Walt Mason in Emporia Gazette: I stood upon the corner.Tom, and watched the street parade, and shuddered when the bloodhounds passed nd scowled at folks and bayed: and Uncle Tom him self was there, the butt of many crime's, and none the worse although he'd died about a million times; and'Topsy gaily pranced along the middle of the road. she's slightly lame and spavined now but still she says she "growed " And Little Evacaroe along, with stately step and slow, the same old girl I used to see, some twenty years ago. She's rather tired of heaven now. so oft she's been up there, so, oft, mid green and crimson lights she's climbed the golden stair; so often she's been borne away by angels mild and meek, who bear her to the golden gates for seven bucks a week; these angles as they walked the street, seemed burdened .with their woe; the same old gang I used to see some twenty years ago. There is no change in Old Legree, that man of wrath and sin; he wears the same somebrero and has slug gers on his chin; the ice on which Eliza scoots is what we used to know the same old ice that wouldn't melt some twenty years ago.

It was understood that there would be but two licenses granted, same as last year, and there were but two applicants, H. O. Scbeidel and Frank G. Reilly, the same parties that bad licensee last year. The fee was continued at $1,250. Schei del's application was acted on favorably and a license granted him. In BeiUy'e case they refused to grant him a license because he desired to move into the brick building, from whioh he moved last spring because the board would not allow him to run there, and for the same reason as not, viz: the building ia owned or controlled by a brewing company. The result is that Reilly turned the key on his doors last night, his license ex piring at that time. In the mean time he has circulated a new petition, will publish the required' number 'of times, and if the board acts favorably ean open up in fifteen days in the building where he now is. HUXrHBBT.

Martin claimed that bis land was granted to the state by the government for school purposes prior to the grant to the original rialroail com pany and is contesting the matter in the courts.

Wal ter Cremeen had his right shoulder dis located. Boy was injured about the hips and the carriage was smashed into smithereens. . Take it all in all. the young folks got off lucky, although the expenses do not look small. Friday evening, April 24, 1908, the first wedding'ever held in Sand office occurred . It was also the first time that Justice J. E.Howlaad had officiated at such an important affair. To say that he did it with neatness and dispatch, and in a manner that would put the or dinary mininsterial officer to shame would be .putting ,it mild. The only thiagtnatheTorgottodo was to kiss the bride, and we do not understand that omission, for she looked good enough to kiss. However, we suppose the judge was too bashful. Mr. Pearl Antrim, son of G. F. Antrim, one of Merriok county V most substantial farmers, and Miss Litlie Knowles of lows, were married by Judge Howlandat 8:25 in the Sand office in the presence of a few friends.

' Deep Drifts and Flying Snow of Little Moment And Think of Itl A Whole Penny to Spend. They were plodding through the snow during the storm, little tots who were thinly clad, with blue faces and big bright eyes. Their little baby fin-' gere were peeping out "of ragged mit tens, wet with snow. Their shoes were filled with snow, because the buttons were oft at the top, and the tops -were loose. 4 One. of them was a little girl about six years old. She wore a calico dress and her stockings were patched with darning marks from knee to ankle. Around her neck she wore a woman's fur neck piece of the style of ten years ago. The other was a boy, and his thin little legs were covered "by trou sers which bore the signs of home tailoring. He swung his arms against his body for a full minute. "Why don't you do this?" he asked. "It's a dandy way to git warm." "'Cause girls can't act that way." lisped the other little tot. '.'Mamma says it ain't ladylike." But she eyed her companion with evident envy. The pair trudged, along, stumbling over "drifts and shading their eyes from the flying snow. ' As the girl held an arm before her eyes the snow was blown into her sleeve, leaving her arm chafed red. An automobile whisked by, and through the glass windows, the tots saw two other children, cozy and rosy and warm. "Gee," said the boy, "It would be fine to ride In one of them." "But just think if they tipped over," said the little philosopher by bis side. "And we ain't got far to go." They came to a crossing, and turned to cross the street. A prancing team passed them, held In check by a uni formed coachman. The little girl skipped out of harm's way just In the nick of time. "Let's run," said the boy. And they ran through the snow, piled high on the walks, until the girl lagged behind. "Gee," said the boy, "you ain't much of a runner." -He stretched his little legs and ran away half a block ahead of her. The girl stopped, breathless, and half-crying. The boy stopped, and stood throw ing snowballs at a signboard, trying to look unconcerned. When the .girl stopped again he looked' back. Run ning quickly, to meet her, he threw hi3 arms around her, half crying himself. "Gee," he said, "don't cry. Tou don't have to be a runner. I like you, anyway. Girls ain't got to run. I've got a penny." The girl stopped crying. Her face brightened. "Can you spend it, really?" she asked, shyly. "Bet I can. I earned It, shovelin' snow." "Then I guess I am able to walk as. far as the candy .store," she said. And away they went, the girl and the boy, cold forgotten, hand In' hand. "I like you, if you do make me run." whispered the woman of six. Milwau kee Free Press. Awful Punishment of Murderers.

