Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar to itsel and Unequalled by any other, When a young man and a young woman have been engaged a long time, they talk as rough to each other as married people. Fortunately the people are naturallj fair: let a big dog jump a little one on the streets and every man in sight will try to get a kick at the big dog. The most worthless young man finally becomes a father and tells his son how hard he worked when he was young. The average man is apt to blame his lack of wealth to his liberality.

The headache of a dude is an example of an aching void. The Ledger Monthly For February A Troy man has purchased a horseless carriage. Following her usual cycles Kansas, who was at her nadir in 1893, will be glistening in the bowl of the zenith about 1903. Lute Axline of Medicine Lodge points out that America would never have been discovered if it had not been for the expansion idea. The farmer who buys a neighboring quarter section in order to have more pasture or corn land is an expansionist, an imperialist and a sensible businessman.

There are several good towns in Kansas that are not in on the Asylum race yet, although, as the chuc-a-luck man calls, "twenty can play as well as one, gentlemen." Alfalfa is rapidly becoming popular with Kansas farmers. The acreage of this peculiar "clover" increased from 37,384 acres in 1891 to 171,334 acres in 1898. It makes excellent feed for stock. The Missouri Pacific has torn down its stations at Silverton and Carmi, thus performing a most telling trick against the thieves, who having already carried off the platforms, will find now that the railroads have hidden the buildings. The Traveler tells of a block in Ar.

kansas City which contains eight families. In teose families are five school teachers, and they are permitted to do all the talking because the other people don't like to talk before them for fear of making a mistake in grammar. At an early duy at Muscotah, then an Indian trading post, Fred Roach, a stationary engineer, was on the witness stand, asked by Smith, now a supreme judge in Kansas, what he (Roach) was doing on a certain day: "Runnin' an injun," he replied. "Kickapoo or Pottawatomie?" asked Smith. A strong flow of gas was struck last week in the gas well drilled on the Bradshaw farm, five miles north of town, on the Santa Fe.

The depth of the well is a little greater than that of the other wells in the neighborhood and was found in the lower ville Journal. The senate committee of agriculture has recommended for passage Senator Young's bill which will enable farmers to shoot and ship quail from their own premises. As the law now stands a farmer could be prosecuted for shooting for home consumption or the market quail from his farm, but the purpose of this new law is to amend the existing statute. A short time before harvest last yeai F. Maxwell, of near Hutchinson, purchased a 100 acre farm.

The purchase price was 51,000, and there was growing on the place 75 acres of wheat, the balance being pasture land. Mr. Maxwell took possession of the farm and in a short time harvested the wheat. He recently sold the crop for 81,200, almost enough to pay for the entire farm. Aside from the wheat land Sir.

Maxwell had the use of the 85 acres of pasture land. Mrs. Krebs, the Junction City murderess, was taken to the penitentiary last week. She has shown no signs of breaking down. Now that the sentence has been passed, she is the same woman that she was before the trial when her sons, husband and father-in-law pleaded with her to tell everything and throw herself upon the mercy of the court, assuring her that they would do everything in their power to help her.

She gave the same answer now that she did then that she is innocent, that her conscience is clear, and that she is willing to let fate take its course. Edwin Gould is negotiating for the purchase of the Eadcn ranch situated in Ellsworth county. The ranch contains 11,225 acres. A remarkable old lady died in Lourbon county last week at the age of 85. She was the last of a family of six sisters who many years ago promised a dying mother that they would never marry.

All kept the vow and lived together on a farm till death took them off one by one. Excursion Rates via Santa Fe Route. companies from employing any but competent engineers, conductors and dispatchers. The bill requires that engineers shall have served three years as firemen. Topeka.

C'oover, editor of the Wilson Echo, died last week. He has published the paper during the last twenty years. Reduced Kates via Santa I Route. AN AMERICAN. BEAUTY The above icture is reproduced infivt colors ck the cover of the February Ledger Monthly.

