EXTREME BAsHFULNEss.

Senator Sebastian of Tennessee
tells the following story: when l
was young was the most bashful
boy west of the Alleghanies. l
wouldn't look at girl, much less
speak to a maiden, but for all that
l fell desperately in love with n
sweet, beautiful neighbor girl. 1t

sides, and the old folks saw the
drift and fixed it up. | thought !

was gawky, awkward country lout
about 10 years old. She was an
intelligent, refined and fairly well
educated girl, in country and at a
time when the girls had superior
advantage, and were. therefore.
superior in culture to the boys. /
fixed the day as far off as 1 could
have it put. l lay awake in cold
Precipitation as the time drew near
and shivered with agony as l
thought of the terrible ordeal. The
dreadful day came. IwentAhrough
with the programme somehow in IA
dazed, confused, mechanical sort of
way. The guests, one by one, de-
parted, and my hair began to stand
on end. felt like fleeing TO the
woods, spending the night in the
barn, leaving for the West never To
return. l was deeply devoted TO
Sally. l loved her harder than n
mule cal kick, but that dreadful
ordeal could not, l dared not
stand il.
FINALLY the last guest had gone,
the bride retired, the family gone
to bed, and / was left with the old
man. John, said he, you can take
that candle; you will find your
room just above this. Good night,
John, and may the Lord have mercy
on your SOUL and with a mischie,-
Gus twinkle of his eye the old man
left the room. When / heard him
close a distant door staggered to
my feet and sliced the candle with
nervous grip. l knew that ii
could not be avoided, yet 1 hest

preparations without, blow out the
light, open the door, and friendly
darkness would at least mitigate
the horror of the situation. 1t was
soon done. Preparations for retir-
ing were few and simple in their
character in Hickman, altogether
consisting of disrobing. The
dreadful moment had come; was
ready. Iblew out the light grasped
the doorkuob with a deathly and a
nervous grip; one moment and Il

East Vt the two big rivers that go
meandering down through this ma
ton from north to south, every bale
full insect, every cranky idea and all
kinds of bad weather are labeled
with the name of Kansas. For in
stance, visitor from Illinois said
to us the other day: ayes, we are
having regular Kansas drouth in
Illinois; the streams and wells are
all dry. no rain has fallen to amount
to anything for twelve months and
the hot winds are blowing just like
they do In Kansas. To cap IL all
what corn we are growing is being
destroyed by Kansas chinch bugs"
Then the Inter.Ocean speaks of
"kansas chiggers," and frequently
the phrases "Kansas grasshoppers'
and kansas winds" are heard. If
heavy storm comes up it is called
a kansas Storm" and many people
seem 10 believe that Kansas is the
home of everything vile and annoy.
ing in nature; that If bugs, grass
hoppers, storms or droughts APP
pear elsewhere, Kansas turned them
loose. Those eastern tenderfeet
seem to look upon this state as
being the original Pandora's box,
filed with all manner of curses for
mankind, and that every once in Il
while the lid is lifted and the rest
of the universe is cursed thereby.
This outlandish nonsense is be-
lieved by many, too, in spite of
statistics carefully and honestly
prepared placing this state i'll the
very front rank of agriculture
states. and showing II is to be one
of the greatest mineral states in
the union. The writer is growing
very weary of this tendency of the
wilfully ignorant people east
and west of us. In Colorado, even,
the same conditions prevail. Its
as much as mans peace of mind
is worth when out there to acknowl.
edge that he is from Kansas. They
pursue him with venomous scot

And yet one-half the population Of
Colorado would have to leave the
state il it wasn't for the supplies
raised for them on the fertile Kan
sas plains. The same is true of
many parts of the east. They feed
on Kansas flour, Kansas meats, Kan.

vegetables--but will not own il

sas papers. imbibe Kansas ideas
and are elevated and educated
thereby. The fact is Kansas has
been blessing and not a curse, to
this nation. and the sooner those
people beyond her borders recog.
nize and acknowledge that fact and
stop their jealous and devilish
insinuations about the fairest star
in the nations galaxy, the better
off theywill be, for Kansas will then
be able to pour out her generous
gifts upon them more lavishly.
