A Prince of Good Fellows.

John Burns, who has been rightly
characterized as a prince of good fell
lows, left Monday to work in the
woods.
John Burns has been in Leaven-
worth some fourteen months and dur
ing that time no one has ventured a
disparaging word against him.
To say that he is an honorable man
covers the whole range of his charact-
er. He despises cant and respects
men only who measure fully up to the
true standard of honorable manhood.
He INDUCES in no gossip that leaves
its venom on character and finds de-
light in laying bare the weakness of
human nature.
He hears the cry Of distress and is
ever ready to lend helping hand to
those who have been chilled by the
bitter winds of adversely.
He is cosmopolitan and adapts him
self readily to such conditions as may
environ him in whatever part of the
round globe he casts anchor. And he
so reveres the memory OF home and its
sanctity and sacredness as to feelngly
refer to whatever place he may be tenn
porarily abiding as home" This
passion for home is wonderfully devel-
oped in Mr.. Burns in spite of the fact
that he never took the vows OF ben
edict, but has lived to middle age a
confirmed bachelor.
Since coming to Leavenworth Mr..
Burns has made his home with the
family OF Eli Knowlton, and he finds
especial delight in dilating on the
many virtues of the Knowlton family
and the pleasure Of having member
ship in such a model home.
In legal sense Mr.. Burns would
call Iowa his home, for he owns prop
erty in the town Of Lansing in that
state.
In an early day when the Mississip-
pi river was a great highway OF com
merce and artery Of transportation,
Mr.. Burns was master and pilot of
boats on that body of water and still
carries the license that authorized him
to navigate that river both as master and
pilot.
He is a man OF considerable culture,
possesses good judgment and is close
observer, enjoying particularly the
study of men.

EXCESSIVE HEAT AN UNKNOWN
Quantity in the Genial Cline of LeaVen-
worth.-Atmospher Wholly free
From Humidity.

One OF the delightful features of eli
matte conditions, OF which Leavenworth
denizens have right to boast, is that
excessive heat is an unknown quantity
in this genial cline.
The atmosphere is wholly free from
humidity and case of heat prostration
could not occur. The common ex-
preston Is this hot enough for your"
heard at this time in the sweltering east,
the torrid middle west, the sun-baked
plains Of Nevada, Arizona, New Mexi-
CO and California, would be misno-
mer here.
Yes, The Echo believes that the
fortunate dweller in this nee o'woods
has good large boast coming when
he has occasion to refer to the perfec-
ton OF summer atmospheric conditions
in Leavenworth.
Here, indeed, is the ideal summer
resort, the Mecca to which the perspir-
ing pilgrim, fleeing from enervating
heat, should stride with all possible
cpaed

Julia Ryder Paine, Truro, Mass, says:

by majority of the inhabitants OF this

lungs and sore threats after all other
remedies have failed; and for coughs
and colds it's the proven remedy.

A sensation occurred at Hatton last
Saturday. J. D. Adams and another
man were loading dynamite and giant
powder on a wagon from car when a
spark from a passing engine set fire to
the straw in the bottom of the wagon.
Adams realized the danger Immediately
and at the risk of his own life jumped
on the wagon and threw the boxes OF
explosive to the ground. Had the
fire reached them it is probable that
the entire town would have been de-
stroyed, as the wagon was well loaded
with the powder.

"Ho! your mother-she isn't one of the kind
that's worth minding."
"What do you mean?" advancing threateningly
toward the boy standing with his back to tree.

knot of boys gathered close to the speaker,
one cool and quiet, the other with angry, heated
face
'She isn't worth minding. and you know it,
Jack Somers," was the reply you've said your
self many and many time"
That's true" came in loud whisper from
of the boys standing near.
Everybody knows it, too," came from another.
Jack turned upon the speaker in angry amaze
ment: you're pretty lot of boys talking about
your mother that way, and pretending you like her
all the time!"

dozen boys.
HWell, what do you mean 2" anger giving place
to surprise.
''Why, Just this--that you don't think she's
worth minding."
Il never said such thing in my life" said
Jack trying to recall any remark of this kind.
Look here, Jack" said one of the boys, coming
forward, "you don't seem to see what George and
the other boys driving at. You may not have
said in words that your mother isn't worth mind
ing, but you do say so by your actions This

The angry light died from Jacks face before
Tom had finished his speech and it came to
close he turned and walked away.
Here was boy who loved his mother dearly.
and yet how unmindful he had been of her wishes!
Guess I needed that lesson, and although the
boys may never know it, l am much obliged to them
for it. I'll see that they don't have to tell me-

Monday Morning.

