HE WAS BEATEN.

Where WOm0n's Will Came In lOn-
tact with Mans Determination.
A theatrical man tells the following
story. He did not attempt to vouch for
its truth, so the writer does not, merely
giving it here for what it is worth as an
illustration of wOman's will. The man
who told the story also disclosed the
names of those about whom it is related,
but owing to the doubt about the abso-
lutte veracity of the tale it would not be
fair to mention the names. Suffice it to
say that one was an actor and the other
an actress, and both very well known to
the public. So call the actor Y, be-
cause that is about as far as one can get
from his name, and the actress Miss
A., because her name is nothing like
that either.
Miss A, besides being perhaps the
most prominent character in the play,
was also the stage manager, and it was
she who regulated Mr.. Us salary.
Now Y had long contended that
bis salary was not one-half what it should
be, and Miss A. declared as firmly
that this was neither here nor there, for
the salary would remain unchanged.
This condition of affairs did not make
the two love each other as good Chris
tians are expected to do. Such scenes
rs these (behind the wings of course)
became frequent:
when are you going to raise my sal
ary?''
ssNever."
''All right, then. leave you to-mor-
row.
Very well, why don't you?''
Or the war might be varied to this
form:
''Are you going to raise my salary this
week?''
ssNo.'
ssNext week.
'sNo.'
'.When?''
Never
That determined ''never" was a dis
agreeable check to argument. Finally
Y worked out sub-plot in the play.
In one act he, the noble hero. carried
Miss A. from a top story to the ground
down a ladder. One night when this
scene came on he stepped upon the first
round of the ladder as usual holding in
his arms his fair burden. But instead
of coming down quickly as usual. as
vigorous. invincible hero should, he
stopped.
Snow he whispered in her ear. ''raise
my salary"
:sNever."
.'Raise my salary or drop you."

AT meeting of the Colorado Horti-
cultural Society held at Pueblo last week
the principal subject for discussion was
fruit-growing in the Arkansas valley.
Many farmers gave their experience in
this direction and the results were very
flattering. The GLOBE has many times
asserted that the Arkansas valley was
peculiarly suited to the growing of fruit,
and in every instance where farmers
have devoted themselves to fruit culture
it has been clearly demonstrated that
fruit can be successfully grown here.
With Ford county's irrigating bitches
the valley on either side of the river can
soon be made one solid orchard and
truck patch, and the whole country will
be forced to acknowledge the productiv-
ity of southwest Kansas. We have the
soil, the climate, the water, to raise all
kinds of vegetables and fruits; all that is
necessary is the people to do it. What
is true of the Arkansas valley east and
west of us, is also true of the Arkansas
valley in Ford county, and the following
extract from the Re,1ezv and Farmer, pub
lished at Pueblo, applies with equal force
to this immediate section:
lien years ago it was first discovered
that apples would grow in Colorado,
Jesse Frazier's orchard having Just COM
menced to bear. 1t was not known how
ever whether fruit would grow in other
places or not. The western slope was In
possession of the Indians. To-day fruit
Is being planted in all portions of the
state, and the people are awakening to
the fact that this is destined to be great
fruit producing section. In ten wears
from now Colorado will be as widely
known as fruit country as it was one
time as cattle country. DR.. Shaw saws
the Arkansas valley with It's $50. 600
acres of arabic land will support a popu-
lation Of one inhabitant to each acre il
properly devoted to fruit culture. What
is true of the Arkansas valley is true of
all the irrigating sections of the state.
Every county should have horticultural
society. Organize, systematic and take
hold of the work intelligently.''

FAREWELL, OLD YEAR.

To-day we bid farewell to the old year
and hail with delight the coming of the
new. Each recurring New Year brings
with it pleasant anticipations. On this
day, one year ago. we all made good
resolutions; just how well they have been
kept every one can answer for himself
by a retrospective view of the past.
Whether they have been kept well or in
different, none will care to 60 back and
live life over, but rather live in anticipa-
ton of what the future may have in store.
Viewing the question from the stand
point of western editors sanctum, we
find little pleasure in the past, but many
things to hope for in the future. While
the old year has not been a bowling
financial success with us, yet we content
ourselves for being the possessor of
rich store of experience, even though it
was obtained at the cost of the exchequer.
However, we do not complain. To-
morrow will be the New Year, the one
day on which we always feel glad, and at
the close of which we can lie down to
pleasant dreams in pregustation of what
the year 1891 will bring. In entering
upon our labors for another year we shall
make no big promises, because Provi-
dence despises them and invariably sends
them into next year; but we do bespeak
for the GLOBE-REPUBLICAN in the year
to come that earnest support at the hands
of our citizens which we trust the paper
merits.
To the old year, farewell! And to each
and every one of our patrons happy
New Year.

