which we are now suffering is probably
a blessing in disguise. 1t will certainly
prove to be such if we learn the lesson
that it plainly teaches. The river is
very slightly responsible for this flood.
AS high as it was the Melan bridge met
it's requirements and the same is al
most true of the river banks. The wa
ter that this time flooded three-fourths
of North Topeka from six to eight or
ten feet all came from the little con-
temptible Soldier creek. North Topeka
may feel that it has been kicked by
mule. If that is a delightful and hon
orable sensation we will doubtless go
on making attempts to curb the beastly
brute, but continue to tickle its hind
legs, that we may get more of it. If
we are not fond of such humiliation we
may do a little dyking and so keep the
thing within its proper limits. With

Mr.. Fulton is a young man, having
but recently attained his thirty-fifth
year and his new position is high
one and carries with it heavy re-
sponsibilities. But he proved his
capabilities in the recent searching in
vestigation to which the postoffice de-
partment was subjected. Mr.. Fulton
was one of the men who dug uD in
formation which led to bringing
Meacham, Tyner. Miller and Barrett
before the courts. He proved to be
one of j L. Bristow's most valuable
men in the airing which the de-
partment received. Lately he has
been stationed at st. Louis as post
office inspector.
Mr.. Fulton took charge at Cincin-
natl two days ago. His wife, who was
formerly Miss Sadie Minney, daughter
of DIR. J. E. Minniey of this city, and
their 4-year-old son John, are still
at ST. Louis, but will join Mr.. Fulton
some time the latter part of July.

Husbands, Note This.

There are few right thinking per-
sons who would deny that business
men ought to confide in their wives,
says the Pittsburg Press.
First of all, woman cannot feel
that her husband has given her his
whole heart when he keeps from her
the whole course of his business life.
No doubt, it is generally done from a
good motive. The husband thinks he
is saving his wife worry and trouble,
but in most cases he is doing the ex-
act opposite, for every wife with right
feeling would gladly lessen her hus-
bands burdens by sharing them.
Nor does sensible woman care for
the left-handed compliment that her
pretty head was not meant to bother
with figures. True marriage Is a true
union In everything where all Is open,
and the griefs and the sorrows of each
are shared by both, and comfort drawn
from the mutual sympathy. A man
who does not confide in his wife de-
liberately shuts himself out from his
chief consolation.

Courtney after he had laughed to his

married the other day. He was the
last one of his set to get married, and
his friends desired TO have a little fun
with him. When Lewis received an
invitation TO a wedding, he invariably
sent mantel clock as a wedding
present. Lewis and his mantel clock
got to be standing joke among his
friends, and 1t was always looked for
ward to, and he never disappointed
them. They were all alike, and the
idea got about that he bought them

NOT ALWAYS WAY TO SUCCESS
Millionaire Lawson Does Not Pin His

Millionaire Lawson Does Not Pin HE
Faith to Economy.
Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston mil
lionaire, believes that 1t is rather
through enterprise and originality
than through economy that financial
success may be attained.
"rhe time is past" he said the other
day, for such economy as used to be
practiced by an old Boston restaura-
teur who recently died.
This old fellow was economical to
excess. but while he pottered about
his kitchen, trying to make one egg do
the work of two, his neighbor across
the way was introducing roof gar
den and mandolin orchestra, and the
economist, | understand, hardly left
enough on his demise to pay his debts.
He was, beyond doubt, an econo-
mist. A couple of plumbers were
working one day In his cellar. 1t was
too dark down there to see, and the
men asked for some light.
"'Well,' said the old fellow, here's
a candle. Make 1t go as far as you
can
lone candle won't do said the
plumbers. 1T won't give us sufficient
light. We must have two
"The old man knit his brows and
thought.
How long, boys, will you be work
ing down there? he said.
"'About fifteen minutes said the
plumbers.
Then said the restaurateur, cut

Their Probable Fate.

1t Is told OF an eccentric and elo-
quent Scottish divine that he once
met couple of his parishioners at the
house of lawyer notorious for his
sharp practice, and of whose honesty
the minister had no great opinion.
Said the lawyer, jocularly but un-
graciously, Doctor, these are men,
bers of your flock. May l ask do you
look upon them as white sheep or
black sheep?"
II don't know" replied the reverend
doctor, drily, whether they are black
or white sheep, but I do know that II
they are long here they are pretty sure
to be feeced."

Charms Of Dusky Belle.
Years ago there came to the Brit
ish colonial governor of Fiji a man in
tattered white suit, a typical beach
comber. After private interview Of
some duration the governor was per-
suaded to put a sailing boat at his bat
tered visitors disposal to take him to
an island which he had named. The
man said he was by right of descent
twentieth Baron Somerville, but he
had settled down with dusky bride
IN Polynesian paradise, was per-
fectly happy and had no desire to take
the status that belonged to him. The
governor was skeptical IL soft-hearted.
The episode passed into the realm OF
the half-forgotten.
News came to this country recently
that Hugh Somerville," eldest son OF
Hugh, rightful twentieth Lord Somer-
VILE, had arrived in Cooktown,
Queensland, from somewhere in the
neighborhood of the Solomon ISLANDS
and was seeking means to enable him
to come TO England and claim the
title. He is described as young man
OF %, tall and handsome and with
complexion bronzed to the tint of cop
per; obviously of partly native de-
scent. but well-mannered and pleas
ant-spoken and fairly we'll educated.
No details of his claim are given.
The Somervilles are a very ancient
family. Thomas de Somerville was a
justiciary of Scotland in the early
days of the fifteen century and was
made peer in 1880. He married the
daughter of Sir Alexander Stewart OF
Darnley. with whom he got the barony