Size 10x13 ins. "My Father worketh hitherto," or until now. For six days the Lord was making heaven and earth, these days being divine days of long duration, and ending with the creation of man. Since then has been his seventh day, wherein he rested from the work of creation. "And I work." "The relation, as Meyer observes, is not that of imitation, or example, but of equality of will and procedure.

Jesus does not violate the divine ideal of the Sabbath by his holy activity on that day." M. R. Vincent. 18. "Therefore the Jews sought the more." They have now a second reason for their persecution.

"To kill less than this would do for them. They could have no peace so long as such a man lived. "Because he not only had broken the Sabbath." Not so much the law In any particular case as annulling the law and duty of Sabbath observance. "But said also." Claiming equality with God, which was opposed to the Jewish interpretation of the divine unity, but not against real unity. "Making himself equal with God." How and.

why this was accepted by Jesus as a true inference from what he said Is explained is. the next verse. 19. "The Son can do nothing of himself." He is so united with God that he only carries out his father's plan, and works in absolute unity with him. "What he seeth the Father do." The Father reveals his plans to the Son (v.

20). There is a unity of knowledge, of wisdom, and of action, which would be impossible between God and a mere man. Thus Jesus knew the Father's view of the Sabbath, and had a divine right to interpret its lav. 20. "For the Father lovcth the Son." To love is expressed by two words in the New Testament, Phileo and Agapao.

Agapao indicates a reasoning, discriminating attachment (the deliberate choice, of one out of a number) founded on the conviction that its object is worthy of esteem, or entitled to it on account of benefits bestowed. "Sheweth him all things." We can comprehend but little of what God does, though God does show us somt of the things he is doing in the world. "And he will shew him greater works than these." Such as the healing of the Impotent man Bethesda, and his other miracles; even the far greater marvels of life from the dead, of changes in the characters Of men, of a new kingdom transforming the world. "That ye," who now question my authority, "may marvel." For they could be astonished even if they would not believe, and the marvels might lead to faith. 21.

"For as the Father raiseth up the dead." This is one of "the greater things." "And quickeneth." Maketh alive. Referring to the great resurrection of the dead, and also to the spiritual life from death in sin, and the Father as the source of all life, natural and spiritual. "Even so the Son quickeneth." Maketh alive "whom he will." It is it. his power, dependent on no will but his own. Of course that power is exerted only according to infinite wisdom and love.

Herein he stood on a par with the Father. 22. "For the Father judgeth no man." Rather, For not even doth the Father, to whom the work of judging primarily and essentially belongs (Psa. 50: Ezek. 18: 30; Dan.

7: 10; John: 8: 50; Rom. 2: 16; 2 Tim. 4: Heb. 10: 30). Judgeth no man directly.

He has transferred thiB duty to the Son. 23. "Honor the Son, even as they honor the Father," etc. For they are one God. If Jesus is not divine, then to honor him thus, to love liim and trust him as a Savior, would lead us away from God.

Now, all honor and worship of the Son it honor and worship of the Father. Th more we love Christ, the more we lovt God. 24. "Verily, I say unto you." who have this power to give life, will now show you how every one may obtain everlasting life. It shall be given to every one "that heareth," listeneth to, attends to with a receptive mind, "my word, and believeth on him that sent me." Accepts him his heart as his Father, and Teacher, and Lord, commits himself unto him to obey him and receive the messenger he has sent.

"Hath everlasting life." It is already imparted to him, the new life, the heavenly life that never ends has begun in his soul, that life which nothing can destroy, which endures beyond the grave and grows fuller and richer as the ages roll on. "Shall not come into." Cometh not; the present tense states a general principle. "Condemnation." Better as R. judgment. "Is passed (out of) death unto (into) life." From the realm of death to the realm of life, as one passes from one kingdom to another, or one condition of existence to another.

