KANSAS RUINS.

Abandoned Cities In the Western Arid
Regions.
Western Kansas is being steadily
drained OF its population Of farmers.
In 1883 twenty-five counties contained
102, ,669 people, and to-day the total
is only 54,663. The exodus has been
caused by the settlers failure to raise
crops on their arid plains. The hope Of
those who have remained is in irriga-
ton. At the present time they are in
vesting in windmills, and hundreds Of
these machines will be set to work this
summer wherever there are signs of
water beneath the surface Of the prairie.
The furnace-like winds which have
hitherto parched the farmers wheat
will then do him service as an agency
in irrigating his lands. The agricul-
turist has not been the only loser, how
ever. ALI along the branch lines Of the

SUNSET COX KNEW HIS MAN

How the New Yorker Limited the Time
Allowed to Joe Cannon.
Representative Cannon, of Illinois,
recently told a Washington Post man
a good story on himself. 1t is reminis-
cent of the days when "Sunset" Cox
was in congress. The New York rep
resentative had had some things to say
about citizen of Mr.. Cannon's state,
and the Illinois man wanted to defend
his constituent.
"Will the gentleman from New York
yield to me?" said Mr.. Cannon.
Certainly" said Mr.. Cox.
''For how long?" inquired the
speaker.
Gas long as the gentleman from Illi-
nois will keep his hands in his
pockets" said Mr.. Cox, laughingly.
Mr.. Cannon accepted the terms and
proceeded with his remarks. He ut
tered just one sentence and half, and
then his hands, which had been snugly
stuck into his pockets, came out and
were flying through the air like a
couple of windmills.
s'Time's up," said Mr.. Cox, who knew
his man, and then Mr.. Cannon sat
down.
Anybody who has seen Mr.. Cannon
gesticulate will appreciate the spirit
with which he tells of his first and only
effort to talk without the use of his
arms.

Oxford is learned place, and an Ok

the average beholder. But a young
American girl, with no respect for
traditions, upon meeting an Oxford
don at a fashionable dinner party, be-

to his surprise and disgust. Finally
she asked: why is the letter J like
the end of spring?' OF course the don
could not tell. Because it's the be-
ginning of june" was the solution.
'Now will you tell me" said the don,
sternly, ''why the letter K is like q

give it up. because it is the end of
pork, said the don. He was bothered
with no more conundrums.

, Ash Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday Is so called from the
curious custom Of strewing ashes on
tho head as . sign of penitence. 1t
was probably instituted by Gregory
the Great, who was pope from 500 to
o04. Originally the ashes were conse-
Grated on the altar before mass,
sprinkled with holy water; and signed
three times with the cross. During
this ceremony the priest recited these
words: Memento quod cinis Ga, ct In
cinerem revefteria. Remember that
thou art dust and must return to dust
The ashos thus couse Grated were then
strewn on the heads Of the o6acistino
priests and the asnemh1ed peopls. The
ashes wore Usually obtafnod BY burn

cedipg lPslm) Su1day.

PLuckY ARMLEss MEN.

Some Who Have Succeeded In Spite Of
Their Great Alisfortuns.
There are many persons who, through
one misfortune or another, lose their
arms. It is terrible loss, but have
often admired the pluck and ingenuity
of some persons, who would not let
this misfortune overcome them.
knew q young fellow, seventeen years
of age, who, at q celebration OF some
political victory, was aiding another
young man to load cannon, when the
gun went of before they were ready.
and while they were ramming home
the charge, says the New York Adver-
tiser, it blew both arms of both young
men. One of them afterward died, but
Bob, as we called him, survived and
got we'll. For years he has successfully
managed good business, as the keep
er of restaurant and bakery, and en-
ployed his brothers and sisters to help
him. It is wonderful how well he keeps
track of the business and plans it, and
he can open doors, go after the mail,
and attend to great variety OF busi-
ness. People who have lost their arms
have become artists, some holding the
brush in their teeth, and others train
ing themselves to paint with their
feet, holding the brushes in their toes.
Some years ago there was in Brussels,
Belgium, an artist with no hands, but
who was very skillful in using his feet
in painting. He handled the brushes
and palette with great skill, and his
paintings, which were mostly cafes,
were very attractive.
. Another young man. who lost both
his legs and arms, learned to paint by
holding his brush in his mouth, and
painted sitting up in bed. Mr.. I'm
than, who performed in New York, is
without arms, and holds a cornet in his
toes and puts it to his mouth and
plays, will eat and drink, feeding him
self, loads and shoots guns with accu-
racy, and plays cards with his feet.
There are so many things that q
man can learn to do, who is unfortun-
ate, that we admire the pluck and
persistence of these men, who will not
let their condition chain them down,
but show an adaptability that is won
derful. Let no one, no matter how un-
fortunate they may be, get dis
couraged, but strive to overcome their
difficulties. They will grow stronger
and be happier and better.

