"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jerico and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment, wounded him, leaving him dead, by chance a priest came that way but passed on the other side likewise a Levite came and passed by but a Samaritan as he journeyed, saw him and had compassion on him, bour.d up his wounds set him on his own beast and took him to an Inn, and took care of him and in departing, paid the host saying, "Whatever thou spendest more.

I will repay thee" and Jesus said, which of these thinks you was neighbor unto the wounded How few people end life without at some time having found themselves in need of another's The sick man need a physician, the poor man needs cash. Every man needs the help of his fellowman, The man who is down needs help to get up and what man more than the one who in the helplessness of a long run of fever has by the prescription of a physician become addicted to a narcotic which has practically disabled him. And could the good people of Hays better do the act of. the good Samaritan than they now have in: payfng an interest in one thus addicted who found himself powerless by his own struggle to rid himself of that which was! making a wreck jof his life. Receiving the help gladly end Ngratefully, 'word comes that he is gaining and is full of hope for the future, such deeds have more than! money value.

a Some low down two-legged skunk climbed the fence and walked on the new cement walk put in at the Dreany Lumber Yard last Wednesday. No Christian would have done such a trick. The above from the LaCrosse paper shows we were mild in our censure of the supposed christian who jumped the baricade onto the Rowlison new cement walk. The Continental Creamery Auditor was here this week and reports that the cream business between Abilene and Ellis has nearly doubled this year, in fact they are getting in such immense quantities, so much more than expected, they get behind in sending back the report of tests.

The following interesting local (to our town) appeared in Salina paper in Hays dispatches this week: "Frank Motz, editor of the Yoce" mento tar, is in town today."

Come and be Patriotic A girl who vcJ recently married was very original. Instead of having the customary march played at her wedding, the party walked down the aisle of the church while the choir sang "I Got Mine." On the going out trip the song was changed to '-Walked Right in and Turned Around and Walk ed Right Out Again." il 1 .1 cut me poys on tne outside got even by joining in the whistle "Beware, she is fooling thee, she is fooling thee." The Real Sport. The real sporting man is the Kansas farmer. In the fall of the vear he sows his wheat and takes a chance. It is an even break whether the wheat will be winter-killed or whether it will grow too rank.

When spriner comes il- .1 me xarmer scans tne clouds for rain with the same anxiety that a man at the round table turns on his cards xr-tv: i j. 1 iiwuuag nt; can ao can neip. There is nothing but to take the chance the future gives him. If it rains he wins big. If it is a drouth he draws again, plows under his wheat and plants corn.

If the moisture comes down he specu lates as to whether-it will be a flood. Possible chinch bugs, Hessian flies, hail and rust add excitement and suspense. If the grain grows, ripens and is cut. he trusts to the future once more as to whether he gets fifty cents or eighty cents a bushel. Finally he has a chance to get cars in which to ship and another chance that he dosen't get cars and that his grain will rot or lose in its From the time of plantim? until the returns are received for the shipment nearly a year later, the farmer has all the excitement of a baseball fan watching a game with the score nothing to nothing at the end of the 17th inning.

The gambler who plavs cards all night, the horseman who races his thoroughbred, the sport who bets on ball games, prize fights and city elections, all lead quiet lives besides the Kansas farmer who has to look future and failure in the face every day and who takes every chance that can occur with a brave heart and an undaunted belief that if there is a failure this year there will be a plenty next.

A. Hakksess, i City Clerk, Gjf Hays, Kansas. Florists say that some flowers when made into bouquets together will wilt in a very short time. Roses and mignonette, for example, are so destructive to each other that they will not last through a dinner. It is possible that the sweet scent of flowers was once a deadly odor which killed other plants likely to grow in the same soil, and thus protected the plant giving it out.

The "district court" of Trego county held a session "at chambers" in Topeka last Saturday to hear the arguments of Judge Monroe, Senator Hessin and W. E.
