THE RAMBLER.

Yesterday was one Of wonderful activity
among real estate men in this city, and many
heavy transactions took place.
Geo. w. Blackwelder, that enterprising
speculator who knows . good thing when he
see it, bought the Episcopal patronage prop
erty, corner of Market and First street, for
$l5, 900, and he had not made the trade any
too soon, because within An hour after the
bargain was made, Messrs. j. G. WilliamS
Daugherty and Sale, of Indiana, whom We
noticed in these columns yesterday, had
made mp their minds to take It Finding
this property gone, and being bent on hav-
ing Wichita property, they entered into me-
gotiations with Chris Kimmerle for his resi-
dence property, just north of the Episcopal
corner, and through the agency Of Frank
Williams, bought it for S11.5oO, making
S26, 500 paid for property in that block yes
terday. Had Messrs. Williams, Dougherty
and Sale succeeded in buying the Episcopal
property they would have built . splendid
brick businnss house there, and they will
no doubut build one on Kimmerle's place.
These gentlemen have the money and are
quick to comprehend the situation. They
see money in Wichita property and are not
backward in lacking hold.
There is no better location for q fine op.
era house or q Arst-class hotel,
than thstwhich Mr.. Blackwelder
has just bought. 1t il 125xl40, and conse-
sequently large enough for such buildings.
This property was bought BY the Episcopal
congregation two years and half ago for
81 200; now it brings $4,000.
Another big sale in that neighborhood,
that I heard of after writing the above, and
which raises the amount invested in property
on that street to S51, 500, was made viz: The
opera house property, which was held by an
association Of gentlemen who took It from
the original incorporation, and which they
sold yesterday to Mark Oliver and Hiram
Imboden for S25.0o0 cash.
Mr.. .Kimmerle got his lot for building on
it. and now sells it for $11,500. This is the
way fortunes are made in Wichita real es-
tate; and fortunes yet await the plucky spec
ulstor. Influences which make great cities
are eliminating in favor Of the vigorous
young giant at tie confluence of the Big
and Little Arkansas rivers, to an
extent that double discounts all rivals in
the state. For years this city has been an
astonisher to all beholders and every one
admitted that it was a live city, but not

FORMULA.

Take thirty bushels well-rotted
stable manure or we'll rOtted organic
matter, as leaves, muck, ETC., and
scatter it about three inches thick
upon a piece of ground so situated
that water will not stand on it, but
shed off in every direction. The
thirty bushels will weigh about 900
pounds; take 200 pounds of good
acid phosphate, which cost me
S22.5O per ton, delivered. making
the 200 pounds cost me 1926, and
100 pounds kainit, which cost me
by the ton $14, delivered, or 20
cents for 100 pounds, and mix the
acid phosphate and kainit thor
oughly, then scatter evenly on the
manure. Take, next, thirty bushels
green cotton. seed and distribute
evenly over the pile, and wet them
thoroughly; they will weigh 900
pounds; take again 200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 1O0pounds kainit
mix and spread over the seed,
begin on the manure and keep on
in this way, building up your heap
layer by layer until you get it as
high as convenient, then with
six inches of rich earth from fence
corners, and leave at least six weeks.
When ready to haul to the field cut
with spade Or pickaxe square down
and mix as thoroughly as possible.
Now, we have thirty bushels of
manure, weighing 900 pounds and
800 pounds chemicals in the first
layer, and thirty bushels Of cotton
seed, weighing 900 pounds, and 300
pounds Of chemicals in the second
layer, and these two layers combined
for the perfect compost. You per-
ceive that the weight is 2,4OO pounds;
value at cost is,
80 bushels cotton seed, II! cents. 1915
400 pounds acid phosphate.
POO pounds kainit. 40
Stable manure nominal -
Or, for 2,4O0 pounds a total value Of
$3.50. This mixture makes practic-
ally a perfect manure for cotton and
a splendid application for corn.

ONE YEAR AGO.
ARTHUR CLEVELAND CONE.

