In conversation this week with w. T.
Hall, one of tho best posted travelling
men on the road, We learned that the
business outlook in all the towns in
Kansas which he visited most flattering.
and that the merchants were in much
better spirits than was TO have been ex-
pected. He says that the financial de-
preston In the east made it necessary
for the jobbing houses to stir up their
country customers; aid that these in
turn made extraordinary efforts to col
lect from the retailbuyers. better than
eyer before. The consequence was that
the jobbers were paid, they paid the
eastern firms ard confidence was once
more restored. Theretail men in many
instances were not only able to pay
their bills when due, but in many in
stances discounted bills where before
they had never done so. The farmers
have been more economical this winter
than usual. and this has been the means
OF causing the retail merchant to buy
closer and avoid being overstocked, and
50 this spring the merchants will in re-
atty be in better fix that last year, and
the indications for prosperous season
are good. Mr.. Hall says that the house
he is with has had but one loss
within two years. He regards Medicine
Lodge as one of the best that he visits.
The meanest trick ever played on an
uhsuspecting citizen came to our llnowl-
edge this week. 1t appears that the
citizen had occasion during the recent
severe cold weather to take horseback
ride into the country, and having no
oyershoes, he asked Sam Dem how to
keep his feet warm. 'Use-cayenne pep
per" said Sam. Take about an ounce
and peuT it in your boot and you won't
know that the weather is even chilly"
The citizen did an directed and started
out. By the time he had gone a mile,
his feet were red-hot; so he pulled off
his boots; still they would not cool;then
off came his socks. and yet be felt that
they were roasting. He came TO the
river and getting down walked on the
ice as means of cooling off; but no re-
lief came. He mounted his horse and
rode back to town on a gallop, and as
he passed down Main street with his
bare feet sticking through the stirrups,
with his boots swaying across the sad-
die horn and his socks sticking out of
his pockets, the people stared, shook
tneir heads and mutttered, LIES got
EN- again.
