"A $500 motor car" says the Cool
idge Enterprise, "does not give a man
liberty to put on $4,000 airs"
An Atchison man was asked IL he
thought the fire in his place of bust
ness a few nights ago was of incendi-
airy origin. Either that. or some
blamed scoundrel set 1t on fire." the
man replied.
while a father will admit that his
son Is pretty smooth and popular with
the women folks and all that" says
the Erie Record, "he secretly believes
that he isn't a patchin' to what he
himself was when he was a young
man."
Emmett Dalton recently visited Cof-
feyvflle and walked through the alley
In which his brothers were shot.
Since the time of the robberies," re-
marks the Salina Journal, "the alley
has been used chiefly by men who
were only half shot"
1t is narrated in the Wichita Eagle
that Graham county is covered with
the carcasses of rabbits which were
storm which visited that country. The
stencil arising from the dead animals
has driven the farmers from the fields.
A Lawrence plumber has been en-
tertaining crowds by swimming over
the Bowersock dam. thus" says Bert
Miller, d1spell1ng the ancient illusion
that the only thing a plumber knows
to do by way of relaxation is to sit
down and smoke while the helper goes
back after the monkey wrench"
There is rightly a difference of
opinion as to whether the Salina re-
porter knew what he was trying to
say when he wrote: HE was arrest
ed by Policeman Stonebraker about
noon who haw him pass a person on
"a sidewalk without r
ing, while sitting on his porch at
home"

GLOBE SIGHTS.
IFrom the Atchison Globe. ]

What is a music box good for. ex-
cept to be ratified off.
We never knew a woman to admit
that she ever learned anything from
her cook.
The more worthless man is, the
harder it Is for the police to keep him
away from town.
Every time a boy carries a package.
the one receiving it asks: "Why didn't
you bring 1t sooner.
Nearly every man who is a fool has
faint suspicion of it. but in trying to
prove that he is not a fool, he gets in
deeper.
A woman's popularity in society de-
ponds upon her keeping her complexion
good. and a mans upon remaining
single.
An Atchison man is beginning to
pay the same respectful attention to a
dime he used to pay to a dollar, and
people say 1t is a sign he is getting
rich.
If a man has good luck in marrying
his daughters well, 1t is worth more
than a fortune to him. To have a
daughter marry a worthless man is
worse in it's after effects than 1t Is to
have business failure.
There is one important difference be-
tween girl and boy: A boy is always
satisfied with his name. Whoever
heard of a boy named Jacob changing
it to Rupert" or Reginald" when
he was grown.
An Atchison man once asked a wo-
man to marry him. and on her refusal
married some one else. Years passed
his wife died, and after an effort, he
succeeded in hunting up his first love-
But he didn't marry her when he found
her: he married her daughter.
The refreshments at surprise party
are never very good. Every girl knows
that her paper bag will be put with
a lot of other paper bags in the kitchen
and no one will know that she brought
mouldy doughnuts and cake they
wouldn't eat at home. There is fun in
a surprise party, but very little to eat.

Poverty Is the one luxury the rich

Speech that is too fiowery should be

An agitation has been started in
Wichita for the calling of another spec
ial election to vote on the proposition
of changing the form of the citys gov
eminent to that of the commission
plan. Such a project was defeated at
a special election held some time ago.
One thing is certain. In view of the
action of the members of the Wichita
council in removing from the city's
statute books the ordinances looking
towards a proper enforcement of the
prohibitory law, a change in the meth
cd OF the government of the city is
sorely needed.

A SATURDAY SERMON.

1 To everything there Is season. and a
time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to love. Ecclesiastes III. and s.
| Older than history has been the
watching and waiting for the early
summer. the call Of the dove. the cry
of the whippoorwill, the songs Of the
birds in the forests and fields, and for
the breath Of flowers exhaIing from
the barren earth.
From earliest times the hearts of
lovers beat more passionately with the
climbing of the sun toward the zenith.
the songs of praise rose with fresh
exultation when violets bioomed and
the blood Of youth ran riot when the
first real warmth awoke the sleeping
woods.
We are as much and truly parts of
what we call Nature as the trees and
flowers, and the tide Of vitality Gibbs
and flows in us as 1t GIBBS and flows in
the world about us.
The life within leaps up to the cry
of the life without as the heart of man
responds to the heart of it's fellow af-
ter long separation.
Half the JOY of early summer is in
the senses and half in the spirit. But
the JOY Of the spirit is deeper and
fuller Of mystery. for it is to the spirit
that the symbolism Of the season is
made clear.
OF this tide Of life which keeps the
world abloom. the divinist form is love.
In love, and in love alone, life fulfills
and reveals itself.
Whether love steals through the
senses or storms through them with the
impetuosity Of passion, its supreme joy
is always for the spirit, and that JOY
arises out of the sense of immortality.
When love comes every hour is full
of the intimations Of the fathomless
life which rises into consciousness in
the soul of man.
Every touch of beauty is a hint OF
loneliness not to be discerned by the
eye but revealed to the imagination.
Every experience is a door through
which the spirit passes on into the
fuller possession OF a happiness that
fills the air of the world with a sweet
ness whose roots are below the reach
of time and change.
No heart that knows love can look
at death without looking beyond it.
None can shut his eyes so tight as
not to see in the early summertime
smile of nature the deathlessness of
life and the ever watchful love of God.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-06-27

Since John d. Rockefeller has gotten
over his coyness and has unbosomed
a few Of his thoughts to a more or less
eager public he has said some things
which are not only interesting but
which are also worthy of attention. He
has not said anything. however, more
pertinent than his remarks to the Bap-
fist pastors. who recently gathered at
a reception in Cleveland. He told them
that he believed the Christian ministers
Disseminated against the very rich in

Not only is it now the time for all

Most everyone will express the opin-
ion that the Citizens bank of Dover,
KY, which failed on Monday last, did
not close its doors any too soon. An
examination of its affairs on that day
by a committee of the directors dis
closed the fact that there was not a
single piece Of paper money nor a sin
gle coin of any denomination, even as
small as a one cent piece. in the tills
or the safe of the institution. Fortu-
nately 1t was a small bank with de-
posits amounting to only $1,000.

Notwithstanding the unusually heavy
rains which have prevailed in various
parts Of the state, particularly in the
eastern section and which have done
considerable damage to the wheat and
corn, 1t is quite evident from the esti-
mates of F. d. Coburn, the secretary
OF the Kansas department of agricul-
ture, that this years crops of these
golden products of Kansas soil will be
sufficiently large to enable this state to
retain her proud title as the banner
cereal state of the Union. And there
Is the great satisfaction that these es-
Inmates of Mr.. Coburn are absolutely
reliable. So three cheers again for
Kansas and her corn and wheat.
