success. The boys are well pleased
with the patronage they received.
The game with Olney ended in favor
of Ordway by 10 to in five innings.
Sugar City then went to the grounds
and every thing looked favorable for
the home team until the Sth inning,
when three boys received bases on
balls and one safe hit, which made the
score and 6. Nine innings, two cr-
rors on Ordway, the boys losing the
game In favor of Sugar City by 8 to 6.
There were about eighty strangers in

As in the dawn of that first Chrstmastlde,
Where cleaned the Natal star and angels g.
Twas winter drear where, in travail, inside
That lone log-hut. a woman's cry outrang.
Crude, scant the furnishings-a bench, stool,
And rude four-poster, with a mat of straw,
Poor earnest that the child was born to rule,
Rend shameful shackles, and Nation awe.
(The manger and the Infant Nazarene!
Our Lincoln and his natal cabin, bare
If no apt, striking semblance may be seen,
Surely a shadow parallel is there.)
Nor endeth here the near simiItude;
The 4tes some like similitudes ordained,
OF which were Want and Grief and both were
good,
And to its dregs the cup of Sorrow drained.
His birth awoke the direful hosts of Fate,
Who forth his destiny sublime foresaw,
Unless forestalled by their malignant hate
For which upon the Evil One they draw.
Envy aud Hate we're set to dog his heels,
And Ridicule to poison mems respect
And always, tearing his heart-strngs, he feels
The hand of Woe-one of the fell elect.
Nor these alone The gauntlet of the horde
In double file-he needs must run, to find
Dread Malice near the end, who with no word,
Stole coward like, and stuck him from behind.
Peace to thy soul, O, noble, tender heart!

Than thine, our homage hath in larger part,

word. That is to say, she has
exhibited no petty jealousies or
ill-advised prejudices, but has com
manded universal respect regardless
of the storms which have ragged
about her husband. No higher
tribute could be paid to her personal
worth and strength of character
than this fact. Her position has
been particularly trying during her
eight years leadership of tue soclal
administration of the country. An
occasional contretemps, even of a
serious character, might well have
been overlooked. But there has
never beea occasion for leniency,
any more than for condemnation.
Mrs. Roosevelt is far from being
a colorless person apart from the
official or public character of her
husband. No one can truthfully
charge her with self efacement.
But she has not been an explOiter
of her semi official position, save
only by way of adjoining it with all
the gracious and forceful qualities
of an intelligent and personally
woman. That the presi-
deht owes much to his wife will
hardly be denied. She has been in
every way an ornament to the White
House and has lived up to the
noblest and sweetest of its traditions.

THE GREAT STORM

The cold and blustfr we had in
this locality, Tuesday, was but a
spring zephyr compard with the
blizzard In the northwest. Kansas
had a stiff wind from the northwest
accompanied by stinging cold but
we see no reports of zero weather
any where in the state, though II
came very close to that point in
western Kansas. Many places re-
port the mercnry at 2 to 5 above,
Tuesday morning. Tuesday even
ing the mercury began to rise and
Wednesday morning stood at abou
IS above
Wisconsin and the Dakotas report
the worst storm of the season.
Very high northwest winds and
much snow with extreme cold. A,
many points all train service was
abandoned, stores and schools
closed and the only business looked
after was an effort to keep from
freezing. Stock has suffered much
and the wheatfields of Kansas have
been swept by raging wind, with no
protecting covering of snow.
What made the cold SO oppressive
in this locality was the sudden
change, the mercury dropping about
90 degrees in a few hours.

LEGISLATIVE HOPPERS.

Al view VI tHC idCt tudt VIC uo'S
SO many laws in this country, thinks
an intelligent Englishman, it is
marvellous that we are not all in
prison for their violation. He
assumed, of course, that all our laws
are enforced and that there is the
same familiarity with the statutes In
this country as in England. When
it was explained that most of our
laws are like pie crust-made to be
broken-he was even more amazed +,
and couldn't understand why we
should 60 to the trouble and ex-
pense of framing them. In England
as in most foreign countries the laws
are comparatively few, bat they are
rigldly enforced. The people, also,
are familiar with the laws aRd obey
them for the very good reason that
they are laws.
Under the legislative system which
exists in America every man who is
elected to Legislature feels ia duty
bound te stamp his name upon his
state statutes. He may know moth
ing whatever about law or the
general needs of the state, but he
feels his own importance and knows
that the people back in his district
expect something of him. If Smith
of Barren county is recognized by
the chair and introduces a bill, it
is a compliment to Barren county
and brands Smith as an important
parsonage. Smiths bill may be
ridiculous, hurtful and hopeless, but
just the same it must go through the
mill and In its course are traced the
magic letters of Smiths name and
the reflected glory of Barren county.
At the session of the Missouri
house of representatives Wednesday
235 bills were introduced. These
measures ran the entire gamut, from
.seasible, rational and constructive
craftsmanship to the most visionary
Populistic doctrines imaginable. In
all the list there were probably. FIVE
measures worthy of real coRsidera'
tion by the members, but all went
into the hopper and will clutter up
committee rooms for the remainder
of the session. In Kansas the
record is not materially different.
Oae instance of the mischief that
can result from Hnwise legislative
proposals was when R. c. Rawlins,
a railroad promoter, appeared be-
fore the senate judiciary committee
and explained that the Hamilton
public utility bill had knocked out
the project of building trolly line
from Kansas City to Topeka. He
declared that it woWld be impossible
to interest outside investors in such
Kansas projects if the bill passed.
There are many such bills under
consideration IN both Kansas and
Missouri, and it is time the 'legisla
tors were awakening to their real
duty TO the public, which lies in
crushing all such unwise proposals
and publishing to the world that
these states have thrown OF the fads
and folliss of the corporation baiters
and are willing to invite capital
under guarantee of fair play.
