|RA|SE FLOWERS
FOR THE SICK
Seven Girls viii Each Have
Charity Flower Bed.
P0SlES FOR SICK PEOPLE
Commissioners Have Donated
Money to Buy Seeds.

Seven girls in Wichita, ranging in ages
from 10 Is years, will each have a
/ flower bed this summer and raise flowers
/ for the sick people of the city. At the
! last meeting of the board of county COM
| rlissioners sum was appropriated TO the
Associate Charities for this purpose and
the seeds will be distributed among the
seven little girls and with other seeds
given by the people of this city, will form
the flower beds.
The seven girls selected for this worl,
are members of the Associate Charities,
of which Mrs. Couch is secretary. She
asked these girls if they had a small
plot of ground unused and that was suit
able for a flower bed Each of the girls
was able to secure some ground and each
one is eager to begin the work. They
will plant the seeds and take care of
the beds under the direction of Mrs
Couch.
These seven girls, who are among the
Oldest of the sewing class, are called
the flower committee and each will have
a charity flower bed. Seeds Of the most
beautiful and fragrant posies will be
provided each and the seven girls Will
have the distribution o. the flowers IN
der the direction of the secretary. They
will take the flowers to the sick room
themselves and it is intended that every
person during the summer who is on the
sick list of the Associated Charities shall
have at least one boquet of flowers each
week, and if possible, a boquet every
day.
Few persons appreciate what hand
some and welcome remembrance a boQuet
of flowers is in a sick room. Some doc
tors forbid flowers in a sick room in
certain cases. but these instances are
very rare. There is something cheering
about boquet. however small. that
brightens a sick one and ever afterward
the giver is sure of a warm spot in the
heart of the recipient. A few flowers in
a vase gives room a CHEEKY appearance
and is bright spot in the life of the
man. woman or child forced to remain
in that room day after day.
One day last week, woman gave
Mrs. Couch some flowers to take to
sick boy. The lad had consumption and
Mrs Couch sat by the bedside and held
the mowers ana the poor boy SITOheu
each blossom, leaf and stalk. His wasted
hands were not even strong enough to
hold the boquet, but for many minutes
he touched the flowers, saying something
about each one. AS. Mrs. Couch entered
the room, the lads face frightened when
he saw the flowers This boy has not
long to live. He will never seen the wild
flowers bloom again and each day d small
boquet is placed in the room. The small
gift was appreciated to its fullest ex-
tent.
Seven girls will have flower beds for
this work alone this summer, and en-
couragement can be freely given and
little aid here and there will make many
a sick room brighter through the efforts
CT these children than it otherwise would
be

Advertising Columns Interesting.

General Ira P. Jones, who was
for many years the very efficient
manager of the Nashville, Tenn
American. was wont to say that the
advertising columns were the most
interesting parts of a newspaper.
He said that they were evidence OF
the thrift, the enterprise, energy
and prosperity of a people; that adj
vertisers are men who are
too busy to mind anybody else's
business and tina advertisements
told buyers where to go for what
they wished, thus being great eco1c-
mixers of time as we'll as savers of
money. He added that men who
were away from home for years
could learn through the advertise
ments In their home papers who OF
their former friends were alive and
kicking.

The Kohala ditch question is up
again, and it is warm baby this
time. There are claims of promises
made by the Governor and the acting
Governor. The former are repudiated
by the Governor. AS far as the action
Of the executive council is concerned,
the advice of that body has, if reported
correctly, been to put up the privilege
at auction, and 1t has never acquiesced
in any promises. Were the privilege
not so very important, and did it not
involve so much, there would not be
this keen fight in the executive cham
Der. If any promises have been made,
it is very clear now that they should
not have been made.

We have probably heard the last Of
the America cup races for some time
to- come. Yachting is an expensive
amusement and challenging for the
America Cup is one of the most ex-
pensive forms of it. Sir Thomas Lip
ton deserves the highest credit for his
sportsman like behavior throughout
the three contests, and though he has
failed to win the trophy, he has per
haps Won something higher, the esteem
and respect of two worlds for being
true sportsman and what naturally
follows, a good loser. Sir Thomas has
set a distinct standard of behavior
which must always be lived up to by
men who claim to be sportsmen.

Through the Glass.

