Elijah was raised up and set before the people for the express purpose of recovering the people from idolatry.

TOM McNEAL GETS 1T.

1t is announced from Topeka
that our former townsman, Hon. T..
A. McNeai, was last week appoint
ed secretary to Gov. Hoch. The
job pays 100000 per year. Tom
also has his eye on the state print
ership and if he lands he will re-
sign the secretaryship and give
some other patriot chance.
Since there is no chance for a
democrat in Kansas to get any of
the snaps, we are glad 10 see Bar
Der county men and ex-Barberites
get their feet under the table.
Down this way $1,000 job looks
big and they all envy Tom.

PEACE ON EARTH.

The birthday of the Christ and
Savior was impressively observed in
Medicine Lodge. There were beau
tiful Christmas trees at the Baptist,
Christian, Methodist, Episcopal and
Presbyterian churches and if there
is a little heart in the city that was
not made happy its name has not
been made known. Christmas tide
is the grandest period in the year
for both young and old, and at
each anniversary Of the birth of
Jesus of Nazereth we are all won't
to lay aside our business cares and
enter into social communion with
one another. If it were not for
the blessed holidays possibly many
Of us would forget the sacred prin-
ciple of love and good will among
men. We cannot understand all
of the things of the wide Universe,
but there is no human heart so
depraved but that does not in some
way give vent to his gratitude for
the blessings the human race enjoy.

A FIRE SIGNAL.

There was a little excitement On
the streets yesterday morning and
hard run with the hose cart on
account OF a phone that in. Tinch-
er's house was on fire, but when
the crowd got to the house there
was little indication of damage.
1t is stated by some that fire had
started at the flue of the kitchen
roof while others say it was merely
burning of SCOT. Whatever it was,
there was no harm in sounding the
alarm. 1t was a bad morning for
a fire and if one had started, sever
al other residences on Walnut
street would have been greatly en-
dangered.
This was the quickest response
to fire alarm that we can recall.

A Disadvantage Of pi.sension.

William Waldorf Astor, before he
set out for his English home, said,
apropos of the Russo-Japanese war:
Nations engaged in war not only
harm each other. but they lay them
selves open to harm at the hands of
all sorts Of other nations.
''In fact, two nations at war are in
the defenseless and gull BILE position
of certain English married couple.
This couple will fall out and cease
to speak to one another for year or
more alta time. They have a beauti-
full country house, and there is GER
tain elderly matrou, great bore, who
visits them continually.
Some one asked this matron which
of the pair was always inviting her.
She answered frankly:
Neither invites me ever, but since
they don't speak to each other, each
always thinks I'm the others guest"

RECIPE FOR FRUIT PUNCH.
Delicious and Also Strictly Temper.
ance Drink.

The hostess who is a strict prohi-
bitionist is sometimes at a loss for
good drinks to serve at her afternoon
reception. Tea and chocolate are so
commonplace that she is not to be
blamed if she does cast her eyes long
ingly at the punch recipes and wish
her principles were not quite SO strict.
However, there is nothing more intox-
icatinGly delicious, in the perfectly
proper use of the term, than fruit
punch.
To make this consoling temperance
beverage put one pound each of rasp.
berries and currants into bowl.
Mash them to pulp, add four quarts
of water and let the mixture stand
covered for two or three hours. Boil
four cups each of granulated sugar
and water, dropping in bit of lemon
rind. Ten minutes, boiling is long
enough, When cold add the juice Of
eight lemons and six oranges. Strain
both mixtures and pour them together
To give it smartness add one pound Of
candied cherries and a quart OF finely
cracked ice.
Not the most enthusiastic member
OF the white ribbon society could OBJ
1ect to this; In fact, even a topper
would enjoy cup of it. Besides it
gives you a chance to use your new
punch bowl, and you have no idea
what pretty showing the drink
makes.

The pest of field mice has been
growing in some of the rural districts
OF France until it has reached such
stage that the government has taken
action, and novel and highly scien-
tif1c method Of killing the mice has
been resorted to. Poison was tried
at first but 1t was found that 1t was
eaten, with fatal effect, by domestic
animals as well as the mice.
DR.. Danysz Of the Pasteur institute
made some experiments with mi
crobes which are fatal to mice, some
years ago, and discovered a bug which
kills them, but is not fatal to domes-
tic animals. The government has TAX
en- this up and appropriated a good
sized sum of money to distribute cul-
lures of this microbe throughout the
infested district
The cultures will be sent into the
country. where a small quantity of
salt water will be mixed with them.
and then oats soaked in the LIQUID.
This grain will be distributed in the

thus scattered spreads rapidly and 95
per cent die within ten days.
