NEGRO ARRESTED IN
BED A BURGLAR

Atlanta, Feb. 21.-In the person of
Walter Favors, a wounded negro,
whom the police arrested in bed, they
believe they havs found one of the
most successful professional burglars
in Atlanta.
When his home was raided last
night the officers found him living in
comfort and even luxury. The best of
curtains hung ON the windows; there
were fine brussels carpets and orien-
tai rugs, and in the dining room was a
fine lot of silver as any home could
boast Investigation developed that
the negro had furnished his home en-
tirely with stolen goods. A negro wo-
man named Kirk Lumpkin was arrest
ed as an acomplice at the same time.
Both have been bound over to the
higher court, pending further investi-
cation into their records by the detec-
tives.

Old nursery Rhymes.

Some Of our favorite nursery
rhymes can be traced back many hun
dreds of years. Sing Song of Six
pence" was popular in the sixteenth
century. Three Blind Mice" was
sung in the reign of James l. "The
Frog and the Mouse" amused the chill
dren in the days of Queen Elizabeth.
Girls and Boys Come Out to Play"
was well known in the reign Of
Charles H., and the immortal Hump
ty Dumpty" perhaps is of the greatest
antiquity.

reilly. And there is reason for
the pointing. In fact several good,
solid, valid, unimpeachable reas-
ons. In short they are:
1. Farrelly is a man of full man
hood, both physically and mentally.
His education and training have fit
ted him we'll for the serious and i'm
portant duties of a United States
Senator.
2. He is in line with, and abreast
of, the best progressive principles
that now ill the hearts and minds of
the American people.
3. He is honorable. After the
primary, when the question of judi
&c Thompson's eligibility was rais-
ed, and the papers we're full of SCH
smes and rumors of schemes to elect
somebody else besides Judge
Thompson to the United States Sen
ate, Mr.. Farrelly set his seal of dis
approval on any plan making him
party to any scheme to beat Thomp-
son. He absolutely refused to have
anything to do with it.
4. He has proved himself and
his ability as legislator by his
work. He is the author Of some of
the best laws now on the Kansas
statutes. Though he was one of
party in the State Senate,
his influence was felt In the enact
ment of every important law.
S. He has been a loyal and true
Democrat, always ready to give his
time and money to the good cause.
Time and again, when the Demo
Gratis needed someone to stand up
for Democratic principles against
the standpatism of Curtis, the soph-
istries of Jackson and the blind
partisanship of Bristow, Farrelly
always responded cheerfully and eff.
fectively, keeping alive the fire of
Democratic faith.
These are the reasons why the
Reporter IS, was and will be for Far

porter.

Promptly at eleven o'clock the
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs we're in

1t is joy to please when it can
be done, but pleasing men is not of
prime Importance in preaching. We
make no pretense to please every
body. We are deeply concerned in
pleasing God. The preaching of
the cross was to the Greeks foolish
ness. Paul created no little disturb
ance by his preaching, Peter and
John suffered imprisonment. Paul
was not wanting In courtesy. He
was one of the most courteous men
of his or any age, but being Gods
messenger he preached as Gods
messenger. The time will come
when men will not endure sound
teaching; but having itching ears,
[craving compliments will heap to
themselves teachers after their own
lusts.
There is a dangerous trend in
some of our modern preaching.
Timothy was told to preach the
word; be urgent in season and out
of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort,
with all-suffering and teaching. 1t
is certainly unbecoming in any gen
tleman to fail to consider the feel
ings of his audience. 1t is just as
unworthy to seek to Aatter and
please everybody. 1t is compli-
ment to any preacher when he can
present the. truth with sufficient
force that libertlnes who wait upon
his ministry will either repent or be
driven from under the cloak of re-
spectibillty. l envy the man who
is able to make such very uncom-

which should have been credited to
the Chanute Tribune. 1t was print
ed to show how the Democratic SEN

publican standpoint. Before any
candidate for the United States Sem

porter, after careful deliberation,
had expressed the opinion that Hugh
P. Farrelly was the right man to
make the race on the Democratic
ticket. And now, after number of
more or less excellent men of var
ious political shades have expressed
the opinion, each one for himself,
that he should be elected, the Re-
porter is still of the opinion that its
first choice was the best.
