What a man will chiefly remember
in looking over his past life are his
visions OF God.
One of the great delights of old
age is to trace the fulfllment Of
Gods promises. That will be also
one of the chief delights of heav-
en-.
There never yet was a godly life
that did not find God kinder than he
even hoped He would be.
The wise man will see the angels
at work In his life, and will under
stand that he has not accomplished
his own salvation, but has been re.
deemed.
Suggestions.
Jacob learned Gods friendship by
becoming friendless, and His power
by becoming weak

The new electrical test of d. Me-
greano, a French electrician, distin-
guishes between different mineral
waters, and detects limitations. 1t
consists simply in measuring the cleo
trical resistance, which proves to be
very constant for the water of any
spring at a given temperature, but
varies greatly for different springs.
Samples from the leading continental
springs, for instance, gave resistances
per cubic centimetre ranging from
27.5 to 1880 ohms.

A certain class OF newspaper men
assert that a farmer is the most in
dependent man on earth, and that he
has nothing to do but to enjoy life
That when winter comes and the
billiards. on the wing he toasts his
feet in the oven and reads the local
newspaper and the only thing that
disturbs him is call three times a
day to banquet of mince pies and
other Injuries. It's a mistake. The
Industrious farmer begins work long
before the sun thinks of getting up.
With his soul shrouded in gloom
he proceeds to build a fire and soften
his boots with sledge hammer. He
then takes u lantern and shovels his
way to the barn and feeds the hogs.
1t is then time to feed the newly ar
rived calf, which seems TO delight in
butting Il pail of milk over the tiIler
OF the soil until he only needs to be
stamped to pass for package of oleo-
margarine. He crawls through a
barbwire fence and digs the hay out
of the snow, feeds the COWS, cleans
the stable, gathers up the frozen
chicks, chases stray pig worth 25
cents for four miles, and does not
catch it, doctors a sick horse, freezes
his fingers, gets kicked by one-eyed
old mule, and when the cleaning
comes meditates and wonders how he
will pay his taxes.-Brown County

RlNkER MUST PAY FINE
OF $500 AND COSTS.
Federal Appellate Court Affirms Judgment
of United States Court Here.

Word has been received by United

James Nj. Rinker of Wa-Keeney on a
charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails had been affirmed
by the United States Court of APP
peals for the Eighth district. Rinker
will be directed 70 surrender himself
TO United States Marshal Mackey and
pay the penalty within 80 days after
tue mandate of the court is received
here.
Rinker is a prominent farmer and
stockman in the western part of the
State. Ee was indicated by a feder-
al court jury at Leavenworth on Oc-
tober 10, 1904. charging the offense
above cited on two counts. FL was
accused of sending an improper letter
to Miss Mable Ashcroft of Wa-Kee-
ney on August 10, 1904, and another
to Miss Cosie Jones of the same place.
Rinker is 43 years old and has wife
and seven children, the oldest of
whom is 20 years of age. He had been
mentioned at one time as probable
candidate on the Democratic ticket
for members of the lower house of
the State Legislature. He was said
TO be a man of especially high stand
ing in that community.
Rinker was tried and convicted in
the United States Court in Topeka
and his sentence was pronounced on
April ID, 1905. Argument of the case
before the Court Of Appeals was made
by Judge J. s. West, present district
attorney for the United States

A Warning.

The newspapers have a habit of
OVERRIDING nearly everything they
attempt. They are OVERRIDING their
attacks on railroads. The Globe
doesn't receive a single railroad pass,
and it hasn't Il single railroad con-
tract for advertising. 1t receives not
dollar from any source from rail-
road company, yet it realizes that
railroads are necessary to the devel-
opment and prosperity of the ceun-
try. While the railroads should be
operated in a spirit of fairness and
liberality, they can be bounded to a
point where the country will suffer.
That point has been nearly reached
now unless we are mistaken. News
papers that are in the enjoyment of
profitable monopolies are demanding
that the business of the railroads be
regulated by law. Many of the pro-
posed regulations are impudent, I'M
fair and troublesome, and not in the
interest of the people The editors
forget that the man who invests in
railroad stocks has the same right to
Square Deal as the man who in
NCoO % III al Va jam
ing operations, or business operations
of any other kind.
Just now we have prosperity, but Il
period of depression comes, railroads
will not be so prosperous as they have
been of late years. During the dull
times of Il few years ago, railroad in-
vestments suffered, and they will suf-
fer again. Because passenger fares
are two cents a mile in some of the
thickly populated states, it does not
follow that two cents a mile is a re-
munerative rate in Kansas, where
the population is small and scattered.
These things should be considered.
1t has been stated by railroad men
that because of VICIOUS attacks on
railroads, investors are timid, and
that it is difficult TO find additional
, money with which IT, make needed
Improvements. We can easily be-
lieve this is true.
Should the people whip the rail-
roads to a point where it becomes
cruelty and unfair? That is the
question: Compel railroad managers
TO be fair, certainly, but don't hold
them up as mercilessly and unfairly
as ever Jesse James and his associates
did. = Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe,
February I, 1907.
