"A septuagenarian," he began. said one
evening at dinner to his fair young wife:
My darling, have just insured my
life in your favor for 100000
oh. you duck" the beautiful girl
cried, and, rising and passing round the
table, she kissed her husband lightly on
his bald head.
Darling he said, taking her slim
white hand, is there anything elsa can
do for you?
Nothing on EARTH she answered; and
then, with little silvery laugh, she
added, Nothing in this world. Nothing
under heaven"

George F. Baer, the famous Philadel-
mia railroad man, said on his SEVENTEEN
birthday:
'J agree with Professor Metchnikofr
about the wisdom Of the old. Professor
Osler made Il fashionable TO decry gray
hairs. but my experience has been that
the old not only possess wisdom, but they
seek It also"
With a smile Mr.. Baer added

too old TO learn are those who really are
too young"

We Sane Christmas
TWO BARNS BURNED

Small boys and matches, it is
thought, were the cause Of a pretty
destructive fire Tuesday afternoon
In the Second ward. Fire in the c.
L. Moses and W. E. Stoke barns Sc
cured such a he2dway that practically
everything was gone before the fire
company could reach the scene. The
Moses barn Contained a large Qusn.
tity CT feed and hay besides a bug
gy, harness aRd number Of things cf
small value which had been stored
there.
Miss Noses had the horse and rig
outside or it is doubtful whether it
would have been saved. The fire or
iginated in Moses barn and spread
at once to the Stoke barn which join
ed it on the east. In this barn there
was a lot of furniture stored in the
left and a considerable amount of
other material on the ground floor.
A small part of this only was saved.
1t took efficient work on the part Of
the firemen to save the fire from
catching some of the dwellings in
the neighborhoOd.
The Moses barn was worth about
$500 and the Stoke barn about $500.
Mr.. Moses sstated today that he
thought he had about $3.50 insurance
on the same. Mr.. Stoke had about
5000 insurance en- the barn and 800
on the goods stored therein. HIS
loss is few hundred dollars greater
than that of Mr.. Moses.
The fire department arrived short
ly after the alarm was turned in but
the fire had already received a good
start and was practically past con-
troll. Mrs. R. C. Russell happened
to look out Of the window and saw
the barn on fire and telephoned in
the alarm. The water pressure was
not as strong as it should have been
but in a few minutes after it was
turned on was all right. Owing to
the fire getting such headway the
volume of water could have been
strong on the start but the build
ings could not have been saved.
The origin Of the fire is said to
have been the results Of some Of the
small boys Of the neighborhood who
had been going to the loft of the
Moses barn to see some small kit
tens there. The old cat had moved
them, it is thought, and the boys
went and got some matches with
which to hunt them. That they es.
capped from the barn at all is a prov
idence as the fire spread so rapidly

A GROWING KANSAS ORDER :
THE A. o. U. w.

The reader will doubtless have no
ticed that the Kansas lodge of An
cient Order of United Workmen is
still holding its own against all CON-
ers; is paying all its death losses, in
creasing its membership and doing a
wonderful lot of good among men Of
moderate means who cannot afford
to pay tribute to the cid line inSur-
ance companies where insurance pro
lection costs so much more, end
which have none Of the fratarnalism
and neighbOrly helpfulness that make
the Workman ledge so much more
desirable to the average man. Since
the Workmen of Kansas pulled off
from the National order and made
their lodge a Kansas Institution, with
2 Kansas membership only, that
lodge has steadily grown in the con-
fidence Of the people and is adding
to its membership right along.
The Great Bend lodge of the A.
o. U. W. is adding new members and
increasing in local interest. And, by
the way, it would be well for mem
bers of the local lodge to remember
that on next Saturday evening, De-
cember 7th, will occur the election
Of officers, and that every member
should be present. 1t is not only to
your interest to be present, but
your duty also. There will also be
work in the degrees, and it is quite
likely after the labors in the lodge
room are over, the banquet hall will
be visited. Come out, brothers, and
let us have the largest attedance Of
the winter.

dancers had so good a time that it
was after three in the morning be-

Every feature of the occasion was
carefully planned and the wedding
one that will be. long remembered
by those who were so fortunate as
to be present. The guests included

LaFollette's magazine, edited by

domination, and for progressive prin-
cipIes.''
This endorsement may be accepted
mprejudiced, because Senator Fa-
Follette's magazine is republican.
The fact is, Tavenner won almost
solely on the merits of his Wash.
ington letters which have appeared
in this newspaper, and which we will
continue to publish exclusively in
this territory.
The extent Of the magnificent tri-
butte paid to his work as a writer
can be best understood when Il is
considered that he won out by 1900
in a district which is normally from
$500 to 10000 Republican, and
which has not been represented IN
Congress by Democrat in 22' years.
Tavenner did not have both a Re.
publican and Progressive candidate
against him, condition which pre-
vailed in many districts and which
would have made success easier. His
opponent was the regular Republican
nominee, who also had the advantage
q the strong endorsement and sup
port of the Progressive party. .