25. "Verily, verily." Again marking the Importance of what Is said. "The hour is coming." It is drawing near; it is sure to come. "And now Is." It has already begun. "These words exclude the meaning of a bodily resurrection, the hour for which had not yet arrived." Cambridge Eible.

"When the dead." The spiritually dead; those without eternal life, as mentioned in v. 24. "Shall hear the voice of the Son of God." That voice shall sound so that the outward ear shall recognize It. "And they that hear." Hearten to. yield to so as to obey.

27. "Hath given him authority to Mr-ecute judgment." The word for authority Includes both authority and power. Hs is to be the judge day by day and ai the great Day of Judgment at the end of the world. "Because he is the or a) Son of man." (1) His character and teachings as shown by his presence In the world are the test. His very presence is a Judgment.

2) Being a Son of man, a representative man. one who has a feeling for our infirmities, and who wai "in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin," he is fitted to be our judge, and we can recognize that fitness and how kindly as well as justly he will Judgt is. THE FEBRUARY issue of the Ledger Monthly in the "American Beauty nmnhe.r. It contains reproductions KANSAS ITEMS OF INTEREST. There never has been a territorial governor, beginning with Steele, who did not use the veto freely.

In Kansas an ecclesiastic calls him self a' clergyman; his parishioners call him a minister, and the politician refers to him as a preacher. Every Kansan has said this when it was ten degrees below zero in Kansas and 40 below in Minnesota: "But the wind isn't blowing there." Charley. McDonald, an old ex-banker and ex-politician of Concordia, has gone to Cuba, with the intention of making that island his future home. Miss Erances Babcock plucked up courage the other night and gave a party, the list of those present probably being kept away from John Collins.

R. Troxel, his attorney. On that date Gillett will meet his creditors at Kansas City. Several of the horse and cattle stalls along the north side of the fair grounds at Wichita were burned Tuesday night. The origin of the fire is not known.

The jointists of Atchison pay S50 a month fine. Thirty-three joints exist in Atchison, but it keeps them scratching gravel to make a bare living for the jointists. The agriculturists are preparing to storm western Kansas again. There is no 'doubt of it. No Kansan ever refrained from scalding a drouth when he saw one.

A bill has been introduced in the Kansas legislature prohibiting people from carrying weapons to church. The butt of a revolver will scratch up the best pew made. Buffalo Jones will start on a lecture trip in the spring. He will travel by means of a team of buffalo hitched to a cart. It is said that he has a very interesting lecture.

A Kansas editor demands that the barber bill be amended to read that any barber cutting hair on Saturday night when everybody is waiting for a shave, shall be subject to a fine. Leavenworth has two Uniied States senators, one federal judge, one supreme judge, a federal prison, a federal fort, a soldier's home, a state penitentiary and a capacious appetite still operative. At a meeting of the county commis-! sioners of Sedgwick county it was decided to oner a general reward of $50 for the capture of each and every horse thief having stolen a horse in Sedgwick county. Since the Videttc, the first paper in Wichita, was started in 1870, there have been ninety other newspapers of various grades and kinds started in that city. They did not all persist in living.

There are 15-lkin3sof grasses known grown in Kansas. Some of these are rare and others are of no agricultural importance, while still others are weeds. There are sevaral species that arc of importance from the standpoint of grazing, but at this time only a few will be mentioned. In a short time a more complete enumeration and description will be issued as a bulletin from the Experiment Station. Kewton, from Thursday, has a paid fire department which will cost the town in salaries about 5170 a month.

Mrs. Elizabeth Trask, well known in central Kansas, once assistant postmaster of Emporia, in 1861, under Jacob Stotlcr, died in Chicago Monday. Judge Simpson of McPherson county holds that a wheelman has a right to half a country road. lie also has the right to run into a farm wagon and knock one of the large hind wheels off the Studebaker. James Bell, who was sent to the penitentiary from "Sedgwick county a short time ago for trying to pass a forged check, is an old offender and is tvanted in Iowa to answer the charge of forgery as soon as his term has expired in Kansas.
