who by long years of cultivated
stinginess have strangled every
generous impulse, who suffer SO at
the idea of giving up anything that
it is necessary to administer CO.
caine to get them in a donative
state but it means and refers to
the overwhelming majority of our
people. Once in while there is d
poor wretch so stingy that he is
constantly in pain, The mere
suggestion that he gave up the
value of a peanut throws him into
a cramp collie. To save expense
he may raise his family on wild
gooseberries and hazel nuts until
his children develop into physical.
mental and moral dwarfs, but for.
tunately such instances in this
broad and generous nation are
tolerably rare.

Mrs. Riggs number in A Minor

in rendering their parts. May
nard Wherry's solo was charming.
Mrs. Mccain gave a reading tell
ing the Importance Of concentra-
ton of thought on music, while
practicing, Wade Jeffries gave a
very enjoyable violin solo. Ida
Tarpley gave a selection, followed

AS per their advertisement,
Hon. r. W. McFarlane, Atty
General W. F. Kirby and Hon
John II. Hinnemon, candidates fol
governor, spoke in this city
Wednesday afternoon to small
crowd, devoting large portion Of
their time to roasting Geo. W.
Donaghey who is also candidate
for the governors office. Each candi.
date spoke in favor of better edu-
cational facilities, agricultural and
horticultural exhibitions, textile
schools, and a better assessment
of the railroads and other co.
operations. Mr.. McFarlane gave
as an example, in the way of low
assessments Of the railroads, the
main line of the Iron Mountain
which is bonded, or mortgaged, al
$76 900. per mile, and is assessed
at only SIG, 900 per mile.

HANG UP THE STOCKINGS.

The Christmas tree is all very
we'll, it is splendid in fact, and
how beautiful it looks with the
candles lighted and the bright
tinted balls, bells, eggs, hearts
and stars shining all over it; but it
is nothing to the stocking in the
chimney place on Christmas eve.
Have the tree by all means. But
if you want to make the children
happy don't omit the stockings.
1t is English and fashionable to
have the tree, with all the aunts,
uncles and cousins asked, and
gifts for everybody, and music
games, cakes, oranges and funny
recitations and all sorts of things.
But oh, the stockings! When
everyone has brought pair of the
longest and biggest, and papa has
taken pains to hang them so that
they are strong, and all is quite
still in the street and it is bedtime,
what wonderful ideas come into
the little minds, and what pleasant
memories into those Of the grown
ups. What mother would like to
miss the little exhibition of hope
and faith. The child who trusts
most ardentlv in the Benevolent
Ssancta Claus will be most likely to
put faith in Heavens mercies in
his after life; for Santa Claus al
ways comes when he is expected,
and when mother and father hang
tie stockings up he is sure to put
something in them.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

At this season of the. year the
one great thought that throbs in
the heart of every unselfsh person
is what can I give my friends 10
increase their happiness9 1t is
only a grabbed, sordid soul at this
browning summit of the year who
asks what am l going to receive.
Children expect to receive and are
happy in the thought, but rightly
balanced adults find their chief
pleasure in giving. This does not
include that class of chronic misers

for the tree. Everyone is invited
to take an active part and make it
a success.
We have a lady down here that
has done all her house work, milk
ed three cows, cooked three meals
day, and is now picking on her
fourth bale of cotton, not-with-
standing she is So years old. Just
for the benefit of our Johns, will
say that this lady is not a widow.

the popular school teacher, whose
name we were unable to learn, at
that place, and other speakers
made short addresses. After hav'
ing listened attentively to the
speakers, two temporary tables
were made and loaded to the limit
with all that is good to satisfy
hungry person. The good women
of that community deserve much
praise and the thanks of all pres
ent, for the many good things they
had cooked and 80 delicately pre-
paired for their enjoyment and
pleasure. Several good talks were
made after the supper, and al
went away we'll pleased with the

When Secretary Root was at Panama
on his return from South America, Gov.
Magoon gave him a dinner, at which
were present various dignitaries. An
invited banker who failed to appear
called next day with explanations. A
birth had occurred just at that time in
his family, by which another girl had
been added to six. predecessors.
''Too bad it was not a boy" said Gov.
Magoon. you might have called him
Elihu Root" 5-
oh said the father I'VE had decid-
ed to call him that if the child had been
a boy. But not. being able to call the
child exactly that, shall call her
Rootine."

that the long delay involved in ship

The Kansas City Gray Brick COM
pany, which has a plant with 10000
daily capacity at Bonner Springs, on
the Union Pacific, has filed complaint
with the state board of railroad COM
missioners against the existing rate
from its kilns to Leavenworth. The
company is charged cents per 100 for
while for similar shipments from Leav-
enworth to Bonner Springs the rate is
cents. Bonner Springs claims it
should have the same rate that is ac-
corded to Leavenworth.
The same company also asks that
the railroad require the Missouri Pa
cific and the Santa Fe to build a con-
roads cross. so that it can make ship
ments over either line.
The answer of the Union Pacific in
these matters has not been filed.
