The Begged Question.

From the Boston Ppst.
 Walter Wellman, sthe noted explorer, journalist and aeronaut was discussing on the Carmania, on the way to Amer ica an English aeroplane that had failed. 70 ''The machine" MT. wellman said, is no good, and 1t never will be any good. Its inventors excuses for its failure-he blamed the wind, the motor, a loose screw begged the question as the private did in the civil war.
 This private escaped from camp one night, visited town, and in returning was waylaid by sentry.
 "'Who goes thereT the sentry called In the darkness.
 General Grant, the private answered, in the voice of one who has consumed il beers and whislSys.
 And thereupon the disgusted sentry knocked the man down with his muslSet butt.
 '' Jim Jobbins,' the sentry exclaimed, recognizing the private as he helped him up, how dare you say that you are Gen. eral Grant?
 ''The private tied his handkerchief around his head.
 We'll he stammered If you'd do this to General Grant what wouldn't you have done to Jim Jobbins? "

Full of Wind.
the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
 One clustering day last month teach CT in one of the public schools of Ger mantown, in assigning topics for an ex- ercise in English composition, suggested that the children of the primary class might give their impressions of the weather One of the little pupils was ob- served to gaze pensively out of the win dow for long time before starting her work. At last she undertook the task and the teacher noticed that the composition was completed in less than a minute. It's laconic but unconscious humor rather surprised the teacher. The little scholar had written: The world is full of wind"

LEFT HOME AND CHILD.
Abraham Martin Returns from Work
to Find Wife Missing.

Leavenworth, Oct. 5.-When Abra-
ham Martin, a section hand employed
by the Burlington, finished his day
OF hard work and went home he found
the humble little house at 272 'Choc-
taw street deserted and stripped Of it's
furnishings. His wife was gone and
their ten-year- old boy, August. was
disconSoIately wandering about the
despoiled home suppressing his tears
in his boyish way as best he might.
On the kitchen table were two
plates with knife and fork and glass;
set for two. Beside plate lay note.
abe: I am going away and I am
not going to let any one know why
nor where. 1 don't want you to know
until I apply for a divorce in five or
six months. You may as well make
up your mind to grant it for I won't
live with you any more.
"You needn't make any inquiries
about me either as 1t will be no use.
1t is farewell forever woman might
as we'll be in hell as live with a man
like you. I have worked and saved
my money-you thought I was spend
ing it all but you were fooled.
"I have heard something about our
girl Ellen that makes me feel very
sad. You know enough of our troubles
Il am going away and forget it all.
Don't worry about me. am gone and
able to care for myself. Abe. We will
be divorced in a few months and you
can get some other woman to live
Win you ana care LOT you. Try IL
and see If she will be as good to you.
Goodbye, Abe-we might have been
happy had things been otherwise
goodbye, ALICE"
The note was written with a firm
hand and the only tinge of regret was
in the reference to the daughter. Mrs.
Martin had carefully planned her de-
parture. Everything of value about
the house was taken. Her husbands
carpenter tools worth $40 and all the
bed clothes, table linen and table ware,
except that left on the table. was
taken. p
Nothing was left to indicate where
she was gone and none saw her leave
the house.

CROPS ARE SPLENDID.
Rain Around Haviland Has Put
Wheat Land in Fine Shape.

Haviland. Kan, Oct. 5.-The fall
equinox brought an abundant of rain
for this part of Kansas. Commence
ing on Sunday there has been rain
falling every day since but one. Near
ly two inches fell in this time. Listed
ground had begun to feel the effect of
the three weeks of dry weather,
though the wheat was coming up fair
ly well where ground had been plow
ed and narrowed. Wheat had come
up even and is growing fine.
Wheat was sown much earlier this
year than usual, more than one half
now being in the ground. Farm help
is very scarce and in good demand.
Feed cutting is much behind.
Corn is first class. the best crop
ever raised in this county being this
year. Much of the corn will make
fifty bushels per acre and that which
was planted after the freeze of May
81, in the KILLED wheat" ground will
