One of these persisted tongues is
the Kansas language, declares the
New York Mail. Fifty years ago it
was spoken by large tribe of Indians
who lived west of the Missouri River.
Kansas" and "Kaw" were originally
the same word; one form it survives
in the name of great State, but the
other is commonly applied to the In
dams of the tribe. These Kansas In
dians did not possess linguistic
stock of their own. Their language
belonged to the Siouan group, though
it would have been unintelIigible to a
Sioux of Dakota, Scattered repre-
sentatives of the race survive, One
of them is a Senator of the United
States-Curtis, of Kansas. But they,
like the Senator, have forgotten the
Kansas speech. Not even a fragmen-

The inaugural address of President
Harry A. Garfield, of Williams Col
lege, at the induction exercises was
remarkable for the ringing announce
ment it contained of the chief end of
the American college, which was de-
scribed as the training of citizens to
citizenship. Scholarship is good,
healthful sport is good, excellent also
is the stimulus to moral and spirit
ual culture, but, protests the Boston
Globe, the sum of these elements of
training is the high conception of in
dividual and collective responsibility
for the well-being of the nation

1t is not every one who sleeps at night
in such place as Brentwood, and can
have Coniston morning to greet his
vision when he awakes and opens his
windows. But there is glory enough
in the morning anywhere to start our
hearts singing at the dawn of the day,
if only we would look out. 1t would
be we'll If all of us could be awakened
every morning with the call, Are
you looking out?" There is always
something worth seeing if we would
draw our curtains and look out.
This is true not only of nature, but
of all the experiences of life. We
allow ourselves to be too much i'm
pressed by somber views. We let the
troubles and the unpleasant things
bulk too largely in our vision. We.
live too much indoors, with our own
frets and cares. If every morning
we would fling open our windows and
look out on the wide reaches of Gods
love and goodness we could not help
singing. Some one writes: Many
day would be brighter If begun
with some thought in the heart that
might open the door to a nobler
vision of life, and would not some

Our lives are all too apt to run in
grooves, and often they are very mar
row grooves, indeed. Yet all about
us are scenes of beauty, not in ma
ture alone, but in the lives of our
fellow men. Often in the most I'M
expected places, in some nook or
Granny of nature that seemed only
forbidding, we shall find some bios
som of rarest fragrance. IN those
quiet hours of meditation, when our
hearts reach up to the great heart of
God, we may stand upon the noun

of that land which too often seems
afar off. Are you looking out?"-

Slain and Cast Overheard.

Elmer Conover, whose body was
found floating in Beach Thorough
fare, near Long Bend Point, was MUIR
dered 1t was thought at first that he
had killed himself by shooting. Coun-
ty Physician Lerouder's autopsy
showed that Conover had been struck
in the corner of the right eye with
some blunt instrument, and that the
shock had produced paralysis and
complete stoppage Of the heart action.
The small hole at the back of the
head over the right ear, which was at
first believed to have been made by
bullet in its exit, was only a small in
dentation, probably caused by contact
with the ground when Conover fell
after being struck. The police be-
lieye that Conover was murdered in
Atlantic City and his body carried to
the point where it was found and
thrown overheard. Conoyer was last
seen by his brother Charles when he
left the latter's house about $50 at
night. He said he was going straight
home. He never reached there.

MIDLAND JUBILEE SINGERS.
Next Number Of Lecture Course al
Opera House December a..

The next number of the Citi-
zens' lecture course will be
the appearance at the opera
house Friday evening, Decem-
Der 4, of the Midland jubilee
singers.
The company is composed of
Willetta Campbell, soprano;
Carolyn Dixon, contralto;
Vreen Marshall, first tenor; G..
Dickerson, second tenor; Exc
dus, baritone and reader; w. A.
Ham, basso; A. E. Shepard,
guitar and accompanist. Mr..
Ham is director and mana ger.
They come very highly re-
commended and have made an
enviable reputation during the
past few years. They have fl
led hundreds of winter engage
ments and have sung at twenty
or more chautauquas each
summer.
The Bedford Gowa) Free
Press says of the Midland jubi-
lee singers: They are all fine
singers, and their voices blend
in splendid harmony. They are
high-class, college people; they
do not condescend to the trashy
music SO often given by jubilee
companies, but are making a
record for the best in their line.
The company has been very
much appreciated here, grow
ing in popularity with each
appearance till the climax last
night, when they simply took
the audience by storm. Many
were the requests received for
their continuation longer with
us. They are without doubt
the best jubilee company that
ever visited Bedford, and we
have had some good ones
before. Mr.. Ham the mana
ger deserves congratulation
upon his fine company, both
because of their ability and
cultured conduct. They will
be welcomed back to Bedford
at any time"

the animal but he died before
brought to the surface. The

WHEN BRIGHAM swoRE.
Story Of Mormon, Prophet Applied to
FactlonaI Politics.

When reading the insurgent
newspapers justification of the
knitting of part of the republi-
can primary nominees by their
followers and their denuncia-
ton of the stalwarts for alleged
failure to support the entire
ticket, we were reminded of a
story about old Brigham Young,
the multi -matrimonialist who
at one time was the head of the
Mormon church.
1t seems the old fellow was
haranging his followers in the
great Mormon bower meeting
place in Salt, Lake City. He
was not in good humor and
continually found fault with
his congregation, dwelling at
length upon their shortcomings.
He was standing behind a big
rough, pine desk says the re-
lator of the story, and wore
mixed suit of ill-fitting clothes.
While storming at his audience
and raving up and down the
platform his old-fashioned black
satin vest caught on a big
silver on the desk and was torn
about six inches. Stopping
short and glaring at his
audience like an enraged lion,
he burst forth in a departure
from ordinary pulpit oratory:
There, there is some of your
negligence, Cd d-n, it!
You have torn the vest of the
prophet of the Lord!" Then
after pausing moment he
continued, "Some of the mem
bers of this audience may call
that swearing, but those words
are not when used by Gods
prophet.
The insurgent scribes would
have us believe that the mem
bers of that faction who put the
gaff into the stalwarts on the
ticket were actuated by purely
patriotic motives. They praise
the infidelity of the boilers yet
condemn the stalwarts who are
guilty of no greater crime.
The Courant does not believe
in making this distinction. If
it was wrong for a stalwart to
vote for democrat, it was
equally wrong for an insur-
gent. Both were actuated by
the same motives. The attempt
of the insurgent bosses to cover
the misdeeds of their followers
with rags of righteousness is
making them the laughing
stock of all those who know
the inside history of the cam
paign just passed. AS our
contemporary would say:
They must think the people
are easy.
