This one comes direct from the
Manhattan Nationalist: Two pretty
little girls and a freckle faced, snub
nosed Irish boy were playing together
when the conversation turned upon
thankfulness. One little girl said: ''I
am thankful for the Lord gave me my
pretty yellow curls." The other one
said: 81 am thankful because He
gave me my pretty blue eyes and pink
cheeks" The little boy studied for a
few minutes and said: "Well, I amt

sabbath day. 1t was a trivial break,
but one fellow made a home run be-
fore he could even get the wrench to

Another dandy good catch was made
in the field while he was fumbling
around to find where he had put the
nut on the ground. While he was tight
ening up the nut three men struck out.

THE UNHEARD GHOST.

l dare not sleep, now thou art dead,
I toss until the morning red;
On what path wouldst thou have me go
Spirit, whom have injured so?
At times the lilac, or the rose
At moonSet through my window blows:
l breathe again the bank of grass,
Wherein that hour did sweetly pass.
Yet not from wind I gather fear,
But that thy words may not hear;
1 shrink not from the silvery beam.
At midnight on my bed astream.
A something muffled, yet alive
Able to injure and deprive;
To stand between me and my God,
Lone-treading ways we two have trod.
All no, the requiem DER thy tomb,
Did not fulfill thy wandering doom;
Still comes a voice that is not voice,
Yet aye forbIds me to rejoice.
My wrong to thee L know, how welli
And thou art Quickened by my hell,
At thee, unheard, tremble most,
The voiceless fury of thy ghost

Regpars on Horseback.

The meanest of all mendicants is the
imposter. There are panhandlers
whose pockets are full of money There
are beggars who have bank accounts
There are also protected industries
in this country living on the bounty of
the people as truly as any of these, but
rich enough to contribute corruption
funds and maintain a lobby at Wash
ington.
We may recognize these Industrial
paupers by their walls now that it is
proposed to reduce the tariff a little
They have all the effrontery of their
class. They ask sympathy. They pre-
tend that they are about to die. They
even menace those who have wesried
of their opportunities and exactions. If
charitable government. long inn
posed upon, shall conclude to turn its
back up to these leeches, they want
everybody to understand that their
business will have to perish.
Confessions such as this are not new,
but there is reason to believe that from
this time forward they will be ad-
dressed to a people qualified as never
before to take in their true meaning
Americans who think pretty well of
themselves are dependents, and that
they are not ashamed of the fact They
mean that We have political Industries
which cannot stand alone. They mean
that we have pauper industries which
will perish if the peoples aims be with
drawn.
In most cases we believe that all this
is a false pretense and an imposition,
but whether true or false, We know
that the people are weary of beggars
on horseback and are intent upon re-
ducing their number.-New York

KANSAS CONMENT
DUSTY ROADS.

DO0L fbOAOC.
The question of dust is one that used
to be considered only by residents of
towns. Now q house along any coun-
try road frequented by motor cars re-
ceiveS its constant dust baths, to the
distress of housewives and the decay
of fine linen.
As farmers are buying automobiles
freely, and will purchase a great many
more in the next few years, this is not
a case of city against country. 1t is
rather a general neighborly exchange
of dirt. in which the man who has the
most favored location gets the most
frequent baptism.
It is manifestly impossible for coun-
try roads to be Amounted with the cool
mercies of the sprinkling cart In
time the main highways will be treat
ed with tar and oil preparations, winch
will serve as a dust binder. But such
protection is still remote for the ordl-
nary rural highway.
The cool sweetness of many farm
home has gone in consequence. The
windows could once be open for the
breezes laden with nothing more in
eliminating than flower perfume.
Now open windows may mean the
soiling of housewifely treasures by fly
ing dust clouds The best bedspread,
that wedding heirloom from some re-
mote ancestor, once displayed in the
'spare room" for all visitors to see,
must now be kept securely covered.
The city cousins used to be assem-
bled on the front door step for the fun
of seeing the neighbors pass. Now
it will be much safer to take them out
behind the barn, where good grass and
playful zephyrs are somewhat shelter
ed from automobile dust.
And so the poetic house by the
side of the road" is not as popular as
it was. The more secluded bypath.
whose beribboned track may be hard
going until you reach the main line of
travel, has it's compensations. Dew is
better for a lawn than dirt, dust is
poor fodder, and the old program pro-
vided an ample sufficiency of wash
days!-Winfield Courier.
THE JAPS TO RULE?
A returned traveller and teacher in
Japan declares the Japs believe that,
one day, they are to rule the world.
Which would lead some of us to re-
mark, in passing. Fair enough" 1t Is
quite a job, this ruling the world, and
it might as well allow Japan to wor-
ry about it. Japan is declared - be
quite "cocky'' about the general run of
things over the bosom of the earth
and to assure itself it would be more
ably managed were it in other hands.
Japan is quite a forward nation. 1t
has been getting western ideas like
boom times. 1t has been going up quite
rapidly recently. But there is a general
idea that a fast march up a hill Of
ten is followed by an accelerated des-
cent. Japan may want to rule the
world, but it must be known that the
nation that does so will find little time
for other Observation-Disclosures News.
