Back of G. S. Emerson's store was an ice house
built six years ago, which was burned down q few
weeks ago. The ice house was built on good
foundation, and air and light was excluded from
under the building. Since the building was
burned down, weeds have sprung up and are grow
ing finely. The seeds Of the weeds have been
preserved for six years under the building, and
with sunlight spring forth to the world. Water
dripping from the melting ice must have preserved
the reed. kansas has productive soil.
There never was better time to pillow fire
guards. Let every farmer who wants to protect
his property improve this opportunity. The
ground is now wet and easily stirred and broad,
safe guards may be plowed without difficulty and

fine morning and find all his earthly possessions
including wife and babies and hired girl trans
formed into ashes and charcoal, he had better
pillow fire guards and plOw them right now.-Ex.

nothing to FAY against Col. Moonlight, the candi-
but she gave Governor Martin particular fits sim
ply, as she said, ''because he didn't like us
men," We don't blame Governor Martin for dis
liking the wcmen who go ont OF thesr sphere In
life to champion the cause u any political party,
make public speeches and lobby in the legislature.
There is something truly beautiful and sublime In
a woman who stays at home. minds her own bust
ness. darns the family stockings and otherwise
comforts the household. She is then following
the mission for which she WAS made. A woman,
who lie endeavoring to occupy the field for which
man WAS intended, Is angry at God for making
her n woman instead of a man.-Ciuarron New

We are really sorry for the young man of the
New Wet. We like to look at moral and political
questions from woman's stand point. Women

The politics Of this country needs the refining cul