The bell had rung several times that morning,
it was an obtrusively loud bell at the best, and
Monday morning, when the maid was washing So
that Jean was obliged to answer It's noisy summons,
was not the time when it appealed to her most ia
vorably. She had slight headache, too, and she
jumped at the sound, and said: ooh, dear!" in q
tone that implied unutterable things. "a peddler,
! suppose" muttered Jean, Grossly. "As if any
body was likely to want silver polish or scented
soap at o'clock Monday morningl"
1t was not peddler the front steps, however.
A mite of boy In blue overalls stared up into her
face with an unwinkng solemnity which might
have made her smile some other morning when her
nerves were not twitching. But there was no sign
of mirth either in her face or voice as she said,
brusquely. "Well, what is it? Why did you ring
the bel?"
The small boy put his finger into his mouth and
seemed in danger of forgetting his errand altogeth-
or. Jean, looking past him, perceived group of
children on the walk and realized mpatiently that
the little fellow had been made spokesman for the
others. She was about to repeat her inquiries in
louder tone when the small voice at her elbow piped
out "Please en- we have a f'owerp
Jean had a sense of INJURY. The fact that she

the garden" cause you've got so many"
She was turning away, and she looked half
frightened when Jeans breathless voice checked
her

They went away fifteen minutes later, their
hands filed with flowers and their faces bright with

their place was a tender understanding that glori-

NO BOY KNOWS.


There are many things that boys may know
Why this and that are thus and so;
Who made the world IN the dark and lit
The great sun up to Tighten IT.
Boys know new things every day
When they study or when they play,
When they idle or SOW and reap
But no boy knows when he goes to sleep
Bows who isten-or should at least
May know that the round old earth rolls east;
And know that the ice and the snow and the rain,
Ever repeating their parts again,
Are all Just water the sunbeams first
Sop from the earth IN their endless thirst
And pour again till the low streams leap
But no boy knows when he goes to sleep.
A boy may know what a long glad while
1t has been to him since the dawn's first smile,
When forth he Jared In the realm divine
Of brooklaced woodland and spun sunshine;
He may know each call of his truant mates
And the paths they went, and the pasture gates
Of the cross lots home through the dusk so deep
But no boy knows when he goes to sleep.
O. ] have followed me DER and Ger,
From the fragrant browse on the paror floor
To the pleading voice of the mother when
I even doubted heard it, then
To the sense of kiss and moonit room
And dewy odors of locust bloom.
A sweet white cot, and cricket's cheep-
But no boy knows when he goes to sleep.

AS A LITTLE CHILD.

Is. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald,)
Oft through the dark my little one
Comes stealing softly to my bed,
To Chamber in and cuddle down
And on my bosom lay his head;
] hear him whisper coaxingly:
please let me sleep with you tonight"
And as he nestles close to me
His childish fears put to flight
All. if he knew how weak, how frail
Am I in whom he puts his trust,
How blindly and how oft ] fail,
How oft my face is in the dust.
He would not rush to when fear
Comes with her sable wings outspread;
The faith he has when | am near
Would cease TO bring him to my bed.
Some dav perchance they'll bring him where
| long have slept from visions free;
And. weeping, they leave him there
To lie serenely close to me-
Oh may l hear him, trusting say
As he is reaching upward then:
please nv father, I have come to lay
Nv head upon your breast again.

GRAND CANYON OF THE UREQUl.

YOU think you have examined every peak and as

A PLACE OF AWE AND REVERENCE.
Down toward the lowlands I saw things, as if
alive raise themselves on the foothills. These are
the giant Suaharos, the Candeabrum cacti and be-
side them was the yucca, bread tree of the SOUTH
whose cream white flowers shone across the snake
like shadows of the strange cacti. The sepulchral
quiet of the place, the consciousness of the unnum
bered ages past since time had hoared those hills
and the absence of life and motion filled me with
sensations of awe and reverence.
When darkness shrouds this region and storms
of thunder and lightning sweep across it, penetrat
ing the cavernous depths of the great gorge, and
revealing the desolation and frightful solitude of
the land, it would be fit abode for the demons of
Dante or the Djins of the southern mountains of
whom the woods in other days told terrible tales.
No man, after his sensations of awe have vanished
and his sense of the sublime in nature is satisfied,
may continue to gaze upon the scene around him,

Anecdote of the Holy Father.

We heard this week pretty anecdote of His
Holiness and little boy. The Holy Father. as is
well known has great love for the little ones, es
pecially little boys, and they with child's unerrn
instinct, know at once that they are dear to him.
Marchese francesca Patriz, whose wife is
American lady, has dear little son of years old,
whose many scrapes have earned him the nickname
of Cluster Brown" The other day several chill
dren with their parents had private audience with
His Holiness Little Bernard knelt down and kissed
the foot of the Sovereign Pontif, as he had been
told he should do and then with sudden impulse
he jumped on the Holy Fathers knees, threw his
arms around his neck and around his neck and
kissed him on both cheeks, and Piux x. folded him
close in his embrace 'Why did you do that, Der
nard ?" he was asked afterwards, and he looked UP
at US with big innocent eyes. Because the HOLY
Father looked like mother does when good"

A M EMORY.

Between the feet of the summer hours
| see the love-fre in the flowers;
| see the cloud-boat round to theh breeze
And sail and sail the azure seas.
I see the sunlight dull and die,
| see the long broad shadows lie
On level where sheep and heifers Craze
And the little wind at the woods edge plays
Again I hear the thrush wind round
The dusk with far-off, fading sound;
Once more, like the song in the twilight trees.
A dream-bliss dies in the heart of me.