I atsVl-M WORK CURIOUS ACCIDENTS. CAU$ID BY ICC AND.SNQW. Sudden Thaw . Use psnslbls far Traa sdisa in All Parts of the Earth Remarkable Disaster en the Zulser, , Zee. .Although scores of lives. are lost .yearly as a result of rash skaters ven turing oaMce too thin "to bear their . weight, yet the-worst tragedies of .frost are by a carious contradiction .those caused by thaw,, says' Pear- . sou's. Weekly. In February, four yearsagp, there ,wasa tremendous frost on the conti nent The' Vistula, among other .rivers, was covered vrttlTfics of im jBenss thicksets," and when the thaw "came aad ' the bonds of frost were loosened the roaring river became .choked -with gigantic .dams ot ice.- In Galicia, near Sxcueith. the floes grounded ia a. shallow part of the stream and instantly a vast barrier of Ice began to fear itself; while .behind it the choked river swelled, into a mighty lake, and. pouring over Its banks, Inundated the flat country for '. width of 19 miles. A regiment of sappers, armed with dynamite, arrived by special teals, but their efforts were of little use. iWlthla 24 hours no fewer than ten villages were, under water, 800 fam ilies were homeless, and nearly 70 peo 'pie were drowned. A dreadful disaster was that which happened a couple of winters ago at -Wieringen. on the Zulder Zee. This great' shallow Inland sea of brackish .water usually fresses every winter for a' long distance' out One January evening a number of people were amusing themselves skating off the village,, some at a considerable 4 dis tance from shore, when' suddenly 9 great floe, acres in extent, cracked away from the rest of the Ice, and a rapidly widening lane of water di vided a dozen skaters from ' the .shore. Some plunged In and swam back, but seven were .carried out to sea on. the floating Ice. Those on shore.. rushed for boats, but here the frost "completed its deadly work. The- boats were too tightly frozen. Into the . sand of the beactt. to be moved, and by the time one was loosened it was "dark. Next day the unhappy skaters were found frozen to death. On the low, sandy shores of Lake .Michigan stands the village of Sand point, a little place of wooden-built , houses, which Is oddly enough In habited only In winter. Its people are fishermen who catch their prey by cutting .holes in the ice when the. la'ke freezes. One night in February, 1907, a tremendous gale arose, and, before the sleeping inhabitants of five -of these little boxlike dwellings knew .what had happened, their homes, which were built without foundations, .were blown on, to the ice, and weut sliding out at a great speed across the frozen surface. One house -dropped into a water hole and its in habitants were drowned, but the others, fortunately, brought up safe against the edge of a long cape which runs out crescent fashion almost op posite the village. One of the most amazing tragedies of frost occurred In Colorado on a -February day 12 years ago. The tem perature was far below zero, but the air dry and clear and the sun shin ing with amazing brilliancy. Five "people, who were driving together' 'across the tract of forest reserve known as North park, d(d not really feel the cold. Suddenly the distant mountains dis appeared in a white mist and the "sun lost Its brilliancy. Presently one of the women put her hand up to her 'cheek, crying out that something hid stung her. A breeze began to blow and the. air became charged with a mist of fine particles which -glistened like diamond dust. They saw a settler, his face covered in a shawl, signaling to them furiously. They .drove to his house and he hurried them in. Before morning all the party was dreadfully ill and one wom an was dead. This fog is of fine ice particles, so intensely cold that they reach the lungs without melting. The Indians justly call this strange phe nomenon the white death. Spain In America. Not to know the history of Spain is not to know the history of America. The discoveries of the early explorers and colonizers are deeply Imbedded In the records of the Spanish empire at its mightiest period. The language they brought to tlUs hemisphere still prevails through an area on this side of the Atlantic almost four times that of the United States. Our coast line bristles with Spanish names from .Florida to the Straits of Vancovuer. Even to-day in our own southwest sev eral hundred thousand of our citi zens use the Spanish tongue. The barrier of language has been the great obstacle to a better knowl edge of and sympathy with people and things of Spanish origin. Only lately has the Spanish language been in cluded hi our school courses. Few Americans among the hosts of an .nual tourists have been Induced to see 'Spala with their own eyes and know 'its people. iv Save Us, from Our Friends.
