SQUIRE THRIFTY'S SAY.
Inc young man or young woman,
observes Squire Thrifty, whose parents
are living happily together, and are
fairs of life. had better go over the
matter thoroughly before repudiating
the advice and counsel of those par
ents altogether. This is especially true
yak IN
their teens" yet imagine they are
men and women. You never saw a
middle aged person in your life that
amounted TO row of pins, who dad
not long for the counsel and compan-
1onship of mother and father. The
young people who now set themselves
up in defiance of the wishes of parents
VIII remember with regret in future
their lives resulted from their having
ignored parental advice. Take an in
Ventory OF your parents, my young
friends. and you will probably find they
average up pretty well with the people
of your community. They know you
far better than you know yourself and
their judgment in regard to what is
best for you is the best guide which
you can possibly secure in this world.

ANOTHER WRECK.
Another wreck has occurred OH the
Missouri Pacific, caused by spreading
rails, which doubtless was caused by
rotten ties. If the ties are as rotten
about Horace as they are in the vi
entity of Salina,H nobody is surprised.
Why the Missouri Pacific will insist on
neglecting its track as it does, is be-
yond com prehension. 1t ought to be
one of the best systems in the west, but
from its maintenance it would appear
that it was In the hands of receiver
with hardly enough money to pay ex-
penses. If the railroad commission will
act promptly in having these tracks put
in good condition and not spend their
time in making faces at Mr.. Sheppard.
they will please the public better. We
do not mean to eriticise cthe board of
railroad commissioners. We believe
them honest and sincere men who are
anxious to serve the people, but the
people want prompt action. 1t will only
be a question of time when a wreck
will occur when many human lives will
be lost, and action ought to be taken
to compel the railroad to put its tracks
in proper condition. There should be as
little, delay as possible in enforcing such
an order.-Salipas4nur
