let me ask the question, what will
you have?
Education? Great prices have
been paid for it. There is no royal
road to learning. Indeed the
children of the royal families spend
time IN study and development that
many of our free born American
sons and daughters would reject as
altogether too strenuous and diff
cult. Money cannot buy this great
possession, though it may render
its acquirment more pleasant. In
the past there may have been, no
doubt were, good reasons why all
could not obtain an education.
That day is past. The boys and
girls OF Randolph county can have
it if they want it and we know that
we can have anything that we want.
The question is, will we pay the
price? Country school, high
school, college and university.
What will you have? Education
makes us capable of doing great
things and living great life. 1t
opens tie door of opportunity in
many directions. The treasures of
literature, art and science are ours
If we want them. We can look
back to the beginning of history,
forward in pleasant anticipation and
revel in the present when through
culture we taste the joys of all the
ages.
Ignorance is a sin. 1t means
wasted opportunity. The child of
today who is growing up in igno-
rance is a menace to our free gov.
ernment and a stumbling block to
progress. The grossly ignorant
have little of real pleasure and even
from a commercial standpoint are
far below their educated neighbor
in advantages. In the commercial
world as well as in literature and
art, "There is always room at the
top"
Last and greatest comes christian
ity. Remember friends, | said
christianity, not salvation. That
is free as Gods word and the preach
ers tell US. But christianity, the
unfolding life of Christ in His dis
ciples. The new life, the life in
harmony with God. This alone
will satisfy the heart and glorify
the life. 1t alone, by the bridge of
Faith, penetrates the great beyond
and reaches into the eternity of God.
One word more and | am done.
4,aEalty, love, ambition, education
and christianity. Are they worth
while? Will you have them?
What will you have? quotb God
Pay for it and take it, nothing ven
ture, nothing have. thou shalt be
paid exactly for what thou hast
done, no more, no less.
We have only one life on this
earth to live and we should get all
and be all of worth there is in it.
Let's make stepping stones of our
difficulties, learn to forget what we
DO not wish to remember, drop
what we do not want to hold and
press on to our work.

In MemOriam

On last Friday the death angel
visited the home of John Triplett
of Carter ana took from him his
beloved wife.
She leaves 7 little children, 5
boys and little girls, all under the
age of IA years. Mrs. Tripelett
was 80 years old.
She had an attack of measles and
died shortly after. Weep not dear
ones, but trust in God that you may
meet her in that bright land to part
no never. WALTER RAY.

life. Will you pay the price and
take them?
Loyalty means faithful to love or
duty, true to ones word. In all
relations of life loyalty is admired.
In the home what sweet examples
we have of this virtue in patient,
painstaking, unsel6sh mothers and
self,sacrihcing fathers.
These pay the price and their
reward is as great as the nation for
the home life is the foundation of
society,
Loyalty to country is everywhere
applauded. Disloyalty is con-
demned, even by people who profit
by it.
The English nation would use
Arnold's treason for their success,
but they despised the man so much
as did the Americans, while the
name, Washington, is exalted where
ever love of liberty and patriotism
exists. The loyal friend is exalted
in poetry and history.
Who ever tires of the story of
Damon and PYthlas, or the sublime
account of loyal friendship as tx.
omplihed in the lives of Johnathhn
Pocahontas star herald., 1911-05-05

