The peach crop in Kansas is good.
The Medicine Lodge Index says: The
peach crop this season far surpasses
any previous year in this county, and
two years will work a wonderful change
in our fruit crop. We were Informed
by one fruit tree man that he sold 5000
fruit trees in and around Medicine
Lodge this last spring and summer, and
if they all did half that we'll we will
have more fruit than we will know
what to do with in year of two.

PrecOcity.

We look upon children's forwardness
with appreciation and wonder Their
little sayings and innocent actions par
taking CT the wisdom or knowledge of
adults are considered beyond the mere
prattle of the child. Some children
have mature manners and initiate the
actions of older people to surprising
degree. The lisping infant or the pratt
Ting three-year old have understandings
far beyond the measure we naturally
accord. We berate them for their
childish follies and laud them with
earesses for some precocious freaks.
In this city there is family with two
children, both boys, one of the children
being three years old and the other a
tender child Of eighteen months. AS
usual. in families where there is affec-
ton and kindness for children. the be-
stowal Of little more attention to one
of the children will excite the envy or
jealousy of the other. Paterfamilias,
perhaps, has greater affection for the
first born but no less kindness for the
younger. How to divide paternal care
and attention upon these interesting
offsprings is something that cannot be
done with equal and exact justice to
both, unless both are willing to accept
the fathcrly embrace at the same time,
which neither will do. While one is
on the father knee the other must
"pout in an obscure part of the room.
The children in question may be more
marked in some respects than otter
children but they display no less or no
more jealousy than the average child.
A particular feature of the three-year
boy Under consideration was strongly
shown one day last week, upon the ar
rival of his father. The two children
sought the father smile and embrace,
but the older boy did not wish to divide
the paternal caress. Here is where the
young hopeful displayed infantile dip
lomacy worthy of the emulation of
older minds. He went to the door of
an adjoining room and called his tottling
brother thither. Like the ingenious
spider to the innocentfy he invited the
youngster to the next room, and slam
ming the door upon him said, papa S
dot too many boys and then went to
enjoy his fathers attention solely. This
little episode caused much merriment
among those who are acquainted with
the family.
Another young hopeful in the person
of two and half years old girl shows
the youthful precocity above the aver
age Dodge City infant. Anna is diff
fident child towards strangers, but is
quite interesting and amusing at home.
From her birth she has had her grand
fathers care. One day this week she
was inquiring for her grandpa who was
called away, and would not be back
soon. Her mother to test the child
devotion, says, grandpa is no account,
fet him CO. to which Anna replies, Il
dom care if my grandpa was mig
ger boy, / would love him.. Annals
attachment for her grandpa will contin
ue whether the arid winds of Kansas
changes his color or not.

Chronoscope says of the "island dive
In drunken carousal on the Island
Sunday evening the boys made it ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable for the propri-
ctor. They demolished the adornments
of the bar, locked the landlord in the
basement, realized the enjoyment of
''frce whisky and beer, and consider
ing the place too foul for health or
comfort, proceeded to assist ventilation
by removing doors, windows, and siding
from the house.
