A Grand Growth.
Leaycuworih Times

Ten years ago Kansas had less than
million people within her border;
to-day the census shows she has 1885,
900, a gain of 6Sl, 1000 in Ten years.
This is The greatest gain in any state
west of the Mississippi river.
Minnesota, with an area OF S22,00O
more acres than Kansas. and with the
two splendid cities of 81. Paul and
Minneapolis bending every effort TO
attract population and other cities
growing like mushrooms, shows u
gain of hut G3I,000.
Missouri, "the Pennsylvania of The
west" with millions Of acres at as
fine land ms the sun ever sh0ne upon,
with mountains Of minerals; with
ST. Louis at one end and Kansas
City and St. Joseph at the other TO
head off the emigrant, poor old Mis-
souri, shows a gain of but 100000.
Texas, a magnificent empire in ex'
tent. a state more than three times as
large as Kansas, a state with every adj
vantage of soil and climate and miner
al productions, state that, 1t has
been claimed by the walters within
our borders, has been absorbing our
population, this vast territory has
gained but $4,000.
And Nebraska that lies right along
side of us, that has been held up as an
example TO us, that started the de-
cade with millions Of acres more OF
cheap lands than we had, Nebraska
has gained 131, 900 less than Kansas,
Kansas leads them all. 1t has been
a decade of grand growth for our
great free country. FROM the Allan
tic coast clear through to the Pacific.
there has been progress upward and
onward. But nowhere on the CONT
nent has there been more rapid i'm
provcment than on the plains of glo-
rious Kansas.
Other states have gained more in
population, but in no other state has
the change in population produced
such improvements as here. New
York gained nearlya million people,
but the man who knew New York ten
wears ago would notice few changes,
should he go back there to day. But
how great have been the changes In
Kansas in that time! Population has
rolled ont over the state almost as
the grasshoppers did during some OF
the years of the previous decade; a
network of railroads has been built
extending into every portion of the
state; where was the unbroken prai-
rie are now cultivated farms, and
where were only the towns of prairie
dogs have grown up flourishing cities
with their beautiful homes, their
churches. their schools, and, in many
cases, their manufactures.
They tell us that thousands have
left the state OH account of the pro-
hibitory law. Shall we mourn for
those who have gone because of their
love for the saloon when we have a
gain of 6S4,000 of the soberest, the
most industrious, the most enterpris-
ing people on earth?
And especially shall we mourn
when we look abroad and see that we
have gained much more than the
states that gained our saloon popula-
ton?
Let us rejoice and keep our faces to
the front.

A Born COurtier.

During a stay of Emperor William l.,
of Germany, at the fashionable watering
place at Ems that monarch paid a visit
to large orphan asylum and school that
was under Government patronage. The
presence of so distinguished parsonage
created quite sensation in the establish
ment. After listening with much inter
est to the recitations of several Of the
classes, His Majesty called to him a
bright, faxen-h haired little girl of five or
six years of age, and, lifting her into his
lap, said:
"Now, my little fraulein, let me see
how well you have been taught. To
what kingdom does this belong2" And
taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,
and, looking timidly up into the Empe-
ror's face, replied:
''To the vegetable kingdom"
Every good, my little fraulein; and
now to what kingdom does this belong2"
Aud he drew out of his pocket gold
piece and placed ir on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon repHed:
"To the mineral kingdom"
"Better and BETTER" said the Empe-
ror. "Now look at me and say to me to
what kingdom belong"
At this question there was an ominous
silence among the teachers and visitors
who were listening with much interest
to the royal catechism. Could she make
any other reply that "to the animal
kingdom9" The little girl hcsitated
long, as if perplexed as to what answer
she would give. Was the Emperor an
animal2 Her eyes sought those of her
teacher and her schoolmates. Then she
looked up into the eyes of the aged En-
peror, and, with half-startled, fright
ened look, as if she were evading the
question, replied:
"To the kingdom of heaven"

blow sent him spawning; his comrades
were aroused.
"why mott" they began to whisper.
s"I1hey will kill me yet" moaned
Ralph '.Effie will go crazy If she hears
the story"
Revengei Why, it was offered to
Dick in overlooking measure. And he
put his strong, stout body between the
miserable Ralph and those Others and
cried out:
MATES, we won't starve yet; I've kept
something to the last I've got a flask
of whisky and six biscuits IN my pocket.
kept them for the last moment, share
and share alike"
The eager eyes turned on him-they
allowed Dick to portion out the food. 1t
was very little, but it meant that they
| would not starve that day. And each
time they drank from the flash, Dick for
bade himself half his own portion and
gave larger allowance to Ralph; so
with the biscuit also.
Alasl when these were gone there was
nothing more.
Again fends' eyes giared at Ralph. AT
last two cast back from their attack on
him BY Dick, clutched each other, and
in mad struggle went overheard. An
other, quite insane, fancied he saw feast
spread near him, sprang toward it, and
was gone.
Others slept and awakened 40 more.
And now Dick and Ralph were alone in
the boat.
81 shall never see Efie again. said
Raj phi. "Dick, good friend, if in my
life I've ever done any harm that made
any one want revenge on me, they have
it when think that. Oh! for just a
look at her or word from her."
Dick bent over him and looked in his
face.
"Did you ever feel as If any one
wanted revenge on you?" he asked.
81 amt aware Of any cause for it, "
said Ralph. "But I've been as unlucky
as if l was cursed since the day married
Fife"
':Lord bless you, Ralph" said Dick.
'tAnd if there is curse may it be
lifted"
And as he spoke he raised his eyes and
saw, where the water and the heavens
met, sail.
cpd never have seen you again, Effie,
but for this good friend" Ralph said.
''He saved my life more than once"
Effie had come to him in the hospital,
where he was getting well, and found
Dick at his side.
"God bless him." said Effie. "Ithink
he's one of those that would do good to
folk that harmed him, and knew it was
the best revenge he could have"
"Hc's good enough for that" Ralph
said, then Effie held out her hand to
Dick.
"God bless you," she said. 'My
children will pray for you every night
for saving their father. And may you
find a good, sweet wife, for you will
make her happy woman"
She sighed, but there was a peaceful
look upon Dicks face as he said Good
bye," and left them forever. But Effie's
hope was fulfilled, and happy love came
to him before many days.-Family Story
