II Broke Up the woman's Club.

AEEOIl the AlCnLSOn NTlODe-)
An AtchisOn women's club has dis
banded. The members were so anxi-
Gus to become perfect that they sug-
gested that a meeting be called in
which each member be told her faults
and after hearing her faults she
should try and correct them. The
meeting was planned weeks before
hand and each member carefully
thought on the faults Of the other
members. 1t was to be done in the
Eindest and most help-each-Other
way. One woman led of by telling
another that she was the laughing
stock Of her friends by combining her
conversation to what she did for 9TH
ers; that she would be more admired
If she allowed her friends to find out
her kind acts. etc The victim retort-
ed by saying there were people in that
club who had no kind deeds to relate,
and then her voice broke and one of
her friends spoke up and said it was
a shame to hurt anyOne's feelings in
such a manner. More tears. The
others women looked sympathetic and
said 1T is an outrage to say such
things to a persons face" and with
scOrnfuI glances at the first speaker,
who was so paralyzed that she forgot
to say she thought everyone had come
prepared to tell the faults Of the club
members, the women went tearfully
and Indignantly home.

THE IMPULSE TO BE KIND.

When from the prison Of its body free,
Ny soul shall soar, before it goes to
Thee,
Thou great Creator, give it power to
know
The language of all sad, dumb things
below.
And let me dwell a season still on
earth
Before I rise to some diViner birth
Invisible to men, yet seen and heard
And understood by sOrrOwing beast
and bird
Invisible to men, yet always near,
To whisper counsel in the human ear,
And with a spell to stay the hunters
hand
And stir his heart to know and under
stand,
To plant within the dull or thought
less mind
The great religious impulse, to be
kind
Before I prune my spirit wings and
To seek my loved ones in their para
disc
veal Even before I hasten to see
That lost chiId's face so like a dream
to me,
would be given this intermediate
role,
And carry comfort to each poor dumb
soul,
And bridge mans gulf Of cruelty and
sin
By understanding Of his lower kin
'Twixt weary driver and the straining
steed
On wings Of mercy would my spirit
speed,
And each should know. before his
journeys end,
That in the other dwells a loving
friend.
From zoo and jungle, and from cage
and stall,
would translate each inarticulate
call,
Each pleading look, each frenzied act
and cry,
And tell the story to each passer-by;
And OF a spirits privilege possessed,
Pursue indifference to its couch OF rest
And whisper in its ear until In awe
It woke and knew Gods ali-embrac-
ing law
Of Universal Life-the One in AL
Lord, let this mission to my lot befan-

Manager Hurley says prohibition
Raises Standard.

Topeka. FEB. 1S.-GeneraI Nan
ager J. =. Hurley OF the Santa Fe
says the prOhfbftOry law has raised
the standard Of railroad men in kan
sas above those OF other states and
declares railroad men the world over
would be benefited by such law.
Rev Charles n Sheldon is making
a study Of the prOhibitory law, and in
order tOget all the information he can
on the subject he wrote to several
large employers Of labor for their i'm
pressiOns- Mr. Hurley was one OF
them His reply was the first to ar
rive In it Mr. Hurley says
Il regard the prohibitory law Of
the state OF Kansas as OF very great
value especially to the railroad men,
who are in some ways tempted along
the lines Of intemperance as other
working men are not tempted, owing
to the nature Of their work, their
enforced absence from home, etc The
fact Of the prOhfbitOry law in the
state OF Kansas and the absence in
so many towns Of the saloon as an
element Of temptation has raised the
standard Of the life OF the railroad
man 1t has in many cases added to
his home life, assisted in the educa-
ton OF his children and proved a
The difference between conditions
in Kansas and those in states where
the saloon is permitted by license is
very marked L do not hesitate to
say that the advantage is all with the
state Of Kansas, even under the
handicap OF its being surrounded by
states where the saloon is allowed.
The condition Of the railroad men in
Kansas is better in every way on &C
count OF the prOhibitOry law. I re-
gard the law as a great blessing in
every particular to the social, moral
and general we'll being Of working
men, and especially railroad men,
with whom have lived nearly all
my life, and I do not hesitate to say
to the world that ali railroad men the
world over would be greatly benefited
by the passage Of such a law as that
which is on the statute books in the |

One Of the matters in hand was the

more sidings, west Of the shops. An
other is the utilization OF the south

the shifting Of machinery into the

Barns OF Frank Steude
A bad prairie IRE was started Non
day on the old HartzIer place In Iowa
township. One Of Lee Hartzler's boys
was clearing out weeds on his grand
mothers place and set FIRE to some
trash and the fire got away. The wind
was sOuthwesteriy, which drove the
blaze nOrtheasterly nearly to Edison
The barn. some lumber, wagon, feed,
etc, Of Frank Steude, living about two
miles south Of Edison, were burned up.
Toward night the wind shifted to
the north and blew a gale, turning the
FIRE toward the southeast, and driving

P. P. BLIss. sIsTER DID.
Once Her Beautiful Voice Thrilled
Hearts In GOOdIand-


Mrs. Cara Wilson. sister Of the
late p p Bliss, and q singing evan
gelist quite widely known in this
country and Great Britain, died OF
heart failure at TOWanda, Pa, last
Thursday. aged So years.
Old residents Of GOOdIand VIII re-
member the Clark Wilson evangelist
meetings, held for several weeks in
the opera house in GOOdland many
years ago, in which Mrs Wilson aided
her husband so wonderfully in STIR
ring the hearts Of the people with her
beautiful voice in song. Her husband
died several years ago.
Clark Wilson was a powerful man
on the platform, and with the help Of
Mrs Wilson, he conducted the most
spectacular religious meetings ever
held in this city The opera house
would be thrOnged with people
Tickets Of admission were even issued,
which had to be presented at the
door before O'Clock or the holder
was barred, and the man waiting at
the door let in to take his place. This
was done to regulate the attendance
and 20 prevent too great jam in the
hall.
Wilson supported his meetings by
volunteer offerings He had to have
so much money every week and he
wasn's slow in telling his hearers that
they had to dig" he Instituted "siI-
yer offerings" and would tell the peO-
pie that he didn't want their pennies
and their nickels, but to drop in their
dimes, quarters, and half dollars.
wilson's meetings brought out
many pendants, but because OF the
fever Of religious impulse and excite
ment that prevailed, a good per cent
Of the converts sagged back in the old
way, which was as good and whole
some, perhaps, as to have kept up the
