ut was either the 10th or near that
date that l, then n young fellow of
eighteen, was passing down there
where that train has just darted by.
only then there was no train there, but
the highway, and l rode N stage
coach. The grounds of this house then
extended to the road, The fence lining
it. There was a gate down there, and
as looked out of the stage window I
saw a girl about eight years old swing
ing on it. Her blue eyes were fixed on
the coach, and the mild breeze was
playing with her hair. which, with tie
sun shining upon 1t, was the color of
thoSe lances ef light that shine through

ut was barely q minute that 1 saw
her. but youth is impossible, or, rather.
when a youngster is impressed at all
he is impressed thoroughly.
THAT was shortly before the canal
was built. The road gave way to the
canal or the totvpath. and we who had
been used to travelling on the coach
were now pulled along in boat by
couple Of horses. 1t was six years aft
er passing the place that 1 passed 1t
again in canal boat about o'clock
on a midsummer afternoon. The leaves
and the grass were slightly Drowned

President Roosevelt is said to be
aLgry over the decision of Judge
Humphrey in the packer immunity
cases. Mr. Roosevelt is actually mad
at himself for being so shortsighted a.
to promise the packers immunity if
they would confess TO violations of
law and he is still madden at himself
for supposing that in every case fed
eral Judge would decide case con-
trary to law and common sense. Judg-
es ofttimes have a conscience of their
own and many of them have some re-
gard for their future.

Judge a. A Brooks of the city court
of Kansas City, Kan, has appealed to
Governor Hoch to pardon his son from
the Hutchinson reformatory. Judge
Brooks himself imposed the sentence
upon the boy, after the latter had been
arrested for absenting himself from
school and was charged with stealing
cigars. Judge Brooks application is
based on the ground that when he
pronounced sentence he thought the re
formatory was an industrial school
not a penal institution.

Governor Deneen no longer conceals
the fact that he favors Yates for sen

insinuate that the governor has his

would not run to avoid getting its

lightning. In that case it is wise for
him to aid in the defeat of Cullom

Miss Eggart's
Entertainment.

Miss Fodie Eggart entertained
Thursday evening at the home of her
parents on East Jackson street with
star party, complimentary to the
class of '07 of P. II. S., of which she
is member.
The entire lower floor was deco
rated with red and green, with stars
in evidence throughout.
The merriment commenced with the
star puzzles and the contest ended
with Miss Erin Robinson and Mr..
Frank Rogers capturing the first two
prizes, while Miss Susie Harvey and
Mr.. George Harvey won the two BOBBY
prizes.
Then a cord was stretched across
the room from which a number OF
small, red and green packages, con
tanning peanuts were suspended by
cords of different lengths and each
in turn was blindfolded, given a pair
of scissors and allowed to cut as
many packages as possible in the
given time.
This resulted in great deal of fun.
but the real surprise of the evening
was when the guests were ushered
into the spacious dining room Here
the tables, all laden with dainty re-
freshments were arranged in the
shape of stars, the center one con-
tanning large, white star and the
place cards were small red and green
stars.
Fun continued until a late hour
when the guests left having spent a
most pleasant time, the evening prov
ing one of the most enjoyable of
the holiday season.

friends who hope to hear soon of her
recovery.
