Prof. Hays Western Trip.
Junction City Union. recent date.

Junction City Union, recent date.
Prof. Hay returned on Wednesday from
a ten days trip through the counties of
Trego, Cove and Thomas, with runs over
the borders of Graham, and Logan. He
reports the grain prospects very good, the
wheat looking excellent and oats showing
up well. The ground is in fine condition
and the promise of everything was bright
ening still more by showers that, begin
ming on last Monday, were, on Wednesday
morning. settling down with general rains.
The activity manifested in settling the
country was the feature most noted by Mr..
Hay, who had not seen the region for
several years. Then the settlements were
rare and confined to the larger valleys:
now the entire country is settled up,
except some railroad land held by specu-
lators. In Thomas county, which has but
little railroad land, there is not a govern
ment quarter to be obtained, and the
same is true of the others. Wa-Keeney is
thriving county seat now erecting
thirty-five thousand dollar court house,
mostly of stone recently discovered in the
Smoky, which, from the sound OF the
hammer upon it, is called bedrock.
Colby, in Thomas county, is all alive, and
two railroads are grading into it now, one
being the Rock Island from Norton and
the other the Saline Valley road through
Lincoln Centre. The whole northwest
seems likely to come up smiling.

REST A NECESSITY.
Why the American People Should
Turn Back to More Quiet Ways.

How few people there are who know
what rest is in its best sense! Sunday,
the day of rest, comes and goes and is
but part of life's ftful fever, quickly
past. There may have been cessation
from physical toll, but in thought the
man or woman has often taken no
respite. If we can get away from every
day thought, even for one day in the
week, we would be better and stronger
to do the work of the rest of the week,
and yet in spite of professions of re-
igion, in spite of Sunday sermons and
prayers, the man too often lives on this
day of rest as on other days. In too
many parts of the country Sunday
means extra dinner and extra toll to the
housekeeper. We have learned as a
nation to work hard and energetical,y,
but we have not yet learned to rest and
how to save ourselves extra work. We
must 60 to older nations to learn this.
There is something wonderfully attractive
in some of the descriptions of Oriental
cities in which civilization seems to move
along with perfect quiet without any of
the clangor and shouting card continually
in Western cities. There Is nothing that
so deadens the better nature in man as the
continual noisy, nervous strife in all kinds
of trade and business. No time is left for
any thing but money getting. Like an
infectious disease, it seems to extend to
all order of society. We must turn back
to simpler ways, to more quiet, restful
ways. All work will be better if done by
steadier hands.
There is nothing more injurious to chill
dren who are growing than to be hurried.
Let them develop slowly and steadily
and they will be stronger in nerve and
mind. The most enduring trees are those
of slow growth. It is better to keep a
child back in school rather than push
him forward. Nervous diseases of the
most obstinate and subtle type which affect
the whole life of the individual are some
times brought Oh by the injudicious fore
ing of the child. If the child seems given
oday dreams let him be. His day-dreams
may be only the means by which he will
gain higher life which no man or woman
can gain until he has become conscious
"of certain stiffness that pervades the
universe like law, ever being broken by
the cries of eager men, yet ever closing
and returning with gentleness not to be
repealed, seeking to unfold and penetrate
with its own healing the minds of the
noisy children on earth"

The many cases OF rheumatism cured
by Chamberlain Pain Balm during the
past few months, have given the people
great confidence in its curative proper
ties, and have shown that there Is one

80 Miles Disappear.

Thirty miles of country is big thing
to disappear, but this distance has been
dropped ont between Kansas City and
Chicago. How it happened is thus figured
out: The Chicago, Santa Fe & California
Railway is completed between Kansas
City and Chicago, and the distance be-
tween the two cities is only 458 miles
measuring from Union Depot, Kansas
City, to Dearborn Station, Chicago. This
is exactly thirty miles less than by any OF
the old lines. SO You have to travel thirty
miles less, your freight has to be hauled
thirty miles less, and practically the Santa
Fe has made thirty miles disappear. A
few years at this rate and Kansas viii be

THE KITTEN OF THE REGIMENT

James Buckham, in Harpers Young People
This Kitten sir, of the Coloncs I'll tell the story.
We were at Roanoke month ago,
waiting the fleet, and camped the hillside white.
Ono night, when scnnels were all at post,
We lay around the fires and talked OF home
The smoke wreathed up into the still blue SKY,
The wind was whist and all the stars shone clear
Just such night as sleeps above the hllls
OF old New England when the frosts are boar
Talking not aloud, but soft, as soldiers talk;
After some months o. the rolling drum and slght
OF blood. The sentnels sudden challenge came:
'''''' Ne all leaped up and harked
Only Doll Brewster, sir Pve brought my kitty
What a chld's voice'-a child at Dayonets pointf

Flushing with downcast eyes, and pretty lip
Half curled TO cry, hair loose and all Ike gold,

Well. SIR. the regiment came on the run;
And such o wall OF cm, all Of cm looking down

Then sir the Colonel came, with his sword aclapklhg

And every man Of us would have done the same,
And mighty glad Of the chance
There wasn't eye

And II lt hadn't been for the Colonel there
A hundred Of would have kissed the child.
That's all the story OF the Kitten sir
