John Mason Seelye, who passed out of
this life at his home In this city Febru-
airy End, was native Of Vermont, and
was born on his fathers farm in Ben
nington county, April 1, 1880, the son
of Barns and Bethany Seelye, and is
one of the sixth generation in descent
from Capt. Robert Seelye, the founder
of the family in America.
The first twenty years of his life
were spent in his native county where
he was reared a farmer. He obtained
his education in the district schools,
and in 1850 decided to seek opportunity
for advancement in the undeveloped
West.
Illinois, at that time in. the early
stages of settlement, seemed to him
the place for his activities, and he jour
neyed there, first stopping at Chicago,
where he was offered $50 acres OF land,
now in the heart of the city, for $500;
an offer he scoffed at, as 1t was virtu-
ally marsh and much better suited
for raising frogs than farming.
On July 4, 1850, he joined his brother,
Danforth Seelye, at Peoria, and shortly
after engaged in farming near that
city, and remained q resident of that
section until 1856, when he moved to
Marshall county. He was occupied in
farming and stock raising in Illinois
until 1890, when he disposed of his in
terests and came to Kansas, locating in
the city of Abilene.
Mr.. Seelye married at Kickapoo, H.,
Dec. %, Miss Ellen Seely who still sur
wives. To the union were born the fol-
lowing children: Franklin Danforth, a
manufacturer of proprietary remedies
at Oklahoma City, Okla; Albert who
died in 1863; Alvin William. a stockman
and farmer of Ellis county. Kansas;
Emma, the w1te of Wesley Organ, a
stockman of Julietta, Idaho; DR.. AL
fred Barns, of Abilene; Jennie, wife of
J. A. Gish of Abilene.
Mr.. Seelye retired from active bust
ness some years ago. During the
| twenty-five years that he resided in
Abilene he became acquainted with
many people and was universally es-
teemed. His fine manly qualities made
him loved in the home and admired by
the community. Honesty, candor,
kindly consideration and good judg-
ment were his prenominating qualities,
and these carried him successfully
through the business affairs of life and
brought a serene old age, and his
eighty-fve years were honorable and
useful ones.-Abilene Daily Chronicle.

but the most awful. page of humanity
is the one containing the brutal, debased
treatment of women. If what is writ
ten in the history of the past is true,
no one doubts it, it is almost beyond
modern day imagination to think our
ancestors were so universally inhuman.
Some man said, Making money is
the finest sport in the world This
man was like all other money-sports
drilled in f'frenzied finance" wants
you to play the game of money accord
ing to the decalogue, but he wants to
have marked cards." and a few
''aces" up his sleeve to use against you
at opportune moments. In playing
this "glad SPORT those who play it
according to the decalogue rules, feel
like the boy who refused to play the
game of ''Old Maid" He said the
reason he would not play was because
he was always ''it." So general soci-
ETY. is insisting on men, all classes of
men who enter the field of money
sport, - to play according to decalogue
rules or be classed as sharks" "sheI
men, or "holdups.' -
Most creeds of 1000 years ago are
only fit to occupy room In our mental
garrets. Old dogma-makers are now
looked upon as curios. They seem to
US to have had more time than heart,
and that their one ambition was to fur
nish the coming generations disagree
able things. We still have those
who hold only the ancient is worth hav-
ing, and they try to drive US back to
the thinking of our half civilized faith
ers; they try to make US believe those
were great days. do not believe it.
The best days are yet to come. When
you hear people speak of the ''good old
days, it makes you feel the speakers
have been dead for fifty years.
The reason the good people, the dear
people are not shouting themselves
hoarse over the Wilson preparedness
scare is because Congressman Kitchin,
the Democratic whip of the House,

years. 1t says to the common herd
that it was presidential political scare

and to assure him four years more tC

crease of per cent. The most of US
feel that if the 62-per cent now being

pared to meet any one Of the defunct
nations OF Europe after the close of

you know that men s thoughts and acts
are the fruit and crown of things; and
that he has no choice? Man seeks every
where and he can find nothing higher
or nobler than the expression of energy
in real men.
A man who win not accept the scien-
tific view of life is lost. He is wander
ing about in mighty maze. He must
be able to weigh his belief with his
reason, and he must not be afraid to
accept his conclusions. A man who
will not is immoral.
ANY man who accepts authority with
out questioning is mentally paralyzed.
A man who thinks must read biology,
psychology and sociology or forever re-
main an ignoramus.
4,416 years ago, Hammurabi wrote
his famous code against the inhumani-
ties of his age. I call attention to one
paragraph-''T cause justice to pre-
vail in the land, to destroy the wicked
| and evil, to prevent the strong from
depressing the weak, to enlighten the
land and to further the welfare of the
people" and honestly, does it not sound
modern and would it not be very bene-
fetal for the present age to have it
worked out in the courts of justice; in
the legislative halls of our nation and
in our private dealings?
One of the most disgusting things in
most public speakers is that eternally
referring to the common people" the
average man you know. Now there is
no such ''critter" in society that is
so glibly referred to. You never met
him in ''fiesh and blood" He is only
an oratorical "straw man" used to pin
arguments to, so the "orator" can lam
bast in his own way the "other fellow. .
hold that no man is an average
man." A man is unique and alone. He
does not represent nor is he like any
other man that ever lived. He is
worthy of redemption, and has been re-
deemed, and given a chance to matric-
ulate in the university of eternity, .
and God himself is Chancellor who ac-
cepts the recommendations of Jesus
Christ as to the fitness Of the soul to
enter.

have sometimes thought that it
would be good thing if we had some
Maxim silencers" to use upon lot of
society wheezers. Some people set
their mouths to running then go of
forgetting to return to stop them. But
most of these ''old wheezers" only use
blank cartridges. While they are noisy
and annoying, they are harmless.
Some people always act as though
they were scandalized at joke. But
am sure the most serious thing in al
language is q joke. Only real robust
men can stand joke because it is SO
serious. Remember humor is a great
safety-valve. Some of you readers will
remember this old sentence in your
grammars you had to parse: "Our sin
cerest.laughter is fraught with some
pain" We only gain the right to laugh
after we have really suffered. So jokes
grow out of the throbs of breaking
hearts.

you think about it, shapes our charac-
ter, and writes our destiny.
