artesian wells In Nebraska, but they are
most successful in the northeastern part OF
the state, where there 1t now little public
land. BY the use of windmils or other
machinery, however, underground water
may be obtained for irrigation on a small
scale in central and western Nebraska The
alkali in the soil is sometimes troublesome
especially where too much water is
used, but in such cases sugar beets

A Million Acres In Kansas.
In Kansas there are only about ,O60 900
acres of vacant public land, this being but 2
per cent of the total land area, and much
smaller amount than in any other state so
far west. 1t is nearly all in the western end of
the state, the eastern half having only few
thousand acres of public land all told, and
of poor quality The vacant land is for the
most part broken or rough grazing land,
though some agricultural land is reported.
The principal streams of western Kansas
are the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers in the
south, the headwaters and tributaries Of the
Republican and Solomon in the north, and
between these the Smoky Hill river and its
tributary, the Saline. Especially in the eX-
treme west where irrigation Is nose neces-
sary, the streams are either very small or
often dry during the summer, and hence are
OF little value to agriculture without a sys-
TEN of storage. 1t is evident that water
must be obtained very largely from under
ground by means OF pumps, which are al
ready in use in many places, being driven
either by wind or by gasoline or steam en-
gines. The underground water is usually
found near the surface and seems to be ex
tremery abundant; and in the southwestern
part OF the state, especially in Meade and
Hamilton counties, there are many success
full artesian wells. 1t is probable that this
underground supply will ultimately be used
throughout western Kansas to irrigate
small area on each farm. Mr.. Robert Hay,
chief geoogist of the United States artesan
and underfow investigation, estimated that
the underhow in this part Of the state was
sufficient to irrigate from five to twenty
acres in each quarter section, while Mr.. w.
G. Russell, an assistant photographer for
the United States geological survey in charge
Of the Kansas measuring stations, refes
upon the rivers to water about twenty eight
acres to a section. The president of the
State Board of Irrigation Survey and Expert
ment estimates that altogether about one
sixth OF western Kansas Is irrigable; Prof
Haworth OF the Kansas State university
calculates that from all sources more than
half the total area of the state can be irri-
gated. Mr.. Newel's estimate allows moth
ing for Kansas, so that whatever area is
found to be irrigable must be added to his
total of "A 100000 acres.

A DRINK OF BRANDY.
BY CY WARMAN.

Oh the Yankees!" said the gray ma
jor, shaking his hand that was dripping
with blood. He had just ordered a retreat
and the dust-colored column was retreating
sullenly. The major had fought at the front
coming up, cheering his men on to the
charge, but now. going back, he blushed not
to be seen at the rear. He sat his horse
going down the valley with an expression
of bitter disappointment upon his face, and
hatred for his triumphant adversary filling
his breast He glanced back up the gentle
slope, down which his men had charged
awhile ago, and saw them toling UP the
hill again, bearing their dead and wounded
and staining the stones with their young
blood.
The column of blue was steadily advanc-
ing. At the head rode the blue general who
had turned the flank of the grays as tin
sword turns when driven against a stone
wall.
oh the Yankees" was all the gray
major could say, and then driving the
spurs into the flanks Of his horse he GAL
loped away after his command. AT the top
Of the hill he halted his shattered band and
offered battle, for the hill was hard to climb
and he hoped to punish the blue general as
he came on. Seeing the great advantage
they held, the gray column took new cour-
age and fought desperately. Steadily for
ward the blue general led his men, drunk
with the thought of a victory that was
three-fourths gained. Many there were
who went down that slope, but the rest
pushed on and up until the gray column be-
gan to waver. The desperate but thoroughly
beaten men looked appealingly to the gray
major and at last seeing the utter hope.
lessness OF further resistance, he ordered
aonther retreat. Now, at the foot of the
hill, the dauntless leader sat gazing with
mingled hatred and admiration at the stout
figure at the head of the blues. And as he
looked a bullet came whrring I'D the hill
and pierced the breast of the gray major.
He sank upon the neck of his faithful horse
and then rolled helplessly to the earth.
The blue general, having paused with his
field glass to his face, saw the brave major
fall, but when he reached the summit OF
the hill he observed that the officer had
fallen little to one side of the road his
good horse remaining where the rider had
gone down.
Summoning his own surgeon the general
bade him, ,see what could be done for his
fallen foe. The doctor dismounted and ex-
amined the wounded man. He lifted the
majors head. Oh the Yankees" said
the major
Don't swear" said the doctor, and then
the major opened his eyes and gazed about
His glance rested upon the kindly face Of the
blue general and he Immediately extended
his hand. The blue general dismounted and
gave his hand to the unfortunate major,
and some words of commentator for his
bravery. Then he gave the major some
very fine brandy, and the major being of the
south knew that 1t was fine and was very

