
pending treaty looking to the acquisi-

settlement of title to the Isle of Pines
As to the naval stations it appear that
the treaty Will be so framed as to per-

HOW YEALE DID 1T.
Settled Controversy With Neighbos
and Avoided Law Suit.

Colonel George w. Veale, custodian
of the state house, had a little trouble
a few days ago over cattle of his own,
but he did not settle it according to
the approved methods OF the northwest.
Instead he made a settlement which left
his neighbor one of his best friends.
Colonel Veale owns a ranch down in
Usage county. He went down there
few days ago and found that some of
his cattle had broken out and gone into
a neighbours corn field. The neighbor
had taken them up and demanded that
he be paid for what corn they had dam
aged before he released them. Colonel
Veale looked the field over, but could
see no damage. The neighbor could see
it. They finally agreed to leave it to a
justice OF the peace So they went to
town, the neighbor entered complaint,
a jury was impaneled. and the jury
went out and looked at the field. No
arguments were made and the jury de-
cided that there had been no damage.
The costs were taxed against the neigh
Dor.
Colonel veale and his neighbor then
went back, drove the cattle into the
pasture, and fixed up the fence together.
Then, inasmuch as it was his cattle that
had started the trouble, Colonel Veale
paid the neighbor the costs in the case
and dollar for the time he had lost in
going to town, and the two parted the
best of friends.

CITY WILL DRAIN IT.
Controversy Over Water West Of
North Topeka Settled

Al four O'Clock Monday afternoon the
members of the streets and walks COM
mlttee went to North Topeka to inspect
the place where H. E. Gaines had put
his drainage scheme into operation. The
flood gate, which Street COMMISSIONS
Snyder had interposed to stop the water
from running into North Topeka, had
been reopened ard the water was
shooting merrily across Polk street in
the channel Gaines had dug. IT was evil
dent that the service Of a policeman
was necessary to keep the place closed
After looking at that place the COM
mittee went west alorg the Jni9n Pa
cific tracks to see how much water
there was to be drained off and TO see
if it could not be drained by digging
a ditch north and south between the
lake and the river. They found a half
mile of water stretching west from the
city to the high ground in the country
west of town, all of 1t ready 10 run
through Mr.. Gaines channel on Polk
street. and down through the holes IN
North Topeka into Soldier creek at Cen
trail avenue, if only given time As
far as the eye could judge the engineer
ing proposition connected with draining
the water directly into the river on the
west side of town was reasonable. but
it might involve considerable expense
for labor.
There was another possible solution
At the east end of the lake the water
narrOws and stands inside the city linn
its for a block between Taylor and FOLK
streets before 1t passes through the
Gaines outlet. All the rest of the water
is in the country. BY building dam
across the neck of water at Taylor
street. just inside the city limits, the
city could cut off the big body Of water
to the west and save itself the expense
of draining several hundred acres q
farming land This was the solution
recommended by City Attorney spencer
and favored by the mayor. Bur the
streets and walks committee thought II
would be cheaper to let the water out
through North Topeka than 70 dig
bitches or build dams to let 1t out else
where or to hold it back
Mayor Bergundthal was not present
as a member of the party or he would
probably have objected to this decision
Street Commissioner Snyder simply
said that the drainage of the big lake
would probably take several weeks and
would result in having water in Nortn
Topeka that much longer, and that the
water. if let down as Mr.. Gaines had
allowed it to run. would soak through
the quicksand and soften lot OF me
roadway that has been constructed
through North Topeka for the use Of
farmers and people in Shorey.
Upon hearing the decision of the
streets and walks committee MI Der
gundthal said he believed Il was wrong
He thought the county ought to be COM
PEELED to do its own draining and that
Street G Commissioner Snyder should be
sustained in his first refusal to let the
water run through the channel Gaines
had dug

Heath, a brother of Perry s. Heath
John Heath is connected with the IN

ton of 1880 acres in South Carolina and
several hundred shares of stock in the

ted that the first he knew of his dis
tinguished uncle's endowment was a
few days ago when tenants of the local
property began to call on him OH mat
ters concerning the property. He then
learned that it was in his name. Yong
Heath at first refused to tell anything
concerning the alleged transfer of Perry
S. Heath's interests but admitted it
when pressed. When asked if Perry S.
Heath had communicated with him ne
replied that he had not.
