hoarsely, as he stood in. the little par

A flush ran into Kate's cheek but it
died there, leaving a white line around
her lips. "Old Ben BoIt'' gripped the

great riches and loving favour rather thar
silver and gold. Proverbs xxii:1.
Perhaps in the days when the words
in the above text were uttered by Sol
omon there was greater envy on the
part of the rank and file of the people
of those who were well-to-do, or enor-
mously rich, than there is today. The
people generally then were not SO well
informed as they are now.
This exhortation on the desirability
of the possession of a good name and
high esteem rather than extensive
riches is always pertinent.
1t is an admonition that it is well
to keep in mind always that a good
name and the favour of friends are
possessions of the priceless sort.
There are many people in the world
today who appear to believe that the
gain of large riches is the greatest
goal worth striving for. But the num-
ber is growing smaller as time rolls
along. Riches are fascinating, desira-
BILE if you will, and it is quite possible
to possess them and good name also.
The good name, though, the respect
and confidence of friends and acquain-
tances, are the preferable. Such things
will stand man in better stead in
stress and in the long run than all the
riches in the world. And it is, indeed,
as hard a task, if not more difficult to
acquire an unblemished name than it
is to gather in riches. The first re-
quires years; riches have been gained
in day. A good name is the best
possible asset to help one toward ma
terial success in life.
The man who is known in the COM
munity where he makes his home as
sober, Industrious, upright and pos
sessing those attributes of good
name, is the man to whom will be ex-
tended all confidence and support in
his business as well as his social af-
fairs. He will speedily outdistance in
life's race the individual who is not
Jealous of his good name, who is care
less III his associations and his habits.
Such a man may accumulate riches by
unscrupu1ous methods, just as many
of the swollen fortunes of today have
been acquired. But between such a
man and the one who holds the ad-
miration and regard of his fellow men,
whether he have riches or have them
not, there is an inseparable gulf, one
which money cannot bridge and on
the wrong side stands the man whose
name is unhonored regardless of the
proportions of his bag of gold.

It's a. rare man who can be a hero

A man who has a lot of money to in

Missouri would seem to have a good
complaint if the railroads establish
a three cent passenger fare in that
state as long as two cent fares are con-
tinued in force in Illinois, Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma. Passenger traf-
fic conditions are about the same in all
of these states That Missouri will
make this case and make it good and
strong is evidenced by recent remarks
from Governor Hadley and other of the
states officials

That Mr.. Roosevelt was right when
as president, he vetoed the bill provid-
ing for the taking of the next general
census, appears to have been conceded
by the national house of representatives
1t has just passed new bill on this
subject providing for the appointment
of the great horde of employees needed
for the census work according to civil
service rules and regulations. The bill
vetoed by Mr.. Roosevelt permitted the
appointment of these employees regard
less of civil service requirements and
that's the reason he vetoed it.

General sentiment seems to be in IA
vor of the northeast corner of Tenth

Is to be erected with the 100000 appro-

the city for it. The funny thing is,
though, that Hutchinson did not insist

spot in Reno county.

Here's a popularity. The Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific Railway company
thinks its property in Kansas is worth
$23. 900 less this year than the figure
at which it was assessed last year. Ad-

IN the railroad business during the past
year but it is not probable that it has
so affected the value of the taxable pro-
perty of railroads. Still the railroad
mind works in devious and wonderful
ways whenever the occasion demands.