IL is noticeable this season, observes the
New York Sun, that in the majority OF the
new bicycles the spokes are not tied Riders
who have been in the habit of having
wheels in which the spokes are tied in pairs
by soldering or a piece OF wire sometimes
show disposition to shy away from those
in which tho spokes are not clasped two by
two because they do not understand. They
fancy that the wheel may not be as strong
when the spokes are left free. This is a
mistake for the question Of tying or not
tying the spokes has been a mooted one
with mechanics and makers for years, the
field being equally divided for a time, and
the appearance of the majority of wheels
with spokes united means only that the
greater number have gradually been con-
verted to the belief that the wheels are
better so. The actual difference to the rider
would never be known to him unless he was
posted and something occurred In the way
of accident to point out the difference. The
argument in favor of tying the spokes has
been that it increased the stiffness OF the
wheel and 1t rendered 1t less likely to be
twisted out of true in turning the wheel
on a sandy road but stiff wheel has Its
disadvantages, and those who leave the
spokes free ridicule the idea OF making
stiff wheel in which the spokes will break
instead of springing.

grateful to the general for It, and for the
attention Of the blue surgeon.
Good bye" said the general, mounting
II must hurry on"
Goodbye, my gallant general. Good luck
to you-but-d-n the Yankees"

Just thirty years later the blue general
was made commander Of the United States
soldiers stationed at San Antonio, Tex.
He had grown gray in the service Of his
country and the gentle woman who had he
gun in her girlhood to be a soldiers wife
had grown gray beside him. Their children
were men and women making places for
themselves in the world and presenting
them with interesting grandchildren.
In little while the hero Of Grassy Hill
and the charming woman who had walked
through a score and a half of years at his
side, won the hearts Of the people of Texas,
which had been of the south. but was now

is neither north nor south
Many men who had fought against the
blue general had come to know him per-
sonally and to respect him. II now and
then they brooded over the past they blessed
the blue general and all his house.
One day while the generals grandchildren
were driving in pony cart, horse draw
ing a delivery wagon, got away from the
driver and went flying down the street.
The boys in the pony cart were turning
slowly, their cart hanging crosswise of the
street. They were talking and laughing,
utterly unconscious of the danger they
were in. A man who wore a slouch hat
and had about him the air of an army Of
fcer, saw the horse coming down the street
and saw the danger the children were in.
Without moments hesitation he put
himself in the middle of the road, between
the children and the runaway horse.
The horse seemed to be blind with fright,
but as he neared the man he swerved
slightly, so that the wagon missed the cart,
but it caught the man and rolled him over
and over in the dusty road.
The general, who was walking in the
avenue, saw it all and hurried to the man.

"Oh, don't mention it, general" said the

Buffalo Is noted bicycle town. Every
summer day on which there Is no rain
from $4,000 to $4,000 wheels are ridden.
Every day on which the rain falls steadily
from morning to evening the re-
ceipts Of the street car lines are in
creased from $500 to $1,000. There is one
wheel to every eight men, women and chill
dren, including the poorest Poles and
Italians. The wheel is the common means
of locomotion for 100, 900 persons, so dealers
in bicycles figure.
There are about 180 dealers in bicycles and
sundries, nearly 100 repair shops and nearly
100 small shops and stores in which bicycles
are sold exclusively. There are more men
dealing in bicycles than in drugs or bread.
More men are mending wheels than are
shoeing horses and repairing wagons and
other vehicles
Everybody rides wheel. Laborers go
to work in the morning with picks and
shovels over their shoulders while they push
the pedals. Clerks, lawyers, doctors, busi-
ness men, shop men, boys and girls ride
the bicycle to and from work morning and
night and in the ordinary course of busi-
ness Doctors find them faster than
horses and less troublesome.
One of Buffalo's familiar signs that strikes
the stranger is, do not lean bicycles
against this building" Few stores or bust
ness houses are without a bicycle rack in
front for their customers and a bicycle
storeroom in the building for employees.
Bicycles are checked at the theaters and at
the churches. Those churches which do
not check wheels have a room for them and
many have been advertising in their regular
newspaper notices of services, wheels
checked free" or Free storeroom for
wheels" Some have gone so far as to ad-
yertise "Wheelmen welcome"
