terribly, that I don't believe the tree ever got the better of it.
 The next morning the old gentleman finding cut what had befallen his tree, which by the way. was great favorite, came into the house: and with much warmth asked for the mischievous au- thor, declaring at the same time, that he would not have taken five guineas for his tree. Nobody could tell him anything about it.
 Presently George and his hatchet made their appearance. George" said his father do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree wonder in the garden?''
 This was tough question and George staggered under it for moment; but quickly recovered himself; and looking at his father with the sweet face of youth frightened with the inexpressible charm of all-conquered truth, he brave ly cried out. T can't tell lie. | did it With my hateifet. ,
 Run to my arms, you dearest boy. 5 cried his father in transports. run to my arms; glad am [, George, that you killed my tree, for you have paid me for lit 3 thousandfold.

Through the blaekness he wanders. with one lantern to guide him, and, after much respair, feels his feet get at last on a rough stone causeway that leads up over soft grass 10 the wall of the precinct He passes beneath tottering gateway, and up steepening road through a woodland that can be divined in the darkness only by the whispering of its bougils. At length the abbey lies long and low before him. He knocks at the great door, and after a pause the white robed monks troop out to welcome him, followed by the abbot They lead the wanderer through their buildings into the eloister. where. beneath it's arcade, he eats what food he has. while the brothers stand round and watch with benevolent, foolish smiles. Then he is led again through dim refectories. where great bowls of wrought brass glimmer in the freight. to the guest chambers. These are tiny bare rooms of stone. without bed or bedding. But here the weary traveller is allowed free ly to sleep as he can. wrapped in his own rugs. And no difference is made whether the wanderer be of the honored or the rejected sex.

THE RATCHET STORY.
As Told in the Rev MT. Weems' Life of Washington.

As Told in the Rev. MT. Weems' Life
 of Washington.
 The cherished hatchet story, useful to American parents in impressing upon their children the irresistible veracity of the Father of His Country, is found in a rare old volume on the shelves of the Congressional library, entitled. "The Life of George Washington; with Curious Anecdotes, Equally Honorable to Himself and Exemplary to His Young Countrymen. By M. l.. Weens, Formerly Rector of Mount Vernon Parish, 1S0S." In this quant history the author begins with the boyhood of the future first president of the republic, and tells for the first time in print the tale as related to him some years before by ''an aged lady who was a distant re- lative, and when a girl spent much of her time in the family" It is, he adds, too valuable to be lost, and too true to be doubted" The story as it is printed in this old book, is as follows, punctua- tim ct literatim:
 When George was about six years old he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet! of which, like most boys, he was immoderately fond; and was con stantiy going about ehopping every thing that came in his way.
 One day in the garden where he often amused himself hacking his mothers pea-sticks he unluckily tried the edge of his hatchet on the body of beautiful English cherry tree, which he parked so

Grocers' Association Wants
License Collectors Scalp.
Ha sn't Been Going After Huck
sters Hard Enough.
THERE ARE OTHERS
THERE ARE OTHERS
Also Charge Him With Letting
Expressmen Go.
Mayor Turns to Good Record
Made by Mr.. Page.

| Mayor Bergundthal has been waited
on by delegation representing the
| Topeka Retail Grocers' association,
who were after the scalp of License
Collector Page. They wanted Mayor
Bergundthal to throw Page out of his
position on the ground that he had
neglected to perform the duties of
his office.
The trouble was that License Col
lector Page has not been getting af-
ter the vegetable hucksters quite hard
enough to suit the grocers. 1t is the
outgrowth of the bitter war which
began two years ago, in which the
grocers imposed a license tax which
the hucksters thought was prohibitive
The representatives of the grocers
association made the charge against
Mr. Page that he had collected IL
censes from only six or eight buck
STEERS, while there are, they alleged,
about fifty hucksters doing business
in vegetables from wagons.
Opposition to Page was based not
only on his failure to collect from
the hucksters, but on his failure to
enforce the license against express
wagons. 1t was alleged that he had
collected from only a very small por-
ton of the express wagons working
in the city. In general the impression
was given out that Mr.. Page was fail
ing to do his work as he is paid to
do. and that for this reason the mayor
should ask Mr.. Pages resignation.
Today when given an opportunity
to state his side of the case, Mr.. Page
said:
I knew that the grocers' associa-
ton had made its talk to Mayor Ber-
gundthal. and that it is trying to stir
up a fight on me. / want people to
look at my record and see whether

SMITH IS SURPRISED.
Didn't Mean to Stir Up the Santa Fe
Company.

Senator Fred Dumont Smith says
he had no idea he was starting
things" when he published an editorial
last week in his paper, going after"
the Santa Fe for discriminating
agai inst the Farmers Grain association
of his town, Kinsley, in the matter of
an elevator site

said Senator Smith. THAT editorial
wasn't meant for foreign reproduce
ton. Whenever I print an editorial
designed purely for home consumption
you newspaper fellows down here at
Topeka are sure to take it up. only
wanted to give the Santa Fe people a
tip about how the people feel out
there As a matter of fact the farm
ers are uo in arms about the matter,
and the best thing the Santa Fe peo-
pie can do is to keep STILL"
Senator Smith has a scheme to aid
in preventing floods. He would have
law declaring bridges over the kaw
others with narrow or low arches,
nuisances, and compelling people who
design bridges to submit the plans to
some competent authority for APP
prevail He would also prevent en-.
croachments on the original bed of
the rivers by private persons or cor
porationS.
"Under the laws the original bed
of the Kaw and Arkansas rivers be-
long to the state" said Senator Smith.
mo one has any right to them, and
when a railroad company or any one
else makes a fill in the river bed it is
simply taking state property. That

have filled in a river bed should be

lit ought to be against the law also
to build a pile bridge in either of these
streams We ought to have a law
that persons who are going
to build bridges across either of these
rivers should submit their plans to
some competent authority who should
see that the bridge is sufficiently high
and the piers wide enough apart to
prevent damming up the water There
are any number of such dams along

ers Put Up Money.
County Would Be Reimbursed
After Election Is Held.

A business mems mass meeting has
been called to meet at Lukens' opera
house, in North Topeka. Friday night
to discuss the question of dykes for the
protection of the North side against
floods.
The meeting, while termed for bust
ness men, is for everyone interested in
dykes and as the meeting will be held
in a spacious hall there will be room
for a mammoth meeting.
After the flood of 1903 there was lit
tie agitation on the North side for
dykes as it was not thought that the
flood would be repeated. Now that a
second, although lesser. flood has done
damage in North Topeka and kept the
people there is a fear for several days
the business men especially are deter
mined to keep up the agitation for a
system of dykes until something is done
Immediately and before another year
and possibly another flood comes.
The plan now proposed is that the
business men who are the most direct
ly interested in the protection of North
Topeka make up a guarantee that the
payment for such dykes as shall be
built will be forthcoming. No bonds
can be voted and no money raised by
the city the county for dykes until
the legislature passes an enabling act
authorizing such work to be carried out
and the funds raised. The legislature
does not meet until next year. The
dykes should be built at once. The
plan proposed is for the board of coun-
ty commissioners to appropriate the
money for the building of the dykes.
The business men will make a guaran-
tee that this money will be refunded
to the county. Then at the session of
the legislature beginning next January
an enabling act will be introduced in
the legislature. There is no question
but the legislature would pass such an
act. Then the proposition to vote bonds
for the building of dykes can be sub
mitted and when voted the county
funds advanced by the board of COM
