The rowels of natures most powerful

the TANKS of the primitive community,
says the Monist. The apostles scath-
ing arraignment of the Cretans, whose
god is their belly" would literally ap-

a civilized one. Hunger is one of the
mainsprings of progress. At its i'm
perative command the fintwas Clipped
into the arrow head, the dart, the spear.
In its honor the net was woven, the hoe
was made and the soil broken. To ap-
pease its cravings the wild bull is
broken to the yoke, the forests are
fclled, the ditch is dug through the
marsh. .
On its errands the ship is launched
on the perilous deep and the band sent
out upon the war path. Into its service
have been impressed the winds of
heaven, the steam wreaths of the cal

flow Of the human stream and the
march of the "star of empire" have been
at the behest of its genii. Whether it
be born of a barren soil and cruel sky
or of the pressure of oyerpopulation, it
has played a leading partin molding the
destinies of the nations.
In the fall of every world empire from
Assyria to Rome the conquering race
has invariably come from the noun
famous or barren land, or from stern
er sky.
And still to-day the nations of the
bleakest belt of the temperate zone,
where the struggle with soil and cli-
mate is severest, the Scotch, the Eng
lish, the Dutch and the North Germans,
are overrunning the whole of the in
habitable globe and bid fair to far out
do Alexander by more peaceable and
far more stable means.

IN A KANSAS TOWN.
Differs from other American villages
in Many Respects.

Differs from other American villages
in Many Respects.
Chiefly by reason of its newness and
of a certain cosmopolitan aspect the
Kansas town differs from villages else
where in the United States and presents
@ few interesting variations from the
common type, says Atlantic. The
largest town in the commonwealth has
hardly 10000 inhabitants. Most of the
county seats in the eastern half of the
state, where the rainfall is copious and
where crops are bountiful and regular,
contain about 5000 persons each. The
county seat is in the strictest sense
country town The inhabitants live al
most entirely upon the tributary coun-
try. There are no factories. The
money that the farmers of the county
spend for food, clothing, fuel and the
comforts of the farm home is the cash
capital upon which the town does its
business. This capital is passed from
the grocers to the clothing merchants,
to the druggists, to the furniture deal
ers, to the hardware sellers and to pro-
men. In the older commune
ties of the eastern and middle states
necessity has developed factories,
which convert raw material into fin
ished products, and money from the
outside world comes in. But Kansas is
yet hardly a generation old, and it has
not entered the manufacturing era of
industry,

SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Miss Stein Changes Her Programme
 Sale of Single Seats This Morning,
 The sale of single seats for the Sym phony concert on Thursday afternoon will begin at the Hyperion this morn ing at o'clock, The prices for single seats are 30 and 75 cents and $1, The sale of course tickets has far exceeded all expectations and everything looks forward to a particularly brilliant sea- son,
 Miss Stein at the urgent request of some of the Symphony patrons, has kindly consented to change her part of the programme and will sing Bemberg's $ beautiful Jeanne d'Arc" aria instead of the Samson and Delilah." The Bemberg aria is a great dramatic scene, which Miss Stein always sings with tre- mendous fire and enthusiasm. AL though the Samson and Delilah" aria is very beautiful it will undoubtedly be more interesting to hear the Jeanne d Arc" number
 Miss Stein's many friends and admir- CTS in this city are reminded once more that this is the last opportunity to hear her before her departure for Europe to be absent three years. Her absence means a serious loss to this country be- cause she undoubtedly stands as the foremost American contralto of the day.
