We have received copy of the
Globe Republican published at Dodge
City, Kansas, and which contains con-
troversy over the manner in which the
Forestry Station at that place has been
conducted. We know nothing of the
facts and therefore have no comments
to make. We cannot publish the Globe
Republicans article because it is too
lengthy for our use. But as Mr.. Wynn's
statement has appeared in full we will
give the concluding paragraph:
eve do not seek to make this polit-
ical affair. Politics has no part in it..
Every citizen of southwest Kansas is in
terested in the station. Under the care
of Wynn's predecessor the appearance
of the station was such as to call forth
praise and win admiration from every
populist who went there. Have there
been any manifestations of pride by any
one over its appearance the past year2

tIn tn e Days of Aud Lang Syne.

In u Lays u Au1u hdAS SJ hO'
(Read ,efore the Saturday Evening Club by one
of its mei nbers.)
It has often been matter of jest that
the writ er of this article was, at one
time, a resident of that part Of Southern
Illinois which bears the expressive,
though uncomplimentary name of
Egypt.
1t is my intention to recite, briefly,
the recC Elections of an eight year old
concerning some school days in this
same Egypt.
It was "destrick" school, number 1.
in order, but better known as "Spunky
Point from having shown commend
able (?) sp unk: in school district quar-
rel prior to my day. There was one
term of school in the year, beginning in
the fall and continuing six months.
The schoolhou &c had been the proverb-
ial Red, but ao vanced step and wore a
white coat the last term 1 attended.
1t was a frame structure of one room
about 20 X 80 fe ct and intended to, &C
commodate SC or 60 pupils.
There was q spirit of subdued excite
ment on the first day that would do
credit to poll tical convention, mainly
caused, or excu sed, by curiosity to see
the new teacher, and the eagerness to
get first choice of seats. Often the best
were taken by some early bird who was
shrewd enough to catch the worm by
coming the Saturday before, perhaps,
and leaving his books on the desk as an
evidence of settlement. Main force,
however, was often necessary to insure
possession and boy planting himself
in seat, with a 60 cd grip on each side,
would fight it out ON that line if it took
all winter.
If the teacher was a stranger, she was
escorted in by member of the school
board who announced her name and de-
parted.
As soon as "books'' were 'took up"
the teacher took our names. There
were often comical happenings at such
a time. There were always new pupils
and we waited in breathless wonder to
see who they were.
One family by the name of States car
ried out the sentiment by naming three
of the daughters, Florida, Arizona and
Virginia.
One child turning to her brother in
fright said, George what is my name?"
and she was ever afterwards known by
that sentence in full, rather than by
"Sarah," which she was christened.
We used Sanders readers and, I
think, Sanders spoilers. Spelling
matches were weekly occurrences, but
don't remember that "retirade'' was
ever given out.
There was no janitor and the girls
took turns in sweeping the floor. The
bows built the fires in wood stove,
which for size, would put to shame an
ordinary furnace.
Passing the water was regularly OBJ
served, think, four times day. There
were always two of the boys who barely
waited for the consent of the teacher
before they hurried to short bench
behind the door, where there was a
wooden pail and the most unwholesome.
rusty looking tin dipper, and away they
went. being gone long enough to draw
water enough to put out fire, It was |

We like to hear from our old neigh
bors occasionally and we are sure that
our readers do. W. III. Wilcox, now of
Gilmore, Ills, in making a remittance,
writes as follows: eve are having a
fine winter. More like Kansas than
an Illinois winter. I wish some of my
Trego county friends could have the
piles of wood I am burning up this win
ter. It makes me think of them every
day when [ see eight or ten men cut
ting and piling logs and brush to burn.

generally necessary Tor the teacher TO
rap on the window to hurry them, and
then they would come in painting and
with wet hair, and newly washed faces.
Then the one, whose turn to pass the
water had come, presented the dripping, |
rusty dipper to each pupil, and before
the task was ended many mishaps-ac-
cidental, of course-were bound to
occur.
Fortunately, we lived far enough from
the schoolhouse, as did most of the
pupils, to take our dinner, and it took
very little time to dispose of it, in order
to leave more time for play. We were
spasmodic about our playing, and I'm
often reminded of it by the Wa-Keeney
urchins, for history repeats itself. There
was a time when walking ON stills was
the thing to do and every child who
could get two pieces of board that would
! answer had some homemade arrang-
ment by means of which he went stalk
| ing about, three or four feet taller than
his wont, or varied the performance by
tumbling to the ground, and black eye
or skinned nose as the result of such
/ tumblings was just as honorable as any
stone bruise. Then every silt would
disappear and it was all bows and
arrows and not boy but whitfield, and
tested cords. and then experimental,
regardless of consequences, until moth
ing was out of danger except the mark.
The girls played "pison." We didn't
say poison-that would have taken out
all the snap-a wild, crude play, but so
full of fun; and to me the most COM
mendable thing about it was that all
could take part, for belonging, as did,
| to the infantry, my set were generally
! invited to ''stop tagging and we
usually consoled ourselves by lettering"
on piece of board, or watching the
old cat die.,, 'Snapping the whip
caught the infantry" too, as the small
est, and every new beginner, had to be
the snapper, and wonder it is that our
heads were not snapped off in the sud-
den jerk which sent us heels over heads
in the snow. Then there was the
needles eye," "King William was
King James son, +" " ''oats, peas, beans
and barley grows" and numerous 9th
ers in which the leaders were always
selected by the rhymes which are still
in force,-for instance, "enie, menie,
mimic, mo, etc.
The boys had deal of wicked enjoy
ment in the mail game" which you all
know. 1t was tried ON every new conner
They would produce three nails and say
to him: Now you see here are three
nails; if you will hide them, one at a
time, we can tell you where you put the
asst one" So he would pickup one and
go off with it, perhaps off into the
) woodshed, and then come back and get
the second and hide it. Meanwhile they
had been heating one on the stove, and
when he picked it up the boys were all
on hand and, amid roars of laughter,
they, of course, said where he put the
last one.

We believe that we have the best
class of readers of any paper in western
Kansas. A large percentage of them
have been subscribers for ten or twelve
years-and some for fifteen years-and
will doubtless continue to be patrons of
the WORLD until the end. Our subscrib-
ers take our paper because they want to
and not because they think the easiest
and cheapest way to rid themselves of
our opportunities is to subscribe. 1t is
the class of readers who read. The in
telligent, independent class who know
what they want for themselves. The
editor who is everlastingly imploring
everybody he meets to take his paper
and who, when necessary, agrees to send
it for nothing or for half price, may have
a list of subscribers but, as rule, he
has not a list of readers. They don't
want it and, naturally, don't read it..
We believe in conducting newspaper
on business principles. We try our best
to make it worth what we charge for it
while We appreciate patronage as highly
as anybody We do not propose to induce
a single individual to subscribe against
his will.
