On the WHOLE war is a pleasant pas
time to contemplate. The French are
training bicycle soldiers, and they have
become very skillful. Uneasy at this,
the Germans. ate meeting it by training
also bicyclists for their army and going
likewise a step. beyond They train
huge Great Dane dogs to spring out and
catch bicyclists by. the throat. The dogs
are taught to discriminate between the
different uniforms So as not to seize
any men wearing the German dress.
Men clad in French soldier costume SO
padded that the dogs cannot hurt them,
are made to be the proper prey of the
huge beasts, which in time come to un-
derstand the distinction perfectly. This
beautifully illustrates the much vaunted
merciful conduct of war in the nine.

There is q tradition that yellow fever
originated in the horrible Spanish slave
ships which centuries ago lanJed Afri-
can captiyes at Havana. The filth
was SO unspeakable and the condition
OF tho slaveships SO frightful that
there broke out among them the cpl
demic which has since been known as
yellow fever. The bay Of Havana was a
cesspool for the vessels and it is to this
day a cesspool for the~~whole city of
Havana. Storms and winds stir up the
reeklng bottom Of the bay, and it's poi
sonous stencil is driven to the Florida

There is, not SO much politics borne on
Kansas breezes this fall as usually there
is The reason for it may perhaps be
gathered from a late news item to the
effect that a Kansas farmer had lost q
$500 diamond in his wheatfeld When
farmer is making money enough to
buy a $500 diamond, he has not time
for politics
The wheat crop of the grasshopper
state was an immense one. Valuable as
it was, however, the live stock market
ed in the state this year promises to be
still more SO. The reason that tdroughty
Kansas was covered with mort
cages and then deserted 15 years ago
was because the right crop for the semi
arid parts Of the state had not been dis
covered. The western end Of the state
was never intended for agriculture, but
it will raise a crop far moro valuable
than grain. This is live stock. In
western Kansas there have been during
the past summer 300, 900 beeves fatten-

is to ship the cattle from the hot re-
glons OF the southwest in early summer
and finish them off for market on the
pastures Of cooler Kansas. The scheme
has worked proftably both to the Tex
ans and others who rear the calves and
to the Kansas grazier who buys them for
fattening. One young man cleared $780,
900 i'll six months in western Kansas by
fattening beeves for market. He will
not go to the Klondike at present. s@>. I.
In one month, August, the Kansas
City stockyards received from Kansas
alone 1873, 900 cattle. The hogs and
sheep marketed at the same yards from
Kansas during the same time brought
the number Of food animals received
and sold there for August up to
300, 307. Of course many thousands
went to Chicago and other points.
The climate Of Kansas is such that,
with. the alfalfa crop which grows so
luxuriantly, the food animals need to
be housed and fed only two months Of
the year. This gives the grazier in that
locality a great advantage over the
stock man farther north From present
indications the God forsaken, mortgage
plastered, poverty stricken, droughty re-
glon Of western Kansas will in the i'm
mediate future bacome one Of the rich
est sections of this Union. We shall see
what effect this will have on the pol
itics of the state.

Ruined Greece.

& 4 : . :
Mr.. Henry Norman, the London
Chronicles famous correspondent f11r.
nishes to Scribner' S Magazine striking
paper on '.The Wreck Of Greece. J So
far as is apparent Greece is at the bot.
tom round Of the ladder Of nations.
crushed, humiliated, ruined, with the
foot of Europe upon her neck. Mean.
while the Turk is in high feather, inso.
lent, confident and fuller Of wickedness

