Providence and tho Wheat Crop.

THE Hutchison NeIOs finds cause for
congratulation of Kansas farmers in
the report that the wheat crop Of 9TH
or states will be short. To be sure
the Ne,CS has the grace to deplore the
barbarous, hardheartednOss which
can thus rejoice over the misfortunes
OF others. The sad fact remains, that
men under pressure Of need cannot
help being glad Of whatever benefits
them even il the same circumstance
brings misfortune to others.
The evil which such conditions en-
tail ia not alone the puvation which
must be endured by the unlucky ones
Great as may be the tragedy follow
ing Encouragement over crop failures
it may mean loss Of home, insanity,
or suicide, still the greater evil is
wrought upon the one, who though
his crops may be abundant, still suf-
fers from the blight Of selfshness, the
warping and cramping and narrowing
Of what might otherwise be gener-
GUS and sympathetic nature.
The signs Of the times point to q
day when the business side Of agri-
culture will be so developed as to
place prices of farm products above
AuctuatioD. Then a season Of failure
in one place neednot lead to the evils
Of despair in one locality and heart
lessness in another.
With an adequate system Of ware
housing, such as the Sub-Treasury
bill proposes, grain can be stored
from a season of plenty to a season Of
shortage and nothing but thereal de-
mand of the consumer need call it
forth. Not until some such system
and order obtains, can any scientific
regulation Of production be carried
on. Never until then, can there be
any real or accurate knowledge Of the
economic law Of supply and demand.
Never until farm products are stored
away from the reach Of gamblers and
beyond market Auctuation will that
stable condition ensue which will
eliminate the danger Of want and the
disgrace of greed.

Ballot Reform.

THE excellent results which attend
the working Of the Australian ballot
system are gratifying to all who are
desirous of raising political methods
above that corruption which has re-
striCted the liberty Of the elective
franchise. Let us have the Aus
tralian system in Kansas.

American farmers want an army and

Pussy aud tn. Porker.

An FL Dorado Springs (Mo) CORE

between Berkshire pig and kitten.
Both animals fed from the same trough,
and appeared 10 take delight in helping
each other. During the winter, when the
kittens feet got cold, kitty would hunt
up piggy, now and then giving a loud
meow, upon hearing which the porker
would answer with a friendly grunt.
Pussy, in finding its friend, would take
the nearest route for the hogs back, gen
orally climbing up its long snout.
During cold nights kitty slept on the
pigs back. and in the morning would be
found in the same convenient place rid
ing TO the barn, about furlong distant,
where puss caught mice. 1t was, indeed,

"a man born and bred IN the United
States fails 20 appreciate how much slang
he daily uses in conversation" said an
intelligent American who had just re-
turned from a continental tour. lie

ever, when be returns 10 America after
having bad daily intercourse with some
OF the well bred persons in Europe. He
picks up these blots ON perfect speech 50
gradually and they multiply 80 rapidly
that before hs is aware OF the extent Of
these acquisitions az least one-tenth part
Of his vocabulary consists Of slang ex-
pressions.
This fact is so true Of America that
even the ignorant peasants of ireland
recognize 1t when their countrymen re-
turn 10 their native land. AS heard in
America slang seens To add force and
expression 10 conversation, but this Is
only seeming, for when contrasted with
really simple and consequently elegant
diction the difference in strength can
readily be seen. There are some slang
words, however, In the American vo-
cabulary which, if used at the right time
and place, find their bulls eye like a
MIME ball. But, as a rule, the use of
slang words is only blemish on conver
sation, and its use cannot be too heartily
condemned. Chicago Herald.
