You know a farmer is a gentleman who stays on his farm and makes a living for his family.

Only man; not women or children, or I leasts or birds or flowera only man is vile. What a contrast to the view be fore rie is found iu the columns of the morning paper, which has just been banded kt me. How ehTckiog are the big head lines that tell of a single day's mi ry and disaster! When, oh, when, will all these horrible things cease to be! Only man is vile. If he was made in the image of God, why should he be doing the deeds of the devil? The cost f crime in money is a fearful sum. The cost of courts and prisons and guards and police; the cost in loss of time and labor: but thia is nothing com with the cost in grief and misery. Here i a letter that is but a sample of what comes to me in my daily mail, for the ior ores tun 8 think that I can do some . thing- I.ebasos, Fla. My Dear Sir: ill you pjease give the name and address of some orphan asylum in Georgia that would probably take three poor little orj.han girls into their home. 'Their mother is dead (died from a t roken heart) and the father is in jail and has been sentenced to lie hanged. "He is much distressed about his helpless children, and begs that you get them into some orphan home. The family are of no kin to me, bat I sym pathize with the poor little orphan girls in their very sad condition. ' ' I'lease answer me very soon and let me know if they will be shut out because they live out of your state. 'C. C. Gaines, "Postmaster at Lebanon." Now, Mr. Hemphill and Mr. Crumley, can't you make room for these children? May the good Lord have mercy upon them! What is the world coming to?

England never freed her own - slaves until 1845, t a it a 1 . . uui mat euiior uoesnt Enow tney ever had any. Our southern fathers never imported any; they bought them from the yankees, traders from Eogland and Massachuetts, who kept up the slave trade in partnership until 1857. The last slaver bought was an American vessel with a mixed crew on the coast of Madagascar. A man told me be heard a Chicago drummer say, not long ago, that another drummer told him he heard of a Boston banker whe wrote to a Chicago broker and asked him if he didn't want to put some more money m Ptew England rum to ship to Africa. I expect they are at it yet. W hy, it was a very resiiectable business both in England and Massa chuetts just as long as they could find a market for the slaves. John Newton, the poet, the sweetes of a ll'com posers of hymns, the man who wrote: 'Amazing (rraee, bow sweet tbe sound , That saved a wretch like rac" . was a Blave trader, and made big money out of it.

Every day of his life he writes his mother a letter, long or short. And every day of her life his mother writes to him. Ia that a bad sign ? The young man is a trusted employee, having risen from the lowliest position to one of high respon sibility. Reader, do you think that it impairs that young man's standing with that firm to have it known that every day he writes bis mother, that his mother is his confidant, that he loves to oruin H hi time in her company, and kneel beside her in evening prayer Yon may put it down, reader, that that is not the sort of young man that turns out bad.

As Bill Arp would say, I have been ruminating a little since 1 came home. A man can think a little as well as farm. I have bee a thinking somewhat about the three big church cases. The Baptist church settled their ditficnlty on church history by accepting the resig nation of Dr. Whitsitt. Tbev were quibbling over a historical fact; and if it is against the voice of a majority of the brethren, no matter about history or facts, the fellow that said it must resign. Sometimes a fellow will argue against a fact but the fact remains after the argument is finished just the same as it was before. Dr. W hitsitt was right or wrong, one. If he was right and no living man in bis denominatiou known church history better then somebody else was wrong; Init it is not my fight and I don t want t wear any kicks or bruises on account of anythiug I say about it. It is settled now and I a.m glad of it, though I am sorry for Dr. W hitsitt. The big Briggs 6quabble was ended by the Episcopal church swallowing the Doctor from head to heels with all con tents in the package noted. But if the leading Episcopal biBhop in this coun try thinks that the saloon is tbe poor man s club I don t see why they should kick at Dr. Bnggs. I had rath r take in Briggp with all his heresies than to put a club in the hands of every mhite aproned saloon keeper in this country to fight the good people who would down his saloon and stop his debauch ing of humanity. I like Briggs better than I do Pi-tter. I think his heresy will do less barm than Bishop Potter's liberal views on the saloon question. Really, there is nothing out of perdi tion worse than a saloon, and when a church can take that in as a poor man's club, they ought to be able to masticate, swallow and digest anything else that comes. along. A church like that can take its place along with tbe alligators of Florida, which, when nothing else appears, masticate and live on piue knots. Tbe Methodist church with its bishops and book committee have decided that the Publishing House matter shall re main in statu quo until tbe next gen eral conference meets; that it is not a matter for any official or officials to amend or reeulate. and furthermore that if the parties complained at resign, they have no one into whose bands to place their resignation, and no one has the rignt to appoint tneir successor in office. Really, I have never seen - the need of their calling a general confer ence together on tbe subject. The gen eral conference was in session alter the transaction of the book agents and every delegate, with every bishop, had ample time and opportunity to see and know all the facts connected wun tne transaction. I am sure most of them did know the whole thing trom bottom to top. and with the general conference in session and a knowledge of all facts before them, if they did not act then, what is the use in calling another con ference ? I saw the Congressional Rec ord with all the testimony and facts published. It was "being circulated at the general conference last May at Bal timore. The thing was talked of a good deal, and with all the facts before many of the delegates (and if any delegate didn't know the facta, he must have been some old populist brother from the country), ' they re-elected their book atrents without opposition, and, if I Aa Atchison Globe. a Mia m iltr. Another Atchison girl who gets $40 a month for sitting in an office will re sign in a few weeks to wash dishes and cook for love and her board. When a girl has a new engagement ring she finds many occasions for feel ing if her back hair is in good order. Mean people ray that the man a widow selects to support her at ber hus band's funeral is the ooe she usually marries afterward. "Well, I see Mrs. Blank is breaking in," is the women's comment when they read in the paper that Mrs. Blank will give a recejition. By the time a man has saved up enough money to have a palm . and a brussels carpet in bis iarlor bis girt has reached tbe "company" age and he is not allowed to sit there. Several years ago an Atchison man married a slender, modest little darling. and everybody said it was a case of bawk and dove. Now the wife weighs twice as much as her husband, has whiskers and talks bass. When a woman is old and bilious she explains it in a poetical way by say ing she is fading away like a lily. When a woman begins to admire a man she begins to persecute him. There comes a time to every married woman when she has to use a sort of faith care on her belief in ber husband's affections. It is a pitiful truth that women trust their daughters wita men whom, their husbands wouldn't trust to open an account. A certain Atchison woman is always invited to serve tbe brick ice cream at parties for the reason that she cuts it in such thin slices. Would something terrible happen if a girl forgot to tie up those terrible but tons on the back of ber skirt, and is it possible under present fashion condi tions for a girl to dress without the as sistance of the neighbors?

