Kansas City journal: The rapid de-
Velopment of Kansas has been the won
der of the whole nation. She. became a
state twenty-five years ago, after having
passed through the most bitter struggle
against the introduction of slavery that
is on record. In these few years she
has gained population of over 1,OO0,-
600 and has taken an advanced position
on all questions of national importance.
The property in the state is valued at
1868, 2J5, 1861. Last year it raised more
than $24, OOO, 600 worth of wheat, 3d.
100000 worth of rye, 100000
worth of corn Sc, 1000, 600 worth of oats,
besides other farm products of great
value. The increase in value Of farm
animals in 1882 was S151, 871, 541.
Church property in the state is valued
at 5000, 900, and the school property
at 100000. The state, it is claimed,
is capable of sustaining population OF
1OO, 600, 900. What she will be hum
dred years hence is beyond the compre-
hension of people living to-day.

NUMBER e.
HOW TO LIVE LONG.

The following copied from Arthur's
Home Magazine, contains some very
valuable suggestions in regard to the
necessity of regular habits of living in
order to prolong life:
eve have, to great extent, the pow4
er of prolonging our lives. Living by
rule and obeying natures simple laws
may. seem very irksome to people at
first; but doing so becomes habit, and
one that tends to happiness, to comfort
and to length of days. A great deal
might be said about the benefits of reg
ularity in our modes of living. Old
people who have once settled down in a
kind of groove of life, cannot be unset
tied therefrom, even for a few DAYS.
without danger to health and life itself.
They may, perhaps have their regular
time for getting up in the morning, GER
tain methods of ablution, certain hours
for taking these, certain times for rest,
exercise and recreation, and hundred
other things, which, taken separately
may seem but trifie but taken in the
aggregate, make up their lives, and
they know and feel that they must not
be unsettled. The wheels of life will
run along in the grooves, but soon wear
out over rough, irregular roads. Hab-
its, whether good or bad, are easily
formed when one is young; but when
one advance in years, it is terribly diff
cult and Outlines dangerous to set them
aside. Therefore study if you would
live long, to be regular in your habits in
every way, and let your regularity have
q good tendency.

WYOMING WINDS.

The platform club had Congregated
IN the Thornburg Office this morning,
waiting for No. 4, which happened to
be little late. Judge Jones, who re-
turned from Cheyenne last night, was
holding forth in bis usual style to num-
Der of friends, and as the reporter APP
preached the group, he said:
''Why, you don't call this windy, do
youP While was down in Cheyenne
yesterday, I saw an empty flour barrel
stuck up against the side of brick
house, with nothing to hold it in that
position but the wind. It had been
there five days. Yes, sir. The wind
hadn't let up enough during that time
to let it Drop"
An old and well dressed gentleman
who had been standing near, and had
heard the judges statement, replied:
''Pardon me, sir, but cannot believe
that. have lived in Cheyenne twelve
years, and have never known the wind
to hold an empty barrel against the side
of a house longer than four days"
This started general conversation
on the subject of Wyoming winds in
general and Cheyenne winds in partic-
ular, and man who looked as though
he might be liar from somewhere near
Red Butts or Sherman, said that some
time last spring, while in Cheyenne, the
wind blew the sign off a dry goods
store and carried it across the street and
up against a harness shop, and held 1t
there for three weeks.
AS the party backed away from the
bar few minutes later, the train came
laundering in, and the convention adj
iourned.-LaramieB Boomerang.

A young and sentimental lady Of
Leavenworth who is very particular
where she is left to rot, has written
this request. ''Do not lay me down
by the ripping brooks side, lest bab-
bling lovers awake me from my dreams,
nor in the beautiful cemeteries in the
valleys, lest sight seers coming
over epitaphs distract me; but let my
last sleep be under the counter of the
merchant and the business man gener-
ally who never advertises. There is the
peace which passeth ali understanding
and a deep sleep on which neither the
buoyant football Of youth nor the wea-
~ shuttle and drag Of old age viii ever
intrude.

