Some years ago the Topeka Capital was
compelled to hold a contest in order to
get their reporters to get down and do
their level best at falsifying.
One day the editor said Now. boys,
I'm going to Offer ten-dollar .eo!d-piece
for the biggest lie told today"
Does that include the office force?"
said a little fellow who was errand boy
for the establishment.
''No, no." calculated a desirous re-
porter.
But it was finally agreed that the boy.
at least, should be given chance at the
ten dollars. So. they began to open the
contest. and. after some argument, the
office boy was made to tell the first lie.
The whole reportorial staff were throw
ing fun at the youngster, and derided him
for his folly in entering the contest with
them.
But the boy was not daunted in the
least.
Mr.. Editor commenced the boy. 'I
do not believe that these reporters ought
to be asked to tell lies" At this the
boy paused a moment ana stared at the
anxious, jealous faces about him.

Maud laughed till she could hardly stand,
And to the Judge held out her hand;
He looked up sourly-looked askance.

Declined with thanks her proffered aid,
Took OF his skates and homeward
strayed
He looked back as he climbed the hill,

ABOUT HARD TIMES IN KANSAS.

Here is the way the Oshkosh Northwestern puts it.
"The total of the crops raised in Kansas this year
is officially estimated 500 which is equal to
$3.50 apiece for every person years age in
that state IN other words the value of the crops raised
in Kansas this year would allow O salary OF $40 per
month for whole year for every resident of the state
above the age mentioned Evidently there is use
in trying to preach hard times in Kansas

No tiny feet come fretting at her door,
No paintive voices prattle or complain,
Save in her heart, where cries out in vain

And calls on God to leave her not alone
