and friendly talk on some theme of

+. L. Farjeon, a son-in-law Of Jo-
seph Jefferson, and an English novelist
of note, died recently at his Hamp-
stead home, from rupture Of blood
vessel. Mr.. Farjeon was born in Lon
don about sixty-seven years ago, and
early developed a gift for writing, be-
ing famous among his comrades at the
private schools where he was educated
for his stories. After leaving school
he served an apprenticeship as COM
positor in a newspaper office, and then
became q newspaper writer. His first
novel, Crit" published in 1870,
brought him into favorable publicity
and created a demand for his further
writings.
At very early age Frank Stockton
and his younger brother, John, became
ambitious to write. They sent their
eliusions to various periodicals, with
the usual result. At last they decided
that editors did not know good thing
when they saw it, and hit upon a
brilliant scheme to prove their own
Judgment. One Of them selected an
extract from Paradise Regained" Gas
being not SO we'll known as Paradise
I.ost'O and sent it to an editor with
the boys own name appended, expect
ing to have it returned with some of
the usual disparaging remarks, which
they would greatly enjoy. But they
were disappointed. The editor printed
it in his paper, thereby proving that
he did know a good thing, even if he
did not know NIilton.-Bookman.

BAXTER SPRINGS EXCITED.
The Owner Of ~ cslsbrate1 Servings
There Threatens to Turn the
Park Into q Hog Lot.

According to press reports, Bax-
ter Springs is all torn up over the
threat of the owner of the celebrat-
ed springs there to turn the park
where the springs are located into
a hog lot. 1t seems that he was
compelled to build sidewalk along
the park against his wishes and in
order to get even proposes to make
a hog lot of the park. This has
aroused the people and they are
now talking of having the park
condemned and purchased by the
city. The ground around the min
eral syringe there is historic and
the people of Baxter want it pre-
served. Under a law passed last
winter the city has the authority to
land for park purposes

A SILLY LAW.

Kansas has many fool laws or

ing the Office of truant officer is thu
most nonsensical, with the single
exception of the prohibitory. enact
ment.
A truant officer must be appoint
ed in every city with salray of s.
per day. His duties are to look up
children who play hockey or are
habitually absent from school and
bring them in. Parents who fail to
send their children to school may
be prosecuted. 1t is proper and
right that children should be com.
PEELED to attend school, but to pay
a man So day for almost moth.
ing is absolutely ridiculous and
burden the tax payer should not
stand.
c. W. Daniels offered to take the
office for one year and charge the
district nothing for his services,
when it is to be hoped the legisla.
ture will repeal the law and put the
whole business back in the hands
of the board of education. At the
last meeting the board appointed
Mr.. Daniels truant officer and he
says he will see that every child
goes to school or to jail. This ap-
pointment will save the tax payers
several hundred dollars per annum.
