The Watered Lilies,

A beautiful lesson is taught in til
following poem, which in the sermo
on Sunday morning DR.. Watson T
Duncan, of the Methodist church, ha
occasion to use, and on account of II
truth and sweetness we take pleasur
in reproducing it:
The Master stood In his garden
Among the lilies so fair,
Which bis own right ma nd bad planted
And trained with the tenderest care.
He looked at their snowy blossoms,
And marked with observapt eye,
That bis flowers we're sadly dropping,
For their leaves were parched ana cry.
my lilies need 10 he watered,"
The Heavenly Master said:
"Wherein shall I draw II for them
And raise each dropping head?"
Close at bis feet, on the pathway.
Empty. and frall, and small,
An eartheu vessel vas lying,
Which seemed of no use at all.
But the master saw and raised 1t.
From the dust In which II lay,
And smiled as he gently whispered. .
"This shall do my work today.
II Ia but an earthen vessel,
J But 1t lay so close to me;
1t Ia small, but 1t is empty, =.
Which is all II needs 10. be-"
So to the fountain he took II.
And filed II to the brim.
How glad was the earthen vessel
To be some use to him!.;
He poured forth the living water
Over his lilies fair,
Until his vessel was empty,
And again be filed II there.
He watered the dropping lilies
Until they revived again,
And the master saw with pleasure,
That bis labor had not been vain.
His own hand had drawn the water
Which refreshed The Thirsty flowers, a.,
But be used the earthen vessel,
To convey the living showers.
And 10 itself II whispered,
AS he laid II aside once more.
"Still will ! lie In his pathway,
just where ] did before.
Close would ] keep TO the Master,
/ Empty would l remain.
And perhaps some day he may use me
To water his flowers again."

Within the Reach of All,

The gift Of beauty lies within the reach

Your candid mirrors, showing but how
plain

TO listen to the lesson I would teach.
The best cosmetics in the heart and

Their beauty bringing qualities obtain;
Laboratories wonderful are each.
A noble impulse in the cause Of right,
With finer fairness. dowers the humblest

Pure thoughts and self forgetting love

The homeliest features with a heavenly
grace,
Lending q loveliness not ages night
Nor even Death himself shall quite e6-

A Great Hearted Little Man.

There is an s-year-old boy in Emporia
with o heart in him as big as q mans,
says q Kansas exchange. Observing for
successive asgs another boy 8 years OLD
carrying big bundles Of clothes, which his
mother washed In order to earn o support
for him and her, an idea struck him that
8 nice little red wagon would tighten his
burden. So he went among his friends
and collected SLIGO In nickels, and with
this he bought the little wagon and gave
1t to the washerwoman's boy for q Christ

COL. L. p. TARLETON FOR RAIL.
ROAD COMMISSIONER

The Republicans of the Second
Railroad Commissioner District
(Which includes this county,, have
had the name of Col. l.. P. Tarleton
placed upon the ballots, by petition
for the November election as their
candidate for the position of Railroad
Commissioner in opposition to Col.
c. C. McChrd. the Democratic candi-
/. date and present member.
Col. Tarleton is lawyer of ability
and a fine business man. He served
as sheriff of Fayette county for one
term, and discharged the duties with
signal success. He has been resi-
dent of this county for over twenty
years. and is a prominent and sue
cessful breeder of thoroughbred
horses. Being a heavy shipper over
the railroads he is well fitted to fill
the place, and is, withall, polished
gentleman.

TARLETON FOR RAILROAD CON-
MISSIONER.

The nomination OF Llewllyn Tarle-
ton, of Frankfort, as candidate for
Railroad Commissioner under the
Log Cabin in the Second District is
to be commended as a wise step upon
the part of the Republicans in that
electrral divisino. Mr.. Tarleton is a
little late in entering the field but
his personal strength and popularity
will largely overcome any handicap
that may be due to delay.
THE Herald has from the first
taken the position that no Office in
this fight should be uncontested. In
the case in question the close affilia-
tion of Mr. McChord, the Democratic
nominee and present incumbent of
the Commissionership, which the ma
chine made it doubly important that
his return to Office should not go un-
challenged.
Mr. Tarleton is an attorney of
splendid ability, who, during his ca
reer as a soldier in the ranks of the
Republican party, has never mani
tested any indication of greed for
Office or emolument. He has been
high in the councils of the national
party, representing the State at the
big conventions and being consulted
on framing the platforms upon which
Republican victories have been won
He is well fitted by training and ex-
perience TO occupy the Office for
which he is now the nominee.
I'm the second District Mr.. Tarlton
is well and favorably known. He has
always enjoyed the confidence of his
associates and neighbors, and is free
from any affiliation which clques or
factions that might incur personal an
tagonism or arouse prejudice. =