and David? The pages of history
are full of the names of the great
men and women who were martyrs
from principle. These paid the
awful price of endurance, of IN.
speakable and life itself for
principle. What will you have?
Loyalty-will you be faithful in
love and duty, true to your word I?
You can be If you will. Paw the
price and take it.
Next, love: God offers this to all.
Shall we pay the price aud take
this, also? Jesus says it is "Tbe
great COMMANDMENT" Henry
Drummoud's sermon on love, the
greatest thing in the world, has been
read and enjoyed by thousands.
"God is Love-" is familiar motto
He has surely proven His love for
us in many ways. Will we have
love too? Love, that quality of
nature the nearest divine, that GIFT
of which Jesus says, "This is the
law and the prophets. Love for
God, for country, for friends, for
home, for the whole wioe world.
Picture life without love, snch
words as hate, murder, crime, false
hood, decoy, scowls and quarrels.
These belong to the loveless life.
Surely there are none so base as to
reject the first and choose the op.
posite. The price of love? An
unselfsh and loving heart, nature
that gives, gives, gives, gives of
its best.
Ambition: This is something
that we must have to accomplish
anything good or great. We must
aim high and try our very best to
carry out our aim. Effort is in pro.
portion to desire. The more in
tense our desire is to be and do
something worthy, the more sure
our success. Many examples of
successful ambition could be given.
One familiar example is the life of
Shakespeare, the great poet and
dramatist, born of poor parents, the
of his childhood was
one of discouragment.
He determined to go higher, he
said, 81 will not put up with the
common way of doing" He kept
steadily studying and fighting his
battles of opposition, all the time
renewing his decision, until finally
he was able to go to college and at
last became one of the greatest writ
ers. This is also an example that
proves to US that we can do aSrs
thing that we want to do. II is
lack of ambition to be something
noble that fills our streets with |
loungers, our country with trampS,
aud many times our jails and penn
tentiaries with convicts.
These are they who drifted instead
of battling with the current.
We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe, gold ears
Until We first have been sewers,
And watered the furrows with tears
Is it not just as we take it this
mystical world Of ours? Life's
field will yield as we make it,
harvest of thorns or flowers. Again,

RAILWAY NOTES.

Directors of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa F'e declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 1 Il per cent on
the common stock, payable Dec. l.
This sets at rest the question Of a di-
vidend reduction by the Atchison for
the time being at least. For some
time there has been talk of the advis-
ability of reducing and using the mon
ey which might thus be disbursed In
maintenance.
There are, in round numbers, $4,000
locomotives on the railways of the
United States. During the past TWEEN
ty-five years the average weight per
locomotive has nearly doubled. The
purpose in this extraordinary Develop
ment in locomotive power is appar-
ent. One word-ecOnomy- the con-
summation sought.
Recently a train on the Pennsyl-
vania special test of 10 coaches Lines
West, hauled by an engine fired with
an automatic stoker, made a run of
105 miles in 80 minutes actual run
ming time. An average of 1873 miles
per hour.

much of scrimmage time to these when
he sends his squads against each other.
It takes quick thinking to handle these
plays, however. ana up to date, the
Washburn squad has not shown a ten
dency to think.
The shifted team worked smoother In
the Ottawa game and probably will be
left the same to go into the Paramount
game. Lowe at end and Mcintyre at
full appeared to have been very fortu-
nate changes and Smiley at half played
a remarkable game. Rankin at the
other end needs a lot of grooming. He
runs fast but in so doing so forgets his
mission. He is prone to overrun his
man on kicks and misses forward
passes.
Line Is Too Light.
The line is not in a bad shape but Il
IS light. Weights have been taken on
the team members and the best the
trainers can get out of them is an aver
age weight Of 157 pounds. That IS a
light weight squad and probably the
hghtest fighting over the gridiron'
among the state colleges.

pearance of Kennedy's braves who

at the Morganville band anniversary
the OAK Hill Outlaws easily defeated
the crack amateur ball team of Cuba
by a 9 to l score. This game decided
the amateur championship of northern
Kansas, as both teams were claiming
the honor. Cuba had won from prac-

Nebraska and the extreme northern
portion of Kansas, while the Outlaws
have cleaned up everything in their
portion of the state.
The Oak Hill Outlaws secured IA
hits off the delivery of De Follis, a
majority of which were for extra bases.
W Mcdonnell for Oak Hill allowed but
safeties, no two in the same inning,
and struck out II of the Cuban Won
ders." Mcdonnell has won % consecu-
