Somebody has figured out that
the average boy who is dependent
on his parents for a livelihood I'M
til he reaches the age of twenty one
years costs them four thousand dol
lars. On this basis of calculation a
brood, for instance, of six boys will
represent an outlay of twenty-four
thousand dollars by the time they
all get away from the home roost.
The question naturally arised, does
it pay to raise boys and are there no
other crops that would prove more
profitable? If boy turns out to be
a cigarette iend with breath like a
turkey buzzard, and a laugh that
would make the wild and untutored
donkey feel perfectly at home in his
presence, and an unconquerable and
untrameled desire to avoid work, it
is safe to say that the parent might
have invested his four thousand dol
lars to better advantage. But if the
boy grows up to manhood with the
lesson we'll learned that wealth and
success grow only Oh the bushes
that are watered by the sweat of
ones own brow the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have spent
on him. -Sedgewick Paragraph.
We learn from clipping from a
western paper sent us by J. w. Mar
latt, of Rozell, Pawnee county, Kan
sas, that the wheat crop of that state
is estimated at seventy-eight million
bushels for this year, and the in
crease in acreage in Pawnee county
was 13o, 900 in 1899. The estimate
is made that if threshing machine
threshirg 500 bushels a day, 900
days in a year, had begun on as
much as was produced In Kansas in
1900, when Washington left the
White House, it would not be one
third done by 1900. For one ma
chine to thresh that amount by 1900,
it would have had to begun when
Shakespeare was an eleven-year-old
lad on the streets of Stratford. If
the Kansas wheat stacks of 1000
were put end to end in size that
would thresh out seventy-five bush
els for every rod long, it would make
stack that would reach from Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, to Portland, Ore
gon, and thence northward into Brit
ISL Columbia,-Steuben On. Y. } Re

from Meade enlisted in October
1899. Out of the thirteen not one
has received scratch, and with the
exception of Pete Hotz, not one has
been confined to the hospital from
any serious sickness. This is a re-
markable record for so many from

that this may continue, and that all
of them may return to their homes
safe and in good health.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 15.-The report
that troops were to be called to Frank
fort to aid the republicans in retain
ing power in case the democrats d =
cided to seat Goebel was apparently
confirmed Sunday when Gov. Taylor
arranged by wire for the transporta-
ton of several companies of state
militia from Louisville. Lexington,
London and Pineville. 1t is thought
before the week is out the republic
an officials will be prepared to hold
their own against any effort on the
part of the democrats to run things
in Kentucky. 1t is not the plan to
have the troops move at once, but or
ders have been issued to hold them
selves in readiness to move any time.
That the situation is critical at Frank
fort there is no doubt and the re-
publicans are preparing to meet emer-
gcncies, while the Goebel democrats
are going ahead with their plans,
which are to GUST the present officials
and seat Goebel. This will be met
with strong resistance.
