A Rich SOIL


"HOw is the soil of Kansas ?''
asked one of the group, as the trav-
eler paused.
"Richest in the world, sir" was
the reply. 81 know New York

and he is now worth $4,000.
"Whew! What did he raise prin-
cipally ?"
II believe it was check, sir; but
they cOulden't exactly prove it on
him! Think of soil that will raise
a bank check for $3.50 to $4,000,
and in backward season at that.

A Bears Winter Nap.
Praapnff (OpfN MnGSanUaF

Mr.. James Hopper, of Edwards
burg, is the happy pOssessOr OF a
year old bear, for which he has
snug quarters prepared in the shed.
On the 9th of last December his
bearship, no doubt feeling drOwsy
retired to his quarters, and, much
to the surprise OF his owner, refused
to be coaXed out again. Even sa-
worry dishes placed at the door of
his box had not the slightest effect
upon him. Weeks passed into
months, and still bruin remained in
a state of Iethargy, until people be-
gan to look forward to the 18th Of
March, when all well regulated
bears are supposed to come forth
and look for their shadows. But
alas for the old story, he came not
forth, and it was not until the 18th
of the month that he cOndescended
to poke his brown nose out and
partake of little milk, and not
until the 9th of April that he may
be said to have partaken of Il square
meal. His long fast does not seem
to have disagreed with him, as he
looksj just as well as ever.
