Democratic newspapers of the state
are advocating an early Democratic
convention and writing a platform
strictly in accordance with the square
dealers platform. This looks more
Ike a trick to embarrass the square
dealers than to secure the reforms
which we have stood for during the
past few years. If we are actually in
earnest about wanting a primary cleo
tion, a revision of the tariff, control
of the trusts and a few other things
which we are always harping about,
let's get in and help. even though the
other fellow gets the office and the
salary"

FOR A GIRL.

For a girl he vowed that he
Would go sailing DER the sea
For a girl he swore to win
Buckets full of gems and tin
For a girl!
For girl he sailed away
Ger the bounding deep that day.
Sailed the ocean wide and blue
Just as 1 would, dear for you
For a grill
For this girl he won the tin:
Then he sailed for home again (Poet's
license No. 6S4)
There before her azure eyes,
he laid his prize
For a grill
But she sDurned him with a smile
She had won a bigger pile
And she tied to him a can
just to wed richer man
For girl!
IT have naught of wealth for you,
But my love is pure and true;
Let US wed today, my dear
Then I'll sail without a fear
For g &irl.''
Sailors wives are sad,'' said she:
Better stay at home with mel
There are greater things than gold
Love and kisses are, hold
For a grill!
Then I pressed her to my breast
And her lips kissed with ZeSt!
M0ral-If YOU wed would be
Don't go chasing off to seal
For a girl!

FROM OTHER PENS
TRUTH-TELLING.

The test of a civilization is it's re-
gard for truth. Truth is nothing more
than honesty. Theshabit of telling the
truth begets accuracy of statement,
and the habit among a people of hear
Ing and expecting the truth produces
the truth. Honest men who have no
intent to deceive are called truthful,
but If they are lax and careless and
have been habituated to loose state
ments, and themselves place no great
value upon the truth for its own sake,
they are pretty sure to be inaccurate,
and, therefore, untrustw orthy. For
this reason, perhaps, Sir Walter Scott
declared that the right education for a
young man was to learn to fish and to
tell the truth.-Philadelph Ledger.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

IFrom the New York PresS1
A conscience is something to worry
you for fear you are going TO get
caught.
The rich would get terribly poor If
there weren't so many poor people to
make money for them.
A woman is afraid if she had on
clothes out of fashion at her funeral
they wouldn't let her into heaven.
The wife with theories that won't
work tries to make a man happy; the
successful one makes him comforta BILE.
A man thinks he is mighty generous
to his wife to make her an allowance
and then not give it TO her SO she can
think she is saving money.

Making FRIENDS with the wild Bird.

In Harper's for July, A. w. Dimock
writes of recent visit to one of the
islands Of the Everglades, where he
went to study the many kinds of wild
birds living there. No guns were fired,
and the birds seeing that no harm was
intended soon became tame.
Day after day we padded our canoe
in the little sloughs around and through
the rookery, and each day the birds
grew tanner. The camera-man waded
and climbed trees, cut poles and made
long legs for his camera, until he got
the views he wanted of eggs and young
birds, while the mother birds fused
around him and scolded at first, but
sometimes came back to their nests be-
fore the work was finished. Nature
worked daily miracles through these
young birds. One day they were egg
shaped pouches Of parchment. stuffed
by their parents with Jumps of dead
fish, and in few hours, by process SO
rapid as to be almost visible, they had
converted the offensive mass into liv-
ing flesh and feathers, and in few
days evolved form and beauty from
chaos of corruption. When the camera
man wanted young birds that had grad
uated from their nests, they had to be
chased through the swamp and follow
ed up the trees, and our hunter-boy
went up the latter like a squirrel and
sloshed through mud and water like an
otter, sometimes for long distance, but
ne always Drought OdCk even
If he had to cross deep sloughs to get
him. He taught the birds he caught to
pose by petting them and putting them
on the branches chosen by the camera
man, and when they scrambled away,
by catching them again, scolding theHa,
stroking them.
THE system never failed at the time,
but when afterwards we padded among
the nests, certain vociferous young
birds scrambled in haste from their
homes to the tops of the tallest trees,
and curlew matrons croaked from their
nests, Johnny can't pose today; ne
isn't feeling we'll" Birds too young to
get away were very friendly, and from
many nests our approach was nailed
with cries of welcome, and mouths open

tunfearful and as we fed their DaDies,
looked on with complacency If not graft
tlItle. One snake bird, or water-turkey,
which on our first call dropped from her
nest into the water in the clumsy fash-
inn OF her species, on our later visits
merely stepped aside and viewed with
approval our performance of her duty.
Her two youngsters used to stand on
the extreme edge of the nest, with WIDE
opened bills extended for the delicacies
we brought them, until one of them fell
into the water, and when we tried to
rescue him. gave a full-grown exhibition
of the AQUATIC skill whics was his in
heritance. That night he disappeared,
and we thought we knew the hawk that
got him but couldn't afford to destroy
With a gun the confidence, of our feather

KANSAS COMNENT
THE PROOF READER.

Z
A little news item from Topeka
is to the effect that A. G. Carruth has
resigned his position as proof reader
IN the state printing Office Not many
people will know what this means but
the fact is that the state of Kansas has
lost. For many years all the matter
printed for the state in all of it's de-
partments has gone before the eyes
of Carruth. There was a popular sup
position that he knew everything. He
has corrected the highest authorities
on their specialties and he has saved
many great man a humiliating
blunder. He has made weak state
nents strong and he has often gotten
the supreme court decisions into read
able English. He is a historian, a geo.
stands arts and sciences with all their
technical terms and peculiar verblage.
A good proof reader is one of the
scarcest of Gods works. 1t requires
ability, energy and industry to do the
job and a combination of these quail
ties such as are found in man like
Carruth would in other lines attract
the attention of the public, the pIaud-
its OF the people and the coin of the
realm. But the proof reader can new
er receive these tokens of apprecia-
ton, for his labor is to keep mistakes
from the public and to minimize the
errors he has rectifed. So it was that
Mr.. Carruth, learned and wise, was
friends and of the officials and men
with whom his work brought him in
contact. He resigns because he is
tired and wants rest. The last will
probably not long endure, for the ha-
bit of a lifetime to be useful and
busy will be hard to break.-Hutch-
inson News.
A HAM OPINION.
1t is amusing to see the apparent
serene confidence of the hackers of
Congressman Reeder. They speak of
