The improvement in wheat condi-
tons in central Kansas in the past
week has been marvellous. The heavy
winds which drifted the fields and
made 1t seem certain that much grain
must be plowed up have been follow
ed by the best rains in ten months
and experienced farmers consider the
wheat outlook the best in several
years. The plant Is not large but Is
very even and sturdy and is growing
rapidly. Spring crops and fruit are
also promising well. Everything
indicates that this country will wear
diamonds next fall.

were mainly educated In the country school
and where In the wide world would you find
a finer set Of men and women?-[ Atchison

II the country school is mot ap-
preciated" we would like to know
what the Champion calls apprecia-
ton. Is there anything talked about
SO much throughout the county
as the SCHOOL, The teacher and bis
work, bis troubles and successes, his
plans and performances are the theme
Of every supper table while the hir-
Ing Of the teacher is Of an Importance
second only to the election Of presi-
dent. The country school is appreci-
ated all right. 1t is the country
teacher who needs a little more ap-
probation and better wages that
better results may be obtained.

They are going out from Kansas,
they are going in the cars; they have
hitched their little wagon to the
smoothest sort Of stars; they have
sold their smiling homesteads in this
barren land Of drouth, they are going
out from Kansas to the wetness Of the
souSh. And their pockets now are
bullying, for they've sold of all their
goods, and they'll blow their little
fortune in the damp and mouldy
woods, where the swamps are full OF
serpents, the mosquitoes full Of tunes,
and the climate full Of ague and the
people full of prunes. They are 60
ing of from Kansas, they are going
of in style, and the emigration agents
will absorb their little pile.
They'll be coming back to Kansas
when year or two has flown; we
shall know that they're approaching
when we hear them weep and groan;
they'll be coming back to Kansas,
and they'll all be aecked with flies;
they'll be coming on the hog train,
they'll be coming on the ties; they'll
be coming sore and needy, full OF
oaths and woe, and bile, and they
won't look like the farmers who are
going now in style; and the fatted
calves won't perish to relieve their
doletul dumps, for the calves are not
intended to refresh a race Of chumps.
Still the wise men face the music
and they stay right where they are,
and do not hitch wagons to an ''immi-
grafton" star; for they know that old
Kansas has reputation to maintain;
and 1--WE mention this in passing)
there are signs Of coming rain.

While but little has been done in
the transaction Of business in any Of

A strong opposition is shown in
Paris to the proposed exposition Of
the year 1900, and not based alone on
the protest Of the provinces against
being called on to contribute to a
great show that makes business dull
with them. Some Of the Parisians
say the exhibition will bring in many
people who will become an embarass-
ment when it closes, and that 1t will
also deface the avenues and parks Of
the city. Paris don't know a good
thing when it sees it.
