of the week from his trip through
southern Kansas in the interests of the
DIR. Miles Remedy company. He was
laid up at Harper, Kansas, ten days
with the grip and will remain at home

He was in sight of the terrible cyclone
which recently caused such loss of life
and property i'll Oklahoma, the clouds
dividing and passing over and around
Harper, which some years age was
devastated by a cyclone. Capt. Watts
describes the scene as terrifying and
awful; men, women and children were
running about the streets frantic and
panic-stricken, screaming and moan
ing. In speaking of the general
condition of the country he says that
the prospects for good crops were
never better, that there has been an
abundance of rain and that whea.. is

He Does Not Hate All Englishmca, Only

Bryant Lindley met Boer and asked
the way. He received surly answer
which amounted to $50 to the devil!''
Upon this he protested angrily, and the
Boer rejoined in equal bad humor. AT
length tho Boer shouted, whats your
name anyway" and when he heard it
his manner altered mt once, and he ex-
claimed, what, and are you tho son of
the great American missionary Daniel
Lindley?" My friend gladly pleaded
guilty TO this charge, and the surly
Boer became at once the most hospitable
friend and begged forgiveness for his
rudeness. AS they rode together toward
the road which my friend was seeking
the Boer recounted with grateful salts
faction the many good deeds performed
by tho elder Lindley, but of them all
the best to him was that represented by
sound thrashing he had once received
Mt the hands Of this venerable mission

Boer i'll his youth had been sent to
school taught by Lindley; that the
Dutchnan was noted for his size and
strength and had Dragged of his capac-
lty to down the teacher, and had actu-
ally sought the opportunity by refusing
obedience. But he soon learned that he
had made gross mistake, for this par
tlcular missionary was also noted ath-
lete and gave him such hiding with
bullock whip that the young giant roar
ed for mercy before the whole school.
And for tbic CO,
Beers loved the elder Lindley, and this
particular Boer yenerated his memory.
On the evening i'll question, when tho
two men were about to part the Boer,
who had been so uncivil at first, begged
Lindley, with tears III his eyes, to grant
him great favor for the sake of his
conscience. Your father" said he,
did me service so great that can
never repay it-he gave me the worst
thrashing ever had-ho saved my char
acter, and l am n better man today,
thanks to him.
My friend cheerfully promised to
grant the request, puzZling his head as
to what was going to be required of
him. The Boer was mounted upon an