tury. .
. What the future will be Mr.. Normal
does not undertake to say. He asks
whether the present wreck will be the
end of the dream Of united Hellenic
kingdom, and he does not answer.
Are the Greeks really, after all that
has been done for them, after all thei1
talk of nation repeating the glories oil
the ancient one-are they only a race
OF degenerate mongrels, incapable Of
self government, incapable of steady
purpose and high aims as patriots, in.
capable Of learning lesson from defeat
and humiliation or even Of being deeply
impressed by disaster? Who knows
Norman says friend writes him from
Athens that even the national disgrace
>. does not seem to be taken seriously tc
heart.
The hopes of really thoughtful Greeks
are very low, as low as the finances Of
the kingdom. 1.-THE national vice Of
windy enthusiasm for great ends, com.
zbined with unwillingness to perform
the solid labors by which alone these
can be secured, has at last brought de-.
spair into'the hearts Of the best Greeks
at home and abroad y "a windy en-.
thusiasm for great ends,'' combined
with unwillingness to perform the wlo1k
necessary to reach such aims, is what is
the trouble with millions of private in.
dividuals as well as some nations
Mr.. Norman believes that Constan
tine, the crown prince Of Greece, would
prove himself a thoroughly capable
man If he had the chance. But he did
not have it during the war; he does moi
have it now. The condition of the
Greeks would not be hopeless if they
themselves were not just what they are,
people whose capacity for government
appears to be limited to oratory and in
trigue.

Who Are the Happy !?
Millions of people are happy and

Millions of people are happy and
don't know it.
A majority Of civilized mankind reg
ularly have nourishing, palatable food,
at least moderately good health, a safe,
comfortable shelter and facilities for
taking bath. They have, besides, books
and periodicals to read, churches, thea
ters and lectures to attend and now and
then a social function that suits their
taste, whether it be a church oyster
supper Or giddy dance.
Startling misfortunes, dreadful acci-
dents, irreparable losses Or long and ter
/rible illnesses do not often happen to
the individual. They may at long in
tervals, but even here nature is SO kind
ly and loving that she provides for the
gradual wearing away of even the most
terrible grief, the recovering from even
overwhelming loss, if = person has
pluck enough to t., the strings into
his hands again.
What, then, is there for the average
person to be unhappy over? Nothing,
absolutely. The misery, the foolish
hanlerings, the dumps and the blues
we make for ourselves, out Of our own
imagination. "I've had lots O troubles,
lots O. troubles, - said the old farmer
on his deathbed, sand most a. 'em
never happened. -
The person who has good health and
a comfortable home is therefore a very
happy man. He has no right to be 9th
erwise He may aspire and should as
pire always to higher and better things,
or whatever he thinks are higher and
better things. But to sit down and fret
and whine and grow bilious because
we have not already what we want is
not aspiring; it is going down into the
swamps. What we want we have facul-
ties within us for gaining. The pleasant,
healthy pursuit of rightful aim or OBJ
ject Or ambition is in itself a happiness.
The race has progressed from barbarism
to civilization, SO far as it is yet civil
ized-that is, by striving after develop
ment and possessions it had not. It will
still go on becoming finer and higher
through all eternity, obtaining new in
tellectual and other possessions for itself.
Whatever right thing you want, go to
work and get it and be haprS while
you are striving for it as we'll as after
you have it.
There is positive happiness in every
moment of life ordinarily, happiness
man in his ingratitude thinks little Of
1t is time we walked to the knowledge
OF it. Who are the happy? Everybody
is happy.

The topics discussed at the national
conference Of American mayors and
councilmen are of good portent for the
country. At first glance an outsider
could scarcely see any reason why the
nations mayors and cOuncilmen should
want to meet and talk together beyond
natural and pardonable desire to en-
JOY g pleasant recreation "trip, but such
an impression would be very mistaken
one. The mayors and councilmen at
their meeting discussed matters per-
tanning to the good government Of a
city. The papers read by. distinguished
experts on street cleaning and other
subjects Of vital interest cannot fail to
bear fruit. Professor Peckham told these
municipal rulers how to make a good
asphalt pavement. Not long since Car
ter Harrison, the young mayor Of Chi
cago made journey to New York es-
pecially to witness the method Of street
cleaning which has transformed the big
city by the sea into one Of the cleanest
in the world. His observations cannot
fail to help Chicago Mayors and coun-
cilmen who are worthy the name learn
from each other and from experts what
methods are beneficial. The whole field
OF city government morality, street
lighting, sanitation, public education,
ownership Of public franchises comes
within the scope of such an organization.
