FIRE is still raging in Trim Hollow and
Oil Valley. Hundreds Of men are at
work endeavoring to confne and sub

greatest number of rigs and tanks OF
oil were consumed in Foster Crook

situation in all parts very perilous,
and the fire is liable to break out

to our state and its crops:
II is all Kansas. from near "a 10 102
degrees of longitude, but it is not eli
matically so. Perhaps, in time. the one
great lesson needed will be learned
that corn belongs to the eastern section
OF the state, and that beyond Salina the
small grain must be depended on. Then,
there Is another thing that seems to be
inherited from early times-the tendency
10 make more out of u Kansas grievance
than anywhere else under the sun. Il
may come from climatic causes. the
nervousness induced, by the stimulating
air of the prairies, but the failure of a
field of wheat creates a louder and wider
clamor than is made over county short
of crops elsewhere
Minnesota has suffered ten fold more
from grasshoppers than Kansas, vet the
fact is rarely referred to or known out
side her borders. And since we have
been noting crops in this part of the
west, we have seen more disastrous fail
ures in extent and number both, in
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky,
than in Kansas, and yet the world is
hardly the wiser for it, But this, per
haps, will cure itself as the country be-
comes older, and people on the new
frontier are able to provide for a season
ahead. But il is now so over one-third
Of the state, and this thing OF panic sen
sation should be stopped. The truth is
that SO far as the settled portions of Kan
sas are concerned, it is more reliable
state as to crops than either of the cen
trail states Iowa has hardly had one
good crop in four years, yet you have to
go among the people 10 find it out. The
rains of Kansas are abundant, but they
are more periodical than east of the
Mississippi, and for that reason more
certain. This is common sense, and il
is time to recognize the fact.

AS time goes on and books multiply,
says the Saturday Review, il must cease
to be considered discrediiable not to

TOBACCO.

Tobacco, now in almost universal use,
and enjoyed in one form or another by
all races and in all countries, met with
the greatest opposition when it had been
introduced into the Old Word from the
New, soon after Columbus discovery of
America. At first recommended for its
medicinal virtues, which were greatly
exaggerated, tobacco soon became an ar.
ticle of luxury. Several Popes, Urban
VIII and XI among them, launched
against it the thunders of the Roman
church; the priests and Sultans of Tur-
key denounced smoking as a crime,
Amuret ~ even going so far as TO de-
cree its punishment by the most frighful
forms of death. Later, in that country,
the pipes of smokers were thrust
through their noses. All this condemna-
tion, all these penalties, were in vain.
The use of tobacco steadily increased
and has increased ever since. 1t is now
the solace of rich and poor, of princes
and peasants, of scholars and savages
Albeit not prevalent in the east until the
seventeenth century, the Turks and Per
slams exceed all other nations in smok-
ing. In India all classes and both sexes
smoke. In China, the practice is uni
verSal; girls from the age of eight or
nine, wearing as appendage to their
dress silken pocket to hold tobacco
and pipe. Snuff taking is diminish
ed, and chewing does not seem to spread
materially; the smoking grows contin-
ually. Our aboriginals are belIev-
ed to have been the earliest con.
sumers of the plant. They have used it
from time immemOrial, smoking hav-
ing heen, and still being asso-
ciated with religion. 1t is connected
with all important transactions, as well
rs with worship. This calumet, or pipe
of peace, is deemed Indispensable to the
ratification of a treaty; smoking togeth-
er has even greater significance with
them than eating together has with civ
iliZed nations. and 1t is believed to &C.
ment friendship. They imagine that
the Great Spirit perceives a sweet SAVIOR
in the sacred plant ascends to heaven,
and that it is particularly acceptable to
the divine senses. 1t is remarkable that,
though tobacco was first used in the new
world, its use is probably less general
here now than in any other country.
The citizens of the republic chew more,
unhappily, than almost any nation. but
they smoke far less than Spaniards
Portuguese, Dutch, Germans, Russians,
Italians, or even the English. Perhaps
one reason why tobacco is SO relished
everywhere is that such persistent
efforts have been made to extirpate
the habit. What is violently opposed is
pretty apt to extend and in time take
deep root go

that alcohol is a pretty good thing 10
