Because Of You.

Sweet have | known the blossoms of
the morning,
Tenderly tinted to their heart of
dew.
But DOW my flowers have found full
er fragrance
Because Of you.
Long have | worshIped in my soul 5
enshnning,
High visions Of the noble and the
true;
Now all my aims and all my prayers
are purer
Because Of you.
In the long years Of silence that shall
part u,
Dimmed by my tears and darkened
to my view,
Close shall hold my memories and
my madness
Because of you.
Whether our lips shall touch or hands
shall hunger,
Whether our be fed or joys be
few,
Life will be sweeter and more worth
the living
Because Of you.

judges of the District court travelled on
free transportation and that they hadre-
cefved their passes this year as in years
past. He thought that the district court
judges were entitled to an increase in
pay.
Senator Getty declared that this argu-
ment was the most humiliating one ever
presented to the senate. IF it is true
said Getty, that judges are sitting on
the bench with their pockets full of
passes 1t is a condition that ought not
to maintain. 1 am surprised that any
one should raise the argument that
means that we, the legislature of Kan
sas, will not give our judges adequate
pay because of practical perquisites
they may receive from railroads or other
corporations"
Senator Simons' motion was lost
and then Senator Smith moved that
tho committee report that the house
bill be passed. There were twenty
one votes in favor of this motion. The
committee of the whole reported as
instructed and Senator Smith moved
that the bill have its third reading.
Senator Fitzgerald raised the point of
order that this was not regular. The
point of order was suspended. Senator
Smith then moved that the bill be
placed on it's third reading as a spec
ial order for 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning. This motion prevailed and
it is possible that the bill as passed by
the house will go through the senate.
The senate then adjourned at 2:55 I'M
til tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.

There was No Custard Pie.

One day five years ago a farmer
named William Thornton, living in
Indiana, had a feeling come over him
as he worked in his cornfield that he
should like custard pie for supper.
Most people will agree that as it was
only o'clock in the afternoon he
should have gone to the house and
made due arrangements, but he sim
ply longed for the pie and left Mrs.
Thornton in ignorance. 1t therefore
came about that when he went to the
house at 6 o'clock and washed up, and
sat down to the table, no custard pie
greeted him. He thereupon gave ut
terance TO his feelings, and while his
language was English his wife
thought it uncalled for.
1t is acknowledged on both sides
that a family row took place. The
farmer insisted that a wife who really
loved him would have had a big Gus
tard pie as centerpiece for supper,
and the wife argued that the hens had
stopped laying and that she couldn't
have made one without eggs anyhow.
When Mr.. Thornton had finished his
pieless supper he went out to hang
himself in the barn. Life was no longer
worth the living to him. While he was
getting the hangmans moose around
his neck a beam fell from above and
and fractured his skull. and an hour
later he wandered forth into the big
world as a-crazy man.
The wandering farmer was first
sent to the poor house. Then they
had him in an insane asylum. Later
on he was Jailed with a gang of
tramps Then he was found trying to
rob a bank and sent to prison for five
years. He was put at a turning lathe,
and only the other day, when his time
was almost up. a stick flew UP and
gave him crack on the head and re-
opened his old wound. The pressure
OF the skull on the brain was re-
lieyed, and the prisoner knew who he
was for the first time since he left
home. He was fixed up and sent home
to the wife who had long believed that
she was a widow, and the local paper
records that there was tears and sobs
and promises that the custard pie

ssHumiIiating'' Admission Concerning
Judges, says Getty.

As soon as the senate was called to
order at O'Clock this afternoon, the
question of increasing the justices
salaries, which was given Knockout
blow this morning. came up in an
other method of procedure.
The bill as it passed the house this
morning increases the salaries of the
supreme court justices to $4,000 a
year and there is a rider to it fncreas-
ing the pay of district judges to $4,000.
After brief sQuabble over the recep-
ton of the bill the senate resolved
itself into a committee of the whole,
with Senator Young again in the
chair. When this procedure had been
accomplished Senator Smith moved
that the house bill be substituted for
his bill, No.a10, which he introduced
yesterday increasing the pay of the
district Judges. as
] This Smith bill was a special order for
consideration this afternoon and If he
could get the house bill substituted why
the question of increasing the salaries
of the justices of the supreme court,
which was decided adversely on this
morning, would come up again.
There was lots of opposition. Senator
Simons moved that the propositions re-
iating to the supreme court justices and
the district court judges salaries, be de-
cided on their merits individually. Most
of the senators who spoke this morn
ing expressed their views again.
"A suggestion was made that instead
of increasing the pay of the judges of
the district court they be granted rail-
road fare. =
Senator Noftzger replied that this
would be unconstitutional. He said that

An Address of Welcome by Fred

The thirty-sixth annual meeting Of
the Kansas state board of agriculture
began with a preliminary session Wed
nesday afternoon, and a welcoming
meeting held in representative hall
last evening.
The first session devoted to the dis
cussion of subjects assigned to the va
rious speakers began In the supreme
court room today. Nearly the Whole
forenoon was devoted to the study OF
''Corn- Growing in Kansas.
The subject was introduced by M.
Mathewson of Topeka who read
carefully prepared article In whlch ne
related the history of the corn lnous-
try in Kansas briefly, and in which ne
advocated the use of pedigreed corn
for planting.
Mr.. Mathewson went into the meth
DDS of corn culture and the prepara-
ton of the soil for the reception of the
seed; into the methods OF retaining
the moisture and gaining the most ad-
vantage therefrom in the SOIL even
when the rainfall is irregular, or long
delayed.
After a complete discussion of the
problem Mr. Mathewson summed 1t
up by declaring that what the har-
vest shall be depends upon the man
behind the cultivator more than we
think"

STAHL is REELECTED.
VIII Have Charge of Washburn Ath-
Ietics Another Year.

At a meeting of the Washburn ath-
letic board this morning which was
held in Washburn chapel, Walter w.
Stahl who has acted as manager of
the Washburn athletics for the past
two years, was reelected and Will
have all charge of athletics for the
coming year. Stahl has acted as man
ager for the past two year and al
though handicapped by a large debt
which was overhanging the associa-
ton at the time he commenced his
duties, he has made a good record and
has always enjoyed the utmost con-
fdence of all the board which was
shown by his unanimous election this
morning.
Owing to the growing duties of the
manager it was decided that an as
sistant manager should be appointed
which should be approved by the
board. Mr.. Stahl appointed Ralph
Johnston to this position and the
board gave its approval. Johnston
has played first base on the baseball
team for two years and last fall he
made the right tackle position on the
football team. The election. Of both

1t is not improbable that, the two
managers will divide the work be-
tween them SO that each will have
exclusive charge of the different
branches of athletics. In the event of
such an arrangement Stahl would
probably have charge of football and
track athletics while Johnston would
likely be entrusted with the manage
ment of the baseball team. AS both
are student managers this arrange
