On a Santa Fe train coming out of Kansas City one night, was a mother and her brood of five four girls and one boy. They had left Illinois the day before, and were on their way to "the new country" where the husband and father has a claim which is the new home. The oldest girl ap peared about fifteen, and from that age down to the only boy, a chub by little fellow about four. 1 Their dress and manner showed I fllilt fhpo h'ld m hiaan rA.irrt in .Mt MIVJ IIMVJ IIWK UV.VO ivuitu III the midst of luxury and opulence, but withal they were model chil dren and scrupulously clean. The mother was thin and bony, her face slick and haggard with the long trip and the care of her prec ious Hock, for there were twenty four hours yet to the journey's end. It was after bedtime when the train left Kansas City, and the younger ones were soon yawning and scarcely able to keep awake. In fact, the pet of the family had closed his eyes and was fast ap proaching "shut-eye town," while the next eldest tugged at him while she looked appealingly to her mother with an expression that was pitiful. He mustn't go to sleep yet. The others began whis pering among themselves and then to the mother, as if something exciting had happened or would happen soon, all of which attracted the attention of the other passengers, who sat in wonderment as they tried to divine the cause of so much whispering to keep the last one awake. Presently the excitement of all this was made plain it was bed time and they had not said their prayers. Quietly, modestly, with out ostentation yes, even timidly the mother and children knelt together at the long seat, the baby bowing his head and rubbing with chubby hands his eyes that would hardly stay open, while the even ing prayers were said. Just For a moment, and then they arose, the children were made as comfortable as possible for the ! night, and soon all but the mother ; were asleep, while the moistened 1 eyes and quivering lips of the other ' passengers, the travelling men : with the grips, the politician with his schemes, the business man i with his worries yes, even the ' old reprobate of the News paid a j silent but a mighty tribute to the j greatest civilizing agent of all ages, the Christian religion, j God save the mother and her brood, bring them to their last home in peace. Wellington, Kan., News. May the Clouds Around the Set ting Sun Be Golden and Such As Lead the "Weather Wise" To Prophecy a Clear Morning. Do not be fretful because you have come to spectacles. While glasses look premature on a young man's nose, they are an adornment to an octogenarian's face. Besides that, when your eyesight is poor, you miss seeing a great many things unpleasant things that the younger are obliged to look at. Do not be worried because your ear is becoming dull. In this way you can escape being bored with many of the things that are said, if the gates of sound keep out much of the discord. If the hair is getting thin, it takes less time to comb it, and then it is not all the time fall ing down over your eyes; or if it be getting white, we think that col or is as respectable as any other that is the color of the snow and the blossoms and the clouds and all angelic habiliments. Do not worry because the time comes on when you must go into the next world. It is only a better room with brighter pictures, finer society and sweeter music. Robert Mac- Cheyne and John Knox and Har riet Newell, Mrs. Hemans, John Milton and Martin Luther will be good enough company for the most of us. The corn stalk standing in the field today, will not sigh dis mally when the huskers leap over the fence, and throwing their arms around the stack, swing it to the ground; it is only to take the gold en ear from the husk. Death for the aged Christian is only kusking time, and then the load goes in from the frosts into the garner. Our congratulations to those who are nearly done with the nuisances of this world. Give your staff to your little grandson to ride horse on. You are going to be young again and you will have no need for crutches. May the clouds around the setting sun be golden and such as lead the "weather wise' ' to prophecy a clear morning.
