A politician, whose home is in Southern
California, was comfortably esconsed last
night in An armchair at the Palace, dis
cussing with some San Francisco friends
the result of the recent Senatorial contest.
THAT reminds me-" he continued, " of an
incident in connection with. Los Angeles
election a number of years ago. Judge
Brunson, now attorney for the Santa Fe.
was then a candidate for the District At
tOrneyship of the county. The Judge, you
know, is feet 8, and has arms so long that
when pendant they reach below his knees.
The fight for the Office had been very bitter
and a number of personalities were banded
back and forth. The climax was reached on
the eve of the election. A mass meeting
was held, at which Mr.. Bruns0u vigorously
denounced his opponent. That man. said
the Judge, and he wigged his long right
arm with a serpentine gesture. reminds me
of an animal whose walk and conversation
are so peculiar that you cannot tell from the
trail of its track whether its going north
ward or coming back 1t is, perhaps, un-
necessary to add that the metaphorical

And smiles 'Good-by."

And leaf and stream and sunset sky,
The boat Still ciings to the darkening strand
The shadows grow on either hand
Aud glide away-the stroke is slow,
The very oars seem lOath TO go;
The pale moon reaches forth to get
The rivers jeweled amulet,
While on the air OF even tide
flushed all the sounds Of night beside
Comes sweet "Good-by."
All, mel IT is no trivial thing
To say 'GOod-by;"
And the desire Of each may bring,
in years to come, no fond reply.
Yet l rejoice that have met
Thy hand, thy voice, oh. Margarctl
Dim grows the fast receding shore,
Though fingers still the laggard oar,

While echo FAINT and far replies;
Soft, sweet "Good-by."

One OF the gruup-and one, by the way, TO

IRRIGATION IN KANSAS.
An Experiment to Be tried in Phillips
County--Work Already''Begun.

The Ward irrigation company is
the name Of a corporation that will
make an experiment in irrigation
this season, which if successful, will
be of incalcnable value to the set
tiers Of the western part Of the state.
The company has an authorized cap
ital of $4,000 and the president is
A. H. Ellis, of Beloit. The compa-
ny has already bought $500 acres
Of land in the valley Of the north
branch of the Solomon between Lo-
gan, in Phillips county, and Dens-
more, in Norton county. It is ex-
pected that the greater portion, if
not all, of this land can be easily If
rigated. The plan is very simple. A
dam is to be constructed across the
river about two miles east Of Dens-
more, from which water will dlstrib-
uted by bitches. 1t is believed that
not more than Is per cent of the en-
tire river supply will be necessary to
irrigate the entire tract of $500 acres.
If no more is used the loss will not
affect the mills! along the stream
below the dam.
A contract for digging six miles
has been let and already begun. The
company has received a carload of
potatoes from Colorado, which will
be planted in the tract. Sweet po-
tatoes, white beans and other vegeta-
bles will also be planted. 1t is pro-
posed to plant general assortment
in order that the experiment may be
complete. The company has the
advice Of Colorado engineers who
have had experience in irrigation
and there is every reason to believe
that the experiment will be success