To be continually telling a boy that be is a bad boy is more likely to make him worse than better. To give a class the reputation of being tbe "worst cl in school,". and t keep noising it abroad, is not likely to raise the moral tone or discipline of the class. A man who has served out a term in prison for crime finds it hard to show himself trustworthy, becane nobody trusts him. His repu tation as an ex-prisoner clings to him. and unless he is exceptionally strong of will, reform seems hopeless to him, and he sinks back to tbe level to which his bad reputation has beeu depreciating him. As tbe character of others depends largely upon their reputation, we should be careful how we handle that reputation. soap aa Kaeaar Utsvaae. New York World. Cholera, once a pestilence in presence of which medical science stood help less, is no longer regarded with serious apprehension by the health authorities of any clean city. Typhus and small pox, subtly contagious as they are. have been literally washed out or the list of diseases that are allowed to be come prevalent in any civilized com munity. A British scientific commis sion has officially declared that scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles could be forever eliminated from the list of maladies if only perfect cleanliness could be enforced for a single genera tion of men.

They thoroughly unterstood the situation and made the best of it. After the capture of that city we had to do police duty, that meaning two hours on and four ofT, night and day, for over two months. You will never have an idea of what a soldier's life is during hostilities until you have experienced it. On November 2 we were sent to Carite, a city just acroas the bay from Manila, which we had to guard, and where we remained unil Christmas Day, when we were loaded aboard the immense transport Arisona and sailed for Iloilo, 350 miles distant. We re mained on board the Arizona until the assault and capture of Iloilo, February 1 1. That day I shall never forget. Tbe booming of the big 8-inch guns and the horning city will ever be vivid in my memory, but the most miserable days I ever spent were aboard that ship. Just imagine, if you can, 1,400 soldiers aboard one boat. iou can readily imagine how we were fed and how monotonous the days were. I tell you when the first shot was fired from tbe Callao the boys nearly went mad. ''About G o'clock tbe morning of February 11 two Filipino officers, with their escorts, came over to our ship to collect port charges, and they were re ferred to General Miller, who was then in command, but has since retired. They stated their business to him, and our noble General refused, with thanks. They seemed very much put out, and returned to the city 'with blood in their eyes.' About two hours later they fired on the CaJlao, which was lying about 200 yards from shore, com manding their fort and the entrance to the harbor. The Callao immediately replied with her G-poundera,aud in leas than 30 minutes their fort was com pletely demolished. While thia was taking tJace the Boston was throwing shell after shell into the city proper and had it on firo in several places. Tbe Filipinos had made threats that before they would surrender the town they would lay it in ashes, and they certainly carried it out, for. when we were landed, about 1 P. M.. the city was a veritable hell. They had placed gasoline all over the town, and when they saw that we intended landing they touched it off, and today, with the ex ception of tbe water front, there is not a bnsinesa house and very few resi dences standing in the city. They tried to burn the water front, Uit we were too hot on their trail, so they 'vamoosed.' We did not attempt to follow them into the country, so we threw out outposts and went in camp for the night. The next morning we received orders to be in readinena at 3 P. M., with 200 rounds of ammunition each, but we were to reconnoitre the surrounding country, and at the time specified Company A, of which I am a member, together with Company C and one light battery, consisting of ooe Hotchkisa and one Galling, started out. and we had hardly gone half a mile, when we were fired on from a large banana and cocoanut grove, in which the enemy was concealed, and while we were in column of fours. The first volley wounded Corporal Sparks and Private Smith, of my company, and Lieutenant Bolies, of the battery. We immediately opened Grc on the grove, although we could not see the enemy, at the same time throwing out a skir mish line, which was very hard to do, as we had been fired on so unexpected ly that the men became demoralized for the time being, but soon recovered, aud we certainly made it hot for those black devils. Their bullets were aa thick as hail, and I can't for the life of me understand how more of us were not wounded. "We were ordered to make 50 yard dash's, drop- fire six shots, fill maga zines and make another 50-yard dash, using the same tactics until we reached the woods; then the general was wounded, and we made a charge for the city, which we succeeded in captur ing and driving the natives way tyond iU outskirts. We killed about 75 of them going through tbe streets of the town, as we had clear shooting, and were pouring it ino them aa fast as we like this country, and there are lot of good chances to make monaty. We think, since tbe capture of Malolos win about settle matters tor the time being, our regiment will be ordered back to the States shortly to recruit up. as we are very short or men." re- m X 111 a f I 0.
