KANSAS COMAfENT
WE ARE AL BROTHERS.

L
We are all brothers after all. Some
times we are prone to think the milk
or human kindness flows slugg1shly
ana the mantle of charity but inquire
test, and there Will be no discord in
the sweet song of brotherly love and
| friendship. We saw it last Sunday.
Death called from among us, one
whom society and the commercial
mart had long since tossed into the
discard But at his bier was min
lister of one of our leading churches
and his choir softly chanted consoling
scores of mourners comprised the
flower of the towns citizenship. Why
gathered these people at the pail of
the lowly? 1t was not to pay tribute
had none. Neither had he won
| trophies of gold and silver and broad
acres of fertile lands. He had not
fought and won a great battle. Nor
thropist. Not a simmer of halo He
was an outcast from society, a poor
serf from foreign shores into whose
dense mind the rays of the primer had
of a burning thirst, which unquenched,
finally consumed. But the minister
found virtues to extol. The milk of
human kindness began to flow and
the poor outcast was laid away to his
last sleep with his past forgotten and
flowers pinned to his memory How
dull and unmusical the world would
be were 1t not for this blessed mantle
of charity. How like tinkling cymbals
and sounding brass we would become.
Charity. How it exalts and purif1es
And there are those that tell us there
is nothing higher-that when we go
we go as docs the beast of burden

GOD BLESS EN-.
They came in on the Howard" this
m ornfng-he in his best Sunday suit
and she in her white cloth suit, with
her white hat and Shoes and they
went past the court house three times
and he was four hours getting her to
go in They walked up and down
Commercial street half dozen times
and saw all the store windows, and
bought some oranges at Irelands and
stood in the cold, raw March wind at
noon, eating them, in front of the Nit
Way hotel. A crowd of drummers in
side made up purse of two dollars to
get them the best dinner in the house.
and sent cigar drummer out to ask
them in. But he lost his nerve. and
the purse was dissolved.
Then they walked to the court
house. and after that vanished from
the street. They went straight up.
They were too happy for this world,
and no one has seen them since the
| poria Gazette.
A WORD FOR SMOOT.
The United States senate did not
GUST Smoot. The women who have
been camping on the Mormon's trail
can have good cry, anyway. If all
the women in the world were like the
crowd that has been hanging around
Washington for months trying to Dust
Smoot there would be some justifica-
| ton for man being a Mormon He
would have to be one in order to have
one woman at home a part of the
time.-Sedgwick Paragraph.
IN THE TERRITORY.
| The Kansas courts are not the ONLY
ones that are crowded with liquor
prosecutions. We notice in the list of
cases for trial at Sallisaw for the
northern district of the Indian terri
tory. of efghty-seven cases, forty-four
are for introducing liquor into the ter
ritory-Miami Republican.
ROUND HOUSE.
The Kansas senate should remem-
| Der that it might have avoided being
| taken for a railroad round house if it
/ had not DerSiStentlV advertised itself
