cellent people in Kansas, people
who would reflect credit upon
any land or cline. Some of them
are dead, and the remainder
haven't money enough to move.
A fairer land never drank in the
midnight dew or warmed beneath
the fructifying kisses of the god
of day. 1t will produce anything,
from an adult cyclone to Nor
mon elder. The Kansas people
are incarnation of industry, the
avater of energy; but they are
poor as the skeleton of Famine,
or Patagonians conception of
poverty. This is. because the
average citizen of that common
wealth expends all his nervo-
muscular resources attending to
everybody's business but his
own. Kansas is the country of
the crank, the abiding place of
the professional reformer The
Kansan is full of the idea that he
idea that he is his brothers.
keeper, and cannot rest content
until he has him under lock and
key. When he isn't passing a
law intended to improve the
health and heavenly hope of his
neighbor, attending female
suffrage convention or explain
ing what he doesn't know about
the currency question, he's try
ing TO stake out a witness fee by
playing the spy that he may
turn informer. You can't shove
wire through any keyhole in
Kansas without putting out the
eye of an he-angel. The Kansan
is born with areligious bellyache
OF which he never gets rid until
he goes down to the grave. He
is prominently powerful in
prayer and his amen fairly drips
with JUNCTION; but you can't trust
him in horse trade. He mag
ines that those who are not so
meddlesome and miserable as
himself are foredoomed to hell.
The Kansan is a Prohibitionist,
not because he loves water, but
because others like wine. He is
willing to make a slop-tub of his
stomach to prevent q fellow NOR
tai enjoying himself. He prefers
straight bourbon to mean whis-
key "bitters;" but he can keep
inebriated on the latter while
posing as temperance apostle,
and cant is the breath of his
nostrils, hypocrisy the fragrance
of his heart. Some of the Kan
sas papers are complaining that,
despite a generous influx of
home-seekers, the state is in
creasing but slowly in popula-
ton. That is probably because
those who settle in Kansas catch
the meddler's itch, peculiar to
that commonwealth, and are
thenceforth too busy to propa-
gate. 1t may be that this dag
nosis is incorrect, that there is
something in the Kansas atmos.

Gene. The women are the poll
tical bosses of Kansas, and the
man who presumes to cast a bal
lot without first submitting it to
his better-half for approval is
regarded as dangerous innova-
Tor and debarred from select
society. While guilty of no
crime against the moral code,
he is called STRONG minded"
and considered too cross for one
of the gentler sex. The legisla-
ture is now considering law
making it misdemeanor for an
adult male to appear on the
streets after shutdown unless ac-
com panied by female chaper-
one. Every considerable Kan
sas town has an institution,
known as the Josephean, for the
reclamation Of men who have
been led astray by designing
women.
