would go after them If they lived In
bandbox. The others can stay away.
The three unmarried girls are Kath-
crime, Margaret and Sarah, bnt they are
nlcknamed by their friends Katie, Mag
gle and Sadie.
Katie is next TO Mollie. She Is
pleasant-faced girl of about 80. Her &C
complishments are by no means con-
fined to the grossly useful. And while
she can superintend the shoeing of
horse, beat up the lightest biscuits or
iron a shirt bosom until it rivals the
product of a John Chinaman, she can
also play the piano and speak German.
Maggie comes next to Katie. She is
decidedly good looking girl of 81. She,
too, can be ornamental as well as use
full. She sings in a very good, clear
mezzo soprano voice. Besides, she is
the dressmaker for the family. And
that is saying good deal, for the Doris
girls are the arbiters of fashion for that
part of the town
Sadie is the youngest, the brightest,
the prettie st, and, as her sisters say af-
fectionately, "the least useful of the
lot" She is IS years of age, but looks
younger. She is very light of foot in a
dance. There is always a rivalry among
her numerous beaus to secure ner as a
partner at party.
During the recent fire Sadie was
ready TO risk her life TO save that of a
pet dog. All of her sisters had been
safely carried over an improvised
bridge to place out of danger, when
Saoie's turn came. She would not
bulge without her dog Prince, and
some precious minutes were lost calling
for it. 1t didn't come, and finally a
neighbor dragged Miss Sadie away by
main force. She would have waited
long had she tarried for Prince. He
was afterward found in the snop, burned
to death.
The little frame house in which the
four girls live is surprise to those who
enter 1t. To enter it one must pass
through the blacksmith shop. The stairs
from the bright, sunny kitchen lead into
the parlor. 1t is large, decidedly well
furnished room ana not at all the sort
of parlor one would expect to find in
the rear of blacksmith shop. At one
end stands an excellent plano piled up
with music. On the walls hang some
very pretty pictures. Everywhere is
the evidence of prosperity, thanks to
the little blacksmith shop just outside.
1t was an ambition of John Doris and
his wife TO educate their daughters be-
yond their station. 1t is a rare instance
in which doing so has not succeeded in
making the children look down upon
their parents. But these girls speak of
their parents with almost a feeling of
reverent gratitude. They fully realize
that the many economies which their
parents exercised have made them com
paratively Independent. And the man
who marries one of them will not only
get mighty good wife, but one with a
very comfortable dot besides.
They own the little house and they
will probably live in it until they all
marry and increasing families make it
too small Some day, when the husband
of one of the girls insists upon his wife
having her share it will probably be
sold. Then James Doris name, which
still hangs over the dc or, will be taken
down. And the reason he always gave
that he regretted his children were all
daughters will be verified.

Critical Period for the wheat orop

TOPEKA, Kan, April 0.--In two-thirds
of the state the wheat crop is in need
of rain. Scattering reports come in
from different parts of this state every
day, and they all show that rain is
needed badly in the western half of
Kansas. A gentleman who returned to-
day from northwestern Kansas says the
crop needs rain from Manhattan west.
Another who has been through the
southwest says the ground In the Arkan-
sas is very dry and the plant, though
green, will be badly damaged If rain
does not come within the next ten days.
Just now Is the most critical time for
the wheat crop. With rains during the
next week great many fields will be
revived in the west and the plant
started on a new growth.
