Self ~abnegation is such a rare virtue
among modern novelists, most Of whom
seem anxious to inform the public when
they have their hair cut, that the reply
ofMr. j.. M. Barrie of Thrums to his

him to lecture to them, deserves to- be
recorded. Writing from the Garrick

When the first immigrant t:ains carry

scarcely II ycstge of civilization in that re-
gion Of the country. For ages its prairics
had been covered with 4 waving sea Of

across them. Nothing disturbed its soil

found far in advance of civilization As
early as 1929 Major Stephen H. Long
crossed that part of Kansas now known as
Marshall county in command Of an expe-
dition from Pittsburg to the Rocky noun
tains. General Fremont, on his expedi-
ton to the Rocky mountains in 1894
passed through that section of the state
and mentions in his travels several immi-
grant wagons en- route to Oregon. 1t was
in 1S47 that John Smith, the Mormon
apostle, with his band of followers from
Illinois, opened his way through this coun-
try, crossing the Big Blue river at the old
Mormon, Independence or California Cross
ing This was six miles below the present
town Of Marysville, the county sent of
Marshall county. For two years the ex-
lied Latter Day Saints passed over the trail
that led to this crossing Of the Big Blue
river. At onc time a Mormon camping
party was surrounded by Indians at this
famous spot, and all were killed. Among
the party were several elders of the Nor
mon faith, who were going to the western
home to look after the spiritual welfare OF

day some hints which he can use in u

replying to the question of what tn" effect
would be of the passage of a free coinage

impossible for tho United States Govern
ment to comply with the provision Of such
law. There are nov stored in the gov
eminent vaults 20J0))UD ounces Of silver
bullion, and calculating upon the capacity
Of the mint it would take five years or
more before the silver the government
now owns could be turned into money,
without touching an ounce of the ava.
lanche Of bulliOn that would pour IN were

Mr. Kretz thought that it would take
ten years to increase the capacity of the
mints by the erection Of additional build.
ings and putting in new machinery. In
the meantime the bullion would be nc.
cumulating in such quantities that the
