The safety and strength OF our nation
must ever rest in the homes of its
people.
In the log cabins Of early days our
fathers lived. Simple homes they were,
but from within their mud chiRked walls
there sprang a hardy race of men, full Of
love for home and liberty.
Strong in body and mind, they laid the
foundation Of Americas greatness. Well
was their work performed, for upon that
solid rock has grown, as years have
passed, the imposing structure OF cher
ished independence.
Stately and grand, it is worthy of its
designers.
Though the heroes of that time have
long since passed away they have left US
rich by inheritance.
Whilst our fathers were planning Amer
ica's future destiny, our sweet mothers
were not idle, for in their ever mindful
care for the welfare Of their loved ones,
they discovered some of the best RENE
dial agents known for the relief Of the
sick.
Good old. fashioned home-cures, pre-.
pared from roots and h%erbs-they have
ever been standards OF excellency.
Though lost for a time has been the
preparation Of these old-time home
cures they are again revived, and are
known to the public as Warmers Log
Cabin Remedies; chief among them being
Warmers Log Cabin Ssrsaparilla, the
best Of the old.time blood purifiers.
In those times every family was its
own doctor, and the heroes and heroines
Of early days were wonderfully health
full and long-lived.
America owesi its freedom to the rugged
bodies and healthy minds of our fathers,
and 30 long as the spirit of freedom they
inslilled prevails, and u true appreciation
of our grand institutions remains, there
is no danger of the downfall OF the Re-
public,

Their Lack or Courtesy and Alb
seuCe OF kC uuette.

senCe Of TT quette.
The duke Of Wellington used to tell a
story of Louis XVIII, king Of France,
says the New YORK Journal. The duke
was taking a family dinner with the old
king and the princesses Of his court. the
duchess Of Angouleme and the duches Of
Berri. Upon the table, at dessert. was
placed a dish of early strawberries. The
king deliberately poured them all out
into his own plate, covered them with
cream and sugar and ate them. without
offering any TO the ladies or apologizing
for not doing so.
Lord Mahon, the historian, on hearing
the duke relate this snecdote, capped il
with another. William ILL.,, king of
England, dining one day with his wife.
Queen Mary. and Princess Anne, after
ward Queen Anne, ate the contents of q
dish OF early peas without a word of
apology to the tive ladies. The Duke of
Wellington laughed and said: AYE, |
hope it Is not q royal custom His
guests must have known what he meant
by this remark. He had recently gone
through many troublesome and Tome dis
gushing experiences with that vulgar and
~disreputable king, George w., Of whom
the duke afterwsrd said that 'he really
could act like a gentleman-fo fifteen
minutes
There are no "nobles' more proud Of
their ancient lineage and fine breeding
than those of Spain. Wellington. who
lived among them several years, said that
they formed a little coterie about the
court Of Madrid, never lived upon their
estates, had no public life. and valued
nothing but petty distinctions of the
court circle. He describes them rs very
good natured people, Of crude and print

BUTLER COUNTY APPLES.

There seems to be quite an interest in
the northwest quarter of Butler county in
fruit growing and, we believe, there meets
quite regularly genealogical society at
Benton. which is not only well attended
but where intelligence is evinced on the
subject of Kansas fruits. Hon. F. z.
Thompson, who has been telling US of
these things, was over there the other day,
and be brought US basket of very perfect
and very finely developed apples from the
farm of W. H. Ltzen. The basket con-
tanned several varieties, among them the
Rome Beauty, the Ben Davis and Rawles'
Janet, all fine and perfect, with no specks
or imperfections worth noting. This re
minds Us that there ought 10 be pomo-
logical society il this city or in this
county, made up of experienced fruit
growers. The nurserymen Of the country
are largely swindling our farmers and but
little is known OF the best fruits, best con-
ditions and best culture for the various
fruits that could be brought to perfection
in Kansas

BACK FROM MONTANA.

Hon. J. h. Mead is home from his Mon
tana mines, situated near Helena, where
he has spent the entire summer. He SAYS
the drouth of all that vast northern region
including Montana and the Dakotas has
been very severe, in some sections devas-
tating. 1t has been growing worse and
worse for four or five years eliminating
this season, drying up rivers and lowering
lakes in a remarkable way. The Big
Coulee river, which drains three thousand
square miles, is but a band of dry, glisten-
ing sand, and the bed of the Missouri is
being washed for gold. Many small lakes
have disappeared, and Devils lake has fell
six feet so that steamboats, cannot get
within two miles of old landings The
pastures have failed and thousands upon
thousands of cattle which could barely
live through the summer must die this
winter. The wheat interests of the Da-
kotas are languishiug. Placer mining,
which Mr.. Mead is engaged in, has been
almost impossible from the lack of water
Mr.. Mead looks exceedingly we'll and
bright, ana is home for the winter.
