THE WORLDS FAIR.

There seems to be doubt in the
minds of many of our people as to-
whether or not Kansas will be rep
resented, at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton in. Chicago, in 1893. That
question: has been settled beyond a
doubt, the state will be represented
at this great worlds fair. Such
being the fact we wish to call the
attention OF the people of the Sec.
ond district to- the Importance OF
providing the state board with a
complete exhibit of all the natural
resources, Of this part OF the state.
we will have state building, the
greater part of which will be used
to display the natural resources and
products of the state, and will also
be home and headquarters for the
people of Kansas while within the
limits of the exposition grounds.
Competitive exhibits, whether for
eign or of our own country. will
have to be. placed in the govern
ment buildings; they can be placed
nowhere else. Ample space has
been secured for Kansas in each of
these buildings, where she can COM
pete with the world for the prizes to-
be awarded by the awarding juries
in 1898. The largest amount OF
space secured is in the agricultural
and horticultural buildings, believ-
ing that Kansas can make as fine a
display in these two departments as
any other state i'm the Union. The
question now to be decided u.s., will
the agriculturists Observation-Disclosures
of the state make AN effort to fill
this space with a. grand, competit-
i've display? To do this will require
some extra efforts on our part We
believe the majority Of our produc-
ers have sufficient pride in the state.
to make this effort. They know the
value of fertilizers on land, and the
proper preparation and cultivation
of land for crops Of all kinds,
whether corn, oats, wheat. flax,
castor beans, millet, timothy, clover
or any other product grown by the
agriculturist. The hortic ulturists,
of whom we have many, understand
what is necessary to- produce the
best results, and we look forward to-
a grand exhibit of fruit in the horti--
cultural building by the Second dis
trict. There will be provided for
them the best facilities for taking
care of delicate fruits, in the way
of cold storage. We wish to make
good display in the forestry build
ing, first by a variety of our best
native wood, shown in sections of
trees. of which we have much that
is very fine. We do this to show
that forests can be grown upsn the
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-02-04


We believe that an exhibit can be
made that will prove conclusivelJ
that the BEST of results can be OBJ
tanned by planting trees and grow
ing forests, on our prairies. 1t car
be shown. also the rapidity with
which tile different varieties make
their growth. Building rock We
have in great abundance. of fine
quality and of many varieties. We
wish to exhibit the different varie
ties. At several points there il
marble of fine quality. This we
wish to give a prominent place in
our display. The object of bring
ing this matter to the attention OF
our people now. is that they may
have time to- make the. necessary
preparations for growing success
fully the articles to be produced fol
the fair in 1898. Ground must be
properly prepared before planting
time. Seed of the best quality
must be secured, fruit trees and
vines must have special care. The
expression "There is, no excellence
without labor" is nowhere more
fully illustrated than in the produc
tions of the soil;; for without both
care and labor excellent results can
not be obtained. Nature has not
dealt more bountifully with any
country than eastern Kansas, and il
the same care and attention was
given to the fruit growing interests
in this state that there is in CaIifbr
MIA, and some other states. il il
hard to, tell Tie what extent fruit
could be produced. Will our peo
ple take a. smalll piece of ground
and a. few fruit trees and vines. and
for once see what a high state O.
fertalizing and proper care will do
YOU will be surprised at the results
We believe every county and local
ity should have it's proper credit fol
all articles furnished, so every eX
hibit will be plainly labeled with the
name of the producer, the postofiice
and county. The board will furnisl
all necessary transportation for al
articles for the exposition, will give
necessary instructions pertaining te
the various exhibits. will receive
the same when notified of theil
being ready. We are now prepared
to, receive any noa-perishable arti
Giles, that may be offered, if suitable
for exhibition. All articles present
ed will have to- be examined by
competent persons, selected by the
board. This is deemed necessary
as much might be sent to- Chicago
that would not be worthy of aplace
in exposition. This examination
will take place in each county from

Two weeks later Lnrkin Lyles came
in and reported to the sheriff.

II don't know what's your choice

"Al1 right, Larkin," returned the!

So sheriff and prisoner started for

When the latter entered the waitingl

the laconic reply.

Lyles, 'hain't he never cum? He start

While they were discussing, and the

After they had shaken hands warmly,
the sheriff, who knew the governor
we'll, introduced the prisoner as one Of
the "best-hearted men in eastern Ken
lucky"
well, now" spoke the governor,
lets understand this business Was

Mo- returned the sheriff, mot for

lower lip. An now, want ter tell We,
governor, there never was better man
than Larkin Lyles, an want ter say
furder, that Ed Campbell is n heap sight
better lookin' man than he wuz before.
His lip wuz heap too thick, governor,
an Larl<in jist trim med it down to
about the right size"
'Well," returned Gov. Clark, laugh
ing. isn't this rather strange conduct
in an officer leaving n man sentenced
to the penitcntiary to come alone? Did
you know you were responsible for

"Sartinly, governor, / knowed all
that. I know'd jist what wuz dom.

Women who think it so strange that
New York men occupy seats in crowded
cars, elevated and otherwise, while feni-
nine passengers clutch for straps, should
draw the moral from an incident that
happened in Fifth avenue stage few
days ago. One of those clumsy vehicles
was numbering r-1 the avenue with two
passengers, one a middle aged man sit
ting by the door. At Nineteenth street
the stage stopped, and an old lady, after
bidding an affectionate farewell to a
friend at the step, climbed in and sat
down opposite the middle aged passen.
ger. The latter was gazing idly into
the street, when he felt a touch. and
suddenly found himself in possession of
a nickel. Evidently it came from the
newly entered passenger, though she
favored him with neither word nor
glance. 1t was equally plain that it
was her fare, and that she expected the
middle aged man to deposit it in the
box.
After a moments hesitation he arose,
CROPPED his way to the forward end of
the stage, dropped the nickle into its
proper resting place, and returned,
glancing involurtarily at the old lady
for some word or look of thanks. None
came. She adjusted her fur wrap and
seemed oblivious Of his presence. The
bus rumbled on up Fifth avenue for
some minutes without incident. when
the old lady suddenly leaned over and
said, Stop the stage at Thirty-fourth
street." The middle aged man flushed
slightly with evident annoyance, and
said decisively: Madam, you compelled
me to deposit your fare a few moments
ago, and omitted the commonest civil
ties in doing so. / am neither the driver
nor conductor of this stage, and though
should instantly respond to a courteous
request, you may stop this stage wher'
ever You please-for yourself" and she
did.-New York Tribune.
