Would you take
And push a spring lawn mower
For her sake?
If she OverlOOks your fdilngs
And responds to all your wailings,
Would you paint the garden palings

When the sooty stove-pipe bearing,
Would you quake?
Beat the carpet without swearing
For her sake?
If you wouldn't, don't invite her
To the picnic-cease to write her;
For this life would be no brighter

than simply being at the front, and
cannot better express my sentiment
toward you old settlers and pioneers
than to quote from Thomas Carlyle:
Two men I honor, and no third.
First, the toil-worn craftsman that
with earth-made implements labori-
ously conquers the earth and makes
her mans. Venerable to me is the
hard hand; crooked, coarse; wherein
Notwithstanding lies cunning virtue,
indefeasibly royal, as of the scepter
of this planet. Venerable, too, is the
rugged face, all weather-tanned, be-
soiled, with its rude intelligence; for
it is the face Of a man living manlike.
OH but the more venerable for thy
rudeness, and even because we must
pity as we'll as love thee, hardly-en-
treated brother. For US was thy back
so bent, for US were thy straight limbs
and fingers SO deformed; thou vert
our conscript on whom the lot fell,
andfghting our battles vert so marred.
For in thee, too, lay God-created
form, but it was not to be unfolded;
encrusted must it stand with the thick
adhesions and defacements of labor.
To illustrate my attitude with YOU
organization l will have to tell you q
little story, and then tell you my appli-
cation of it:
Some years ago Judge M. R. Waite,
an eminent jurist and at one time chic
justice of the United States supreme
court, with several other lawyers was
attending term of court in a small
town in Illinois. 1t was exceedingly
cold. After the judge and the lawyers
had supper, they were assembled in q
close circle before a blazing wood fire
when a stranger rode up to the hote,
and dismounted. After removing his
overcoat and overshoes he was ushered
by the landlord into a cold dining room
for supper, without having an opportu-
nifty to thaw out. When the stranger
came out from supper there was nc
move on the part Of the lawyers to open
the circle and give him a place before
the fire. Having the appearance of &
well-to-do farmer, the lawyers thought
to have a little fun with him; where
upon one of them interogated him as
to the condition of the roads; to which
he replied that they were simply horri'
BILE, were the worst he ever saw, worse
than hell" Judge Waite turned tc
him and said:
my dear sir, you speak as one ia.
miliar with hell. How are things dowr
there2"
'Oh," the stranger said, 1t is there
just like it is everywhere else; the law
yers are always next to the fre!''
The circle was Immediately enlarged
and an opening made for the strangel
to get next to the fire.
Now, when l have earned the righ
to wear your badge, if the by law
(which you contemplate adopting thi!
afternoon) are not too stringent as tt
moral character, your circle will BIZ
enlarged and there will be an opening
for me to come in. Thank you.

J. D. WEHRLE QUITS MEADE
The Founder OF The News Goes To
Wichita And Enters Mer-
camille Line

Mr.. ]. D. Wehrle, founder of the
Meade County News, has accepted
position with large dry goods
house in Chicago.
Mr.. Wehrle grew up in Meade,
took the high school course, and
on his graduation entered the print
ing business at the bottom, the case.
From there he worked his way up
to head printer, ad, and job man.
Eleven years ago he founded the
News as Democratic paper, and
from the start made good. Those
first years were hard ones with Mr..
Wehrle, but he had the ability, the
knowledge of the business, and the
grit to succeed and he did succeed.
In the early part of last June he
sold the paper, subscription list,
and good will to the Meade Publish
ing Company. He has remained as
matter of accommodation up to
last Saturday. Tuesday of this
week he went on to his new work.
Practically all of Johns life has
been spent here, as boy and man he
has been constantly in the printing
business for 10 years.
The city and county loses valu
able citizen, an energetic and pub
lie spirited business man, and the
printing business competent print
er, and forceful editor.
John has tired of the printing
business although it has been his
stepping stone to a career which if
followed up would have placed him
we'll at the head of the country pap
ers of the state, He has merchant
blood in his veins, and the call of
the business became SO urgent that
he fell out of the ranks of the printers
to take his place in the line of mer-
chants.
For him his host of friends thro'
the county and the southwest part
of the state wish him all the success
possible in his new venture.
His brothers of the stick and rule
bids him good bye, not without
hopes, for once printer. always a
printer, is the rule, and they hope
some time to welcome him back as
brother returned to his first love.
We have known him since he was
little boy and it is with sincere re-
greet and the best wishes for his future
that we see him leave our town for
his home in larger city.

The Agricultural Exhibit
at Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune, in view of
the lack of accurate information as
to the possibilities of the country
west of the Mississippi river and es-
pecially west of the Missouri riv-
er, conceived the idea of an sgricul-
tural exhibit in the Coliseum in that
city. This has taken active form,
the building has been leased, and
plated. Space has been leased, by
different sections of the country in
terested.
Meade county, as the representa-
tive county of the southwest part of
Kansas, has secured space just with
in the main entrance, and along one
of the main aisles. The plan is to
show within this space every sort
and kind of agricultural product of
the county, together with literature
describing the country, its advan-
tages, resources, with buildings,
flowing wells, and growing crops,
with other things of interest. Far
mers who may have seeds, grains,
forage crops or vegetables, and
fruits worthy to be exhibited should
bring samples to the committee OF
which A. 1. Bodle, Jr is president
and L. +. Schumacher is secretary.
Each specimen shown will be
plainly marked with the name of the
donor, his post Office address, and
the legal description of the land on
which the specimen was grown.
his will be done SO that anyone so
desiring may write to the party di-
rect, for any thing in reference to
the specimen or the authenticity of
the exhibit.
The president or secretary in
Meade, will direct persons who
have specimens of any kind where
to deliver same.
Those taking them 10 Fowler
should see Mr.. Stanton at the Gaz-
cite Office. Just who the active
members of the committee at Plains
are, we have been unable to learn
but MIR. Parsons could no doubt
take care of them for the present or
direct one to the proper person.
