WHEN BED TINE CANE.

On the Santa Ee train coming
out of Kansas City recently was a
mother and her brood of fve-four
girls and one boy. They had left
Illinois the day before. and were on
their way to the new country"
where the husband and father has
a claim which IS to be the ne,s
home The eldest girl appeared 10
be about -, and from that age they
ranged down to the only boy, a
chubby little fellow about four
Their dress and manner showed
that they had not been reared in
the midst OF luxury and opulence,
but withal they were model chill
dren and scrnpulously clean. The
mother was thin and bony, her face
slick and shiny from much washing,
and haggard from the worry of the
long trip and the care of her pre-
cious little flock, for there were
tweI ty-four long hours yet before
the journeys end. 1t vas after bed
time when the train left Kansas
City, and the younger ones were
so )n yawning and scarcely able to
keep awake. In fact, the boy had
closed his eyes and was fast APP
proaching 'shut-eye-town," while
the next oldest tugged at him as
she looked appealingly to her
mother with an expression that was
pitiful. He mustn't go to sleep yet
The Others began whispering among
themselves and then to the mother,
as if something exciting had hap
penened or would happen soon. all
of which attracted the attention of
the other passengers who sat in
Tonderment as they tried to divine
the cause Of so much whispering
and such strenuous efforts to keep
the least one awake. They occupied
seats in the front end of the car,
including a long seat which runs
along the smoking partition.
Presently the cause of all this
excitement was made plain-it was
bed time and they had not said
their prayers. Quietly, without
ostentation or display the mother
and her children knelt together,
the baby bowling his head with the
rest and rubbing with chubby
hands eyes that would hardly stay
open, while the evening prayers
were said Then they arose, the
children were made comfortable for
the night. and soon all but the
mother were sleep, while the
moistened eyes and quivering lip
of the other passengers, the travel
ing men with their grips, the poll
tician with his schemes, the bust
nessman with his worries, yes even
the old reprobate of the News, paid
a silent but mighty tribute to the
greatest civilizing agent of all ages,
the Christian religion.
Here, oh We teachers of theology,
is a sermon greater than you ever
preached
Here, oh We choirs, is an anthem
sweeter that We ever sang.
Here, oh We hosts of Israel,
quarrelling over creeds and doc
trines and torn with strife and
envy, is a lesson more powerful than
you ever taught.
God save the mother and her
brood, bring them to their home in
safety, and to their last days in
peaee.-Wellington Kan. News.

THE RIGHT WAY TO BRIDE.


An amusing story is being told
among lawyers Of a Walloon peas
ant who had gone to law with a
neighbor. In conversation with
his lawyer he suggested sending the
magistrate fine couple OF ducks.
Not for your life" said his
adviser. IF you do, you'll lose the
case"
The judgment was given in his
favor, when he turned to his lawyer
and said: Il sent the ducks"
Astonishment on the latter's part
turned to admiration when his
client continued: But | sent them
in my neighbours name.-London

Is interested in the welfare of his

Kansas City and predict for him a
great success as a practitioner in
that city.

There is still no information In the local post

declared yesterday that he was still without in
formation and had seen no evidence of the ad-
ditionsl inspectors who were reported to be COM

position in the local postoffice to discredit this
report. it being pointed out that the report was
coupled with another rumor that the investiga-
tion was 10 be extended to all contracts for sup
plies in the local Office.
That this last rumor was at once untrue and
meaningless was the contention. All con-
tracts were made in Washington, whence the
Office here drew its supplies in common with all
postofflces and therefore could have no indi-
Vioual contracts to be investigated Eight in
spectors are still in the city. and those not
working on supply contracts are assisting In
