CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

In u letter to the Congregationalist and Chris

ansas City, assistant attorney general OF Kan
says on the closing of saloons in Kansas:
III am In receipt of your request for a statement
|ikh reference to the closing of the joints in this
and the effect thereof. In reply | give the
lowing facts:
This city is the metropolis of Kansas, with
Sslation of about 100000. The inhabitants
largely wage earners and represent every ma
6nality. We are located on the border, only
Invisible line separating us from Kansas City,
p This city ranks fifth in the list Of manutac-
ring cities of the United States.
One year ago there were 256 saloons in this
6unty, 200 gambling dens and abont so houses of
Scialevils. Today there is not saloon, no open
slpbling dens; nor disorderly house. 1t is the

NEVER FORGOT BOY
Continuing, Mrs. Eddy said:
II was very busily engaged In
my writings, but I never forgot
my boy. He was very smart boy
and the Cheneys grew very fond of
him, and they wanted to keep him
for their own. | sent them money
for his education and support, and
I wrote to him many times, but
they kept my letters from him,
and told him his mother was dead.
The result was that finally believ-
ing me dead and not liking the
way in which he was treated at
the Cheneys, George ran away. L
searched and searched for him, but
never could find him, and for a
long time l could get no trace of
his whereabouts. Finally heard
thro letter. from my relative,
Mrs. Alexander Tilton, of Sanborn-
ton Bridge, that my boy had en-
listed in the army and had gone to
the front. 1t was then too late to
do anything. George went into
the army when he was IS, and
come out when he was 90,
and then he went back to the West.

then, and wanted him to come to

OTHER SUBJECTS INTRODUCED.
At pause in Mrs. Eddy's story
concerning her son | suddenly
switched the conversation by say
ing:
"You have a very beautiful
place here, Mrs. Eddy. DO you
look after it and personally con-
troll your household"
''No living person." she replied

"Ay; that ! swear to YOU he ardently
replied. And Edith Baumgarten breathed
a sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought it must be the faintness
attendant on death but for a short time
she seemed to sleep,
He sat on his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one of her hands, All
was still; so still that the ticking Of
Edith's watch, lying on the dressing ia
bic, was audible. About ten minutes had
thus passed when a slight cry from the
infant In the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr..
Baumgarten's ear.

The tone, growing inaudible, had taken
a glad sound of ecstasy; and with the
last word, the spirit passed away.
After the funeral of Mrs. Baumgarten
the parish tlocked to Wilton Cottage to
condole with their rector and to see the
baby. He received them with quiet cour-
tesy, but the most sanguine sympathizers
could not detect any encouragement for
a renewal of the visit. All that could
make life pleasant to Mr.. Baumgarten
was as yet buried in the grave of Edith.
Gradually he began to take notice Of
The child; at first he had avoided him.
Uhe old servant, Dinah, who had lived
with the Danes for years, took charge of
him. Mr. Baumgarten would sometimes
have him on his knee now, and soon loved

had nothing else to love.
Thus the months glided on to winter
the rector fulfilling all his duties as of
yore, but leading very lonely life.
