are perfectly round, and have no outlet,
and never go dry. The brine is SO clear
and blue that they resemble mirrors set
in the plain. In dry, hot weather the
sun seem to concentrate its heat on the
plain and the barren sand hills that sur
round it.
Then comes one of the sudden storms,
so common in that latitude; and the face
of the plain is changed. The waters from
the hills rush down through canyons, and
in single night it is transformed into a
broad ripping lake, filled with the
strongest bluest brine on earth. Its
shores outlined by crest on crest of
feathery snow-white foam. Not a living
thing is to be found in its depths; not
even frog is to be found on its shores.
For two or three months the lake ripples
on the plain. Then the dry season comes
again, and in few days the hot, thirsty
winds drink up the waters. Soon the
salt comes again to the surface and we
have nothing left but the snow white
field. with its glimmering lakelets 1t
is here the farmer of Southwestern Kan
sas gets his salt. He goes down in dry
time and fills his wagonbox with what
looks like fiat white building stone. But
the salt is easily crushed and is the best
that can be had for sailing meat. l
once knew party of hunters, who took
a bath in the lake when the water was
high, some of the party was from the
seacoast, and thought it would seem
like home to take plunge in the surf,
but they soo1 forgot their dream of
home. The brine was so strong that it
nearly took the skin off the poor fellows
backs. Their suffering was terrible
but there was nothing to do but bear it
as patiently as they could. They had
ride of twenty miles before they could
get a fresh water bath. Before they got
there the smarting was somewhat lessen
ed and their skin was covered with a
thin crust of salt. OF course this was
easily removed, but the cuticle was red
and tender for several days after.
Of course the salt lake of Indian Terri
tory viii never become famous water
ing place for no one could be induced to
take more than one bath in its brine.
However, nothing has been made in vain
and when the Cherokee strip becomes
the property of the white men this lake,
one Of natures great wonders, will be
put to some good use by our enterprising
race. Give us chance and we will
ship the salt to the markets of the world,
and use the water to irrigate the barren
sand hills and the stiffness that is now
only broken by the coyotes scream shall
echo the busy hum of thousand mills
and factories and many an acre of virgin
sod will soon be rotting in the sun. The
days of the cattle king are DER and the
cowboy rides bis line no more.

THE FORT SCOTT MONITOR.

About a month ago the Fort Scott
Daily Monitor discontinued its telegraph
service and changed the time Of its
issue from morning to afternoon, the
publishers, the Rice brothers, ANNOUNCE
ing that the changes were made for bust
ness reasons. The patrons of the Moni-
tor and the business community were
not long in discovering that the loss of
the morning paper with its telegraph news
placed them at too great disadvantage
and was costing them great deal more
than the necessary support to sustain the
paper amounted to, and without waiting
for the experiment of doing without it
to do them serious injury, they petitioned
the publishers to renew their wire SER
vice and issue the Monitor in the morn
ing as heretofore, supplementing the
petition with guarantees of substantial
support. Acting upon this the publish
ers Of the Monitor announce that be-
ginning with Sunday morning the paper
viii appear with full Geographic news
service. The form of the paper will
also be changed from four to eight pages,
with other metropolitan features added.
The Fort Scott Monitor is one of the
oldest dailies in the state and its service
to the state and Republican party, to
both Of which 1t has ever been zealously
loyal, has been of incalculable value,
and it is welcomed back to its wanted
Snhera of usefulness TO both
