An exchange says; why don't we
say as many nice things about the
banker, the broker, the capitalist and
the monied man as we do about the
preacher, the doctor or the lawyer, for
they are of more service to their Sec
ton because they set in motion the
wheels from which all good things
flow" The reason is self evident.
The weather. a man gets, the more
exclusive he GETS and the less he cares
for the notice of anybody, and you
might as well say, the feelings of any
body in particular He is not depend
ant on others for assistance in passing
through "this vale of tears" and con-
sequently he lives on a high pedestal,
which he has erected himself, far above
the ignoble herd, whose only fault is
that they have not as much money as
he. The average rich man is as far
above the praise or censure of ordinary
people as the trembling snow cloud is
above the earth on which it scatters
its munifcence. and shooting praise at
him is about as much good as shooting
arrows at soap bubbles in an endeavor
to bring them down. To attain wealth
1t is necessary to lack warm human
feelings, and perhaps the rich man
after having attained his purpose, has
to preserve that cold exterior to protect
himself from the spongers who infest
society.

Elsewhere in these columns we re-
print ''snake yarn gotten up by
some versatile ananias connected with
the Chattanooga Times. If the Times
expects its readers to believe such rot
as that it is pretty badly mistaken.
A reporter connected with this She
bang interviewed Col Austin Coppin-
ger Sunday (before the article in ques-
ton had reached these diggings) on
the subject of rattlesnakes and he assur-
ed him that he hadn't seen rattle
snake this year. Coppinger was sober
and the reporter was too-'nary drop
having entered their innerds Conse-
quently the heft of proof depends on
the Estate officials mentioned, who
must have been in a delightful state OF
delirium rattlesnakium. A copperhead
which has just coiled above our office
clock informs us that owing to the pc
culiarly slippery character of okra, he
does not believe that the snakes in
question were rattlesnakes-the rattles
would slip off you know-and, of course
a snake without a rattle wouldn't be a
rattlesnake, would it,
We are very much pleased that the
Times insinuates that any thing is IL
able to happen in Sequachee. We have
been waiting seventeen long years for
the town to take an industrial start
and the burned thing hash started yet.
Most of the active citizens have start
ed-to some other place, however, and
so we rock along. And now comes the
Times and gets up thrilling yarn
about myriads of rattlesnakes in two
miles of place where the foxes are
hunting up sleeping quarters in the
backwards, owing to its being safer
than further out in the suburbs.

GETSTHE BEACON
Well Known Editor Purchases Wichita
Newspaper.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. SO.-Henry ]. AL
len of Ottawa, has purchased the Daily
Beacon a a sum close to 800, 900. H. j.
Hagny, the present owner of the paper,
declines to make statement. Mr.. AL
len will take charge in about ten days.
He will make the Beacon an independ-
ent Republican paper.
The Beacon was founded by Frank B.
Smith. Later il was sold by him to J.
V. Farwell of Chicago. who bought it
for two nephews. They failed to make
the financial success of it that it had
been under Mr.. Smiths management
and it was sold to Peck and Richardson
of Chicago. They bought 1t during the
hard times, and later they resold to
Frank Smith for $4,000 the same paper
that he had sold to Mr.. FarwelI for
$4,000. He continued it until his death,
when H. ]. Hagny succeeded him. Since
it was repurchased by Mr.. Smith and
under Mr.. Hagny's management it has
been growing steadily until it now is
recognized as one of the best newspa-
per properties in the state. Several
times its present owner has refused Of
fers of from $4,000 to 100000 for it.
Mr.. Allen recently sold his ottawa
Herald and came to Wichita with the
intention either of buying the Beacon
or of starting another daily.
