The following im cident happened only a short time agOj, A stranger from the sand-dune regions of Garnett, encased in a rabbit skin trimmed overcoat, came to town, and on a sunny afternoon stood with Solicitor, roncelor in front of Wilkins' drug store engaged in an animated conversation. Presently a lady, young, well dressed and prepossessing in appearance, passed them on her way down street. "Who is that?" inquired the stranger, as Lis eyes followed her until she was lost behind the angle of the Pioneer store. "That's Mr. Blank's wife's sister," was the reply, and the conversation was resumed.

While they were talking, some minutes later another lady passed, somewhat older than tho other, and dressed in the height of fashion. The Gar-netter was evidently interested again. "Do you know that lady who just passed he asked his friend. "Why yes," was the response, "that's Mr. Blank's wife's sister." The sand-duner looked at him, made the remark that "she's a daisy," and then for the time being they forgot the gt-i.

They lighted a couple of Local-News cigars and were on the point of leaving each other when the attention of the Ottawa man was attracted to a comely female approaching them. "Here comes what some of our people consider a stylish woman," said he, addressing the "By Jove! I admire your taste," was the remark cf rabbit-skin after the lady had passed. "Do you know her?" communication will be considered.

80VIB. CARE OF CHILDREN. the Proper Education of Boya and Girls From Three to Six Years of Age. If mothers could only realize what critical period their children are passing through from the third to the sixth year, they would exercise more than ordinary care during that time. Not dnly physically but mentally and morally are they undergoing a change; change for better or worse, according to the care and attention they receive from their mothers and fathors.

A father is no more exempt from certain duties towards tho offspring than tho mother. He should always boar in mind that his assistance in the control of tho children is of more value to his tired wife than the presentation to her of a cpstly gift. It is at this time that children begin to notice papa's and mamma's bearinaj toward one another; let this always bo one of perfect courtesy and respect. Nothing so quickly destroys respect for parents as constant bickering in the presence of their children. The first thing a child should be taught is respect for his parents and elders; affection comes naturally with most children and is the most valuable aid in gaining control of their actions; next to that is respect, without it very little can bo accomplished for the child's welfare.

Parents should bear this in mind that children lose respect very soon upon hearing them disagree; nsing bitter cutting words to each other. This is inflicting tho first actual pain these baby hearts have been called upon to bear. In the presence of this the child experiences conflicting emotions, which ends in pity for one parent and contempt for tho other. parent, pause, consider before you lose this hold on the little being who has heretofore considered you perfect. Let there be unanimity of purpose in act, word and deed before these little creatures, who are so susceptible to every new impression, il yon would preserve their love and respect.

Where there are both boys and girls in the family, let it early understood that there is a certain amount of deference due the girls from the- boys; this has a refining influence upon the boys. An excellent way with boys is to teach them that they are tho natural protectors of their sisters. To sum it all np, increase the affection existing between them in every possible way. Reprove them for rudeness to one another, remembering at tho same time that they learn more from example than in any other way. Never laugh at pert speeches made by a child.

Most persons desire their children to be considered brighter than others. In consequence, as soon as the innocent little things can lisp a few words they are worked with and harassed until, in a parrot-like way, they commit to memory nursery rhymes, tho alphabet, which they are called upon to repeat before strangers until they become either bold in manner or painfully shy. Never repulse ft child who is of au inquiring turn of mind, answer him truthfully and as accurately as you can. It should be remembered that children are learning something, ne.w to them, every hour of the day. See to it that what i3 acquired is of the purest and best.

From the time a child is old enough to sit at the table, teach him the proper nsoef the knife, fork and spoon. Never allow a child to lean upon the table, habits such as that will accompany him all through life. He should be taught to wait patiently until his ciders are served. It is very important to carefully observe these minor points. By proper training in the beginning parents are saved annoyance and mortification in the future.

At this age children should be dieted as carefully as when they were infants. By this it is not meant that their diet should consist solely of milk; by no means, but do not fall into the error so widely prevalent, that children having obtained their teeth are capable of digesting all manner of food. This is the chief cause of destruction of life in children between three and six years of age. Their stomachs being totally unfitted for the rich food they are allowed to eat. Potatoes, meat, rice, oatmeal, brown bread, ripe fruit and as much milk as they can drink, is the proper diet for children of that age.

Jfra. E. L. Mumma, in Good Housekeeping. John Bunyan's Religion.

Bunyan's religion is thoroughly moral and practical. Great knowledge of Gospel mysteries is not a sufficient sign of grace; knowlodge without doing is "To know is a thing which pleoseth talkers and boasters, but to do is that which plcaseth God." Such is tho strain throughout. ,11 thero is any taint, it is that of spiritual militancy, which is inseparable from the nature of tlfo allegory. There i no real similarity between struggling against tho evil in your own heart and fighting armed assailant. A eerie." of physical efforts and encounter" must bo in somo mcasuro misleading as a representation of spiritual light, antl it was likely to bo particularly misleading In the enso of any sain) who had been In arms for tho oauo, and had learned to think less of conduct and self-control than of smiting the enemies of God.

The opposition was controlled by a few socialists, led by those who stopped the malitia train last summer at that towu when they were on their way to Parsons.

The fight really commenced at that time and has been hot ever since. The socialists were especially vindictive towards Mr. Sharpe. The ground was contested inch by inch by the republican, and all the humbuggcry and false hoods of the "Mixed Pickles." as the Republican denominated the worthy crowd who were lighting tho republicans, there mot with arguments and facts which resulted In their overthrow.
