He made himself generally useful, Of.
fering to sing in the choir, teach Sunday
school, act as usher, or do anything that
would help the good cause along. He was
finally asked to serve in the capacity Of
usher, which he did with great alacrity.
AS he passed the collection box the
minister noticed that he handed each per-
son a slip of white paper. At first the
minister supposed they were the en-.
velopes in which the money for specified
purposes is usually inclosed, but after a
few Sundays of assiduous work on the
part Of the usher, the minister decided to
investigate.
He discovered that the young man was
a struggling young dentist, and was hand

the Brigand was a yellow cat. The de-

monstrous tall, with fierce whiskers, a

stout cord and tightly they tied it
about the cats neck. Its yellow hair
glistened in the moonlight and the cat
playfully paved at the string as it was

The Time of His Life.

IFrom the Arkansas City Traveler.]
Treasurer Tom Kelly may have the
fight of his life if he gets Governor.
Hoch thoroughly aroused over his re-
fusal to give bond for $3.50, 600. The
governor rather enjoys a little fight
himself and has many and effective
weapons at his command. The gov
errors position is sound and sensible.
The state should be protected and
everyone will admit that the bond for
100000, given by a self admitted
bankrupt is not very good
Just to one of the common people 1t
begins to look like that State Treas
urer Tom Kelly is showing the eloven
foot to a pretty good advantage when
he refuses the demand of Governor
Hoch to make his bond good since
part of his bondsmen went under. The
Republicans of Kansas can now see
plainly that Tom Kelly should never
have been renominated for state treas
urer. 1t is more than likely the state
will never realize the full amount
Kelly had Devlin's bank, which was
over 100000. 1t is also claimed now
that the bond company that carried a
portion of his bond is a new one and
it is possible that it will not make the
states money good. Kelly and Bur
ton are of the same stripe. Neither
should have ever been elected to office.

there is but little doubt that they had

ter. But the people of the state need
have no fear that DayEoff and Burrow

Kelly is in the wrong or has violated the
laws of the state and betrayed the con-
fidence of the people, but because they

selves. They are rabbits. 1t is the
governor to whom the people of Kansas
must look in the present crisis. Cover
nor Hoch is honest, he is true to the
people and their interests and if he
acts with decision and regardless of
those who would be glad to see him po-
litically wrecked the people will stand
by him.
