MRS. BROWN TALKS

M IL. cDlTOR,
Being an old woman OF seventy
seven and long time resident of
Kansas. Of which l am exceedingly
proud not of my age please-but of
the state of my adoption, | feel con-
strained 30 add little to the contro
versy which is causing so much eX-
element In regard to the rocky ssen-
tence imposed on a Mrs. Reece, late
of lola.
lola must be very short of the ma
terial out Of which judges are made,
TO have placed in power, man of 50
little common sense and so very little
state or civic pride. This woman was
charged with the same off1nse as was
Mary Magdelene when brought be-
fore Jesus of Nazareth. And when
Jesus said to her accusers: "He that
is without sin let him cast the fir t
stone" "They turned them from
that judgment hal; these dark
browed men each one, aud left the
sinful sufferer, with him her God
alone. Oh. think we not those blessed
words, Lost aught Of saving power;
When on her ear fell soothingly, $50
daughter, sin no more"
One able woman writer who would
restore the judge his lost ears, thinks
it was spite and desire to cause suf-
fering that actuated him, but l at
tribute it TO jealousy. He had prob
ably been turned down for younger,
handsomer maD.
In his defence of the act he says,
If 1t had been man and 1t had been
proven against him, he W aid have
been sent to the penitentiary
Granted-but right here Is where
chat little If asserts itself Let US
turn from Iolo's disgrace and zee what
we have at home. remember some
years ago, when poor demented ANY
King was mere child that she was
arrested for lewd and unbecomlng be-
havior etc ard when she was brought
to,the bar Of justice-which word by
the way should have pretiy--and III
her uublushing simplicity told the
story of her crimes and Thereby i'm
plicated so many old grey headed
men, builders OF the town, p'l4rs Of
the church etc that 1t was very 'oOn
decided that things we're going too
far as the good Of both chuch and
city were at stake and so the poor
abused child was hurried off to some
retreat and the whole thing hushed
up. Nest Of those sanity old sinners
are now sleeping at EImwood, but
she poor direlect is still floating on
the ocean of time, butfetted by the
storms of power y, disgrace and
ignorance still used to demonstrate
the majesty of man made Laws.
In her recent escapade, we hear some
man a sisted her to escape from maud
lin charge; but when she was dis
covered, famished bedraggled, and
dazed, vainly trying to locate the
wretched hovel on wheels, she had
called home, she was Immediately
arrested and the majesty of the law
was again set forth But I don't hear
that any of our officers are sweating
out any shirts or loosing any sleep
trying to locate the man who accom-
panied her on her flight.
In the penal code of this righteous
world
Justice | ween is a rarity.
At the weak and frail the lip is curled
The bitter taunt and sarcasm hurled
With a sure unvarying parity
But over the monster mean and vile
Whose heart is a canker fostering
guile
Who kills with the light of his SER
pent smile
We throw the pure mantle of charity

An Annual Event

This year as for nine years here
tofore The Up-to-Date Drug Co. will
give away free to anybody asking
for them. all the sweet pea seeds
that will be planted. The fact
that this firm has made q feature
Of this free distribution every year
has attracted notice from several
outside cities and has been COM
mented upon considerably. People
have noticed that this particular
spot in the Arkansas valley pro-
duces the very finest sweet pea
blossoms that can be found in all
the west. This. fact has mo doubt
been brought about by the earnest
efforts of the Up-to-Date Drug
Co. to get only the very finest seeds
that could be procured in America.
and they have given them away
with lavish hand to anyone and
everyone who would plant them
The ladies' of this section of the
valley appreciate the generosity Of
The Up-to-Date as can be evidenc-
ed by the eagerness everyone shows
to get the seeds and plant them in
time.

Tillie Krausert Dead.

The sad news was received this
week that Miss Tillie Krausert, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Krausert,
had died at the home of her parents in
ST. Cloud. Many friends here will
receive the news with sorrow, and ex-
tend kindliest sympathy to the sorrow
ing realtives. The following is taken
from the St. Cloud Journal Press -
Saturday afternoon closing a baffi-
ing illness of nearly two months dur
alton, Miss Tillie Krausert was called
by death. The deceased was but 19
years of age, but had been engaged
as teacher for two years. She was
to have taught at Morris this term,
but few days before the opening OF
the schools there was taken i'll and
failed to recover from the illness.
Miss Krausert was born in Iowa.
Coming to this state she resided in
Morris until July of this year, when
she moved to St. Cloud with her par
ents. Her exceptional success as an
instructor while so young prophecied
brilliant career as teacher for the
young lady.
She is survived by her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Krausert, 1875
