1t is matter of constant surprise to
people coming to Western Kansas from
the East to find that this country has
raised very fair crop. They tell us that
the impression prevails in many eastern
localities that we are burned out and
starved out, and that people are leaving
here by thousands When they come
out and see our prosperous cities. where
trade is active and building is going rap
idly forward. when they drive through
the country and see the comfortable farm
houses. the abundant stacks of grain. the
herds of cattle and the fields of ripened
corn-all betokening thrift and prosper
ty, they are in state Of wondering sur
prise. Why they were ever possessed
with such an idea is mystery unless
they were led to believe some of the w.
ing reports concerning this country that
found their way into eastern papers and
were never orrected.-Oberlin Eye.

Misuse of SsOnly.1

1t is probable that more errors are
made in the use of the word "only"
than in using any other word in the
English language. While its misuse is
not 50 glaring as many other grammat-
zeal errors, yet it greatly mars and re,
duces the accuracy of sentence. I'm
like the more glaring mistakes which
are confined chiefly to the speech
and writing of the unlearned, its mis-
use prevails to a singular extent in the
writing of the accomplished men and
women, and is observed frequently in
newspapers and even higher literature
This results from carelcssness more
than anything else, and probably from
the fact that the correct use of the
word is not 50 easily understood.
The proper place of "only" in a SEN
tencc is readily ascertained by accu-
ratcly determining the word to which
it has special reference. A few eX-
amples will, perhaps, more clearly cX-
plain its misuse. | have heard good
orators say, Il will only refer to this
branch OF the subject. A little
thought will make it evident that the
speaker did not mean to cOntine him
self to referring, but to the branch of
the subject; therefore he should have
said, 81 will refer only to this branch
OF the subject Had he meant it to
limit refer he would have emphasized
it in order to make himself understood.
10 say, Il only see an orange" might
mean that the speaker does not feel,
taste or smell an orange; but Il see
only an orange" means that he sees no
other fruit. 1t might be clearer, per-
haps, to say, Il see IN orange only" or
Il see an orange alone" but it is not
well to conclude sentence with the
adverb or elective, us the case may be-
1t is common to hear, 81 only saw him, ="
II only have four" "hc only went to
Phlladelphla, and countless similar
errors.
The word "too" is misued in precise
ly the same way. | have heard highly
educated persons make such mistakes
as 81 was there, too not meaning to
include with other places the place III
Dictated, but that the speaker WAS pres
ent with others at the place, so that it
would have been correct to say, al, too,
was there"
Also" being used INTERCHANGEABLE
with "too, is, of course, similarly mis-
used. In the sentence, "He will read
this, "also' can be inserted to convey
three meanings. He also will read
this" indicates that he besides others
will read this. He will also read this, ?"
indicates that he may have intended to
sing it, but now he will also read, and
"llc will read this also," means that he
will read it in addition to other pieces.
Additional examples need not be
given to explain the proper use of the
words. A little care and thoughtful
ness will soon correct the abuse.
Writers, especially, should be careful
with these words, for speakers can in
dic.te their meaning by emphasis.
Much ambiguity in writing is due to
this fault, and correction of it will add
to an authors power.-Neto York
Mirror.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
A Moral History.

Blower and Tower We're two little geese;
That is to say, they were dogs, as you see;
But though one'wa sthe aunt and the other Lcf
niece,
Somehow other they couldn't agreed
Couldn't agree for though each loved the other,
No matter what came up, from tidhits to rat 3,
IL one took up one side then one took another,
And there was fight like the Kilkenny cats,
Towzer and Blower! Twas stranger because
These doggies We're lovely in every way;
Were clean us new pins as TO faces and paws,
/, And brushed their brown coats twenty timed
in tho day
Played with the other dogs gaylv ori swcatly,
WaSged their small tail. when the mCighbuI s
came by,
Wop every heart in the village completely.
And never were known to tell one iittle lie.
But, If you gave one bite cf bone,
Nyt%hat rumpus the other would make
II Won should put one small body alone,
The other would whine till your POOR ears
wOuli nche;
Then when you turned away Tor minute,
They d snarl and fight, OF reason bCrcft,
And lose all the good that the mursel hGd in it
So Tower and Blower were both of them left
Wasn't right then in calling them geese?
If they We're loving, how well they could fare
Sharing their goodies they'd each have Il piece,
And, often and often, II little to spare.
Dear, did you over know two little brothers
Who Cnight have such perfectly elegant times,
But Who squabbc-sumctimes- and Just worry
their mother
Like the two little doggies sing in my rhymes

"No," he said, with an evil smile,

afresh. They plunged furiously. We're

so. Nor did Manvers appear anxious
to properly control them.
Some thoughts passed then like
lightning flashes through her brain
He would not comply with her demand.
| He would not even set her down here
in the park. He had dared to offer her
the deadliest insult. How much longer
must she breathe air polluted by his
presence? What had she done in all
her life to deserve this misery? Was
| it her fault that she had married Dexter
erred, and she, the daughter, must ex-
plate that mothers folly? Oh, bitter
eXpiation of another's error!
She would try once more. She would
speak to the wretch beside her.
"Set me down at once" she meant to
say. But something choked her; her
! tongue refused to do the bidding of her
| brain.

Then she leaped into the air blindly

Il little Manners drove back to the crowd

"She thought the horses were running
away" he explained, looking CHASTITY
| himself.
They had lifted her from the gravel
to the soft grass underneath tree.
She breathed feebly, and stirred as If
half conscious. Rachel was knaeling
at her side, sobbing pitifully, and Rach-
| els lover was also there.
Penelope eyes opened SLOWLY, tne
inky lashes quivered above dimming
gaze.
Her lips moved, and Rachel caught
her lovers name.
She is speaking to you," the young
girl sobbed, and made room for him.

Promise! You love Rachcl?"
Yes, yes" he cried.
"Promise-to care for her"
