Paola, Kan, March 22.=John c.
Eisele expects to raise at least seven
ty-five bushels of corn per acre from
a five acre tract on his farm one mile

Mr.. Eisele is an advocate of inten-

ALLEGED FoRGER A SUICIDE.
Excused Himself From Marshal to
Enter House, and Blew Brains Out.

Oxford, Kan, March 22.-When
Theodore Martin. charged with passing
a forged check for $26.82 drawn on
the Farmers bank at wellington. was
turned up by his bondsmen, who are
business men at Oxford, yesterday, he
asked the city marshal to excuse him
for a moment while he stepped into
his house to secure some belongings.
The marshal remained outside until
he heard pistol shot when he rushed
in to find Martin dying, his brains
blown out by revolver shot.
Martin was arrested last week and
released on $1,000 bond. His bonds
men became anxious after an inves-
tiGation which seemed to indicate
Martins guilt and withdrew their
bond. The city marshal had gone to
secure the alleged forger to remove
him to Wellington, when the tragedy
occurred.

Football Referees Devotion to Duty
Evidently Had Got Him Into
Serious Trouble.

The referee had swallowed the
whistle. t was very unfortunate, but
it was not his fault. A burly forward
had charged him fairly in the center
of his back, sending the whistle down
his throat
The game must end!" cried some
one. 1--WE can't do without whistle"
Its all right" gasped the referee.
1--WE got substitute. You can go on"
He produced latch key from his
pocket, and as the game commenced
blew several hearty blasts on his new
whistle.
Suddenly a woman's voice, loud and
angry was heard above the roar of
the game:
Ferdinand, what does this mean,
sir! Where did you get that latch
key?"
Then Ferdinand skunk off the field,
for the voice was the voice of his
wife.

long sweeps more earues.,y 1.-----
Even when obliged at lastt to throw
Jonah overheard, they did it with a
prayer to Jehovah. And at once the
sea was calm.
How long was Jonah in the great
fish? Three days and three nights,
which, according to the Jewish mode
Of reckoning, might, as in the case of
our Lords stay in the tomb, have been
only one entire day and parts of the
day preceding and the day following.
1t is striking to notice the change
in Jonah as soon as he ceased to run
away from his duty and became obe-
dient to Gods command. What was
the command? TIE first repeated:
Go to Nineveh, that great city, and
proclaim what l bade you proclaim,
the doom Of their sins"
Then God prepared gourd This
book is full of this word prepared. We
are told that the Lord prepared
great fish, gourd, worm, and c sui
try east wind. This gourd was most
likely the bottle-gourd, often planted
to grow over trellis-work. 1t is thought
by some to have been the palma
christi, or castor-oil plant, which still
grows to a great size in the Jordan
valley. 1t is so-called because it is
five-leaved plant, one leaf of which
outspread was thought to represent
the hand of Christ.
Next in the acted parable came
worm, destroying the gourd, and the
sirocco, driving its hot blast down
upon the sweltering prophet. Then,
by wonderfully true touch of human
nature, Jonah transfers his pity for
himself, as an ill-used prophet, to the
gourd which likewise had been hard
ly treatedA
The divine question, Should not I
have pity?" remains unanswered.
Above the stir and din and wickedness
the divine compassion is still brooding.
The argument is very fine. On the
gourd Jonah had spent neither labor
nor strength. How much more should
God, Of whose goodness mans highest
virtue is but the faintest shadow, pity
and spare the helpless and ignorant
works of his own hands who now fill
the streets of Nineveh with pathetic
appeals for forgiveness! Gods pity
extends to the little children, that can
not discern between their right hand
and their left hand, and even to the
cattle. There is no finer close in
the whole realm of literature than
this ending. Gods love is broader
than the measures of mankind.
