A Trego County Man an Exile.
When I wrote you last week I failed to
date my letter.
Since. last writing have passed
through the mining camps Of Helena,
Kansas and Joplin, Mo. I wish to say
something regarding this industry. This
whole country for miles around ia under
laid with lead and zinc and the whole
country resembles Kansas prairie dog
town. The whole country appears to be
ON fire when we see 80 many smoke
stacks curling the smoke of Kansas and
Missouri coal above them. The mining
lands are covered by men and companies
from all over the world and they are
leased to miners for 20 per cent. Of the
proceeds. Some men in short time
have become rich while many have failed.
The zinc and lead are found frOm 16 to
100 feet in depth and is found in most
all shapes from the size OF birds egg to
large blocks. It is deposited in a muddy
Assistance and has to undergo thorough
washing.
1 drove IS miles south OF Joplin and
nearly wore out my buggy tire on the
rocks and hills, SO yesterday I dropped
down into the Nation, I will write ur
the Nation next week If keep in con.
dition to do 90.

Fables Of the Genii. (No. g.

Two brothsss there were, 80 our story begins,
And for all that it tells they might have been twins
3ut one thing Is mentioned Of which We are sure;
That one had grown rich while the other grew
That he richer one proved but his riches curse,
For he had, like miser, close strings to his pure;
While the praise of the other We barely exait
When tits said that he generous was, 70 fault
One evening in winter, the legends relate,
A traveller came to the richer ones gate.
He seemed poor and needy, we'd call him
tramp.
So he hobbled along to the brothers. instead,
Who gave to the traveller supper and bed.
Now the needy one proved, to the brothers sur
prise,
But a genius who travelled about in disguise.
SO to pay for his lodging he left in his care
most wonderous machine as the legends
declare.
It would grind If once told, whatever you'd ask.
And nothing could prove q too difhcult task
But of some we are told that grind on It they
shouldn't,
If the man were q sinner to stop it he Couldn't
It ground this poor brother, both horses and cows;
It ground him out land and 1t ground him house;
1t ground him out bees, with their hives full OF
honey,
he never, never once asked it to grind him ont
money!
Except when the needy ones came to his door,
Then it ground him out money to give to the poor
Now his brother perceived and he sought to
The machine that had caused his relations success
He took it right home with him, wicked old sin
ner,)
And set it to grinding some gravy for dinner.
Twas easy to start 1.-THE devil to stop!-
And his house was soon filed from the bottom
to- top.
Till at last in despair, If the word we may say,
He must send for the brother to take 1t away.
The next that we hear of this wondrous machine
Was when it was sold to q merchant marine.
On board of the ship-'twas the captains own
fault
IT'S said that he set it to grinding some salt
It ground and kept grinding. No sailor could stop
it
And into the water they thought they would dropt.
Alas, they were late, when they tried this to do.
For botn ship and machine soon went down with
the crew.
And there on the bottom tits grinding away,
And that Is what made the sea salty they say.
Somewhere on the bottom. to our great regret
This magical thing may be grinding there yet
With no one to stop it and start it 'tis funnyi
To grind US out millions, yes billionsl Of money!

could we possess this most wonderful thing

For duties and taxes never need yex,
We'd grind our own money by bushels and pecks.

And up the Historical River Saline
On hunt for this magical grinding machine.
