mountains; now racing down a steep delddne. Although wrapped in heavy furs and wearing thick coats of wc,1fslin that made us look almost like Esquimos, we nevertheless were heartily glad when we stepped into the warm mess room of the boundary gendarmes. There was np cutter awaiting us as we had expect ed and the military post, due to pass Wagant at 9.30 a. m., at that hour, 2:30 p. m, had not been sighted. All this was duo to the bora, the dreaded and dangerous north wind prevailing at this esason. The prospect of possibly being s1powed in in this wilderness had no charms for me and consequently at 3:SO, in a moderate snowstorm, with tlIs tfleu> niometer at below zero and tine cold wind blowing at a furious rate, we start, cd afoot down the mounitalns (Wagamj being the highest point, about 6,800 Eeet), toward Proiog, the nearest village, some nine ndles distant My companion would have much preferred staying, but I npade up my mind that it would be a rather enjoyable walk, and, as a cara van of natives was just passing. we handed them our traveling bags and pro- ceeded. The air was cold and brisk, with the wind drivimg the tiny enlow- flakes like needles into the exposed parts, but with our woHfsl1in garments ana high-cofJars rs there was mo need of exposing much more tfIan the eyes, and soon the collaboration of the brisk walk sent tfls blood tinglinlg through our veina We alad gone ondy a mile when we were met by a courier, sent to inform us that government carriage was aiw'aitins us at Prolog. This was well come e.evs indeed, as then we knew we should reaoal Livno that night. Some three miles farther down we also met

on their voluminous trousers, others sim ply permitting the air to dry them. It must be understood, however, that the washing of hands and feet in no sens5 implies cleannesS. Asfor the rest of the body, well, A1ohammed never said any thing about washing or cleaning that, and so what's the use? There is one feat ure about this uncleanliness that is par ticularly disagreeable. Their law forbids the killing of any living being except for food, and this, of course, applies to the cas5 of insects. After the abiution has been performed they again step into the.r opanken and go up the steps of the house of prayer, leaving their foot war on the platform and going bare footed upon the prayer rug or carpet, as the case may be. They kneel on both knees, lower their heads twenty of thir- fly times to the floor and offer their prayer to Allah. In about fifteen min utes all is concluded and they go to their p1ac5s of business again. This ceremony is gone through with five times a day. Each time the call is intonsd from the top of the mosque, and sometimes in a beautiful voice. The most impressive of all these calls, however, is that for evening prayer, when, with each verse the singer, or mueZzin, as he is called, hangs a colored lamp out of an arch in his tower. The view of Sarajeyo at night with sixteen lamps hung from the steeple
  Sarajevo also boast of a very beautiful Turkish bathhouse, but this is patron ized almost exclusively by the Euro pans and the better class of Moham- medans.
 More Government Studios.
 Ten days after my arrival, accompa- nied by Director Nani on a wretched rainy morning. left for Livno another Bosnian city, where government studies are in operation. We did not take the direct northern route, as I intended at least to pass through Herzegovina We therefore took the railroad to Mostar, the largest city in that country. The railroad leads through the beautiful l|a- renta valley, paralleling the river by that name all the way from where it is first seen at about three hours ride from Sarajevo. A more beautiful jour ney than this is difficult to imagine In grandeur it cannot compare with a ride through some of the canyons of Colorado 1ages, with their quaint buildings, the beautiful winding wagon road, frequent ly blasted through monstrous rocks, the ever-changing and always charming CO.'S tune of the peasants, ths caravans of native horses carrying a burden bigger than the animal itself, the camps of gypsies, vast herds of native shesp- all of these make a whole which is SO moved, so distinctly eastern, that no man can but consider it a privilege to enjoy it.
 Although the distance to Mostar is but eighty miles, 1t took us fully nine hours to make the trip, and we arrived at the Hotel Narenta att about 5:30 D. m, The

A sightseeing tour through Mostar proved most interesting, regard less of the fact that darkness was com ing fast. The narrow streets, of which one bears the proud name of "Corso." the old Roman bridges miniature dupli- cate, and above all the costume of the Mohammedan girl, in this town is totally different from that in any other place on the globe-all was full of charm.
 On to Dalmatiu.
 At the unearthly hour of $50 the next morning we again had to take the train, once more following the river to the town of Metcovitch which lies about three miles from the place where the tumultous river losses itself in the beau tiful Adriatic sea. At Metcoviteh we took small steamer, which took us to the larger one that was to carry us to Spalato, the capitol of Dalmatia. Before reaching it I had occasion to view the little towns along the river, inhabited by poor fishermen, perched on rocks of as cold a grap as imagination can con-

The houses were built of the same rocks, presenting such a succession of desolate scenes that even the old. worn-out and neglected fisher- boats appeared by contrast like so many flowers in a green mea dow. The trip took up the entire day, the weather was beautiful, the sun shining brightly, and,

A number of farmers living in Deca.

tion for the purpose of damming the
draws and retaining much of the sur

ty leading farmers signed the agree

agree to construct or assist in constrct-
ing reservoirs for the purpose of hold.
ing water, by building dams acoss
draws or otherwise on our respective
farms the ensuing year"
1t is intended to put one or two dams
on every quarter section of land. The
men have pledged to do this, and are
ali in earnest. Work will begin at once
so that the ponds may be ready to re-
ceive the early summer rains. 1t will
not be difficult matter to construct
the dams as the mouths of the draws
need only to be filed up properly.
The action of these few farmers have
started others to thinking, aud it is
possible the plan will be followed in
other parts of the county.-Russell

TheY'r Coming Back To Kansas.

They're comm back to Kansas,
they're a crossin' on the bridge; you
can see their mover wagons on the top
of every ridge. On the highways and
the turnpikes you can hear their wag-
ons hum. for they're comin' back to
Kadsas, and they're comm on the run.
Who's comm back to Kansas? Why
the migratory crowd who left the state
some months ago with curses long and
loud; and they sWore by the Eternal
that they never would return TO this
Kansas land Internal where the hot
winds blast and burn; where the rivers
run in riot when they want it to be
dry, where the sun so iercely scorches
when they want a cloudy sky. So
they loaded up the children anc they
whistIed TO the dogs; tied COW behind
the wagon, to the butcher sold the
hogs; hitched the ponies to the schoon-
er, turned her PROV towards the east,
left this beastly state of Kansas for a
land of fat and feat. Did they find
it? Naw-they didn't. though they
rOamed the country DER from the lakes
up in the northland to the far off
ocean shore; and they found that other
sections had their tales of woe to sing,
so they're humpin' now for Kansas, at
the breaking forth of spring. Harmon
