KEEFER MIS-QUOTED.
Popuiist Candidate Victim of Kansas
City Star Misrepresentation.

Popuiist Candidate Victim of Kansas
City Star Misrepresentation.
In view of the fact that the entire
Democratic campaign in Kansas this
year is being made under false pre-
lenses it is not unnatural that the
KaNas City Star, the Missouri news
paper which has been made the Off
cial organ of the candidacy of an Illi-
nois man for Governor Of Kansas,
should resort to all sorts of mis-repre-
sentation and falsehood in its efforts
to make votes for it's chosen candt-
date. Not satisfied with terming
democrats who are supporting Harris,
Republicans, lying about the size of
Harris meetings and making unfair
and malicious attacks on Governor
Hoch, the Star, in its desperation has
now stopped to misquoting even the
Populist candidate for Governor,
Horace A. Keefer.
Mr.. Keefer was in Topeka a few
days ago attending meeting of the
populist executive committee The
next day the Star printed what pur-
ported to be an interview with Kee-
fer in which he was credited with a
statement that Harris would carry
the state. Mr.. Keefer promptly de-
MED having made any such state
ment
81 did not make such a statement
he said. 81 do not think Harris will
carry the state. Further than that,
no representative of the Kansas City
Star talked to me in Topeka. l au-
thorized no such statement. The
story printed in the Star was mali
ciously and wilfully false"

OTHER CANDIDATES SORE.
Kick Because Harris Gets all Benefit
of Campaiqn Fund.


The campaign expenses of Colonel
Harris are paid by the Democratic
state committee. Most of the other
candidates are men of moderate
means, and they also would like to
have a lift in a financial way. But
the state committee has no money for
anybody but Colonel Harris, and if
the other candidates do any campaign
work, they must do it at their own
expense. AS a result of this condi-
ton, Colonel Harris is the only cam
didate who is taking much interest in
the campaign. Colonel Harris will
not suffer any financial loss on &C
count of the campaign The stock
breeders association with which he is
connected allows his salary to go
along, and the Democratic state com
mittee stands all his expenses The
colonel takes no risk whatever, and
his tour of the state will increase his
acquaintance, and help his business in
the long run. In this respect he has
a great advantage over the other can
didates on his ticket

Lack of Democratic Organization

Block.
One of the things that worries Colo
mel Harris is the lack of organization
by the Democrats in the counties.
The state committee is not able to
grasp the situation, and Colonel
Harris's efforts to rouse the local
leaders are fruitless. In few coun-
ties the Democrats have put up a
strong man for sheriff, or treasurer,
and are trying to capture enough Re
publican votes to elect him, but there
is little interest for the Democratic
state ticket When Colonel Harris re-
ports that certain county is dead"
the state committee sends out a few
hundred copies of Colonel Bill Ryan's
speech, and that particular county is
checked off as having been properly
looked after. One of the Kansas City
Stars correspondents, who is in close
touch with Colonel Harris, said lately
that Harris friends hoped to pull
him through in spite of the state COM

Sitting over their coffee in the even
ing, the various members of the coach
ing party were detailing impressions
from the days trip.
BY common consent the others
paused when Madam la Baronne de
Vaux began to speak. The dainty
Frenchwoman was favorite with all
and she was usually sure of listeners
to whatever she chose to say.
"Ah, that little village" she cried,
gaily. THAT little village all of wood
with its wooden church! But in
France 1t had been all of brick and
stone. Yet 1t was like-oh, so very
like!-a tiny place quite near our
chateau. And it was there that some
thing happened once, something droll,
and sweet"
Madam la Baronne paused and
smiled, and the sweetness in her face
deepened, and the drollness flashed in
her black eyes.
Tell us, please tell us, madam" the
others clamored.
Surely" the baroness replied.
There was dear old boy lived in
the village, and, too, a dear old lady.
He was an old bachelor, and she was
an old maid. Once, years and years
and years ago, she and ne had been
Sweethearts. Somehow they could not,
or would not, marry. He went away
for years, while she remained in the
village always. Then at last he came
back, and they were good friends
They were too old to marry, or so they
thought. But every evening he called
on her, and they sat and chatted on
the veranda when the season was
right, and at other times they sat in
two great chairs before the little fire
In the little parlor Of her cottage.
Zone winters night, when the air was

the baroness suggested, and turned to
a patriotic American. "Of course,
that means you, Mr.. Blennen."
Blennen's dark, thin face lighted
with a pleasant smile, as he nodded
an assent to the general demand, but
before he rose from his chair his eyes
wandered toward woman at a little
distance from him and there they rest
ed with suggestion of expectation in
their gaze. Almost instantly the
woman turned to meet his look, and
she spoke eagerly:
"Oh, please, Mr.. Blennen."

him, and he continued in an eager

Tell me. Grace, is not my happiness

But the woman raised her hand APP

OF exceptional personal charm when he

brute. He had treated his wife with
exquisite courtesy In the presence Of

outraged her every instinct, had beat
en- and bruised her flesh and scourged
her soul. His death had come as .
blessed release from the tortures her
pride had forced her to endure, but 1t
had left her with a morbid dread Of
marriage, a conviction that all men
were cowardly and cruel, that as her
husband had been, so any other might
be.
Tonight, as Blennen reviewed the
words she had spoken to him, he felt
swift indignation that she must still
suffer physically, as her insompia
testified she did.
mo wonder she broods, If she can't
sleep nights" he muttered angrily.
What chance can have?"
After long silence, he spoke again,
and now very tenderly:
If l could only play to her, for her

He went to the window and stood
looking out at the glory of the river
and the night. The spirit of the scene
crept to his ear and whispered her
name, and the memory Of her and the
desire of her filled his soul.
