THE Waltz.

The waltz was 100 years old last week.
It was born in the ballet at the Vienna
opsra house, and Vincent Martin, Ger
man composer, was its father. The
waltz was very stiff then to what 1t is
now. The gentleman's left hand and the
lady's right were joined and held as
high in the air IS they would reach.
His right and her left were also
Joined, but the back Of her hand was
firmly planted on his hip. No such thing
az "reversing" was.known. The couples
turned or "waltzed" slowly in the one
direction until tired out. AS time wore
on the stiffness Of the waltz became
considerably lrelsxed, fer eighteenth
century mothers were more particu-
lar than they are now. For good
many years the waltz was rarely seen OF
the stage. Now no dance is really FASH
ionable without it. Indeed, "sQuare"
dances are becoming decidedly slow.
Nevertheless, there are people just old
fashioned enough to believe that the
waltz is an invention Of H!s Majesty OF
the Glover Foot, and is the cause OF in
finite harm, but such sentiments are not
nauulsr

FOR TIE UNITED STATES SEN


There is but very little new in politics.
The old, well seasoned methods Of secur-
ing an election are adhered to most te-
nsciouely. There are gentlemen anxious
to become United States Senator's, for in
stance, who advertise the fact and secure
for themselves recognition by valiantly
resisting the "ercroachments Of the fed
erel government upon the prerogstives Of
the states" Anything with U. S. marked
on it is viewed with suspicion and distrust.
If United States District Judge rem
ders decision he is imms diately bounced
upon and percolated with the condensed
I'VE of indignant rhetoric. The idea
seems to be that in order to secure an
election to the United States Senate, it is
necessary to take federal Judge by the
coat collar and tell him "thus fsr, and no
farther" II we had no candidates for
the United States Senate q centralized
government in Washington would be on
our necks in q twelvemonth.

Hansford is situated on one Of

Of cereals and vegetation.
Owing to it's latitude its winter seasons
are somewhat milder and shorter than in
Southwest Kansas, and for successful
stock farming country can not be excelled
on either a large or small scale. Here
tofore the country has been controlled by
csttlemen, whose interest it was to keep
out settlement and the provisions of the
Legislature gave them success until re-
Gently the Legislature saw fl to make
some charges that gave the settler some
advantage over cattle monopoly There
fore the large ranches have been broken
up and ferc es torn down, thereby opening
up Cne OF the finest agricultural end
stock countries under the sun. And
aleady thousands Of home seekers are
rushing in and aVailing themselves OF the
golden opportunity.
