three minutes! Well that is what L
did. by the watch, last Wednesday
morning-and think that if there is
any linen on the shrubbery l ought TO
have it. But maybe you would have
done the same if sight of Niagara
Falls was to be the reward of your
a gility. must add, however, in all
candor that the Falls disappointed me,
on first view. They did not seem so
stupendous as expected tofind them
and could not discover the least bit
ofawe, although I hunted all over my
person for it. Still 1 don't want to run
down Niagara Falls-even nailed up
in barrel-and if you happen to be
passing that way it won't do you any
harm to look at them.

The most conspicuous feature III the
landscape of rural New York is Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla." That odious and
impertinent placard is painted in great
yellow letters on every barn, L verify
believe, from Buffalo to Brooklyn, and
sadly mars what would otherwise be
most pleasant journey. And even
in spite of this DETACHMENT, western
New York is really very pretty
pretty country-nearly as pretty as
Kansas. 1t looks as if it had been
finished sometime though. There are
no signs of anything new about it.
And there are suspicious little piles of
rock here and there at the edge of the
fields. But it has a combination of
field and meadow, hill and plain,
stream and forest, very pleasant to
look upon, There is some particularly
charming scenery along the Mohawk
Valley, while the panorama Of beauti-
full views that unroiled as our train
sped down the Hudson, will hardly be
blotted out of my mind by anything l
shall see hereafter.

A country bred boy has apparently
an instructive horror and fear of great
cities, and must confess to a consid-
erable degree of nervousness as l ap-
preached New York in the night and
for the first time. But when l found
myself actually on the streets they
seemed as plain and familiar as if they
were old paths. 1t is hard to feel a
stranger in a city where nearly every
corner lamp post bears the name of a
street that you have read about all
your life. Then there are good many
Kansas people here. Hon. John
Francis was one of the first I found
snugly ensconced in the private office
of his Interstate National Bank" )"
Next door to him is the office of Will
liam NJ. Thacher, Kansas boy (son
of T. Dwight Thacher) who came here
to study law and is staying to practice
it,-and is practicng it. L am indebt-
ed to him for special courtesies. And
not very Tar away the good Gen. Rlce
has opened loan Office! Alas that
the erstwhile valiant champion of the
Alliance should himself join the ranks
of the Shylocks!

with me asles, followed with dread
full cough and turning into fever.

ed her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was mere handful

1t is a misfortune for any one who
lives i'm Kansas to be obliged to leave
it at any time during the year. But il
one must leave it to travel over the
eastern half of the continent, then let
him leave in June, for it is then Meth.
er too hot nor too cold for comfort
and the whole country looks its lowell.
est. Even Missouri is pleasant to look
upon in June, for one forgets its lost
and undone political condition in not
ing what fields of wheat there are and
how well the corn looks, and how
pleasingly the different greens of the
hillside forests mingle. And it is the
same i'm Illinois and in Indiana and in
Canada and in New York. Inever
made the trip before in summer time
and 1 shall never make itagain in any
other time if can help it.

With only a few hours between

to hunt up all the lola colony as
should have been glad to do. But
Mr.. Wallis Ewing met me at the de-
pot and very kindly gave me his un-
divided attention, taking me around
and showing me the sights of the city,
with all a .Chicagoan's pride. And
there are sights to see. 1t would be
tedious to tell about all of them, but
there are three that remain particular
ly vivid in my minds eye: the fiow-
er beds in South Park, the view of the
city and the lake from the top of the
auditorium tower, aud the queer ex-
perience of finding it necessary to look
twice before being able to see the
ground from the upper floor of those
sixteen story Office buildings. Chica-
60 is a great city.

If fyou want to know how the Desert
of Sahara would look after a century
or so of abundant rainfall, travel
across Michigan. When the Almighty
divided the waters from the land, and
Lakes Michigan and Huron took to
their beds for good, the whole penin-
sula must have been left barren
sand bar. Even now there are places
where it has hardly got over it. Look
at those sand hills in Michigan City
for example. Hills hundred feel
high, of sand SO fine that it will not do
tomix mortar with, right in the middle
of the town. Life must be burden
there when the wind blows. But in
the main the sand seems to be pretty
well held down with grass and trees,
and SO Michigan bids fair to remain in
the Union and not all disappear Oh the
wings of some west wind.
