THE LAND or THE LAZY.

The land of the lazy is "some time" land,
Its boundaries all are after awhile
It's citizens wear the ''mean to" brand.
And going to garments are all the style
Ia the land of the lazy they want to get
just as much as the tOilers do,
And then it they don't they fume and fret
And gTumble about "fate's favored few"
In the land of the lazy ambition dies,
For 1t cannot live in untended soil.
And ITS bright twin, progress, straightway flies
Away, away, to the town of toll.
In the land of the lazy you and
Is matter of course have never been;
But, tell you what. we had best look spFy,
Or before we know it We II enter in.

THE BAND CONCERT.

The Date of the Fourth Concert Fixed
for the goth.
The Goodland Military band will
give their fourth monthly concert,
Tuesday evening, Aug. %, at the opera
house.
On account of the poor patronage
bestowed upon their last effort May "a
it was decided to abandon the dates
for June and July. Since the bands
last public appearance a new tuba has
been bought and added to the instru-
mentatiOn and other expenses have
been incurred which leaves the finan-
Cial balance on the wrong side of the
ledger, and the members hope to see
their friends and acquaintance turn
out in gOodly numbers to help them
"Out of the hole"
1t has been very difficult matter to
keep the band together during the last
| two years, owing to the depressed con-
ditiOn of business and consequent de-
parture of many Of the members. The
survivors feel that they are entitled to
the support of the public, especially as
not one penny of the bands receipts
ever finds Judgment in the pocket of
! the individual members, and the price
of admission has been made so low
that anyone can afford to attend and
never miss the small amount emitting
him to seat. The programme will be
found fully equal to any heretofore
given, which, the boys feel some pride
in stating, few country bands are able
to render Come out and bring 'yOur
sisters, your cousins and your aunts."
If you have none of your own, buckle
onto some other fellows.
The hand has been in constant prac-
tiCe for some time and the coming con-
cert promises to be even better than
its charming predecessors.

The Attorney General Demands That the Pro-
hibitoTy Law Be Enfogssd.
This Action win work a Hardship Upon
the City and Probably Lead to an De-
euPation Tax aud an Increase In Water
Rates to Make Up Lost Income.

Attorney General Dawes threw his
search light on Goodland this week,
and was shocked to find that there we're
q few retreats here whereat the thirsty
could ease their parched and cotton
lined threats, aud the respondent
their trouble drown in the flowing and
fOaming bowl. This discovery was
quickly followed by ordersto the county
attorney to have them closed, which
vas done Tuesday.
This has been expected for some time
as GOodland was along with the bal
ance Of Kansas larger cities in the
matter of replenshing the municipal
.exchequer by imposing an assessment
upon its watering places, and it is in
these towns only that the astute at
torney demands that the prohibit0ry
law be enforced.
The closing of these places, however,
means considerable to GOOdIand. as
the revenue obtained from them went
long ways toward defraying the city's
expenses. The amount which the city
viii be deprived of will probably be
made up by an occupation tax leVied
by the city council and an increase in
water rates.
While the people and officials of
Goodland are strictly law-abiding, it is
an admitted fact that prohibition has
always been a failure as far as this city
Is concerned, for as soon as the Joints
are closed liquor is purchased of deal
ers outside the state and shipped in to
supply the wants of the thirsty.
The attorney general has the law on
his side, and, although it means many

WILL FORCE The PAYMENT
The State University Fund Must Be Extend
ed on the Tax Rolls.
County OHicials Who Refuse viii Have
sIandsmOus Proceedings Entered Asinst
Them-sherman COuntY's Quota WIN
Amount 10 $296.03.

A good many counties, owing to a
misunderstanding of the opinion of
Attorney General Dawes in the matter
pertaining to the current university
fund, refused to make the lew for the
purpose Of raising the proportion of
the fund apportioned to them.
Mr.. Dawes holds that the legislature
had made the appropriation and the
state board of equalization having ap-
portioned the amount of taxes to be
raised for the purpose of providing the
university with money for current ex-
penses; that it is the duty of county
clerks to extend the tax on the rolls of
the county and to proceed to its conec-
ton, and that in counties where the ex-
tension is not made, mandamus pro-
ceedings will be instituted in the SUI
preme court to compel it.
The trouble rose from the legislature
making the appropriation, but neglect
ing to make the levy for its collection,
and a good many counties believe that
they have no authority to make the
levy for the collection of the sum
assessed against them.
Sherman c0unty's quota is S296.93,
which the commissioners will probably
make arrangements for paying. The
money is TO be used for a good cause
and should be paid by all counties
cheerfullY, even though there be a
doubt as to the legality of its col
lection.

