OF DAYS OLD AND NEW.
Rev. Dr., Haithcox Gives Some Of His
Past and Present Experiences.

For the Reflector
COLUMBIA CRY, Ind. August g.
Several friends have wondered why
did not reflect something Of myself
through you upon them and the
regions round about them. have
hesitated because Kansas is bright
land, so bright that my reflections
might not appear to eyes adjusted to
SO great brightness. At last ven
ture and II | can scintillate a ray or
two that will make one eye sparkle,
one face smile bright smile, and
one heart beat with little more hope
and joy | shall be glad.
l. And first, | remember that |
found Kansas dry, hot, cornless,
dusty, "tattered and torn" and with
faith and dim hope for "next year"
Next year came, five next years, and
Kansas had waxed fat much like
Jeshurun. Then went and left the
sunhower in full bloom. | am glad
that with my coming and tarrying
prosperity came to Kansas with pros
pect of permanent abiding: 1t is
pleasant to think of having been an
atom in the current which lifted
Kansas so high on the tide which
taken at its flow makes men and
states great.
2. When ! came to Indiana there
was no prospect of wheat harvest,
but the farmer has had his hopes
frightened and has gathered nearly a
third Of a crop. His oats were never
better, and his corn is superb. The
fruit trees and vines and briars yield
their gifts in abundance. The clear
watered lakes and rivers sport with
with the fnny tribes which can be
had for the catching. The squirrels
bound among the branches Of the
trees and chatter for joy when the
gunner is not too near. The quail
calls "bob white" over the fence in
the fields. Over pastures verdant
and rich loiter grazing herds sleek
and fat. The rains have been album
liant, the sunshine has been warm
out not too warm. The summer has
been almost an ideal one here. Twice
he clouds withheld their treasures,
'nce for ten days and once for eleven,
ust long enough for the plowman to
ret his corn clean and then to gather
me Of the best oat crops that ever
rev in this country. For ten days
he sun run the mercury up to 90
4 the highest point and this morn
ng the cloud refreshed us and at I
loon the mercury rested without
weating at 80. We are all refreshed ,
nd glad. Well done for Indiana.
