Lytle, charged with burglary and
larceny, and James Clark, charged
with an assault and battery, escap-
inc. Nothing was known Of the al

In view of the fact that there

much more interest would be taken
in such matters by the people if they
were not called upon so often to dis
play their patriotism.

A IIawkeye Traveller Tells What
Kind OF n Stream the Mis-

From the Burlington Havkeyc
1t Isn't very dusty along the line Of the
K. c., St. J. and c. B, especially after
you leave St. Joseph, going south. The
dust blows out OF the Missouri river. It
is the only river 10 the world where dust
blows in great columns out Of the river
bed. The catfish come up to the surface
TO sneeze. From the great, wide.stretch-
ing sand. bars on the Kansas shore great
columns OF dust and sand about two
thousand feet high come whirling and
sweeping across the river and hide
the town and sweep through the
train and make everything so dry and
gritty that 4 man can light u match on
the roof OF his mouth. The Missouri
river is composed Of ak parts Of sand and
mud and fonr parts Of water. When the
wind blows very hard it dries the surface
OF the river and blows 1t away in clouds
Of dust. Itis just dreadful. The natural
color OF the river Ia seal brown, but when
It rains for two or three days At time
and gets the river pretty wet, it changes
TO heavy iron gray. Along rain will
make the river go thin il can easily be
poured from one vessel into another, like
a cocktail. When it is ordinarily dry,
however, 1t has TO be stirred with stick
before you can pour it out Of anything.
II has current Of about 90 miles an
hour, and perhaps the largest acreage Of
sand.bars 10 the square inch that was
ever planted. Steamboats, run down the
Missouri river. So do newspaper cor.
respondents. But II the river Is not fair
to look upon, there Is some OF the grand
est country on either side Of 1t the sun
ever shone upon. How such river ever
come to run through such paradise lie
more than can understand.
But there is nothing very wonderful
about that, suppose, rs there are great
many things in this incomprehensible old
world that can't and don't understand.
There are some things, suppose, that
nobody, except Col. Inge,soll, does un-
derstand.
Let US be content with our Ignorance,
and be grateful that there is one man who
knows It all.

Russia. Greatest Danger.

Neg York Tines.
OF all Russia's present dangers, the
greatest is the seemingly unavoidable ne
cessity Of keeping her Army Of oscupa-
ton encamped in Roumania and on the
unwholesome plains Of the Lower Danube
during the merciless heat OF 4 Turkish
summer. No one who has witnessed the
dreadful effect Of the "GhiEel" fever, can
think without shudder Of the multiple
ed horrors which must inevitably follow
the letting loose OF such scourge in the
midst OF an army numbering upwards OIL
hundred thousand men. Strolling
through a Russian camp some hot breeze,
less summer morning. you encounter q
young subaltern, frank and merry as q
schoolboy, who offers you cigarette, and
talks gleeiully Of the gayeties promised
him BY the St Petersburg season. when
the campaign shall be over. Presently
you notice the round, rudy face begin
ming TO look pale. and pinched, and tilmy
dimness creeping over the clear, bright
eyes. Then,he lays himselidoWn heavily,
and Instantly starts up again as II unable
to rest. Next morning hisskin Is aecked
with black spots like stains Of dried blood
and then follow overpoWering thirst and
headache, an intense longing for sleep
blending with torturing restlessness
till after several days Of unceasing agony
the sufferer falls into heavy stupol
which Is the cure iorerunner Of death
Such has been the end OF many 9 brave
map; and the deadly regions that witness
ed the destruction OF 5000 Russians in
1929, NAV yet see the same tragedy
repeated on still wider scale.

Josh billings on Marriage,

Sum marry bekause they have beer
highsted sum whar else; this IL cross
match, bay and sorrel pride makes il
endurable.
Sum marry for love without cent in
their pocket nor q friend in the world
nor drop Of pedigree. This looks despe'
rate, but Il is he strength ofthe game.
Sum marry bekauze they think vim
min will be scarce next year, and live to
wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry to get rid Of themselves
and diIeoyer that the game was one thai
two could play at, and neither win.
Sum marry the second time TO get even
and find it gambling game, the more
they put down the less they take up.
Sum marry TO be happy, and not fud
log 1t, wonder where all the happiness
goes 10 when it dies.
Sum marry, they can't tell why, and
live, they can't tell how.
Almost everybody gets mrrried, and i,
is good joke.
Sum marry in haste, and then sit down
and think 1t carefully over.
cum tuluh ~ ONcE Chieluiiy Auntt auS
then cit down and marry.
Both ways are right, il they hit the
mark.
Sum marry rakes tew convert them
This IL q little risky, and takes smart
missionary TO do 1t.
Sum marry coquetts. This is like buy.
ing q poor farm, heavy mortgaged, and
working the balance Cv yure days 10
clear oph the mortgages.
But, after all, married life il full as
certain as the dry goods business.
No man kan swear exactly whar he
