The people of this country are just
beginning to appreciate to the full the
horrors of the recent disaster in New
York harbor whereby nearly thous-
and people lost their lives by the
burning ofthe steamer General Slo-
cum. This horrible catastrophe is
another crime of the same class as the
IrOquois disaster in Chicago and is
directly chargeable to politics. Mu-
nicipal officers fail to do their duty in
an effort to save few dollars for
some friend and the lives of the peo-
pie are jeopardised. Cases like these
make US all think that the Chinese
system has merit. In that country
every negligent official who by failure
to do his duty contributed to the crime
would be beheaded. A few examples
Of this kind would convince Office
holders of our cities that the lives of
the people are more important than
the question of who shall ell the
Offices.

From Frisco to New York.

A man by the name of Harmon
camped on the outskirts of this city
last Saturday evening. He was walk
ing from San Francisco to New York
taking notes by the way, intending to
publish a book after his journey is
completed. He started February 8
with three cents in his pocket and is
supporting himself on the way by sell
ling photographs. He must have
picked up some on the way for when
he reached here he had a caravan
made up of a small cart drawn by
four burros, with two baby burros in
attendance with driver on the box
seat. Harmon claimed to be news

Commercial Club at Larned.

The citizens of Larned have made a
move in the right direction in organ
izing commercial club. The best
interests of any city are promoted by
organized effort and a commercial
club furnishes an organized body
ready at any time to take up and push
the things in which the city is interest
ed. We have several times suggested
the idea of such a move in this city
but it has never met with a response.
Possibly it was too soon, but the time
is certainly close at hand when some
thing of the kind should be done.

The war news for the past week has
been of unusual interest. The Rus
sian fleet left Vladivostock and raid
ed down the coast and succeeded in
destroying number of Japanese
transports and other vessels, and aid
ed by stormy weather made their re-
turn in safety. The land fighting has
been all in favor of the Japs. A big
Russian army which started south for
the purpose of relieving Port Arthur
is almost surrounded and heavy fight
ing is in progress with the prObabili-
ties in favor of its being wiped out.
If the Japs succeeded in doing this,
the Russians may be found hunting
the good offices of some friendly ma
ton in the effort TO stop the war.

pull about twenty-five young people

His Artistic
Instinct

1t would not be quite fair to Floyd
to say that she had rehearsed the
scene, but certainly she had planned
1t very carefully beforehand. 1t is
even possible that she had fine
sense of its dramatic possibilities. for
d woman can indulge her theatrical
instincts when her heart is breaking.
Moreover, she did not mean him to
know that she cared. But even IL it
were quite true that he had ceased to
love her. she had fancied that in the
moment Of losing her he would care.
And this was the crucial moment,
when she held out to him the ring
the ring whose sweet significance she
hid hidden from her friends. that the
secret of their love might lie between
her heart and his.
He took the little symbol quietly.
His face was white, but that was
from anger, she thought.
you are sure you know what you
are saying, Floyd?" he asked quietly.
II quite understand" she said, the
fingers OF her pride gripping the sobs
In her throat. And am not blaming
you in the least. You would not be
the artist you are IL you did not
love beauty. And II you should marry
q woman who was not beautiful, 1t
would not be your fault il you re-
pented it. But it would be your fault
and hers-if you married her. We
will not make that mistake, you and
l."
81 had thought" he retorted sharp
1y, that you were above being jeal-
Gus Of another woman's face" There
was disappointment in his voice
that hurt her, even while she flushed
angrily under the insult.
You may call it that II you like"
she replied. ut is not because you
have painted her portrait. am above
being jealous Of your models; but
am tired of hearing you praise her
that is all; tired of seeing you look at
her from the moment she enters a
room until she leaves it tired of sit
ting by while you sketch her, and be-
ing asked to admire her eyelashes and
the curve of her chin. I am tired of
all this-I who am not a beauty, who
can in no way appeal to your artistic
instincts"
81 did not want you for a model"
he began.
mo, you have shown me that often
enough"
"And 1 have told you that 1 am not
at all in love with Miss Erwin, and
that am very much in love with
you. But 1 can't promise that when
marry you 1 shall close my eyes
thenceforth to beauty in women. I
shall always admire a pretty woman"

Roosevelt and Fairbanks

The republican national convention
in Chicago this week is now a matter
of history. The opposition to Roose-
Welt bowed to the overwhelming senti-
ment in his favor and kept out of
sight. He was nominated by accla-
nary contest for the nomination for
vice president but before the nomina-
ton was made SO many delegations
had adopted resolutions in favor of
Fairbanks, of Indiana, that he was
nominated without opposition. Sem
ator Smith, of this city, was named
by the Kansas delegation for a posi-
ton on the committee on resolutions
and had hand in shaping the des-
TIMES of the nation. The reports
from the convention city show that the
Kansas delegation was active, the
leaders being Attorney Low, of the
Rock Island railroad, and Attorney
Richards, of the Missouri Pacific:
When the destinies of a great pOliti-
cal party are committed to the care
of the railroad attorneys of the coun-
try things ought to run smoothly.
The reciprocity plank in the platform
got in by a narrow margin as many
of the members of the platform COM
mittee were opposed to it for fear it
might work an injury to some pro-
tacted interests

You did it," Russell said, flinching
a little. .And she found it this after
noon.
He bore Lespard's stare heroically.
"Well-that was skilful of you, old
man." Leopard said at length. Poor
little thing, she was jealous of Miss
Erwin. So this is the explanation OF
the truce!"

ly. He set his mouth hard as he laid
the water color before his friend. who
regarded it critically.
by Jove, old man, that's good!"
he said. That's a fine color scheme.

Yes, you did-the night you first
met her: and you remembered 1t and
painted 1t. You see, have to recall

Leopard was silent for long time.
At last he laid the picture gently
down. .'And she didn't notice the
name on the covert" he asked most
tenderly.
No. replied Russell quietly. She
didn't look for the name on the cover"

the room and put a tiny sketch book
