ICES scaRs.

They say thu world is -0tnd, and Jet
1 often think - square;
So many little hurts We get
From Cornsrs here and there.
But one great truth IN life I've found,
While iOumeying TO the west;
The only folks We really wound
Are those We love the best.
The man you thoroughly dispise
Can rouse your wrath, tbs true;
Annoyance IN your heart VII rise
AT things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing Ills,
This rule all lives VIII prove
The ranking wound which aches and thrills
Is dealt By hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace
Are oft 20 strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frOWning face
Are given 10 our own.
We hatter those we scarcely know
We please the heeting guest;
And deal fun many a thOughtiess blow
To those we love the best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom
Alas for those who only see
This cut across the tomb
But, soon or late, the fact grows plain
To all through Sorrows test;
The only folks who give Us pain
Are those we love the best.

KANSAS day, Monday January ., the
anniversary Of the admission Of the
state into the union in 1851, was Oh
served at the GOOdland high school
with an appropriate program, and all
over the state fitting exercises were
held commemOrating the event. Thirty
nine years ago Kansas took her place
IN the constellation Of the union and
ever since has been a bright particular
star. This then young state furnished
more soldiers for the union cause in
the civil war than she had voters and
the per cent Of killed and wounded
Kansas volunteers was greater than
that Of any other state.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.

Il had some very peculiar experiences
out IN the vest while was connected
with the postofice department" said
gentleman who was swapping reminiS-
cences with a friend. s.and heard some
interesting stories from men who were
employed on the star routes as carriers.
When I was in the service, railroads
were not built all over the country and
a great deal Of the mail was carried by
stages or star route There was one
route that went out from Santa E'e and
was very long one. The service was
performed once q week as 1t took that
length OF time to make the round trip.
A man named Robinson had suitcase
on the contract and did the work him
self. He was an eastern man who had
gone to that country for his health. as
he only had one lung and that would
not pump air for him in the east He
had a blackboard and a team of ponies
which he drove and the work was ex-
actly what he wanted-plenty of out
door life and yet not hard work The
route he covered was through some
mighty lonesome places and was dan
gerous in those days, although he never
had any serious trouble There was one
thing on his route that gave him cause
for worry, but he got over that in time
About SO miles out from Santa Fe the
route led through a mountain pass and
near this pass lived an insane half
breed The insane man was not violent,
but he was insane and a man in that
condition IS not pleasant to meet in
town. to say nothing of a lonesome
mountain pass miles away from any
habita ion When Robinson first met
the man he was greatly frightened, but
after talking with him awhile he came
TO the conclusion that he was a harm
less imbecile- He gave the imbecile a
circular he happened to have in his
pocket and told him it was a letter for
him This delighted the poor fellow and
every trip after that Robinson would
give him an old circular which he was
careful TO put in his pocket before start
ing out He said that the man never
failed TO meet him and ask for his let
ter Sometimes be would give Robinson
game or furs when he would meet him,

SANTA FE MAY GET 1T.
Now Competitor of Southern Pacific
For Fast Mail Business.

OfHcials of the western railroads are
giving some attention to probable
effect upon the fast mail service from
Chicago to the Pacific slope that may
be brought about by the entrance OF
the Santa Fe road into San Francisco.
This service is in the hands Of the South
ern Pacific now. While the trains are
nornfnaIly fast mail trains, their sched-
ule is little more than 25 miles an hour.
This condition could not be improved
while that road had monopoly OF the
business. but now that competitor has
entered the field railroad men are of the
opinion that the Southern Pacific may
have to give the fast mail trains to the
Santa Fe.
The carrying Of this mail Is branch
of the business which a road is DESTROYS
of keeping. as it is generally considered
an evidence of recognition of good ser
vice on the part of the government II
is believed that the advent of the Santa
Fe into California will result in shorter
time between Ogden and the coast
