Minneapolis Tribune: Kansas, the
/ land Of corn and contentment, is prolific
/ also In fair women and brave men. Your
Kansas girl is as plump as q partridge,
as coy as a quail; healthy, hearty, active,
Independent and happy as the big sun

/ proud And there is a spot in Kansas
| where female loneliness seems to have
| been crystalized and concentrated, as 1t
we're. The elysium is very appropriately
named Cherryvalel-Vale OF CherEissl

| to pronounce the luscious word, aud he
thinks Of ruby treasures hslf-hidden in
bright foliage delicious, but hard to get.

are just as pretty and sweet and plump
as the fruit Of whose praise We sing, or,
IN the language Of the newspaper printed
In that UtOpian village, Neither hustle
nor cOrset is worn in CherryVale."

not being successful, was heard to offer
a prayer the other night In the supposed
secrecy Of her closet which ran on this
wise; 80 Lord, please send me a nus
band, and if at first you don't succeed,
/ try, try again" This is, perhaps, not
true, but We give it for what it is worth,
IN the hope that it may spur up some
young man to do his duty.
