NEW LAWS Heart to Heart Talks. PUBLIC SALE! By EDWIN A. NYE. DESIRED OF LEGISLATURE The Kansas legislature will soon meet, and It Is presumed that the members will gather at Topeka with their coat pockets stuffed with bills, covering all the promises they made In the last political campaign. Probably these will Include 100 different bills for the repeal of the law cre FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.

Our members are expected to besides these, make an effort to secure leg Tuesday, Jan. i4, Commencing at 10 o'clock a. the following described property a boy wus missing. Men went everywhere In an organised search for the child.

The river was drugged. The parents were In an ugony of fear nnd anxiety. About 0 o'clock the boy. a six-year-old, returned to bis home and asked his mother If "the census man had gone." Some one bad told the little fellow thnt the census man "took bad boys away with him." The boy had done something wrong, some childish thing that was on his conscience, and when he saw the census man knock at the front door he ran out of the back door and hid himself for the day. To frighten a child thus Is a wicked thing to do and exceedingly harmful.

And yet this wickedness Is common, islation, suggested by O. J. Nugent, In his last fall senatorial campaign, which were examined into and endorsed by County Commissioner George Norton, Treasurer Jacob Schilling, Frank Melsenhelmer, and other citizens acquainted with the defects of the present system of county business. Mr. Nugent wants a law of the commission kind, which increases the duties of the county commissioners each member an overseer of the poor and bridge commissioner for his district.

Also, make them a board of auditors to check up each office and all county business; also let them have full sup 8 HEAD OF CATTLE 8 Four Cows, fresh soon Four yearling calves with Joe Gldden's Mrs. R. O. I Grover, of Stockton, Is visit-1 Ing her sister, Mrs. C.

To this, Frank Melsenhelmer expert accountant, and who has a better knowledge of how the present system works around In the court house than any one else In the county, would also add to the commissioners duties, the examination of the treasury, and thus do away with the present farcical method of examination. He would also have the commissioners exact monthly or quarterly statements of the officers, showing the fees received and exact that the fees reported be at Christmas dinner in honor or Marlon Jones, of Hiawatha, Mrs. Margaret Brown and sons, Sell and Robert; M.

Oftentimes you will hear a mother threaten her offspring, with some bogyman. "The black man will get you if you go out on the street!" shouts an unthinking mother to her baby. Fearful calamities are prophesied to children contingent upon their disobedience of some trivial rule of the household. Which Is a great mistake. Some day the child will find out the deception and lose confidence In Its mother's warnings, which Is no slight Injustice.

And the immediate effect, as In the case of this Pennsylvania boy, is to make the child miserable with apprehension. To put fear Into the heart of an Innocent babe is to depress its little heart, tighten Its little nerves and stunt its normal feelings. It is more than stupid thus to treat a little one. It is almost criminal. Courage is man's chief asset.

Fear Is his deadliest More and more as conditions grow harder, competition fiercer and the strife of life more strenuous does the man or woman of today need courage, coulidence and self control. To hamper the energies and paralyze the nerves of the men and women of tomorrow by the introduction of fear is to prevent them from doing what they ought to do or being what they ought to be. It is a crime not only against the individual, but against the race. Civilization today would be advanced a thousand years but for the superstition and dread caused by foolish fears. And superstition still lurks in the corners of man's brain because of the ghost stories of ages past.

What would you thiuk of a man who should deliberately start out at the age of seventy-two years to walk across this continent In ninety days? Crazy? No. certainly not, for he accomplished the task in only seventy-eight days. And this same courageous veteran had already walked across North America in the other direction in "bout 100 days.

The first trip was made through storms and bad weather and much difficulty. The old gentleman wai not satisfied with the record, so he turned around at Los Angeles and started back to New York city. How many men in the prime of life would be able to go forty-fire mile. day for even a week? Bn Edward Payson Weston, who performed the great feat, being- Interviewed, says: "Had I been forty-firs instead of seventy-two I would have walked ths 8,500 miles from Los Angeles to New York in sixty days instead of seventy-eight days." There is little doubt of it No man can hope to live to the age of seventy-two. much less do great walking stunts, who dissipates his vitality by incorrect habits of life.
