whether he voluntarily allowed MS

BE PATIENT.
There is no country under tho sun
which does not have its drawbacks.
Some complaint arises on every hand
with regard to a locality's climate, soil
and people. 1t is not permitted man
10 find perfect clysium on this earth
vet many are there who have spent
wears Of restless travel to find the one
thing lacking to complete their ideal OF
perfection. Probably every state in the
Union has advantages over all the 9TH
crs, but none of them are by any means
perfect.
1t is a common expression, al am dis
gustcd with the country" which is cur
rent in every place; yet the utterer
hardly finds it convenient to ever take
his departure by reason of the disgust.
lie holds on until finally he becomes en-
thusiastic in is praises where once he
was loud in his curses, and he goes down
to the valley and shadow of death with
as much resignation rs if he had been
transported to the ideal land where he
only once could have been happy.
In Kansas We have our crOakers, and
many of them, too. We are perhaps all
too much inclined to grumble. Often
times, some ono is heard declaiming
against the dryness or the wetncss of
soil, the lack Of timber, the lack of build
ing material, the winds, the grasshop-
pers, the uncertainty of crops etc. They
do not stop to consider that VIC are all
pioneers; that but few years ago the
State was comparative wilderness; that
we have to contend with much that our
fathers had in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota. We
cannot expect that our State shall at
once have the even temperature, tho
certainty Of seasons, the timber, the
fruit, and all the advantages and luxur-
les, which dense population insures,
and determined, Industrious and thrifty
men, bring. When our fertile prairies
shall have been thickly settled, when
the prairie fires shall have less range,
when tho country shall have grown old
er,-thcn will the winds, hindered by
too many obstacles, have changed from
gales to soft breczes; forests will spring
up all about US, orchards will meet the
eye on every hand; moisture will be at.
tracted to the soil; the seasons will
bring, in regular order, bountiful har-
vests; the material for building will be
found in the stone hills about US, and be
brought to US by competing lines Of
rail.
We have faith in our country, and
look forward to the time when our State
shall be one of the richest and most
populous in the Union, renowned in all
lands for her remarkable fertility and
unbounded resources. We, who are
here, are the videttes in the grand march
Of civilization and must "learn to Ia Dor
and to wait" Many of our associates
have frequently gone in search OF balm
ier skies and eternal sunshine. but have
returned satisfied that Kansas is far the
hest. "Nxturs has done much for US,
and it is for rs to complete the good
work. BE contented, be industrious, be
frugal, and tho pioneers declining
years shall be crowned with plenty and
happiness.
