AMUSEMENTS
If you have anything on your mind take it off when you go to "The Nominee," otherwise you are pretty sure to lose it during the evening. Fortunate are we, indeed, in having this delightful bit of merriment to while away an evening's length. The play is clean and rolling from beginning to end, one absurd situation leads to another from act to act till the climax of absurdity is reached, and the curtain falls on one of the cleverest comedies of the century. The play will be efficiently cast. Some of the people have been seen here before, notably Mr. Walter Walker and Miss Mildred St. Pierre, who added so much last season to the mirth of "A Bachelor's Honeymoon," and earlier in the present season delighted us with a first visit of "The Nominee." This lady and gentleman play the leading roles and play them well. The burden of the story devolves on them to tell and they are amply equal to the duty. The support is made up of an unusually capable company of associates.
Mr. Walter Walker's rendition of Jack Medford in "The Nominee," in the play of that name, is of a high standard. His well trained stage appearance and wonderful facial expressions can scarcely be discounted by Mr. Goodwin, who a few seasons ago showed us the bright and witty book. The entire company supporting Mr. Walker is very strong. Miss Mildred St. Pierre, the loving wife of the "Nominee," is forcible in acting her part so perfectly natural and free of stage affectation. His mother-in-law, impersonated by Mrs. Anne Mortimer, cannot be improved upon. The other members of the company are well up and clever. When that clever author, Henry Guy Carleton, penned this bright play, he built a monument to mirth which has amused at least two continents. England's peerless comedian, Charles Wyndlands kept the British laughing at its fetching absurdities, for ever so long. He also gave Americans a hint of his great art in the comedy when he was last on this side some ten years ago. As herein before mentioned, our own Nat Goodwin charmed us in his own genteel way not long ago. The play is still in most worthy keeping It will never suffer in its present company

Lincoln's Inner Life.
Lincoln's moral nature will be misunderstood and wrongly valued by all who are hypnotized by the letter and forget the spirit, strain at gnats and swallow camels, and are habitually busy with the beams in their neighbor's eyes. The typical Pharisee, unable to praise the real Lincoln, has treated him after the manner of a funeral eulogy. The true Lincoln was not a prophet crying in the wilderness of which he had no doubt and which he alone had heard. He was a pilgrim whose progress to glory was marked by every vicissitude. Much of life he stood and waited for light, doing in the meantime only the little things which his hand found to do. Even when he was chosen pilot, he did not pretend to know all the currents and rocks, or to foresee all the eddies of the storm. He waited for his inspiration from day to day, and believed that if he acted justly today tomorrow could be trusted to move toward righteousness.
How bitterly he longed for light, how he even wept for it, when so many about him thought the great questions of right and wrong were easy! Political problems could not to his mind take the neat simplicity with which they were seen, for instance, from various points of view, by Wendell Phillips, by Stanton, by Cameron, by McChellan. His was the task of remembering that there was truth in every position, value in every method, even Cameron's, and of doing justice, as far as the ability was his, to all alike. In its best sense he constantly applied the rule, judge not. He was forced to give decisions, but he never did until they were inevitable, and he never judged in the sense of loftily passing moral sentences on people whose beliefs seemed to him mistaken. One of his dominating and shining qualities was the greatest of the virtues' Charity in every one of its beautiful meetings, pervaded him; not only in the moral sense of all-embracing love but the intellectual sense of comprehending sympathy was charity his guidin' light.
The inner life of a man like this must grow. It is a mistake to think Lincoln was one man on the prairie and another in the White House, or that he became deeply good and serious at any one period; but the moral element in him did put forth new strength constantly and hold a more majestic place in his total character at sixty than it did at thirty. His development was natural and regular, and the last of life was the best because his nature was so truly sound. — The Chautauquan.
THE STORY OF A PHI DELT PIN
The following story comes from Washington, D. C.;
When General Frederick Funston, of Kansas, now commanding a brigade in the Philippines, was in Kansas University he belonged to the Greek letter fraternity known as Phi Delta Theta, and always worse the badge upon his waistcoat until he lost it in Alaska four years ago. Early this winter, when workmen were engaged in tearing up the floor of an old skating rink in this city, now known as Convention hall, they found a badge of curious design among the dust on the ground under the cracks between the boards, and upon it was engraved the name of Fred Funston. Capt. Filer, a clerk in the pension office, a friend of Funston's, having learned of the discovery redeemed the badge from a bartender to whom the finder had traded it for drinks, and sent it to the Philippines to General Funston, who has acknowledged it with many thanks. Now the mystery is how did that badge find its way from Alaska to Washington and through the cracks of the floor of Convention Hall.

Kansas-Missouri Debate.
The good book tells us that man was made first and woman after him. Today she is still after him.
Think twice before you tell a girl you love her and then don't tell her. Nine times out of ten you don't love her.
Love matters are said to be made it heaven, but a good many end in the other place.
REVERIES OF A BACHELOR.
Broken hearts are generally mended so that they last a long time.
It is foolish to say that any girl's heart is yours alone. A girl's heart is generally controlled by a syndicate.
We notice that the girls in the fashion plates are always tall and slender. What does the short fat girl do for fashions?
The more we know of girls the more we are convinced that all they do besides sleeping and reading novels is to read novels and sleep.
The amount of money a boy has to spend nowadays to get a girl, will buy a good farm, and even then he often don't get her.
Why is it that the meaner and more worthless a boy is, the more popular he is with the girls.
A merchant will often trust his daughter with a young man that he wouldn't trust for 25 cents in merchandise