At . meeting Of the people Of Lane
county, held in the city Of Dighton, on
the 90th inst, for the purpose of consid-
er:ng the great question Of irrigation,
the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, Several years of honest ef-
fort has fully demonstrated the fact that
the annual rainfall in western Kansas is
insufficient to make farming either pleas
ant or remunerative; and
WHEREAS, Irrigation Is supposed by
many to be practicable, but owing to the
large area that would need irrigation,
and the consequent large expenditure of
money to attain satisfactory results, 1t
precludes the idea of local or individual
accomplishments, but makes it a matter
of national importance and for congress
sional action; and
WHEREAS, The people of northwest
Kansas have lately held very largely
attended and enthusiastic convention at
Oberlin for the purpose of getting this
great question properly before congress;
and
WHEREAS, Believing that in unity is
strength, and that it will require the
united action of the people of western
Kansas to get the necessary appropriation
through congress, therefore be it
Resolved, That an irrigation conven-
ton of the people of the counties OF
Rush, Ness, Lane, Scott, Wichita and
Greeley, be held at Dighton on January
18th, at one O'Clock p. M, for the pur-
pose of organization and to take such
steps as may be thought necessary to
forward this great movement.
Resolved, That we very respectfully
suggest that like meetings be held in each
judicial district throughout southwest
Kansas. and that petitions be forwarded
as soon as possible to our senators and
members of congress. And we would
further suggest that to be effective this
will have to be speedily done as this con.
gress ends on the 4th of March.

Topeka. KANS., Dec. Is. 1880.
The twentieth annual meeting Of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture con-
venes in Topeka on Wednesday. January
18th, at o'clock p. M, and will continue
in session three days.
This annual gathering of the farmers
of Kansas and of representatives of our
Agricultural College and of the State
University, is attracting more and more
attention each year.
The high order and practical charac-
ter of the papers read and discussed have
awakened an interest among farmers, and
taught them the importance of these
meetings. An increased attendance is
expected this year, with an increased
interest in the work done.
DIR. Paul Paquin, State Veterinarian of
Missouri. who ranks among the foremost
in his profession. will be present and ad-
dress the meeting on ''Black Leg" Hog
Cholera will also be discussed.
President Geo. +. Fairchild. Professors
c. G. Georgeson and j. D. Walters of the
Agricultural College, will be on the pro-
gram, and will be present throughout
the meeting to participate in the ex-
ercises.
Chancellor F. H. Snow, of the State
University. will give full report of the
results of his experiments for the exter-
mination of chinch-bugs. Prof. Robert
Hay. F. G. 5. A, and Judge j. w. Greg
DRY. Field Agent Artesian Wells Investi-
CATION, with others. will fully and thor
oughly discuss the question of irrigation
in western Kansas.
In addition to these, representative far
mers from different portions of the state
will appear on the program, and topics
of interest. covering the general field of
agriculture, will be thoroughly discussed.
Reduced, probably half, rates will be
secured over the railroads of Kansas.
Programs will be distributed two weeks
before the meeting.
In connection with the annual meet
ing of the Board, the Improved Stock
Breeders of Kansas are called to meet on
the same day. They will meet at 10
O'Clock a. m, the morning of the 18th.
The object of this meeting is to organ
ize Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
Association. A program will be issued.
1t Is hoped that this meeting will also
be well attended by those who are en-
gagged in breeding fine stock.
1 trust that all who can will avail them
selves of this opportunity to add to their
resources of knowledge and to receive a
fresh supply of enthusiasm and of ambi-
ton to excel which can come only through
the intermingling together of those en-
gagged in the same calling in life.

A few folks like old fashioned things,
old clothes, old houses and old books.
Others want modern articles. The lat

few old fogies who prefer slow trains,

which three negroes were hanged at the
