Kansa as Timber.

There was time when Kansas was
a treeless plain. That was about
three decades ago. 1t is no longer
that. Kansas now has over 100, 900
acres of thrifty timber, with about
SO, 900 acres of recent planting, which
in ten or fifteen years, will make good
timber. This fact demonstrates that
with proper care and cultivation tim
Der of all kinds will grow in Kansas
as well as in the states east of US.
All that is needed is to plant the
trees-seed and cuttings, watch and
project them, and in comparatively
brief period they will have grown to a
respectable size. There are many
Kansas farmers who now supply
themselves with saw-lOgs. fence posts
and fire. wood from trees planted by
them selves only fifteen years ago.
These patches of timber answer sew
eral purposes-wind-breaks, for dwell
lings and farms, shelter for stock. in
addition to supplying fuel, fencing,
and, in not a few instances, very fair
siding. It would be well for Kansas
farmers who have hitherto neglected
tree planting to sci out this season not
only different varieties of fruit, but
other ornamental and useful trees.
In few years the orchard and grove
will pay them very handsome divi-I
dend upon their investment of money
and work.-Westphalia (Kan. Times.

A young man named Charley Dur
fee, of near Scott City, came t. this
city on Monday to meet lady whom
he had never seen and to make her his
wife. He advertised for wife some
two months ago, and soon got in cor
respondence with Miss Ella Halsey,
at Creston, Iowa, and an engage
ment was soon entered into, the lady
agreeing to come to Garden City to
meet him, which she did on Monday.
They met, were satisfied with each
other, and left for Scott City to
marry.-Garden City Democrat
A few days ago the north wind
blew Walter Gill, a Kansas City
pressman, from a "blind" on the
Santa Fe. He wandered into the
GRAPHIC Office and found some old
acquaintance. When asked how he
liked western Kansas, he said: "Too
dry for this lad. Gewhillikins," he
continued, "out at Dodge City they
round up the buns, run them into
corral and feed them on shin soup,
cooked over fire of buffalo chips"
Walter yearned for the old haunts of
"hell's half acre" and the east levee,
and took his departure for the east
yesterday.
A trip to Dodge City last Friday,
and a half day and evening spent in
that famed city disclosed the fact,
that. like most Kansas towns, it is
now experiencing steady and healthy
growth. The merchants claim that
through the winter money was scarce,
but that now the prospects of good
crop season has put everybody in
good humor, and the wheels of cem-
merce are running smoothly. Some
building is now going on, notably a
large and handsome city hall and
court house. The town has almost
the "wild west" element,
though there are still remnants of the
times to be found in the by
ways.

SAVE THE BOYS.


Published by request of the W. C. l. VI
A hard drinker is reported as having
said. ~ can't reform, bat for Gods sake
save the boys
Like Dives in the deeps Of hell,
| can not break this fearful spell,
Nor quench the fires I've madly nursed,
Nor cool this dreadful raging thirst.
Take back your pledge, ye came too late
Ye can not save me from my fate,
Nor bring me back departed joys.
But We eau try 10 save the bows.
Ye bid me break my fiery chain
Aside, and be man again,
When every street with snares Is spread
And nets Of sin whereer | sped.
Nol must reap as / did SOW
The seeds Of sin bring crops Of woe;
But with my latest breath III crave
That We will try the boys TO save
These blood-shot eyes were once so bright
This sin.crushed heart so glad and light +;
But by the wine-cup's ruddy glow
l traced a path TO shame aud woe.
A captive 70 my CALLING chain,
I've tried TO rise, but tried in vain;
The cup allures and then destroys
Oh. from its thralldom save the boys
Take from your streets these traps of hell,
Tpto whose pilded snares fell.
O freemen, from these foul decoys
Arise and vote 10 save the boys.
Oh. We who license men to trade
In draughts that charm and then degrade,
Before We hear the cry, "ToO late"
Oh, save the boys from my sad fate.

The Terror Of Riches.

Statistics of suicide show that,
after all, the poor man rarely com
mits suicide owing to poverty.
Hundreds OF good fellows, with
rarely $50 ahead, aud FIVE or six
in the family to clothe aud feed, go
on with more equaOimity than men
with good bank margins. They
are generally looking for a job, and
frequently have no work ahead for
longer than one 10 six months. Tens
of thousands of day labOrers in the
United States rarely know what
their income is to be three months
aheaJ, yet they are neither dspress.
ed nor miserable. They readily
spend their last dollar; eat liberal
IL, as long as food can be had, and
economize when they must. The
terror of poverty is not so overpow-
eriug as the terror of riches. The
fear of losing is greater than the
fear Of not getting. Globe Democrat.

LYuung Woman Found Dead In a Marsh.

CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 17.-The
body of woman, apparently about
80 years of age and well dressed 4,
was found in the marsh at the foot
of South Fourth street, near the
Gloucester and Mount Ephraim
Railroad, about two o'clock this
afternoon. On her person was a
gold watch and chain and two gold
rings, and in her pocket-bOok was
$i75, ticket for Chiselhurst, N
j., and a receipt signed Helen
Davens. When found her head
wss Just above the water.
It was at nrst believed that the
woman had been the victim OF
violence, but a cursory examlna'
tion of the body did not disclose a
single mark Of violence. 1t is
presumed that she became be~Ii'
dered and walked out Fourth
street, believing that she was on
another thoroughfare, when she
stumbled into the marsh.

They Drove a Farmer 10 Suicide.

Charles Fogle, a farmer who
lived near Mt. AIRY, Carroll conn.,
ty, Md, committed suicide by
shoe ting himself in the head. The
caus,, assigned for the suicide is
that he has been imposed on by the
agents of one Of the speculative
grain companies, which have been
doing business among the farmers
of that section for some years past.
II is saId that he purchased OF
one OF these companies twenty
five bushels of wheat at ten dollars
per bushe1, and gave his note for
$3.50, the company executing a
bond to him, promising to sell for
him upon the gathering of his crop,
fi0v bushels at the price. This
they failed to do. Some time ago
two agents Of another company
agreed to take the bond If he
would execute his note to them
fer slGO. This he did, and he sup
posed that the taking up the bond
and his giving the new note meant
a cancellation Of the former note for
$3.50. A few weeks ago he learned
that both notes we're in a brokers'
hands and this fact caused him 10
be greatly depressed, and Thurs
day he killed himself as stated.

HOW TO GET MARRIED.

There is a moral ia the tale of
Mrs. Guion to cheer the female
heart. She is the woman who, be-
cause ske appeared in court to sue
Wellman, q matrimonial agent, for
not having procured her a hus-
band, Immediately received offers
of marriage By the dozen from
every section of the country.
1t seems before she became so
prominent that no one wanted to
marry Mrs. GuIon. She lacked
suitors to that degree that she hired
q matrimonial agent to get her a
husband. Yet she was very hand
some and widow, a member OF
society generally admitted to pos
sess better chances for marriage
than single women. But as soon
as she came into court, and became
the cynosure of the public eye and
the mark of notoriety, offers poured
in with every post.
Apparently all that is needed for
q woman to have sultors in plenty
is public prominence.
How many lovely girls must go
unmarried, then, because fortune
has not brought them to the notice
