The Maine man stated that in a ride Of
fourteen miles he found ONLY I'VE small

were the only ones that had occupants
All the rest Of the land was mortgaged,
and was mJocuyied The land had been

enough 70 get title from the government,
and then 10 was mOrtgaged for about ten
times its real value.
The land was taken up not for the pur-
pose Of cultivation, because the annual

bic. but % mortgage The Eastern money
lenders were 81 hungry for high rates Of

Millions Of dollars have been loaned in
southwestern Kansas upon land that has
never been touched by a plow, and which
is absoluteIy yalueless, unless some means
can be discovered for irrigating it or
compelling the clouds to yield an abund-
ance Of rain.
There is a big fortune awaiting the man
who succeeds in producing rain, The
holders Of the mortgages On the drought
cursed lands Of southwestern Kansas
would pay handsomely for a sure means
Of making rain. These lands are rich
and would produce immense crops if the
drougths could be prevented.
The Maine man returned home and told
his neighbors, who are complaining OF
lack Of rain, that they ought to be hap
py-that they do not know what drought
is. He never expects to get a cent of the
money he invested in a Kansas mortgage.
He regards the men who got the millions
of money from Eastern money lenders as
much shrewder than connecticut Yam
kee. They worked the mortgage scheme
for all there was in it. and have gone to
parts unknown to make the most Of the
money they 50 easily obtained.
1t seems strange that money lenders Of
the east, who 50 recklessly invested their
money in the arid lands Of the west,
should have overlooked the advantages
Of the south. It begins to look, however,
os If the south were beginning to attract
their attention. The money they invest
in the south they will get back. They

which they have experienced from their
Kansas investments.

Summertime.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Summer, in all her beauty, reigns.
over the mountains, seas and plains,
In temperature and in torFid heat,
In country green and dusty street,
Or mild or moderate or intense
She rules. I'll sing in her defensei
Doth she not rear the tender brood
OF animals for human food?
Make flowers. for honey from bee,
And quicken fruits upon the tree,
Whose laden branches bear the strain
And pay the laborer for his painY
Even the rivers mighty swell
And oceans throb reward him Welt
Upon their bosoms, in their deeps,
Pleasure and profit both he reaps,
While on the margin, al. his feet,
The kissing waves advance, retreat
Go health and wealth. go hand IN hand.
In Summertide, byssea or land.

burden OF an income tax from 1863 to 1871 1t

men lodged it, while the men of moderate
incomes couldn't and didn't. In the nine
years OF its assessment as a war measure il

Treasury The country is much richer to-

Notwithstanding President Cleveland's
declaration that he would convene Con-
gress in extra session mot before Sep
TENDER ] and not later than Septemb her
Is" there are some people in Washing
ton who seem to doubt that an extra
session will be held at all. The Wash
ington Post records bet made a day or
two of 500, at even money, that an extra
session will not be convened in Septem-
Der. The man on the negative side of the
wager offered TO put $40 against 500 that
Congress would not be called together in
October or at any time before November
but his antagonist weakened. The mega
tive "plunger" claimed to be in possession
of some sort of secret information, but
refused to say exactly what, contenting
himself with the statement that his faith
in it was sufficiently strong to induce him
to believe his money was perfectly safe.
Bets of the kind sometimes forecast
events correctly; but in this instance,
when the President has already an
nounced his intention of calling an extra
session there cannot be much doubt
that an extra session will be Forthcoming
in September.
