A Mothers Mistake.

Last week a little Wichita boy coaxed
his playmate to go home with him and
| stay over night and the playmate gladly
consented to so, but now he is sorry that
he went and a week OF coaxing would
not persuade him to go again. The boys
went home together and had a fine time
playing together during the evening, but
when bedtime came, they were still full
of frolics. The mother sent them up to
bed and gave explicit directions that
her boy should sleep in front and that
both should keep quiet after going TO bed.
In making preparations Tor bed, they
completely forgot the orders about the
management in bed and the neighbor boy
climbed in in front. They lay very quietly
for a few minutes and then the visiting
boy felt a sharp toenail rake down his
back in a very ticklish manner. OF course
he giggled and that set things of. The
mother called and told him TO keep quiet
and go 10 sleep, but what two boys ever
kept quiet in bed when they were not
sleepy? After few minutes Of absolute
quiet the visiting boy gave the other one
a sly poke in the ribs, and he returned
the poke with renewed force; then Ito
pillows began to fly. The mother waited
no longer, but calmly walked upstairs,
grabbed the boy in front thinking it was
her young hopeful and gave him a sound
thrashing. He howled, ducked and dived
in his attempts TO get away while the
other boy kept mis- side of the bed and
said never a word. After the mother
had gone down stairs, the visiting boy
concluded that he woul. run no more
chances and gathering up his two-piece
suit. he hiked for home without even
saying goodbye. He says he will never
go back there to stay all night and that
when he goes any place else for that
purpose he viii be rather particular which
side of the bed he takes

WHEN PEACH TIME COMES.

Blessed be thy crimson cheek,
Kissed alike by the sun and the breeze;
So good, so beautiful, so dirineiy meek.
There is none thy equal on earth or
seas.
Is there a housekeeper in this land
OF plenty who does not rejoice when tbs
luscious and beautiful peach comes into
market? This fruit is at its best in Au-
gust and who can resist the tempting
display OF the choice varieties-the pink
and white-the balls OF gold which seem
TO hold imprisoned sunshineaH appeal
to the passer by and fill the mind OF
every housewifely. home-loving woman
with desire TO try her skill in presery-
ing this one fruit, at least. The season
is all too short for thoset who love this
wholesome fruit and :. Is fortunate that
the canned and dried peach tastes al
most as good as the fresh. when cooked
nothing can, however, compare with
the nectared sweetness of the fully ripe
being gathered. Do not attempt to keep
them too long after they are pulled as
they soon show signs of decay and are
not more wholesome than other fruit
when stale.
Most writer's give Persia as the native
land Of the peach. while others are in
clined TO believe it originally came from
China; but all agree that the transplant
ed, highly cultivated fruit admits of no
comparison with the first wild specimens
transplanted TO Europe, about the begin
ming of the Christian era.
Peach culture in the United States.h
always received a great deal Of atten-
ton and reached the highest state OF de-
velopment. From Georgia, California,
Delaware, New Jersey and Michigan we
get what We consider our finest varie-
ties. There are many sub-varieties but
the two main sorts are free-stone and
the cling-stonesome prefer the latter for
picking whole and for branded peaches.
considering that they are Of richer flavor
that the free-stone, which is much TO be
preferred for general purposes.
Good peaches are as nutritious as ap-
pies and when in fine condition, neither
too ripe or too green. are the most de-
licious and wholesome Of all fruits. and
more digestible for most people than the
apple. The skin OF the peach should
not be eaten. as Ii is not digestible.
The principle part of the peach is

He Couldn't Quit Working.

''While working on Wichita, Kan, pa
per-" Frank Wilson, Of Joplin, tells the
Joplin News-Herald, II met one Of the
most peculiar, yet one of the brightest
writers 1 ever met. His popularity was
this: He never really began an article till
after he had made seventeen separate
parts and every time he started he would
Invariably use q new sheet of paper.
Sometimes the editor became angry, but
this did no good; Rex-his name was
Rex Merr1ll-couId not break himself from
the habit Seventeen sheets of paper was
his limit When he started on the eigh-
teenth he would go. and that wasn't all;
he would never quit until the article was
finished. OF course. in writing small
items he had no trouble in making a,
beginning, but when he attempted TO
spread himself it was fierce.
mo matter what happened, Rex would
keep on writing after he once got started.
One night, about Il o'clock, entered the
office and found Rex using his pencil at
the rate of a mile a minute He was
writing a pathetic tale about little or
phan girl who had died of hunger. The
news I had to tell him was of nature
which caused me to hesitate before ap-
preaching him. I knew how angry it
made him TO be interrupted while at
work
Rex I said, touching him on the
shoulder There was no ansker.
Rex, repeated. I have a message
from your wife-she is sinking
Mrs Merrill had been seriously i'll for
several weeks yet the young man had
kept working steadily. He made no sign
that he had heard me and again 1 ap-
preached him. SUDDENLY turning on me

D YOU he yelled and before I could
guard myself he had struck me hard
blow In the face. For several minutes
lay stunned. Then as I left the room,
saw Merrill writing as rapidly as ever.
Mrs. Merrill died AT O'Clock that morning
and Rex found q corpse waiting for him
when he returned TO his home. He was
never the same after that He ceased to
} have any ability 10 compose and soon
after that he gave up the position and

Victor Murdock. Novelist.