What stars have faded from our sky,
What hope unfolded but to die!
What dreams, so fondly pondered DER,
Forever lost the hues they wore!
How like a death bell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul, zone year ago!'
Where is the face we loved to greet,
The form that graced the fireside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life-path day by day?
Where fed those accents soft and low,
That thrilled our hearts zone year ago?'
All! vacant is the fireside chair,
The smiles that won, no longer there;
Fromdoor and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo of that voice is gone;
And we who linger only know
How much we lost zone year ago!'
But why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have led;
To that far world rejoicing 60,
To which she passed "One year ago."

POLITICS..

. There probably never was a more
utterly vicious and dangerous idea
advanced than that good people
ought not to take part in politics.
During the last few months we have
met numbers of good men who have
said, "We don't take any part in
politics-it is too corrupt" Now if
this sort of men don't take part in
politics, the corruption which every
body admits attends them now will
eventually continue and get worse.
And we may as we'll understand that
when the politics of the country are
corrupt the society of. that country
will be corrupt also. Good public
morals and bad public management
cannot exist at the same time. If
we would have good morals in soci-
ETY., good men must take an active
part in politics." The foregoing,
from the Farm Economist, cannot be
too strongly impressed upon the
people. The "dirty pool of politics"
will constantly become more and
more filthy SC long as clean men
hold aloof from it, and the final out
come will be that it will deluge the
nation with such another flood of
pollution as that under which Rome
went down.-Fdrm and Ffreside.

A Noble Woman Halter.


Lord Strathnairn was 4 con firmei bach
elor. AMI when he forgot the power of
beauty he became a misogynist. Spirits
feminine were only suffered to come near
him when he was at home. He Travelled
about with butler, valet, groom coach
man, who were on board wages and who
all had, save the personal atten liant, to find
their own lodgings. Once upon a time, and
not a very long time ago, he fell ill in the
course of q summer tour somewhere in a
mountainous place. There was no doctor at
hand, but an American doctrsss was stay
ing at the hotel, ami was called in by the
landlady to see what was the matter with
her eminent guest h had been in a state
Of semi-insensibility.
On opening his eyes and perceiving two
women bending over him, one OF whom
was young AMI well-favore1, he bounced
out OF bed and told them to begone. He
was a proper man and did not want any
such creatures about him In their aston
ishment the ladies neglected to obey his per
emptory order, on seeing which he took the
doctress by the shoulders and pushed her at
q running pace out of the room
In his last Illness be vas brought to his
senses by the pre'encs of a nurse who had
been called in to see that the doctors pre-
scriptions were regularly followed. His
mind had been a lit lie shaken by recent
apopiectic ft, AMI he imagined, because an
attendant wearing female habilimsnts was
near him, that the hotel, or rather aubsrg.
where he was staying at Versailles to loos
after a lawsuit. was an establishment Of
another kind. Hi, rage and distress were
boundiess until he was by friends and serv-
ants brought to understand that the poor
woman, whose presence SO agitate1 him,
was merely a sick nurse. However, no
argument could BRING him to let her re-
main. Or. she had to bundle, then AMI

Where Do the Patterns Come From.


Can any body guess in what undiscovered
country the persons who draw embroidery
patterns fin / the flowers which they por-
tray! With them, fern looks like a skele-
ton leaf; a daisy has pstals pointed at each
end; and golden rod grows in racemss. The
coiors which they mari, to be used in work
ing the patterns are, il anything, worse
than their drawing, and il their directions
were exactly followed, the resslt would be
nothing il no. wonderful
Fortunately, there are few women who
do rely upon them implicitly. but their
complacency when fault, are pointed out
to them is amazing. "Dear me, madam,
said one the other day when customer
venture1 to say that the newest growth
was usually at the end of stsm, and that
the colors used shouli indicate it Dear
me, We don't follow NatureI It is not
fashionable" II one be intent upon pro-
ducing artistic work, one must be content
to pay for an artistic pattern and not 60 to
