he was ready to plead to the
charge.
His answer was that he was
ready to plead guilty, and said
that he knew that he had done
wrong. and had resolved to do
better in the future. He asked
the court to be as lenient as pos.
sible in his case.
Judge Brinkerhof talked to
Kearns for some minutes in a
Straightforward manner in which
be referred to his past life. and to
the confession which he had made
since his arrest here, and told him
that in the light Of that confession
that be did not believe it would
be right for him to sh ow him any
leniency, even if it we're in his
power. The Judge went on to
say that any young man who
would deliberately choose the
path that he had, when the world
was sll the time demanding young
mon for good positions, and as the
medical experts had said that he
was sane, and fully capable of
Judging between right and wrong,
that sympathy was out of place.
After lecturing the prisoner for
porbably FIVE minutes or more,
the court announced that it was
the Judgement and sentence of the
court that the prisoner be taken
back to the Barton county Jail
and be there confined until such
e time as the sheriff could make it
convenient to take him to the
state penitentiary at Lansing,
near Leavenworth, and that he
be there confined for not less than
J ten years, nor more than twenty
one years. and be discharged
there,from according to law
Kearns sh owed no particular
emotion at the sentence of the
court, and resumed his seat quiet

of the court rooms. .

B. P. Walker in the Osborne
Farmer: Young man. why don't
you be decentl Why not grow to
manhood with honor and credit
instead OF a stain upon your
characters 1t is just as easy. 1t
is always easier to be n man than
to be q rowdy. Cigarettes and
gambling and whiskey have Lad
many a wrestle with boys long
before you came on this scene and
they have never yet been thrown.
Don't get the idea into your head
that you are going to turn the
trick. If you don't want to be
decent for yourself, be decent for
Others. There is one heart whose
sorrows should appeal to you.
There Is one who has faced every.
thing for your sake; one who has
to bear the cross for your foolish
ness. You don't want your trail
through this world stained with a
mothers tears. The boy who
turns a brazen face to a mother:
grief never gets very far on the
road to happiness. When he gets
a little older you find his nme on
the police docket OF various cities,
and a little later the dark shadows
of stone walls loom up across his
pathway. Without honor. home
or friends. IT'S. a. sad picture
but it. is painted every day j
every town in this broad land.
The pathway of the transrgessor
is one of rocks and thorns. Wher
you bruise your feet the world
will laugh at you just as yor
laughed at your mothers appeals.
There is only one system for a
boy to follow. Be decent. II

The falh Of the wise Men.

Once upon a time there were
two men living in the west end OF
the city Of Great Bend. They
were very friendly. In fact they
were a great deal alike. and sor {
of cbummy, to the extent that
people thought they we're related
in some way, but both prided
themselves that there was no truth
in that statement. They were
rather small of stature, but
thought they could hoe their own
row in most any sort Of an under
taking. They we're taught, as
they thought, the rudiments of
the games Of whist and pitch, and
soon got what the bows on the
street call chesty about their play
ing qualities.
There were also two other men
who were very friendly and close
neighbors, rather large, but not
considered among the best whist
or pitch players. Now it so bap-
pened that one evening not long
ago, when there was no lodge
meeting for either Of tn, four,
that they arranged to meet at the
home of one Of the big men and
spend q pleasant evening tapping
a cider barrel and playing (O
cards. The little men we're full
of confidence, ginger. and bluster.
The big men we're full OF doubt,
hope, and meek as lambs. Whist
was the game. The big men won
the first round. They scored
again the second round, again the
third round. Cider, pop corn and
cigars were resorted to but svailed
the little fellows nothing. Fin.
ally the big men had won i've to
the other men one. Everything
was changed. Overcoats were
suggested for the chairs, but the
good housewife brought 10 hot
coffee and cake, and the men who
thought they knew how to play
sat up and took notice. Then
they changed to pitch. Luck
changed. the little men won the
first game. then luck changed
again, aid stayed changed most of
the time, until the big men had
won six out Of nine games. Then
the little men had an urgent call
for home, and ran a foot race to
get there. Morsl-Be careful |
what you eat and drink when
playing cards. and don't claim a
championship until you have won
it.
