scarcely relish the suggestion that if
they would abandon their farms and
all their lares and penates they would
be less likely to be considered fit candi-
dates for the lunatic sylum and more
assured of the sympathy of those who
put their dependence in irrigating
bitches rather than the clouds.
A Spanish historian of the sixteenth
century, referring to the expeditions
sent out from Montezuma' capital in
search of the Seven Cities of Cibola
and the Provice of Quivera, speaks of
a rich and powerful people with great
towns which would require three days
to pass through them. All their lands
were fertile, abundant and with great
fruit trees. and very full of buffalo.
In one of the cities some thousands
of houses three and four stories high
were counted, and at every one-fourth
of league, more o: less. highways of
the width of sixteen paths land some
more) entered the city. All the plains
from the city to the mountains seemed
a paradise, many large asequias abound
ing for irrigation. A cacique told
Senior Adelantado of other immense,
rich inland cities and notable things
about them; of plains full of nuffaloes
and other things of strange greatness"
An expedition to this country in 1913
was driven back by "a terrible and
awful earthquake, which seemed to
play With the most solid mountains"
and the search was practically abandon
ed until Coronado organized his famous
expedition and marched through Kan
sas to the bluffs at Atchison, where he
got his first glimpse of the Missouri
river and began his return march with
ont discovering the Seven Cities OF CT
bola, though he located the Province of
Quivera in the northeastern part of
this state. Afterwards his guide con-
fessed that he had misled him. from
towns and the plains teeming with
crops raised by irrigation must have
been between the Missouri river and
the mountains-in short, in western
Kansas. Their depopulation and dis
appearance fIom the face of the earth
prior to the eighteenth century was
due doubtless to the earthquake above
referred to, which did not, however,
change the climate, OF the character of
the soil, which is to day exactly as de-
scribed by Pena!.'sa 1t will be strange
indeed if. with the ..rstematic irriga-
ton of that region, its "a" cent popula-
ton does not acquire as mL.j. wealth
and build as great cities as those
sought for in vain by the Spanish con-
querors, and restore its ancient power
and prestige. This is but one of the
many results that may be anticipated
from perfect system of irrigation I'M
der national encouragement and aid,
as foreshadowed by the events at Sail
ma and Wichita, which paint but faint
images of the sun of prosperity, the
rim Of whose disc is already visible
above the horizon to the farmers of
western Kansas. Topeka Press.

young lady politely told him she was in

the problem, how many stamps were
given the young lady when she called
next day.

PAwNEE ROCK NOTES.


From .The Other One''
John D. Let's, south Of town, is very
sick
Thanksgiving day was very quiet in
this locality. Too hard times to be
thankful for much of anything.
B. w. Swartz, younger brother of
our grain buyer, came out last week
from Quincy. ILL.,, where he has been
attending school.
Walter Bowman puts on more agony
now than anyone. all because of the
arrival of big. ten pound boy, at his
house on Friday the LIST.
The people of Pawnee Rock have
another ''kick coming against the
Santa Fe road for the unsatisfactory
way in which the coal supply is furnish
ed here.
The attention of the school board has
been called to the unsafe condition of
the school house. The east wall is
slowly bullying out to the east, caused
doubtless by an imperfect foundation.
The suggestion has been made that
some of the old bridge iron rods be
purchased and the building rodded up.
The event Of the winter, so far. was
the entertainment given by the Christ
ian church people on Thanksgiving
night. at their church building. Not
withstanding the cold night good au-
dience was in attendance and the ex-
ercises were greatly enjoyed. The re-
ceiptS at the door alone, at 10 cents a
head. Melted SO.

CONGRESS conYe ned on Monday. the
18th, and the real work of doing some
thing for the country is now looked for.
Our democratic congress has plain,
open duty to perform, d duty laid down
to them in the national platform of
1892. Democrats demand that the
pledges of that platform be redeemed,
republicans assume to dare the demo
cratic congress to stand by the party
platform, and populists profess to be-
lieve the democrats will not dare do it.
We hope to see the democratic congress
go straight ahead in the line of duty
and redeem the party pledges. The
people wanted tariff reduction, ecC-
nomic reform, and safe currency; they
said so in overwhelming ma jority at
tho last presidential election. Give the
people what they want-and go right
at it. Trust the people at all times, in
all thidgs.

TWO ROYAL PROFESSIONS.
Marie Antoinette Was the Central Figure
In Each, So Widely Different.

LII EdCsi, so w iueIy DlneronUs
One hundred years ago, on Oct 16, 1893,
the height Of the reign of terror was
marked by the decapitation of Marie An
toinette in the Place de la Revolution in
Paris. Carlyle writes of it in his history:
1.-TWO professions, or royal progresses,
three and twenty years apart, have often
struck us with strange feeling of contrast
The first is of beautiful archduchess and
dauphiness quitting her mother city at the
age of IS, toward hopes such as no other
daughter of Eve then had.
'''On the morrow says Weber, an eye
witness, the dauphiness left Vienna. The
whole city crowded out; at first with sor-
row which was silent. She appeared, you
saw her shrink back into her carriage; her
face bathed in tears; hiding her eyes now
with her handkerchief, now with her hands;
several times putting out her head to see
yet again this palace of her fathers, with
er she was to return no more.
"'She motioned her regret, her gratitude
to the good nation, which was crowding
here to bid her farewell. Then arose not
only tears, but piercing cries on all sides.
Men and women alike abandoned them
selves to such expressions of their sorrow.
1t was an audible sound of wall in the
streets and avenues of Vienna. The last
courier that followed her disappeared, and
the crowd melted away
1.-THE young imperial maiden of 10 has
now become worn, discrowned widow of
38-gray before her time. This is the last
procession: Few minutes after the trial
ended, the drums were beating to arms in
all sections At sunrise the armed force
was on foot, cannons getting placed at the
extremities Of the bridges. in the squares,
crossways-al1 along from the Palais de
Justice to the Place de la Revolution. By
10 o'clock numerous patrols were circulat-
ing in the streets-90, 0OC foot and horse
drawn up under arms. At II Marie An
toinette was brought out. She had on an
undress of pique blanc. She was led to the
place of execution in the same manner as
an ordinary riminal-bound, on cart; ac-
comparatively constitutional priest in lay
dress; escorted by numerous detachments
of infantry and cavalry.
''These, and the double row of troops all
along her road, she appeared to regard with
Indifference. On her countenance there
was visible neither abasement nor pride DO
the cries of 'Vive La republique' and Down
with tyranny which attended her all the
way, she seemed to pay no heed. She spoke
little to her confessor. The tricolor stream
ers on the housetops occupied her attention
in the streets du Roule and Saint Honore;
she also noticed the inscriptions on the
housefronts. On reaching the Place de la
Revolution, her looks turned toward the
Jardin National, whilom Tuileries; her
face at that moment gave signs of lively
emotion. She mounted the scaffold with
oy1n1 orb. OF 1C.1S bar hao6 fall.
