A Compliment To Harris.

Never in Kansas campaign has
so great and persistent a compliment
been paid candidate for governor
as the republican organs confer upon
the democratic candidate, W. a.
Harris.
The Beacon has been taking note
Of the different republican papers
and almost without exception and
nearly every day the tribute to Mr..
Harris is repeated.
Col. W. A. Harris is opposed to
the Katy deal and whenever he or
his party papers allude to his position
OF the question they reply:
W. A. Harris is from Chicago.
When the statement is made that
the republican state ticket is a rail.
road-made ticket, the invariable reply
| is:
W. A. Harris is from Chicago.
When the stockmen of the state
ask W. A. Harris to judge their
cattle and award the prizes, the re-
publican papers say:
W. A. Harris of Chicago awarded
the prizes.
When very gentle attack is mad e
on the book trust, the republicans
arise in extreme agitation and reply:
! W. A. Harris is from Chicago.
When David Overmyer, in one of
his supremely logical arguments show
that the republican party has ever
befriended corporations, instead Of
complimenting Mr.. Overmyer, they
repeat their cry:
W. A. Harris is from Chicago.
Now when man running for an
office is immune from criticism and
the only possible ground for attack
is this parrutlike cry, the FULLEST mind
must appreciate the keeness of the
compliment it involves. 1t means
that Mr.. Harris is above reproach
and that his arguments are I'm.
answerable and his record unassail.

Merely A Thought.

Had Colonel William A. Harris
been of the Burton type Of statesman
he would now be in possession of and
living on his Kansas farm; and his
citizenship would not be questioned
by those sensitive politicians who are
much distressed because he was

The Topeka Capital takes a
vicious slap at the travelling men.
After trying for two months to
force the travelling men to line up
for Hoch, it practically admits
that they are for Harris and adds
editorially: 1T is a safe rule in
Kansas to ind how the travelling
men talk, and then bet the other
way" In addition to losing its
temper, the Capital makes a mis-
take. So noted a Republican pol
itician as Cyrus Leland once de-
clared that the drift of the aver.

Ability of Primitive Inventors

T1HE millionaire who has started with nothing
says that the accumulation of the first one
thousand dollars requires more ability and self
control than to amass the remainder of the
fortune.
On this principle, it has been conjectured
that considering the originality of the print
tive invent ors and the difficulty of overcom-
ing obstacles, they had greater ability than the
moderns.
The inventor of the needle and thread and
the art of sewing than the inventor of the
sewng-machine.
OF the process of breaking the wild horse and
to pillow and wagon, than the inventor of
the loconotor on rail or common road.
OF the wheeled vehicle especially the hub
and-spoke wheel, than the inventor of the
finest coach or carriage for the rail or otherwise
OF the fireplace and chimney, than the inven-
tor of steam hot-water heating.
Of crude electrical experiments, including
Franklin's, than the inventor of telegraph,
telephone, and wireless apparatus.
OF uneavened or leavened bread, than of
the dishes of the fifteen taousand-dollar chef.
Of the art of INTERVENING threads, thongs, or
wooden fibers into fabrics, than of the loom,
hand or power
OF the first spinning-wheel, than of the
spinning jenny
OF the first knitting, than of the knitting
machine.
OF the first rude pottery, than Of the finest
wares.

What Becomes of the Pins

NEARLY sixty million pins are made each
IN day in England. Some twenty odd
million are manufactured in France, and other
countries produce ten million and upward each
day This enormous output has been going
on regularly for years; but what becomes of
the pins? They do not wear out; they do not
dissolve into the air; there is no way of destroy
ing them. 1t is indee1 an interesting problem
to discover what becomes of them.
Over eighty-four million pins are lost daily
in Europe. and the cash value of these would
be about five thousand dollars.

A Gentleman

w Bishop Doane has answered it as follows.
"A gentleman is but gentle man, no more,
no less; a diamond polished that was dia-
mond in the rough; a gentleman is gentle; a
gentleman is modest; gentleman is courteous
he is slow to take offense; he never gives it
he is generous; he is slow to surmise evil, as
being. one who never thinks it; a gentleman
goes armed only in consciousness of right; a
gentleman subjects his appetites; gentle
man refnes his tastes; gentleman subdues
his feelings; a gentleman controls his feelings;
and finally a gentleman deems every other
better than himself"

Persian Proverbs

GOOD luck is not sold in the market
~ An. ass IS an ass, though his saddle-cloth
be satin.
In the ants house dew is a deluge.
Liars have bad memories
A pound Of learning needs ten of sense.
If you go to hunt jackal prepare to meet
a lion.
An old man sees in a brick what young
man sees in a mirror.
Stretch your feet according TO your blanket.
Gold does the business, man does the boast
ing
The apples will not fall from the tree till
you shake it.
Wealth is in heart, not in money.
The tongue of the people is the kettledrum
of God.
A fool speaks, and wise man thinks.
Fear not him who fears not God.
A donkey cannot be made a horse by beating.
While the root is in water there is hope
for fruit.
While you give nothing you get nothing
Where there are unbehevers there is
no faith.

The Last Say

A \ Englishman who was in the habit Of
"A interlarding his speech with the express
sion of Il say" was once told that an ac-
quaintance had made some disparagng re-
marks on this popularity. A few days later
he met the individual and reprimanded him
in the following amusing manner:

every word say. Now sir, although l know

The Poets at the Ball Park

SCOT.
At once there rose so wild yell,
AS all the fans, upris'n from hell
Had pealed the crooked umpire's knell.
Forth from the stands in tumult driven,
Although for long they'd bravely strIven,
The vain police appear.
And fists appraised unto the sky,
With Robberl Traitorl Snide!" their cry,
The fans rush in the rear.
Omar.
O thou who midst the ever-fckle band
Vert steadiest, every act and movement
planned,
o thou, of all the model, thou, in whom
Ny hopes and cash were Centered-hast
thou famed!
Across the field, all studded with the forms
OF hurrying men, and glittering in the play
OF lights and shadows, rose the snow-white
sphere.
And they who gazed were dumb; and then
A roar that made the towers and pinnacles
Resound again the shout.

For horne-run prize athirSti

And then was nailed at first.
Coleridge:
A weary timei A weary time
How glazed each weary eyel
He struck agan-the ball uprose
And swiftly climbed the sky
And soon it seemed little speck;
And, lost within the mist,
1t fell beyond the right-feld fence
A homer, sure, visit.
Ingoldsby:
The captain rose, with dignihed look
And bat from nearby sack he took
In holy anger and pious grief
He roundly cursed the Tascally thief:
But the umpire commanded him go, for a
brief
Space of time to-We
Just then, with yell,
The bat on the umpires Uranium fell
And forth from the grand stand and bleachers
wide
Came the roar of a murder sanctifed,
Gray:
The whistles, shrieking, tell of parting day
The crowd toward waiting cars betakes
its way;
The umpire, crouching meath the players lee,
Leaves the long field to coppers and to me.
