Editors Wrote Truth

but skin deep and there are many
really good women who in their youth
had no more charm than Levenia has
now.
"The scribe who writes this was
presented with chunk of the brides
cake, said to have been baked by the
bride herself. A feeling Of friendship
for the bride impelled him to eat
part of it. If his health had permit
ted he would have been glad to have
eaten more. The cake, however, was
not entirely wasted; our dog, who ate
what we left has been i'll since, but is
now recovering. There is, however,
as truth compels us to admit, a look
of reproach on his face that haunts
us even when the dog is not present.
1--WE trust that Mr.. and Mrs. Lightly
may live long and prosper and that
they may have many children whom
they will rear up in the nurture and
admOnitiOn of the Lord. They should
not be necessarily discouraged con-
corning the appearance of their prog
eny. 1t has often happened that the
homeliest and gawkiest parents have
children Of good manners and pleas
ant appearance"
Fortunately, the editor, who did not
read the wedding notice until the pa
per had been run off, was able to
catch freight train out Of town be-
fore the paper fell into the hands of
the newly married couple or their rel
atives. When he reached the next
town he stopped and wrote detailed
explanation and apology to all part
les concerned, including a promise to
assist in mobbing the truthful man
if they so desired. 1t was three weeks,
however, before he felt it was safe for
him to return to the town. In the
meantime the truthful man had been
horsewhipped by the bride, licked by
the groom, and beat up by the concert
ed efforts of the fathers of the con-
tracing parties.

(TOpeka Capital.)

OIOpeka Capital
A BE PETERS says that he never
"A knew but one man who never
varied from the truth so far as be
knows, and that he was the most dis
agreeable sOn-of-a-gun he ever knew.
This man would go out of his way to
say things that were true enough, but
that didn't really need to be said. He
used to loaf around the office of the To-
cal paper, and one day when the editor
was up against it with some jobwork
that had to be out within a certain
time, he asked the truth teller to go ont
and write up a certain wedding. He
told the man of truth that the contract
ing parties were both of prominent
families and he wanted the account to
be as f1attering as possible. The truth
teller went to the wedding to report
and turned in the account without
showing it to the editor. The type
sticker was yelling for copy, so that
he could fill out the last half column
and make up the forms. So the ac-
count went into type as it was writ
ten, which was as follows:
'The representative of the Clipper
attended the wedding yesterday OF JON
as Lightly son of Hon. Cd Moses Light
" and Miss Levenia Sparrow, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Sparrow. The
groom was dressed as we'll as he
knew how to be, and, while his clothes
didn't fit him anywhere, that was not
his fault, nor was it the fault Of the
tailor who made the suit. If the Lord
saw fit to make Jonas bow-legged,
sway-backed and eWe-necked he no
doubt had some wise purpose in so
doing. When we look on Jonas we are
moved to say God moves in mysterious
ways his wonders to perform. Those
who are best acquainted with the
bridegroom say that there is more in
him than his appearance would indi-
cate, which is not saying a great deal,
but which is not saying a great deal,
but which we think may be truthful
ly said.
'The bride, who has a complexion
like an albino, for some unknown
reason chose to dress in deep red.
She was probably induced to do this
by some enemy posing as a friend. 1t
was a low-down advantage of an I'M
sophisticated girl. Levenia is not a
bad sort at all, and will in all prob
ability develop in time into reason
ably capable housewife. In time her
neighbors will forget her carrot hair

torical event Apples fell before New
ton was born, and cows ate them.
Mr.. Bell Never Ceased in Efforts.
From that afternoon of June 2,
1875, the goal was in sight. Mr.. Bell
resigned his teaching position at Bos-
ton University, and gave all his atten-
ton to his experimental work.
Through a long a wearisome course of
research, Mr.. Bells enthusiasm never
slackened. Finally on March 10, 1876
he succeeded in transmitting the hui
man voice clearly and thoroughly over
the wire.
First Wire Apparatus In Boston.
"The apparatus was ready for a
try-out in the following October, and
the use of a private telegraph line be-
longing to the Walworth Manufacture
ing company was obtained. This wire
ran from their office in Wildly street,
Boston, to their factory in Cambridge
port, Mass, across the Charles river,
about two miles distant. The even

the test. Mr.. Bell took charge of the
Kilby street end, and 1 of the Cam
bridgeport end. On receiving the sig
nal agreed upon through the tele-
graph instrument, I disconnected it
from the circuit and connected the
telephone instruments. | listened for
Mr.. Bells voice. 1 could hear only
the faintest murmur, reminding me of
the first sounds 1 had heard in the
early experiments more than year
before that.
For a while it seemed that we
were doomed to failure on this test.
AS a last resort, I traced the wires,
and found a high-resistance telegraph
relay in the circuit. cut this out,
ran back to the telephone and listened
That relay had been the sole cause of
the trouble. For clearly and distinct
~ from the instrument came the
sound of Mr.. Bells voice, and we found
we could talk with perfect ease, al
though we were two miles apart.
1--WE wrote down what each one had
said, and later comparison showed
an almost perfect accuracy of trans
mission. BY this means the first con-
versation ever carried on by tele-
phone was preserved.

