I cried and sobbed as If my heart would break Back doors opened inquiringly and clos ed heartlessly Finally they let 1t down few feet. Just as I was growing hopeful they raised 1t again and left 1t midway between two flats. Then they gave 1t a vicious jerk and brought it down few feet more. 1t was dreadful They let 1t down and then jerked 1t up and let 1t down in zig-zag fashion They were deaf as post to my cries.

NEGRO NEIGHBOR
 FOR HOCH
KANSAS GOVERNORS LEANINGS
 STIR TOPEkA'S "4OO."
Jayhawkers Declare It an Outrage That Black Man Shall Live Next Door to the Executive
 Mansion.

Topeka, Kas.. Special.
 Governor Hoch's chickens are corn- ing home to roOst. Last winter Book CT T. Washington came here to lec- ture. While here Governor Hoch es- corted him to Representative hall, arm in arm, and introduced him to the Leg islature as "one of the greatest men of the time" Later Hoch appeared at the Kansas Day Club banquet and sat beside and dined with W. T. Vernon. the noted negro orator.
 The Kansas Day Club is a Republi. can organization, and numerous party leaders refused to participate in the banquet because its officers had invited a negro to make the principal speech. Today Nick Chiles, leading negro ed- itor of Kansas. bought home next to the executive mansion and will be . neighbor of Governor Hoch. Chiles says he will be a good neighbor, and expects to be on friendly terms with the Governor.
 Governor Hoch and I will exchange hot biscuits" said Chiles tonight.
 TOpeka's 400" is Stirred.
 This affair has greatly stirred To- peka's 400" They say it is an out rage that a negro shall live next to the Governors residence The Repub- licans who would not sit at the ban- quet with the negro are not writing to Governor Hoch congratulating him on the acquisition of so good neigh bor. c. w. Mosher writes from Wichita: s---..s-
 Being one of your ardent admirers before you became Governor, and hav- ing voted for you. I feel kind of per- sonal interest in you. For that reason I desire to extend my congratulation on your acquisition of your new neigh bor, MT. Nicholas Chiles. 1 am sure you will warm up to him and his, even more than you and Dan Valentine did to the other negro, W. T. Vernon. at the Kansas Day Club banquet, and to that other distinguished colored gen. tleman, Booker Washington.
 You may have another opportunity to show your broad mndedness in set ting a noble example by mixing and mingling with negroes. If in so do- ing you fail to elevate the negro you may in measure succeed in lowering the white man to his level, which will please the black voter just as well.
 Don't be discouraged, because the step you and Valentine, and Roosevelt have taken is not a long one. It Is In the right direction. and if ever you would put forth an equal effort it would be but a brief period until white buxom negro women as wives.
 You now have the opportunity as Governor to hit the bulls eye and ring the bell and at the same time prove that you really and truly love the nig- ger for his own dear sweet self alone and not for his vote"

| to stand by Its own, as 1t is their posi-.
 tive duty. If they do not, who shaii' |, Another consideration is pertinent 1 Is 1t right that an entire family, broth. | CTS and sisters. children not yet grown l and children yet unborn. shall suffer because of the family effort to defend the one child who has been false to the family ideal? This is not an iso- | lated instance. The hand of the black sheep sometimes casts an indelible stain and shadow on the rest of the household. Sacrifices are made for him which are manifestly unjust. and | rather than face passing reproach a whole family may be impoverished in a futile endeavor to protect his name
 and make restitution for his dishon- esty.
 In common with many other human problems this one bristles with difti- culty. Where is the solution? There can be none that will adequately fit every different phase of trouble. there can be none that will satisfy all minds. In the end most of us have to meet living trouble with such courage and teeth and facing the worst, yet forever hoping for the best. Our greatest dan
 ger is that we may drift into pessi-
 mism. No human soul is wholly repro
 bate. No one ever drifts too far away for love to bring him back. If there be anyone in the family, in the com munity or the environment where the black sheep finds himself. who has at once a genius for pity and a genius for hope. the man or the woman may be rescued
 The case is more distressing when the black sheep is a woman than when 1t Is a man who has gone astray. So- ciety and the home demand of woman an unquestioned purity. a stainless honor and an impeccable virtue. It is right that this demand should be made of woman. for on her rests the fabric of civilization as 1t can never rest on man. The integrity of the family is in woman's hands. If a girl wander from the right path, 1t Is harder to reclaim her, and the consequences are more ter rible far-reaching than in the case of her brother. Yet even for her there should be pardon and the plotting out of the past.
 In one of Ian MacLaren's exquisite Scottish tales, there is the story of a daughter who had been driven from her home by the harshness and lack of sympathy of a stern father. The day comes when, broken in health, with the utmost timidity, the homesick child creeps back to the door of her old home. Her fathers love goes out to meet her. She is taken in and cared for and shows what true love Is. as she had never known 1t. There will be fifty words in the Gaelic for darling" she says. and my father will be call ing me by them all"
 In the beautiful parable of the Prod igal Son, the father explains to the angry elder brother: Tt was meet that we should make merry and be glad, for this. thy brother. was dead, and Is alive again; was lost, and is found"
 This is loves eternal attitude toward the penitent black sheep.

THE EATING OF THE APPLE
BY PAUL BLAKE.

