Sickles said then that there had been
no real breach between them in the
thirty years' separation. They con-

repeatedly come to her husand s aid
with money in late years, the son has
said that her parents were not friend-

The General's money troubles have
been the thing that has kept him most
in the public eye since he passed 80.

A traveler, who had boarded the
train at Liberal, shed light on the
mystery with the statement:
"This is the most perfect mirage
I have seen in all the yeare I have
lived on the plains. These optical
illusions are common in early sum-
mer but I don't recall a mirage so
early in the season and none at any
time so perfect as this."
The little girl who made the discov-
ery wasn't satisfied. She had to ask:
"Mama, what is a mirage?"
The answers varied. The wise pas-
senger who had a dictionary in his
bag, oracularly declared that 'A mi-

Prof. J. H. McKenzle, who a few
days after the disaster of the Titanic
published, in pamphlet form, a poem
singing a dirge, as it were, over that
sad tragedy of the sea, has issued a
cond volume of his poems. In this
booklet he has atyied many new
lyrics, epics and sonnets since then
written and delighted his friends with
new evidences of his poetic gift. The
themes treated take in the full gam-
ut of human life, even the pleasant-
ries and humors of dialect. Prof. Mc-
Kenzie does not pretend to be a great
poet, yet he has produced verse that
some of the best men in the country
have praised as having given them
pleasure. Prof. McKenzle is a colored
educator and taught this term in
ushing where he gave great satis-
faction. His success, however, both
artistically and financially In verse
has almost tempted him to devote his
whole time to the Muses.

"Oh!" said the little girl. And the

That travel over the plains has not
lost all of the romantic charm it pos-

by the experience that befell passen-

Liberal and llucklin, Kansas, recently.
'"Ob mamma, look at that pretty

The exclamation came from a child.

each side of the track, distant a mile

several lakes, surrounded by stately 1