THE GIRLS WE KNOW.
They Do Not Turn Toward Their Moth
erS Like In OIden Times.

Let any one of us, for example, look
among the girls of our acquaintance
and see how many we know who, as
daughters, turn to their mothers as
readily and as naturally as turns a
flower to the sun, writes w. Box. How
many do we know? Here and there,
one, yes. But are they in the majority?
We rather find that the average Amer
lean daughter is absolutely independ-'
ent of her mother in all but those
things in which she must, Of very Nc
cessity and Of her very being, be de-
pendent upon her. By far the majority
Of mothers have not the confidence of
their daughters, and one needs only to
be in any position which invites human
confidence to know how true Is such a
statement. The English girl looks to
her mother for counsel and guidance
on every point in her life. Does the
American girl? The life Of French
girl always remains a part of the being
which bore her. Does that Of the
American girl! Inc Italian glris lie
is known to her mother almost as we'll
even in its most inner thought, as to
the girl herself. Is that of the AmerI
can girl? The gospel of the Swiss girl
is that Of solicitation for her mother,
morning, noon and night. Is it the
gospel of the American girl? The Dutch
girl never dreams of telling her mother
that she is going to do thus and so: she
asks If she may. Does the American
girl? In Germany, the daughters first
thought, when she reaches proper
years, is to relieve her mother Of every
domestic care and thought. Is it the
thought of the American girl? Is there
need that I, or any writer, shall supply
the answers to these questions?

ABOUT WOMEN OF NOTE.

The wife of Prince Leopold of SAKE
Coburg Is the daughter Of Jewish mu-
slcian and the niece Of Queen Victoria.
Princess de Polignac, formerly Win
marietta Singer, daughter Of the great
sewing machine man. is said to be the
best amateur musician In Paris.
Gall Hamilton was once a teacher in a
girls seminary, and was the idol Of her
pupils. She was very cheerful, sensible
and clear-headed in all things.
Chile claims to possess the richest
woman in the world In the person OF
Sonora de Cousino, whose fortune is es-
tlmated at 5000, 100000. She is a widow
Queen Victoria has such a deep-root-
ed objection to the smell Of a cigarette
or a cigar that smoking is strictly for
hidden at Windsor Castle, at Balmoral
and at Osborne.
Emily Faithful combined her work
for the cause of women with love for
strong cigars, Of which she was an in
veterate smoker. She took the tobacco
at first to relieve her asthma.

peared in Battersea Park mounted on

Of Connaught, being yet a learner, pre-
fers to take her daily practice for the

THE BABY ON THE FARM.
To Romp and Play with the Little Ones
Religious Duty.

heugiOus Duty
Even If the baby's coming interferes
with all sorts of thrifty plans to help
the husband pay off the mortgage on
the farm, an acute fnancier once gave
large sum of money to endow a col
lege upon the ground that he consid-
cred boys a better investment than
land, writes Helen Jay in the Ladies'
Home Journal. In the childless home
the money may come in more quickly
than 1t goes out until the whole farm
is paid for, but what does it profit If
there are none of our own to enjoy 1t
with us, and no one to receive it as
sacred inheritance when we are gone?
AS a class, farmers wives identify
themselves more closely with their hus-
bands financial interests than any
other class Of women. They are will
ing to work hard and sacrifice them
selves to help to buy home and to edu-
cate their children. They feel that
If they cannot earn money they can at
least save it. 1t becomes a problem
sometimes how to steer between legiti-
mate thrift on the one hand and unnec-
essary economy on the other. Sometimes
a woman works so hard in trying to
increase the bank account that she
ruins, not only her physical health, but
her disposition as we'll. A nervous,
WORKOUT, fretful woman is not a fit as
sociate, even on hyglenic grounds, for a
sensitive, impressionable child, who re-
fleets the passing moods Of those about
him as in looking-glass. If it is a
question then of bank accounts, inn
maculate closets and well-filled store
rooms on the one hand, and bright,
cheerful mother on the other, would
unhesitatingly choose the latter. The
children whose mothers have not time
to pet them are to be pited. To amuse
the baby and to romp with it is some
times quite as much a religious duty
as to pray for 1t.

From Avon Park, Fla, comes an or
lginal idea for ending dull times. The
editor of its weekly Idea, quoting the
magical phrase Of 1878, THE way to re-
sumo is to resume" asks his readers,
and through them the whole country, to
unite on Revival Day." say August
81, by which time let those with idle
money decide into which of the many
promising channels they shall turn it
loose" Let every dollar possible on
this day be put into circulation; see how
many debts can be paid; how maay new
enterprises started, and how much
business consummated. The impetus
thus given, he believes, will put an end
20 hard times.
