The Baby.

How strange II seemed to wake last night
And hear the baby ~breathe-the room
Under the night lamps shaded light
Wrapped softly In gentle gloomi
What mystic wonder stirred us then.
With Joy and love what mingled awe.
Before this little slumberer, when
The fower-llke face we dimly saw!
A moment there we hung appalled,.
Fearing to read in life's long scrolls .
Fate of this soul that we had called
Out of the Vastly deep OF souls.
Perhaps the Lord of Being bent
That instant to our sudden PRAYER
For still the low breath came and went.
But peace and blessing filed the air.

Bazaar.

PRESSED HARD.

Comee's Weight ON Old Age.
When prominent men realize the In.
furious effects Of coffee and the change
An health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent of public schools
In North Carolina says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, vas an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for q number of years, and complained
OF that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago, ] was making an
Official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. / noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the crI-
fee, and asked HIM concerning it, He
replied that 1t was Postum.
II was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, / bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked 1t so+well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not 81 frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest OF us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
fly, but not in so marked a degree as
I'm the case OF my mother, as she was a
victim Of long standing"

An enterprising farmer of Hamilton

Early in the saddle, Colonel Sullivan

of the mountain, and the lark saluting
the newborn radiance with q song at

Bale rode behind him, taciturn. COM

hills with these greener wales. They
reached the hedge tavern, where the
mare had been seized, and they STAYED
to bait their horses. but got no news.
About s they rode on, and Ave long
Irish miles nearer Tralee they viewed
from the crest OF a hill a piece Of road
stretched ribbonlike before them, and
on Il a man walking from them at a
great pace. He had for a companion a
boy who trotted beside him.
Neither man nor boy looked back, and
Il did not seem to be from fear of the
two riders that they moved so quick
ly. The man wore a loose drugget coat
and ar old jockey cap, and walked with
q stout six-foot stan. Thus armed he
should have stood in small fear of rob-
bers. Yet when Colonel Johns horse,
/ the tread Of Its hoofs deadened by the
sod road, showed it's head at his Shout
der, he turned a face OF more vivid
alarm than seemed necessary. And he
crossed himself.
Colonel John touched his hat. 'I give
you good morning, good man." he said.
The walker raised his hand to his
cap as IL to return the salute. but low
cred 1t without doing so. He muttered
something.

HYHAWKER JOTS

According to the Tribune one Great
Bend man is of so little Importance
that the people still call his wife Miss
Mary"
mo Matter How Hungry a Horse
May Become, 1t Cannot Eat a Bit" is
the title of a new song that has reach
ed Atchison.
Wichita is reputed to be as dry as a
bone, liquorally speaking. Yet an Ell
Dorado business man who visited there
recently forgot the name of the bank
with which he did business and didn't
remember it until he was arrested for
passing a check on a bank where he
had no account.
James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, spent thirty minutes in Topeka
one day last week. On the same day
he spent one hour in Hutchinson. This
shows which town the great represen-
tative of the British government con-
siders to be worth while, says the
Wichita Eagle in whose city Mr.. Bryce
didn't stop a minute.
An independence woman wants
divorce from her husband on the
grounds that he refused to let her re-
ceive letters from her girlhood friends
and wouldn't let her take the Ladies
Home Journal. And last but not least,
he wouldn't take baths himself. The
first two claims support the charge of
cruelty and the last one the charge of
NEGLECT.

| was it not a monument showing the
prosperity of our own town and the
prominence of the calling to which
nave devoted more than a quarter OF
century of my life and to which / ex-
pect to devote my remaining days.
This Capper building is known to
us on the State Journal as the Cap
per-Heinz block because here Arthur
Capper prints fifty-seven varieties of
newspapers and magazines. Mr.. Cap
per and 1 differ only in details; we
both stand on the common ground of
welfare OF our capital city and of Kan
sas. He does not believe in putting all
of his eggs in one basket while I, like
'Puddin' Head Wilson, believe in put
ting those eggs which come forth daily
from single newspaper into one
basket and watching that basket.
Speaking of the advertising uplift,
the Jones Dry Goods company came
down to Topeka from Kansas City to
eSta bl1Sh a store, uncertain of course
whether 1T would be their main store,
or their branch. They gave me the big
gest advertising uplift in my entire
experience. They spent q thousand
dollars month with the State Jour-
nal in advertising and they were after
wards kind enough to tell me they got
their moneys worth. But they dectd-
ed to put all of their eggs in one bas-
ket down at Kansas City. The hole
they left in Topeka was chasm to be-
hold and the advertising upfift in our
office for a while was down at the bot
tom of a deep we'll.
1.-THE advertising uplift of today is
shown in the higher standards of ad-
vertising. The merchant knows that
he must have the goods back of his
announcements; that he must make
good in merchandise what he has said
on paper and that the purchaser must
have his money back if he wants it.
THE advertising uplift is shown in
the newspapers by the fact that
liquor advertising is so widely barred
from newspaper columns in prohibit
ton states; that disreputable an
nouncements are more generally sup
pressed; that racing advertising is
tabooed, and that the swindler fails
of publicity in respectable columns.
1.-THE Kansas newspapers and the
Kansas City newspapers as well, 1
think, are always glad to recall that
as the word advertise means turning
toward they are ready to realize that
the best advertising means turning
toward the right-to right things, to
right thoughts, to right living, and be-
lieve that the best advertising is that
which exemplifies the advertising up
lift, that which turns our readers to
higher purposes, to higher resolves, to
the best things in this life and in the
life to come.
"It has been said that the greatest
thing in the world is love- All of us
know that one of the greatest things
in this world is good advertising. Now
with the love of good advertising be-
hold the happy combination-the adj
vertising uplift. The happiest man is
he who gives happiness to others. This
is a natural law that cannot be vio-
lated
Let me ask you to give to your
advertising clubs, to your cities, to
your states, Missouri and Kansas, the
best you have and the best will come
back to you"

QUAKER MEDITATIoNs.
rFrom the Philadelphia Record.1

TF'rom the Philadelphia Record
A dead ringer-The deceased SEXTON.
Being henpecked is nothing to crow
about.
The dead sure thing doesn't always
come to life.
Most girls who are stage struck be-
come stage truck.
The early bird is often served with
a large. cold bottle.
The fellow who makes light of every
thing never sets the world on fire.
Many a man is willing to sell his ex-
perience for less than he paid for it,
The dead are soon forgotten, and
some of us don't even wait till we are
dead.
When a girl becomes engaged she is
always willing to exchange her heart
for a diamond.
If it takes nine tailors to make a
man, how can there be such thing as
a self-made man?

who has a good time and gets dirty"
