Making Money.
Making money isn’t a living,
Isn’t knowing life at best;
isn’t thrilling to the noble
And heroic in our breast,
isn’t climbing toward the stan
dard
That your dreams set long ago
isn’t growing ever broader,
As a man should try to grow,
isn’t doing something better
Than the rabble of your time,
isn’t following the pathway
To heights that are sublime,
isn’t winning love and friendship
Such as toadies give—
Don’t keep merely making mon
ey
If you truly want to live—
Help a brother, help another,
Make life brighter, that’s the
call—
What to that is making money?
Making money, that is all
—Kansas City Times.

Dr. Baynum a Candidate.
While not in our bailiwick,
the Independent notes with
pleasure that Dr. W C. Baynum
is a candidate for the legislature
from Independence county. He
is a man of ability and progres
sive and the kind the state
needs. If elected, and we hope
he will be, he will help to ad
vance the interests of the whole
state.
A Pleasing Lecture.
The second number of the Ly
ceum course wras given at the
High School auditorium Thurs
day evening to a fair sized au
dienced only. The attraction
was a lecture on Palestine and
the customs of her people, given
by one of that ancient country’s
native sons, Julius Caesar Nay
The speaker is an artist in his
work, his every movement as he
glided over the platform, being
one of ease and grace.
Prom the moment he appeared
garbed in the rich flowing robes
of the East, until his last word
he held the close attention of his
audience. The account he gave
of the experiences of himself
and sister and the difficulties
they met in the mastery of the
English language upon their ar
rival here six years ago, he at
the age of sixteen, and she at
twelve, were most interesting,
and many of the mwere amus
ing.
The speaker closed with a
beautiful tribute to American
womanhood. The two numbers
on the Lyceum course have been
all that could be desired and the
citizens of Newport who appre
ciate the work or interests of
the public school should patron
ize this course more than they
do.
Purblind Mossback.
Nothing so astonishes the man of
routine formulas and precedents as
success attending original methods.
