In these days the demands upon
the skilled playwright are many and
complicated. t'Too busy to do a lit

DIDN'T LAST.

An Atchisen man who recently
confessed religion" and became a
member of the church says his fam
lily, and not his associates down
town, are responsible for the back
sliding that followed within three
weeks. He says his wife and the
girls were in conspiracy to impose
upon him, to work him for money,
to make him do more work around
the house, and submit to all sorts of
tyrannies without grumbling. "He
can't object" he overheard his wife
say, ''for he has religion now, and is
bound to be meek and humble"
Three weeks of this drove him into a
frenzy, and one day he backsEd SO
vehemently and forcibly that his
wife and daughters were left speech
less-Atchison { Kan.) Globe.

HAS NOT BEGUN TO WORRY.


Although not yet five years of age,
the small heir to the throne of Rus
STA is already colonel of several regi-
ments of his fathers army. But all
these dignities lie lightly upon his
shoulders, for the chief joy of his
life is huge gollywogg, dressed IN
blue and red, sent him from Eng
land by Queen Alexandra. This, as
matter of fact, is the most treas
ured possession of the royal nursery,
and when the rights of possession
are questioned by his sister, the
young colonel is not averse from us
ing his fists in its defense.

The old court house building
at Liberal burned last Thursday
night. The night was still and
no great damage was done by
reason of the fire spreading
among the old wooden buildings
near. A loss that seems a bad
one was that of Mrs. Dame Aker,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ellis of Meade. Mrs. Aker kept
rooming house next the old
court house. It was impossible
to save the rooming house, but
everyone turned int save all of
the contents of the house possible.
The result being that all was
taken out, and windows and doors
saved. Then a man asked if she
would like to have her kitchen
range, to which she replied that
if it could be saved without risk
she would. Then thecrowd tore
out the side of the kitchen and
carried the range out of danger.
There was no insurance on the
house and the loss is about $1,000.

been requested to deliver lectures in
Buffalo, New York, and in Denver,
Colorado. He gave his illustrated
lecture at Topeka recently. The

The LyCenfn Lecture

The Lyceum lecture on Thurs
day night of last week was not as
we'll attended as it's merits war
ranted, but those present enjoyed
treat we'll worth their time and
money. Thomas McClarcy is a
peculiar man in build and fea-
lures. Resem bling Abraham
Lincoln in ruggedness of fea-
lures and build he appears awk-
ward and ungalnly on the stage,
but soon one sees not the man,
but his ideas prevade the house
and his diction is forgotten in his
word pictures. The wit was on
the whole largely quotations from
the noted men of the past, Josh
Billings, Artemus Ward, Mark
Twain and others. He reinforc-
ed his own homely philosophy
with the words of these earlier
men who concealed their whole
some truths under a sugar coat
ing of pleasantly. The lecture
was a plea for pure gladstone
life. In fact what the title i'm
piled, the religion of Mirth. His
saying that sour knocker could
do much harm in town, home Or
church, was Offset by the decla-
ration that pleasant man drew
customers, friends, and dWellers
to his town. In one place he
pointed his tatement by quoting
from Josh Billings: eff / was call
ed on tew mourn at the fewneral
of mewel 1 wood stand at the

in". If the numbers to follow
are any thing near as good as
this it will be we'll worth while
to attend.

which will be of interest to the
friends of the Metropolitan
Quartette. Mr.. Ben Marshall
was among the hundred who
entered the voice test for the an

selected.
Mr.. Francis Backe, another
mem Der of the quartette, passed
a gratifying vocal examination
and has already been invited to
assist in public entertainment at
the Lindsborg College.
Mr.. John Sweet and Mr.. Frank