Fellows with an Eye to Business.
s'There are only three men in Chi
cago in that fellows line of business, y
remarked the chatty Wabash avenue
barber, as he turned to strop the ra-
zor. ''Oh, he trades in BARRIERS crank
notions, superstitions and whims," the
operator continued. s'He goes from
one shop to another with that little
handbag and trades razors, strops,
brushes, hones-anything in the ton
serial line. How does he make liv-
ing at it? Easy enough. You don't
know BARRIERS very well, guess. Well,
one of 'em buys razor for, say, two
dollars, and after he's used it awhile
makes up his mind he doesn't like it..
So he sells it to this man for one dol
lar. This man leaves it on trial with
some other barber and gets four dol
lars worth Of old razors in exchange,
and then he sells one Of those old razors
to the original purchaser of the two
dollar razor. He does the same with
strops and homes and brushes. OF
course he makes money. Dresses well,
smokes good cigars aud works only
when he feels like It, There's money
in it for the three fellows in the busi-
ness, but the snap will be overdone as
soon as the scheme is better known.
Capital necessary to begin? Cheek and
acquaintance are all that are neces-
sary. When the razor broker gets q
cranky customer who shaves himself
and who doesn't care what his outfit
costs, provided it suits him-why, then,
he does what anyone else would do.
He makes the crank pay for his crank
iness."

A CALIFORNIAN CANAL.
It IL to Run in the Interior Parallel &
the Coast.

It II to Run in tho Interior Parallel -
the Coast.
An ambitious scheme for canal in
the interior of California has just been
set afoot. 1t is to be run parallel to
the coast, and is to cost ten million dol
lars, which has yet to be raised, and
the protector expects to see steamers
running up as far as Brinkerville, two
hundred and twenty miles from the
coast, in the not far distant future.
"The main canal" he says, ''will be
one hundred and seventy-five miles
long, from Suisun bay to Tulare lake.
It will be extended to Bakersfield, and
there will be branch canals running
out to various important towns.
It will be large enough to carry vessels
Of heavy draft, and will be just what
its name implies-a ship canal. A sys-
tenn of immense locks will be necessary,
and thereby we will obtain another
great value from the canal. The sur
plus water in the locks will be distrib-
uted through the lower adjoining coun-
try for irrigation, and the elevation 1T
each lock will give great facilities for
water power. Motors operated by
water would furnish electric lights for
all the towns on our line. From Suisun
bay the canal will extend down the San
Joaquin valley, the river being utilized
most of the way. Tulare, Buena Vista
and Kern lakes and the Kern river will
be included in construction. The water
will be obtained from these lakes and
rivers, and from the natural drainage
The drainage is an important factor.

At a very early age he decided
upon the legal profession, and with
but a limited education combined
with that heroic quality called per-
sistence, which has ever found an
abiding place in his character, be-

spirit Of the boy, which has since
characterized the man. The ele-
mepts of success were detected in
the shaping of his hfe's plans, by
many, who have watched his career
with much interest. At the eXpi-
ration OF two years, he returned to
his native town, Camden, and en-

WITH some amendments to the
measure as it passed the House it
is now confidently believed that the
Senate will pass the Wilson bill at
an early day. The.eyes of the ma
ton are turned on that body, which
is held by the Democrats 10y a very
slender majority, but if they will
stand true to their colors they can
give the relief needed without the
aid of the Populite Senatorial vote,
which is decidedly an uncertain
quantity, and can not be depended
on in an emergency, matter what
the principle or policy involved
may be
