Miss Rrafidnn,s Novels.

The assertion recently made in an Eng

realized 100000 from her novels was
generally regarded as preposterous, but
Henry Labouchere says in London Truth
that he lis inclined to think that they
have brought in good deal moro than
the sum stated" The continuous sale of
Miss Braddon's novels is almost unprec-

The airship, when it mas come to stay,

conceded For half century the in
vention of the sewing machine was de-
layed because men could not get away
from the idea that needles eye had to
be in its head instead of being able to be
placed also in its point Perhaps the
notion that balloon must necessarily
be attached to an airship has kept back
aerial navigation 100 years. The best
opinion now is that the machine must
be constructed SO as to sustain itself in
the air and then be propelled by some
motive power, perhaps electricity. One
writer suggests the trolley system, with
the airship catching electricity from a
wire hanging below it and running
along the stretched wire.

mention two OF his best, the "Prairie
Queen" aud "Treg0s Beauty" plums.
Better fruit we have meyer seen. They
are unexcelled for size or flavor.
MIR. Hinshaw has proven to his own
satisfaction that fruit trees will grow as
fact and bear as well here as in any To-
cality he has ever visited.
One of the fruits he prizes very highly
is the native strawberry, the first stock Of
which hs secured from near a spring,
west of where Wilcox postoffice now
is situated. 1t thrives through all
changes of seasons and bears abundantly,
a fine. well favored berry about an inch
in diameter.
A natural curiosity, to be seen at his
place, is dwarf Seeding apple tree.
This shrub, which reaches to the height
of five feet, has not the least sign of a
trunk, but the branches start directly
from the ground, MOI can it be trained
into tree, yet each year sees it loaded
with delicious apples Of bright, golden
color.
Besides his fruit trees, he has also sew
eral varieties of forest trees that thrive
well under proper care. Among which
are Balm of Gilead, mulberry, gray will
low, red elm, white elm, box elder and
walnut. The walnuts have borne nuts
quite freely considering their age.
He has also many varieties of orna-
medtal shrubs, rose bushes, Iilacs etc.
He delights to show his grounds to all
visitors who are interested in fruit cult
ure, of which he is an enthusiast.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinshaw are getting we'll
along in years though they enjoy robust
health, which they attribute wholly to
this climate, as they have never exper-
fenced the same blessing in any other
locality in which they have ever resided.
They have reared large family of
fourteen sons and daughters. OF this
number four sons aud one daughter now
reside in Trego county.
OF the colony which came with them
they are the only ones who remain to
reap the benefits OF the development of
orr county. The remainder could not
endure the hardships incident to frontier
life, little dreaming of the reward in store
for those who had the courage to remain.

As Others See Us.

Would few words from a "furiner''
writing amidst the snow-clad hills that
buttress the beautiful Ohio river, and en-
viron the Queen City," be acceptable to
your readers in the north western portion
of Kansas?
If so, they shall be words of congratu-
lation. Congratulation first that Kansas
is now coming to be understood in the
remote centers of commerce and politics.
The days for talk of Bleeding Kansas,
starving Kansas, burning Kansas, freez-
ing Kansas, dry Kansas and drowning
Kansas, have passed by.
The throng of Masonic pilgrims, who
journeyed to Denver, have reported to
their friends everywhere that Kansas is
Kansas, and that there is none like her.
Western Kansas has been seen in the
glory of her wheat harvests, her schools,
churches and domestic felicity.
Southern papers, jealous of the agri.
cultural superiority of Kansas, still talk
of Kansas billiards., while in fact Kansas
is now having an enjoyable winter, with
reports of the best wheat weather the
state has ever had.
The people now living in western Kan
sas, in counties that have not been Or
ganized twenty years, have more advan-
tages than our fathers had in Ohio and
Indiana when their farms were four
times as old.
Thousans Of families who left Kansas a
few years ago are planning now to go
back to the land of surprises.
But do you know that IN going to Kan
sas, people are just going to the center,
and not to the outskirts of the United
States? Do you know Nj. Editor that
your editors chair stands almost in the
exact center of Uncle Sans immense
domainp Such is the fact! Leaving
Alaska out of the count, by careful COM
putation the geographical center OF the
United States is at a point in Jewell
county about % miles west Of the 98th
degree of longitude and about 10 miles
south of the 10th degree of latitude.
This would bring it near Msnkato and
within 100 miles of Wa-Keeney. The
exact point would be lat miles west Of
Omaha and Ill miles south of it.
Home consumption is soon to be the
encouraging feature of Kansas farming.
Morals and Manufactures must be
thought of and made to keep pace with
agriculture in the great central state.
Shyster lawyers, lying money sharks, and
immoral teachers must not be permitted
to live in the pure air of this great and
independent Commonwealth. Deceit,
falsehood, idleness, shams and drunken
ness have no rights in Kansas which the
people will respect. Kansas is becoming
more and more model state and coming
prosperity will be its reward for virtue
and sobriety. God has made Kansas for
a great state and to be the home OF
great ideas, pure principles and noble
practices. Narrowness, meanness, drunk
enness, and vices always associated with
it, should be kept out OF the state of
Kansas. With best wishes. Your obt.
servant, u. J. STARR.
