GETS HoNoRs AFTER 40 YEARS.
Austrian Medals Given Kansan for
Austrian Service.

austrian S0TVlCcs
Great Bend, Kan, July 19.-Joham
Ohnmacht of Great Bend is by birth
an Austrian, though he has been
resident of the United States for more
than 80 years.
Away back in SO when his native
country was at war with Prussia and
the other Southern German States
Ohnmacht was a soldier in the Aus
TRAN army and after the war was ov-
er was honorably discharged and with
war record that entitled him to a
medal of honor. such as was issued
at that time by the old Emperor Fran
els Joseph.
But at that time young Ohnmacht
cared nothing for his. He came rath-
er to America where he has pros
pered.
And after many years, when the
young soldier has become the old man,
the view point became different and
the things that looked valueless then
have become something desirable.
And so last April Louis Zutavern
at the request of johann Ohnmacht
wrote letter to the Austrian war de-
partment requesting that the medals
be forwarded to the exsoldier
Nothing was heard from the request
Tor several months, until Mr.. Zutavern
received package from the Austrian
consul at st. Louis and upon opening
1t found two medals accompanied by
a letter.
The medals are of bronze and on
one is the picture of the emperor.
The other is sort of memorial medal
issued at later date than the war.

SLEEPER is HIT BY A TRAIN.
Nevertheless, T. H. Gordon's Injuries
Are Only Slight.

Cherryvale, Kan, July 19.-If T. H.
Gordon ever goes to sleep on railway
track with his head on a tie and
against a rail he will have to change
his mind He came near getting kill
ed in that position last night and is
doubtless wondering today how he
escaped.
Gordon, who has been working here
the past couple of weeks in the ca
pacity of commissary clerk for the
Santa Fe, took a pillow out of his
bunk car last night on account of the
oppressive heat inside and lay down
between the siding and main line. His
head rested on tie and against the
side of the rail. He was asleep in this
position when No. 204 came along at
a thirty mile an hour clip. The pilot
of the engine struck him glancing
blow, inficting an ugly wound over his
right eye that likely will not prove
serious.

Santa Fe Will Build $40, 500 Station in
That Town.

Fredonia, Kan, July 19.-Fredonia
is to have a new depot. 1t will be
built by the Santa F'e railroad, and is

belongs to the Frisco system. The
Santa Fe had a depot there until
twelve or thirteen years ago, when it
was destroyed by fire. The site was
about 200 yards from that of the
Frisco depot.

WHY Ruskin's Wife Left Him.

Here is an interesting glimpse of
Ruskin's wife from Ada Garland's
"Ruskin and His Circle"
A young, gay wife, fond of dress, eX-
citement and social life, was no help
meet for him. He went with her to
court, taking pride in the compliments
paid her, but society bored him. She
often went out alone. Not a wise thing
to do. perhaps, but she was very
young, and the home must have been
dulI-her husband absorbed in archi-
lecture and his spare time claimed
by the old people. Materially, young
Mrs. Ruskin had all she could desire;
was always well dressed, had splendid
Jewels and all the advantages Of
wealth. But her husband could do
without her; Mrs. Ruskin senior,
would not abdicate; the wife's position
in the household must have been that
of a handsome figurehead.
She was cOnversing with some gen
tIemen, one Of whom asked:
Where is Mr.. Ruskin?"
ooh, Mr.. Ruskin?" she replied. "He
is with his mother; he ought to have
married his mother!"

said a man who halls from the burg OF

angel in heaven-at least from the
point of view of the Biddles. One of
the women of that numerous family
married q man who was quite Ier So
ciaI equal, but who was afflicted with
the somewhat commonplace name of
well, say Robinson. They have
little girl, who is now about six years
old, and the chiId is never permitted
to lose sight of Thea fact that her
mother was a Biddle. In Sunday
school a couple of weeks ago her in
fantile mind was expected to grasp
the problem of salvation according to
the doctrine that we must be born
again. When she reached home she
ran to her mother, exclaiming: %,
mother, have such good news for

mother.

When founded on fact, the malicious
hint often does vastly more harm than
the full disclosure. 1t has about it an
air Of mystery which brings on a train
of imaginings and begeJs gToundless
suspicious which would quickly melt
into thin air were the whole truth
known. More especially is this the
case when the evil hint is blended
with words Of commentator. He's
an honest and a temperate man, etc,
but" Oh, that mean, vile, hypocriti-
cal little but" that has severed so
many friendships and befouled so
many a fair name! Where so much of
good is spoken and the mean little
but" uttered with a regretful sigh it
often looks like real pity. In reality
it is but decking out and garlanding
the victim for the sacrifice. The en-
comium is used only as a means of at
