Fanatic I" they said; yes, he stood for the truth, Defended it alway by day and by night; He wrowrht for the good of the children and youth, Well knowing tho worth of their souls .in Ood's sight. Fanatic was he? Tcs, he spent time and strength In labors of love for the tempted and tossed, No toil was too great, no trifle too small To offer to Him for the aeuls that were lost. Fanatlo was he? Vet he oheerf ully gave Of his income so small, to those who had lees, , And the poor and the lowly, the sad ones of earth. Had cause this " fanatic " to love and to bless. Fanatic was he? Yes, the world flitted by, With its laughter and song, its jest and its jeer; Thoy pitied him so. e they said as they went, For they fanoied his life bitter, cheeriest and drear. . For they had their pleasures, their wine and their glee. .':'.: , :; , ' And life was to them gay, and merry, and bright, They lived for themselves, while he toiled for those Whom, born in the darkness, he brought to the light. Ah I little they know how the peace Ood doth give Dwelt deep in bit heart, sweet, abiding and strong. And how, when In sorrow o'er those whom he loved, Ood gave in the night-time Hit presence and song. And ono day be died and they laid him to rest On the sunny hillside, 'neath the grasses and flowers In the sorrowful hush of a heart-broken throng. Where lovingly God keepeth watch through the hours. Ah! happy forever, no longer to toll Alone, and in sorrow, and misunderstood, No longer "fanatic," but heir to a throne, With all the redeemed, the rejoicing and good. O Soul! thou bast won and thy hard race is o'er, Time's years are but few, and Eternity's long; Thy service of love for the tin-stricken earth Shall blossom for ever In gladness and song.

Crawford Drops Out in Favor of Ed' Itor Hudion Senator lagalU Chances. Topeka. Kan., Dec. 29. Governor Humphrey, in an interview, stated that h6 did not think he would appoint successor to Senator Plnmb before the end of the week. The governor has been importuned and harrassed so per eietently by delegations which urge the claims of the different candidates that he is about losing patience, The claims of J. W. Ady, United States district attorney for the district of Kansas, were first presented to the governor. Ex-Congressman S. R. Peters of Newton, Kan., backed by fh entire Seventh congressional district. made the presentation. He occupied the governor's time from 3 o'clock until 8 o'clock in the afternoon. Ex-Consrressman Perkins was fifth on the governor's list of candidates, but the . . . . delegation wmcn is wormng in tne ex congressman s interest stole a march on the other candidates and secured a sec ond hearing. The delegation is from Humphrey's district, and had simply called to pay respects to the governor. They were ten in number, and after they got into the governor's room thev took it by storm and the governor with it. State Senatoi Kirkpatrick made the nominating speech, and was fol owed by ouage j. a. west or Bourbon county ana J. a. Zelgler of Indeimdence. The governor had announced that onlvoffi cial office hours would be used in "hear' ing the clnims of the candidates, and wnen 4 ociocK arrived he shut up shop and went home. ' - Of all the candidates for the aDtxrint- ment ex-Senator Incalls eniovs the dis tinction of being the only one who has no lieutenants on' the ' ground working for him. In fact, he is not even an avowed candidate. His friends, how ever, say he would accept the appoint ment if it were tendered him. but he will not go into the scramble for the honor with the common herd. The ex senator has nearly all the 'ra-actical" politicians against him. They"urge that &a TtVii fcfJ IW v ?-he reWHns4Qfr' h-failed to trace lena mem nis vamauie aid m reclaiming tho rmmrf onw fni;v,u oniiVAA Paw. the . state from the Farmers' Alliance. But the ex-senator is not without backing. All the work that is beta? done in his in terest, however, is unsolicited and has the merit of spontaneity. He is unani mously endorsed by the people of his own town, Atchison, has an enthusiastic following from the Grand Army of the Republic, and is the idol of the young Republicans of the state. He is also in a position to be settled upon as a com promise candidate. He is making no fight and therefore no enemies. Another candidate dropped out of tho race. He is ex-Uovernor Crawford, who is in Washington. He telegraphed the governor that he was not a candidate and urged the appointment of Major J. n. .nua.son. TROTTING HORSE ASSOCIATION.
