but does not care TO have anything said
about it. Electric street cars run clear
away out to the slaughter house and on
into the forest primeval, so that sports
men frequently 80 by street car into the
haunts Of the pheasant and the bear. 1t
is not uncommon to see an eastern capi-
talist returning at night, after good
days sport, with a dozen grouse and two
good sized building lots.
Kansas is said to be the most remark
able grain growing state. Her soil is
rich and black, her people full of hope
and good victuals. Corn is low at the
present time, but there is enough for
food and fuel for the winter, the crop
being unusually large. The man who
said that by the light of his burning corn
the Kansas farmer was enabled TO read
the mortgage on his farm was pessi-
mist with a tendency toward uxoricide.
Out Of the labor and anguish OF war,
drouth and pestilence in KANSAS was
born a beautiful state. and within her
borders dwell proud, prosperous and