The papers have been talking lately
about Victor Murdock as a congressman.
The Washington Times started the game
and the Hutchinson News speaks up as
follows:
The Washington Times pokes fun at
the big Seventh for having sent a
novelist to Congress in the person of
Victor Murdoch. 1t argues that the
writer of romance it not cut out TO strug-
gle with tariff schedules and dicker for
postoffice sites, not to mention the thous-
and other things that fall TO a congress
mans lot Just let the esteemed Times
wait, and its criticism may be turned
into praise. 1t has 70 learn that in Kan
sas the talented man may have divers
pursuits, and it should know that novel
writing is the least OF the things that
have made Victor Murdoch known
10 the people of the Seventh district.
The novel has been written during scraps
OF leisure found while editing a busy
newspaper. Its chapters have been sand
wiched between weighty editorials and
dealing with finance, the tariffs, expan-
sion and other present day questions
This young man studied the tariff at
the feet of Mckinley and the money
question under no less capable a tutor,
and the Times will find that he is no
novice in dealing with governmental
problems. AS to the petty duties, he
has already made his first postoffice ap-
pointment TO the very great satisfaction
OF the interested community, and ne Sc
cured a pension for a widow of this
county recently in record time. Let the
esteemed Times not worry for the con-
gressional career of Victor Murdoch, the
novelist; or, as least, it need have no
concern for the chagrin OF the people
OF the Seventh district, which it affects
20 believe is pending. The people of the
Seventh await with confidence the record
90 be made by Victor Murdoch"

Wichita Girls Feat.

Many stories have been printed in east
ern papers regarding the buXom Kansas
girl who can take her fathers place in
the harvest field or make a hand in the
cornt1eld, but il remained for a Wichita
girl to break the record in walking and
this was done one day last week by Miss
Lindsey, the daughter of c. T. Lindsey
the miller on West Douglas avenue. Miss
Lindsey went with a crowd of young
people to Gordon one day last week on
fishing trip. After spending several
days there she decided that she wanted
TO return TO Wichita and told the party
that she was coming. They had a good
laugh over il and in a bantering man
ner her brother told her that as it was
quite a long walk il would be a good
Idea TO start at one. She~t took him at
his word and while the others were busy,
around the camp she started out on foot
for Wichita. The distance from Gordon
TO Wichita is q miles and Miss Lindsey
stepped it off in just hours: When she
reached home she was pretty well tired
out, but had the satisfaction that she
had kept her word and was coming home.

weeks, after their arrival. the names would fill columns of this paper. Suf- fering in the last stages of consump- tion. dozens have died very soon after leaving the trains. Without exception, so ear as we have Eoted, the doomed invalids have come here in obedience to instructions from their home physi- clans.
 No language is adequate properly to characterize such heartless practice. science, and wholly without excuse.
 were these victims of medical cruelty in all cases able financially to come here without discomfort. But as
 matter of fact many of them are prac-
 tically penniless when they reach Ari-
 zona. It can hardly be that ignorance
 is the excuse of the doctors who are
 responsible for this cruelty and misery
 A single look at some of the doomed
 victims of tuberculosis is sufficient to
 convince a layman of ordinary intelli-
 gence that there is no hope. It Is
 clear that no man with even smat- tering of medical learning could make n mistake. But in the face of such cir
 cumstances the doctors in the east continue to send their hopeless patients
 to Arizona Is it because, having fully plucked the credulous invalids. they
 wish to get rid of them? It looks so. | n- necessary misery upon death-marked patients could see the loneliness, the homesickness, the suffering of sensitive men and women who find themselves separated in their last days from home and loved ones and condemned to die among strangers-all because of faith | in medical advice"-the spectacle ought to be sufficient for the most cold blooded.
 The practice of sending hopeless con- sumptives to this region when the clutch of death is already upon the patients is condemned unsparingly by every physician of any heart, and by nobody more than some of the Arizona doctors who are required by common humanity to deal with the cases. But | it is not worth while to expect that any appeal will reach the practitioners
 who cause the most unfortunate of all
 invalids to leave their homes for a death among strangers, and the only
 practical remedy for the evil is the spread of enlightenment among the afflicted themselves.

Two fiigh.C;ass Papers.

Two of Arizona's excellen; weeklies' the Globe Silver Belt and the Nogales Oasis, have celebrated birthday ami versaries within the past week. The Silver Belt is 9 years old. and the Oas- is is F. The Silver Belt is democratic and the Oasis is republican, but the two papers have cerain features Tn common. Each of them is noted for typographical excellence, for the hand ling of news in a creditable manner, for strong editorial page and for consist ency and integrity. Indeed, there are few country weeklies in the United States which are superior to the Oasis or the Silver Belt. Nogales and Globe are fortunate in having such high-class papers, and Arizona is fortunate in having a few such weeklies to offset the wretchedly edited, prosperity ing, graft-hunting. crossroads sheets which some people insist upon regard | ing as typical of territorial journal | ism.
