 Spread out the map again. Put your finger down at the town of Great Bend, in southern Kansas, on the Arkansas river. Annihilate by 8 backward step of forty years all signs of the white mans presence that now lie so thick throughout the length and breadth of this fertile valley of the Mile of Kansas" -the mysterious stream whose moun- tain fed waters are said to flow more below ground than above.
 Picture vast rolling prairie covered with all the shades of grass that ever grew. Fresh and spring green ill the sloughs. lush and long and June green on the river margins, burned brown on the southern slopes and misty and gray on the uplands where the buffalo grass spreads. The river is hidden by it. Higher than man's head the rank grass waves in every passing breeze or stands motionless in the August sun. To the waters very edge the traveller must go to look upon it's slow sliding food
 Down from the higher lands, north and south, come narrow paths worn 0y the feet of the mighty buffalo as he journeys with the seasons and halts and stamps at the river brink while he stakes his thirst. His "wallows" dot the up lands here and there-bare, round patches ten or twelve feet across, where his lordship has rolled and turned on every journey till the tough sod is worn through and not a spear of grass sprouts. At right angles to these deep, slim paths run the Santa Fe Trail; at times near the brink of the river, again cut ting across loop from bend to bend, avoid marsh or deep ravine.
 Along it's track is strung long caval- cade, the returning Santa Fe train for the summer of eighteen hundred and fifty-one. Rows of immense covered wagons, four abreast, and drawn by many yoke of oxen, weary plodders with heads downbent and heavy yokes rubbing their galled necks. Pack mules with their tight padded panniers strapped on their sides and their huge ears flap ping in time with their trim feet. Bronchos with gay, careless riders, and with none, nipping the tenderest tufts of grass and weed tops that are to their liking. Frontiersmen with furtive eye and ever ready rife, clad in buckskin and cottonade of indescribable cut. United States infantry in decidedly un- dress uniform, weary of the march and thirsty for war-Indians, Spaniards, ambush, anything, they said. to break the monotony of sun and heat, the climb ing of one rise" to see anothcs beyond, and the never ending sea of grass. Stragglers from nobody knew whence, going nobody knew where. The name less hangers on, outcasts and speculators in whatever was easily carried and could he dishnnastly won

"A Back Number. ''

This is the sighting remark that is of ten applied tos women who try to seem young, though they no longer look so. Sometimes appearances are deceitful. Female weakness, functional troubles, displacements and irregularities will add fifteen years to woman's looks. These troubles are removed by the use of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription. Try this remedy, all you whose beauty and fresh- ness is fading from such causes, and no longer figure in society as .sback num- ber."

NEW YoRg, June 2l.-Ths stock market to-
day was still suffering from the waiting attitude
ferent seems likely TO appear until after the
convention is we'll out of the way. The opening
was dull but firm and the market had an up
ward trend, but the pressure on Richmond and
West Point and Union Pacific checked the ad-
vance and the losses suffered in the first hour
nv those shares gave the market a weak ap-
pearanoe for some time. The decline was not
OF long duration, and a steady demand for
stocks was developed, which slowly increased
the amount of business done, while the strengt h
OF the market became more pronounced as the
