Teach your son that honor is to
be preferred above all Things. As
that of the two-life or honor-he
had better give up the former.
That no honorable man will ira
duce the character of another
That fair dealing III every line of
life is absolutely demanded, and
that without it, whatever apparent
success he may have, will be short
lived. Teach him that truth is
mighty; that falsehood will fail
sooner OF later. That vile epithets
and abuse emanatas from the VI
cious and corrupt. That failure
is much to be preferred to victory
won at the sacrifice of principle.
Teach him to maintain his con.
victions with manly dignity and

Space is very large. 1t is i'm

deal of immensely exists in space.
Space has no top, no bottom. In
fact, it is bottomless both at the
bottom and at the top. Space ex-
tends as far forward as it does
backward, vice versa. There is no
compass of space, nor points of

HE SAVED MONEY.

About three weeks ago John J.
Jackson, an old citizen of Heard
county, died suddenly on his farm
near Centralhatchee. He was
known to be miserly in his habits,
and exhibited other eccentricities
that frequently puzzled his neigh
bors, but was generally thought to
be poorly provided with "this
worlds goods" The astonish-
ment of his relatives, therefore,
may we'll be imagined when, upon
examining his effects, they found
concealed in various hooks and
crannies about the premises the
sum of 5000 in greenbacks and
gold. Some of the greenbacks
were of the first series issued by
the government I'm 1869, and
there were also a number of gold
coins of different denominations
among the latter being forty-eight
one dollar pieces. The dead man
was the father-in-law of Mr.. T. A.
Hutchens, of Welcome, whose chill.
dren will share in the distribution
of the estate. Newman Herald.

Ed Grooms is a negro who lives
IN Alexandria, Va. Ed owns a
dog. The police the other day
asked Ed if he had a license for
his dog He hadn't. He was told
that he would have to procure one.
He didn't have the money. "Then
you will have to kill the dog" he
was told. "No, sub, boss" said
Ed, dat dog is my fiien'." "You
will have to pay the tax, kill the
dog or go to the changing for ten
days to work out the fine" said
the police. "l'll take de gang
boss, said Ed. And he did. The
dog is alive and happy, and
Grooms will go back to him in a
day or two, if he hasn't done SO
already. The bond of friendship
between the negro and bis dog,
which made the former willing "a

is one of the touches of nature that
makes the whole world kin.

A few doses Of this remedy will in
variably cure an ordinary attack OF
diarrh9a.
1t can always be depended upon,
even in the more severe attacks OF
cramp collie and cholera morbus.
It is equally successful for summer
diarrhoea and cholera infantum in
children, and is the means of saving
the lives of many children each year.
When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take.

In 1905 the Illinois legislature
passed an act providing for the
payment to the heirs of any per
son lynched the sum Of s., 900.
upon legal showing. The law
has remained practically a dead
letter upon the statute books. The
families of the Springfield victims,
it is said, will appeal to the new
law and demand 5000 each for
the negroes killed by the mobs
during the past few days. The
law says the payment shall be
made out of the funds of the coun.
ty IN which the lynching occurs.
Already five of the Springfield vic.
Tins are dead, while several others
have been SO badly injured that
they may die. Should the tax
payers be called upon to pay s25,.
600, or $50, 900, or $40, 900, for the
revelry in blood that has ensued,
they would doubtless begin to look
upon lynchings in a new light.

tion st not 10 exceed per cent But
this feature vas overlooked and q law
passed with armor pla,e attachments,
and twelve inch gun inquisitiveness,
without limiting the powers OF the tax

Ing THE undigested law drew nigh, the
omission became so apparent and alarm
Ing that special session Of the legisla-
ture was called largely to allay the

writer had an interview with the

burden Of taxation that might be en-
forced The special session met the
isaue fairly and taxes, for 1908 only,

OFFICIAL COUNTY and CITY PAPER
THURSDAY, DECEMBER "a. 1908
An IMPORTANT QUESTION.

One OF the most serious questions
before the Legislature Is receiving very
little attention. ltis the question of taxa
tIon and affects every property owner,
which means practically every citizen q
Kansas. The problem becomes danger-
ous because the taxable valuation has
Just been increased eight times. The
rate should 70 down to oue-eight and
has done so this year. But the tendency
10 the legislature, In every city council,
In every township board, in every sch oi
board, will be to rsiss more money
because 1t ID so easy to do by increasing
the per cent q small fraction. Sucn d
raise 10 rate will not only Increase taxes,
but 1t will work both ways. 1t will n
followed by attempts to evade ASSESS
ment, attempts that will not be made so
long as the rate is reasonable.
A very fair statement with q warning
stinger attached 10 contained In the
following letter Ct J. D. Bowersock,

Journal:
Now and then, because many Of .ae
people are deeply Interested, you refer
to the new tax law. You call 1t on the

sary provision. The reformer seldom

John Francis, chairman, and begged