Copyright, 1905. by Daily Story Pub. Co)
 Hand in hand they walked down to the edge of the great world into which he was going: walked through the clover and the daisies, across the little foot-bridge over the sparkling creek. through the old apple orchard, over the stile, down the dusty road. up the broad walk right to the two great iron rails which marked the omega of the old life and the alpha of the new. As they walked they talked earnestly. He was all enthusiasm. courage. purpose. eager to try the metal of his blade with out wonder. She was brave, patient, hope full, hiding with woma9ly instinct her grief at the parting in order to further encourage and cheer him on.
 They were but children-Calvn was IS and Mattie l6-but all their lives they had been lovers and this was the first parting. Calvin was going out to carve a place for himself in the great world and to make a home to which Matte was to come. Opportunities were too limited In the country and Calvin was going out to hurry matters. An the plans they laid and the castles they buildej during that last walk. Then came the whistle of the train. the last words of farewell, the last squeeze of the hands and the last look into each others eyes-his flashing with anticipa- tiop. hers bravely keeping back the tears.
 Ten years later a single figure walked down the same path to the edge of the great world walked the same path through the clover and daisies. across the same foot bridge. over the same sparkling creek, through the same old apple orchard. over the same stile. down the same dusty road. up the same broad walk and right to the same iron rails. It was the figure of a woman and she walked with a defiant step and held her head rather too high. Her face showed traces of suffering, but her expression courted no sympathy. All the soft lines of the girl of sixteen were gone and all the sweetness and joy of a | decade ago had fled.
 | It was the same girl who had walked | to the eslge of the world with the boy and | she still was beautiful and attractive, but not soft and clinging. For the boy had l never come back All his vows had been ! fnrRntten The great world had swallowed

Miss Mcdonald and Mr.. Griffin, both of
whom have given entire satisfaction to

predicted by the conservative element
here that the Reinstatement above re-
ferred to would take place after the Su
perinteDdent became aware of the excel.
lent service the patrons of the Citizens
Telephone have been enjoying, and that
change could not bet eft any of the
patrons. Mr.. Griffin came here when
there were less than seventy.tive phones

HARD, and has succeeded in swelling his
list to almost, if not quite, one hundred

highly pleased at having MI. Griffin and

Mr. ". H. LONG
Gets LOST.
WIFE AND DAU G II T E r
HEAD SEARCHING
PARTY.
HORSE COMES HOME WITHOUT RIDER.

Shorty after dark Monday evening
the family of Mr.. W. Il. Long was eud
denly plunged in deep distress over the
return of the horse and four dogs, which
were with Mr.. w. q. Long in the morn
ing when he left home in his buggy fol-
few days hunt near the Gum Springs
mile or so from Col J. B. Bond g homt
near CrestView.
The first anxiety was felt when the
horse, with four dogs, came into Terry
about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, the
saddle properly on the horse and bride
reins over his neck, and with no rider.
The horse was identified as that of Mr.
w. II. Long, and was brought home,
whereupon his wife and daughter, Mrs.
Wall, headed searching party of TWEEN
ty five or thirty people, who sprsng into
saddles and vehicles and made with all
speed 20 the place where Mr.. Long was
supposed to have been hunting that day.
Some horses were more fleet than othe rs,
and they we're backed by Messrs, j. T..
Jenkins, W. NJ. Griffin and Ed Kend.e,
who were first to reach the hunting
grounds.
There was a great ehout for joy when
the party was hailed from distance by
Mr.. Long himself, who saw the lights of
the searching party.
Mr.. Long had been to the Gum Spring
many times, and knows the country ike
a book, but after reaching the grounds
he unhitched from his buggy and sad
died his horse, ano hogan his hunt. In
a short while he became deathly sick,
got eff his horse and laid down, and
while in this helpless condition his horse
and dogs strayed off tor home. When
he was able to 60 it was nearly dark,
and having lost his bearing, he wander
ed about he knew not where, when he
saw the lights of the searching PARTY.
At the time he was not far from the
road, and was less than three hundred
yards from the home of Mr.. Robt. Carr,
at the top OF the hill, on the main Sum
mertown road.
The searching party, as it passed
through Terry, was greatly re-enl creed,
and on their return several others were
met, who we're on their way to aid in
the search so that there we're probably
over fifty men who were in the return
party. Mr.. Long is one of Mt. Pleas
ants most valuable citizens; is CAPT
talist, prominent in business circles,
and gave to Hay Long College the land
on which the building stands, which
bears his name There is not person
10 the city who does not greatly rejoice
that he is safely returned to his home
and family The buggy and gun were
left in the woods, but they were secured

BURGLAR FOND CT FLOWERS
The Luxurious Taste of a House.
breaker Betrays Him to
the Police.

A recent English robbery case, which
reads almost like one of the Sherlock
Holmes stories, related to the detec.
ton Of thief through his fondness
for flowers.
The only clew left by the robbeI
of a house near Northampton was o
fragment of a flower, whose petals
were scattered over the floor No
flowers of the same sort were grown
in the garden of the house robbed OF
by the neighbors, but an investigation
of he florist shops in the nearby
town showed that flower of that sort
had been purchased the evening be.
fore by a man who was recognized
from the description given to be
well-known burglar
At the trial it was shown that, al
though the night had been warm, the
thief, who was of delicate health, had
worn lig:.t over oat, which crashed
the petals of the flower beneath, and
these had fallen 10 the carpet when he
had opened his coat tc SLOW away the
jewels, which constituted the greater
part Of the spoils
Although the clew was a slight one
it was correct, and the luxury loving
crook will have no need of flowers
to decorate his broad arrow suit for
some time to come.

Eyes 5000 Years Old

Eight thousand years is a good age
Tor a pair of human eyes to last An
Psychologist claims to have discovered
these ancient orbs in mummifed re.
mains at Girgeh, Upper Egypt. The
professor found a series of graves
which, he declares, extend over an in.
interval of at least 5000 years, repre-.
senting the most archaic of prehistoric
periods. The bodies, owing to the
dryness of the climate, and perhaps
the excellence of the methods employed
in embalming, are in surprising state
of preservation, and in two cases the
eyes remain so perfect that the lenses
are in good condition.