Through the intercessiOn of promi-
nent gentleman Governor st. John
promised to pardon Chas. Knox before
retiring from the Office. Before he did
so, Mrs. Knox called and requested the
governor not to issue the pardon, and,
consequently Charley continues in the
employ of the State. We also learn
that Mrs. Knox viii or has already app
piled for a bill of divorce she is en-
titled to by reason of her husband being
incarcerated in the States prison, and
upon receipt of the same, viii be mar

Whatlsa Good CITIZEN 2

In discussing what things are, and
what things are not implied in good
citizenship, the Oswego Independent
has this to say:
''There is a good deal said about
good citizenship in one way and anOth-
or, and men are called good citizens
who never do any harm and are in the
main good neighbors. Men who do no
harm are handy to have around when
there is nothing to do, but in time of q
fight or fire they don't amount to
much. Such men let things run their
own course. All that other folks do is
perfectly right with them. If a fight
occurs they run out of the way. If law
suits are going on they get out of the
way to avoid being witnesses or jurors.
If fires happen, they are to far away
to get there in time to do any good. If
election day has come they have failed
to register, or have to much to do to
spend time voting, and fooling around
the polls. To save nickle or little
time and trouble they cast aside SOW
ereign right for which kings have con-
tended, and for which armies have
fought the bloody contest on the field of
battle. Are they good citizensP By
neglect and don't careativeness about
such things we allow bad men to get
into Office, and into places of power
and trust, and then growl and grumble
because it is so. It is no mark of good
citizenship for to denounce the law of
the land or the officers set for it's de-
fence and enforcement. Suppose they
are laws that seem obnoxious, they
must have been favored by somebody,
somebody liked them or they would not
exist. We cannot justly set ourselves
up as supreme judges of the goodness
or badness of a law. Yet we have
heard a great deal about certain law
being of mo force'-a foolish law
one that nobody is bound to Obey and
'iron clad in it's provisions. Suppose
all this were true, which we do not ad-
NIT, is it mark of good citizenship in
use to abuse and villify laws that Leg
islature, elected by a majority of the
people, have madeP Let us reflect a
little, lest we act rashly and foOlishly
ourselves in the very things we are con-
demning. Good citizens will watch for
the general good, even at the sacrifice of
their own ease and pleasure

A Smart Man from Chicago.

A smart travelling man from Chicago,
tried to paralyze dining-roOm girl at
Fort Dodge, Iowa, during the snow
blockade. At dinner he ordered
''spOnge soup" and squat on fence"
The girl went into the kitchen and got
a quail and built fence on the plate
out of kindling wood. Then she got
a piece of sponge from the bathroom
and put it in the soup, and served his
order in the presence of several other
travelling men, who gave him the grand
laugh. The landlord charged him one
dollar extra for serving articles not on
the bill of fare, and it cost him six dol
lars for smokes and drinks to keep the
thing quiet.

MAKING TERMS.

At the battle of auckland Mills.
where the Michigan cavalry had it hot
and heavy for half day, sudden
flank movement of one of the regiments
cut off about 20 Confederates who had
dismounted and were sheltered by
fence. There was no escape for them,
and captain rode forward crying out:
Surrender! surrenderl Ifyou don't
surrender Wen riddle you!''
He had almost reached the fence
when a tall, long-haired "Johnny''
lifted himself up, threw one leg over
the top rail and cOolly called out:

''And you want US to surrender"
"Yes-at 'em boys.''
''Waal, now, Captig," continued the
old Confed., "don't be in such drat-
ted hurry. Here's nineteen of us here,
and the boys would like to know how
much you'll pay head and whether
we are to get the cash or take it out in

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING.

The Governor of Wyoming has given
more testimony in favor of woman suf-
frage as practiced in that territory. He
says that it has had benifcent effect
upon the politics and upon the govern
ment of the territory; that the women
take an interest in the election. and
that ''a smaller percentage of women
than of men stay away from the polls;
they are less persistent ofice-seekers
than the men, but when elected to Office
they have in every case done their duty
satisfactorily; they are accorded en-
tire liberty of action-frequently a wife
votes in opposition to her husband, and
it has even happened that wives have
worked and voted for one ticket when
their husbands were candidates on the
other. Chicago Tribune.
