They say that the love of money INGALLS JOTTINGS. Miss Alice Roberts is visiting' Mrs. M. II. Beveridge at preseutr Rev.

Morrison preached at Fort Dodge last Sunday. Boscoe Good has been quite sick as a result of vacillation, but is better. A Kansas boy seemed to have an abundance of coin and his parents were long in doubt over tho source of his revenue until his mother discovered a plucard on the back fence neatly printed with a pencil "Willie Jones will eat one small green worm for one cent, one largo green worm for two cents, one smull fuzzy worm for three cents, one large fuzzy worm for five cents, one small toad for twenty live cents." The Circle of K. S. and D.

have prepared a line collection of lunch baskets filled with a dainty lunch for two which they will sell at 25cts each at tho baud hall, Wednesday evening, February 20. Como all ye lads and lasses, come and help them and yourselves to have a good time and at the same time help thorn to roll up a good sum for a good cause, i repair the M. E. Church. A good literary and musicial program may be expected.

It will be published next week. K. C. L. or anything unusual nappens don't be backward about letting the people know it by recordiug the fact on a scrap ot pnper ana dropping it in the Sentikel item box at tho postolhce.

J. W. Phelps, who knows a good thing when he sees it, orders the Sentinel sent to Ins address at Ravanua, and deposits a dollar as a guarantee of good faith. Jim is a reformed Democrat who turned from the error of his ways a year or so ago. Ed Morrison last week sold a coming 8-year old mule for $75.

Mr. Stricltlor, the purchaser, is expected here in a short time to make further investments along the same line. It is hardly necessary to add that there is good money iu raising mules in this country. A sleighing party of young folks visited Miss Lena Steinkueh-ler at her home seven miles north of town Tuesday evening. They were royally entertained and treated to a fine supper before starting to town which, so we are told, caused some of the young ladies to imitate Jonah and the whale on the return trip.

Moral never mix suuer kraut and oysters. Dave Heryer, the Hutchinson drummer, says his trade is increasing wonderfully and vows that before another year rolls round ho will be making his territory in a horseless carriage a spring wagon drawn by two mules. Laying all jokes aside, Davo is thinking seriously of investing in an automobile says it is a time and money saver. And Dave ought to know in fact ho does know. Cum, bu i Hay.

Nallou. Here is an 'instance of History repeating itself. About two thousand years ago that King of men, Jesus of Nazareth, took scourgo of small eords and drove out the money changes and told them not to make his Father's house a den of thieves. Mrs. Nu tion is doing the same with her hatchet.

She says to these money changes of today "stop this mak ing thoso temples of Our rather dous of thieves. How many men are serving terms in the peniten tiary today who never would have stolen had not liquor incited them to it? As to her smashing up somebody's furniture she has only attacked that usod in mak ing criminals for the people who are taxed to support them as the criminal reoords will prove, Three fourths of the criminals aro made such while under the influ ence of strong drink. She is only destroying that that is used to do stroy and the law of compensa tion is Men think they can some how fool God, but He says "Be nut deoeived, Uod is not mocked what a man sows that shull he also reap." You cunnot do wrong and fuel right. Mus. K.

C. is the root of all evil. The truth is that it is not the love of money but this love of idleness. Laziness is the mother of crime. People who love money and work for it havo little time to raise Ned.

Loafers fill the jails. Loaling men have time to think up schemes that make society shad ier. women are those whose doors are the portals of hell. Loafers are criminals in the chrysalis, hether rich or poor educated or ignorant, coarse or retined, white or black, savage or civilized. A law against loafers properly enforced against the rich as well as against the poor, would stop more than half tho crime in tho world.

Work is man's greatest blessings. Take away the op portunity to work and civilization will slump to barbarism iu ten years. When people feed well, whether on corn bread and bacon or on thick rare porterhouse, and sit nrouud and Jet the devil run through their blood in idleness, nothing but their own cowardice can keep their hands from wickedness. Food is meant to sustain work. Work lifts man from the animals.

Work brings his soul into the harmony with creation which gives him moral strength and courage. Laws should not be made with pity nor with mercy iu them for drones. The world is a workshop. Heaven when it is properly understood, will be found to La not a place where people Hoot around in their nighties "on llowery beds of will be a place where people will find nil tho work they want of the kind that they do the best and are happy iu the doing of it. Hell will be the place where the loafers will be crowded with yesterday's work.

Whether you aro doing tomorrow's work or yesterday's work is the toBt of vour success. But it is all work iu this world and there is no hap piness, no virtue, nothing of praise or of good report, without hard, joy-giving work. Go to work. Emporia Gazette. ('Mnell Cimarron, Feb.

Senator Smith's bill conferring the power upon tho state executive council to designate an official newspaper in each county will meet with much opposition from the country press. Deprive these papers of the annual light over the county printing and half the joy of living is gone. Deprive the country editor of his prerogative to refer to his successful rival, as "that unprincipled rascal that owns the Blade," or "tho mongrel cur who calls himself a man," and you take somo of tho happiest hours from tho editor's life. Let tho law re-itium as it is Bro. Smith.
