himself agreeable like any bargain

AS soon, therefore, as he had taken
his seat in the supper-room he had

Supper was still in it's early stages

champagne followed the other three.

A Leseon from thePrimary.

In Osborne one old fellow WAS ex-
anxious to vote for Stubs
and one candidate on the Republican
county ticket, said Bert Walker the
other day, in discussing one of the
aftermath of the recent primary.
This old fellow asked Republican
to go to the polls with him and see
him through. At the polls the old
fellow asked the judges for u ballot.
"What ballot do you want?" the
judges asked him, which was one
way OF ascertaining his party afiilia-
ton.
"Well," was the reply-"Well-,
what kind have you got?"
Republican, Democratic, Prohi-
bition, Socialist" replied the Judge.
Guess you can give me Prohi-
bition ticket" retorted the old man.
"Stop and think that over" com
mented Walker, land you notice
that he couldn't vote for either man
he wanted to. The man who had
piloted him there stood by and could
say nothing. 1t will be years be-

POLITICAL CROP PROSPECTS

As Kansas Is one of the great ag-
ricultural states OF the union 1t may
not be out of place to borrow an H.
Illustration from the fields to explain
the prospects of the different parties
The insurgents are reformers but
they do not go us far as the demo-
Gratis do. The standpatters are sup
posed to oppose all progress but as
a matter OF fact, even the standpat-
tiers are moving just little. 1t IL
q matter of degree. The attitude OF
the three parties on reforms may be
likened to three corn fields-the dem
ocratic field was planted in May, the
insurgent field was planted In June
and the standpat field was planted
in July. OF course, the democratic
corn IL more advanced, although
some of II was injured by late frosts'
The insurgent corn is growing nicely
and was greatly refreshed by the re-
cent primary shower. The stand
pat corn is naturally the most back
ward; 1t did not come up well ana
some of the seed fell where the
thorns sprang up and checked tit
has suffered considerably, too, from
a hot wind from Illinois that swept
over the state recently and fired
a number of stalwart stalks.
And the crop? Well, the demo
cratic field seems to promise the
largest yield; the insurgent field viii
need good weather up to November
to mature the grain; and, as for the
standpat corn, it will hardly make
lodder.-The Commoner.

REMEMBER HARMONY.

In the Democratic senatorial fight
II would be well to avoid too much
heat. Missouri Democrats started
out with a view of having a harmo-
NOUS campaign and that fact should
not be lost sight Of. While this is n
Democratic year it must be remem-
bered that Missouri is no longer a
sure State. A nomination does not
mean an election as In days gone
by. The Missouri Republicans are
quite harmonious this year. The
progressive movement has not made
much impression on the mossback
element in this State. insurgency
40 far has amounted to little In this
State. Nothing will be gained In q
bitter fight to secure a nomination
and then lose the election. Mis-
souri, has been seeing too much OF
that in recent years.-springheld

after a severe illness, was travelling
from Italy on his way to England,
when he was becalmed for IA week

over the beautiful fields, when he
saw little bird pursued by hawk.
The poor thing, weak and fright
ened, seeking to escape from its
enemy, flew into the room and found
refuge in Wcsley's bosom. As the
poet was then in great trouble, the
incident inspired him to write the

which is Let me to Thy bosom fly

Haze you Tried 1t?

If you have never tried it, you
most certainly should, it is the latest
idea in decoration and fancywork.
Steuciling on fabrics gives very pleas
ing results, as you can make such
attractive presents for your friends or
you can beautify your home with
artistic curtains, pillow covers, table
covers, etc.
Stenciling is not hard to do, you
can learn how very easily. The

High Sheriff Henry has returned the
divorce summons of Martha X. S.
Coakley against John P. Coakley un-
served with the information that the
address of the respondent is Goldfeld,
Nevada The grounds of the complaint
are failure to provide and desertion.
There are two children-Ashford, a
boy of eleven, and Puakalehua, a girl
of eight years. Mrs. Coakley states
that in 1901, while they were living
together in Alaska it was mutually
agreed that she and the children should
return to this Territory on account OF
their health. Since then she has re-
quested him in vain to furnish her
with the necessaries of life. Also she
had repeatedly written to him for
money to enable her and the children
to join him in Nevada but without
response. Coakley was for many
years hack driver in Honolulu.
Another divorce summons returned
without service is that of Francisco