The best way to find out whether an
apple Is sound at the core, is to cut It
open.
And 1T Is the same with everything.
To f1nd out how thing is constructed
1t must be taken apart, wheel by wheel
lever by lever. Each screw, bolt and
nut must be safely put aside. Nothing
can be lost that is necessary to COM
plete the perfect whole.
Often times useful thing is so sim
pie in its construction, and its parts SO
few that to take it down seems useless.
Thi sis the case with the Douglas Tank.
But to show its mechanism e. R. Bath
has caused to be made and installed a
beautiful, glass tank and it is on dis
play in his windows at 165 King street.
The inspection of the public is res
pectfully invited.

Bulgaria's attitude with regard to
Turkey and the Macedonian revolt is
not meeting with the appreciation Of
the powers. Russia, AustEia and Eng
land seem to By at one in their esfiniAt e
of the situation. The threat that HAS
been made of numbering foreign repre-
sentatives in order to cali in foreign
intervention is bearing very different
fruit from what the Bulgarians and
Macedonians imagined, but it served
to show what kind of a people they
Were.

The Builders and Traders exchange
in its declared policy is clear upon the
question of a restricted Chinese immi-

endorsed by the exchange upon this

makes 1t a very valuable document and
one which should have influence upon
congress, If Congress cares to give it's
attention to the subject.

Life.

The life of man is less than a
Death at the end.
A long life is not so much to be de-
sired as a good life.
Life has less of awe than Death,
but it is not so restful.
We live in deeds, not in days.
When we marry, life takes on a
great purchase; we may win out or
fall under the mortgage.
Life is but footpath to the grave.
There could be no life in it's truest
significance without death.
Let your life be such that death
shall have no terror for you.
Many life is unpleasant because
of a failure to diagnose biliousness.
No man has right to shorten his
life by making it excessively happy in
its brevity.
Life is a time between morning
and evening" Trim the light Of your
soul that darkness may not overtake
you.
The grandest thing in life is to
have a great heart that bids the
hands succor the weak and the
weary.
A man may live with many but he
must die alone.
Life is made up Of time and little
brief authority. Do not waste the
one or abuse the other

Death of the office dog is a warn
ing to change foremen.
A drink taken on Friday is sure
sign of belated issue.
Calling the town loafer a bully
means the editor has gone fishing.
Speaking of "our prominent citizen,
Mr.. SpOozenwooZen," is equal to a
confession of 81 on subscription.
A lost shooting stick means there
will be coin (quoin) squeeze.
A load of wood stopping in front
of the sanctum door means a dormant
fuel market up town.
A patch on the editors trousers is a
sure sign that another good ditch
digger has gone wrong.
Stealing these superstitions without
credit, is incontrovertible evidence Of
the approach of large bunch of obit-
uary poetry. Wise editors will be
warned in time.

Bend downward to the mirror
Rejecting in it's sheen.
Bold squirrels chatter gayly
In toW'ring trees that sweep
Their shades upon the surface,
To tremble DER the deep.
Gay butterflies are Winging
Their airy, maynard flight,
While zephyrs kiss the daisies
That glisten in the light.
Down by the ford the waters,
Against each vagrant stone,
Are wrangling in the sunshine
And dashing into foam!
And here, in sunny weather,
The loved and lovers come
To blend their songs of passion
With Natures rhythmic hum.
Oft in the days now olden,
I dreamed beneath the shade,
Within a magic thralldom
BY fairy fancieS made.
King was I then of Hope Land,
The valley r-Cs r"y own;
Upon a stump L gloried,
And golden was my throne.
But Fate with sword has levelled
My kingdom to the earth
Deposed me in the reck' ming
To more plebeian berth.
The river now is sordid
And cattle mar it's pools,
While frog-choirs in the shadows
Hold nightly singing schools.
There are no soaring tree tops,
No birds with plumage bright,
The daisies cen are faded
And cherries to the sight.
The film of time has settled
Upon the youthful eye,
While cares bedim the vision
And temper with sigh.
But still is left the mem'ry,
In sterner days of quest,
Of that fair, winding river
Utopia, the blest!

An Editors Superstitions.


Seeing the bill collector over the
left shoulder means a stringency in
the money market.
A yelloW-legged chicken in the
waste basket is the sign of a new sub
scriber.
Joshing with a red-haired girl-typo
means a (white) "hoss" on the editor
if his wife sees him.
When the devil drops the office
towel, the town bore is coming in
after more of the EDITORS fragrant"
tobacco. This is a sure sign as he
comes anyhow four times a day.
A black cat crossing the editors
path at midnight is a ii! to remove
shoes before entering Home, sweet

Dropping a form is significant of
