THE DONEGAL GIRL
IFrom Good Words.l

In Donegal there is a custom of engag-
ing both farm hands and servants for six
months at hiring fairs, the girls receiving
board and only a low wage because their
ignorance hitherto has made them only
fit for the toughest work.
1t is, however, more astonishing that
girls from these poor little homes should
know anything at all about service than
that they should be, some of course
are, bad servants Their own homes have
mud floors windows that do not open, no
stairs. hardly any kitchen utensils, no
range, the cooking scarcely extends be-
yond boiling potatoes and cooking griddle
cake, how can they know even the names,
still less the uses of the thousand and one
things in our houses2 How learn to scrub,
or sweep, or dust? Yet given a short
training (not too late in life and good
example, there is not a servant the world
over to compare with a good Irish SER
want. She has a heart which is wholly
given to her mistress. she never degener-
ates into a mere machine, and she may be
trusted to cling even closer in times Of
trouble, sickness or poverty than when all
goes smoothly.

men less, and both Republicans and
Populists take the papers representing
both sides of the political question.
Kansas is not gaining much in popu-
lation. It is growing steadily but slow
ly. 1t will in a few years be back where
1t was at the height of the boom, after
which it lost quarter of a million peo-
pie. The immigra ton that is noted is
mostly from nearby commonwealth,
and is composed of well-to-do farmers
and merchants who come to invest and
stay.
1t is estimated by most of the towns
in the eastern two-thirds of the state
that residents of the community own 80
per cent of the real estate. A few years
ago the percentage was not more than
fifty. Some western Kansas counties
are practically owned in the east, resi-
dents possessing not more than 20 per
cent. A common item in the local pa
pers of the small towns reads something
like this:
Blank Brothers have purchased the
meat market, and now every store and
shop on Main street is owned by the firm
that occupies it.
1t shows that the people take a pride
in being a part of Kansas, in having
landed interests here, and sharing the
ups and downs as if there were no other
place to go. They intend to stay, and
do not intend to '.go back east to the
wife's folks,'' as was the common talk
in the early days. This accounts to
large extent for the good feeling and
the hberalizing process in politics.
With all its talk about being self-suff-
Gent, Kansas needs the investment of
eastern capital. 1t has refunded $6.000,
600 worth of county and municipal
bonds in the past two years, cutting
down the interest about 1 per cent. All
this is eastern money, and all of 1t is
drawing interest from the Kansas farms.
Nearly every town is seeking to make
Roadway in manufacturing at some
kind, and wants eastern capital to assist
in the process To induce this there
must be confidence in Kansas 1egisla-
ton and treatment of capital. In the
past the bark of Populism has been
worse than its bite, but the latent threat
that turks in its free silver, Socialistic
platforms is always alarming.

The following readable review of the
Kansas situation appearing in a recent

the merchants have increased their sales

farmers-who are the basis of all wealth
and business in Kansas. Yet it is not
satisfactory to the Populists, and they
are endeavor1ng to prove it to the voters
that POpulism should be successful at
the polls because the farmer is not get