Benefits of Diversion

lowers to that extent the average of
public morals. Every man who en-
ters into the political life of his COM
munity raises, to that extent, the po-
litical tone.
And why should any man hesitate
to take part in practical politics? 1t
is the sport Of kings, princes and
mighty leaders, It is the field of states
men. And the prize Of success is the
molding of human destinites. Not
merely for the sake of office should
man enter although there
is nothing in Officeholding itself that
should be considered degrading
for the advancement of great policies
and the support of worthy admins
traitors of affairs.
Government is destined to play a
greater and ever greater part in the
affairs Of mankind. Hence, individu-
al success may be aided or hindered
by political action. There is, there
fore, an ever growing necessity for
better government. Not merely for
more honest government, nor yet for
more efficient administration, but for
a harmonizing of political action with
natural laws.
The social and political structures
are as much subject to law as the
physical, and it is as impossible to
have harmony in the state and in So
ciety-except as it is based upon the
laws of nature-as it is to have order
in the material world without observ-
ing the laws of mechanics.
These laws can be known; many Of
them are known. Man can avail him
self of them, and thereby make his
political institutions conform to the
natural order. If, in his short-sight-
edness, he is content to shrug his
shoulders and leave it all to place
seeking politicians, he may be sure
that his reward will be in proportion
only to his effort. But if he will ap-
ply himself intelligently, open his
mind to the new problems and exam
inc all questions upon their merits,
he need not despair of finding the
truth, and, having found it, he has
Ol1y " cuFOCctCS IL 4lI111SCAL III VI uS1
to make others about him see it.
This is work Of far-reaching con-
sequences. And for the time and eff
fort expended it will yield the rich
est returns. 1t appeals particularly
to the well-to-do and to those whose
vocation has resulted in success.
What is more pathetic than the at
tempts of the rich to enjoy them
selves? The normal family wants
pleasantly located home, with suffi-
cient house room for the little COM
forts and reinements and a yard with
a few flowers, shrubs and shade trees.
But the rich family must have land
enough for an estate, with a house
large enough for hotel and with all
the trappings paraphernalia design
ed to fret the human spirit. The mas
ter of the estate-unlike the home
owner who prunes his vines and digs
about their roots put it in charge
Of a head gardener, who has enough
underlings to run twenty farms, all
engaged in a vain effort to make one
family happy.
Vain effort! Happiness is not found
in that way. 1t can no more thrive in
such an unsocial atmosphere than the
rare orchids in the green house can
withstand the wintry blasts.

(Stoughton Cooley in Chicago Herald)
A S the stress of life becomes keen
"A er and man presses on under
whip and spur with redoubled speed
it becomes increasingly apparent that
there must be compensating interests.
No man can devote all his efforts to
one purpose, no matter how worthy
it may be, without becoming warped
and biased, thereby being rendered
less capable of attaining the end IN
view.
1t is not so difficult for a man to
find his vocation in trade, business or
profession, but it is sometimes hard
for him to find a fitting avocation.
The more satisfied and successful he
may be, however, in his vocation, the
greater the necessity for a counter
balancing avocation. For it is no less
true to-day than it was two thousand
years ago that i'll profteth a man
to gain the whole world and lose his
own soul.
The example OF a Jay Gould-in
whom the desire for material success
was so overmastering that it led him
headlong in his business career, un-
able to take thought of those about
him or of the society in which he
moved, until at last, his strength spent
he had but little to his credit but
money-is repeated in degree all the
way down the line to the least Of
those whose ideal is business success.
Man to be a man must have other in
terests. He must be connected with
some interest that, from time to time,
will draw him out of himself, take
his thoughts from his business and
turn them upon some of the problems
of civilization that await solution.
And what interest is more inviting
to a man than the various forms Of
social service that have come Of late
into the political field? Great ques-
tons bearing not only upon business
but upon the development of human
character, are entering practical poll
tics, and we cannot shirk our respon-
sibilities if we would. We cannot say
we are neither for or against given
question. For if we keep entirely
aloof from the discussion and the cleo
ton, we pass a negative judgment,
and cast a negative vote, and to that
extent make ourselves responsible for
the political action. If the good cause
fails of success, we are to blame for
that failure; if a bad cause succeeds,
we are in the same degree response
BILE.
Since we are from the nature of
things a part Of the social life and
responsible for its advancement or
decay, it is better that we boldly ac-
cept the responsibility and put forth
an intelligent effort to discharge our
duty. Let no man excuse himself by
saying that politics is corrupt; that
politicians are incorrigible; that con-
ditions are irremedial. Politics re-
fleets the public conscience; political
actions marks the public will. Every
intelligent and conscientious man
who remains aloof from political life
