ing editorial defense of western cities in
general and Kansas City in particular
People will know what Kansas City
is by the time the newspapers get
through. AT present there is dense
ignorance in the east. The New York
Sun makes 1t out to be one of the
half-horse, half-alligator towns that
properly belonged some years ago to
the southwest. It says that it is a
bourbon stronghold, when the fact is
that for the last six years it has been
strongly republican. Kansas City is a
city. There is none of the rude and
primitive features about the city that
are drawn from the imagination of the
Sun ~ list. Except in the matter of
morals, it Is as much a city as New
York. population being considered.
They have no Seeley dinner with
Little Egypt trimmings in Kansas

band, and married against the law to
the man who made the divorce neces-
sary, to lead the fashions.

The Meaning Of the Thistle.

Do you know why the thistle is the
national iiowcr in Scotland? The story
IS pretty one, and very characteris-
tic Of the Scotch. It is said that CEN
turies ago the Danes were making al
inroad into Scotland. They were ad-
vancing cautiously at night. But, un-
fortunately, they were barefooted.
They had got close to the Scotch camp,
when one OF the men at the head Of
their column stepped on thistle.
Did you ever put down your foot
squarely upon real Scotch thistle?
# you have, you will not be surprised
to hear that that man gave a scream of
pain. His scream awakened the
Scotch. They sprang up, perceiving
their enemies, fell upon them and de-
feated them. And the brave little
thistle was made the Scotch flower.

Wtat Finger Nails Ten.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now, the shape
and appearance of the finger nails
were considered to have reference to
ones destiny. TO learn the message
of the finger. nails it was necessary to
RIB them over with a compound Of
wax and SCOT, and then to hold them
so that the sunlight fell fully on them.
Then on the horny, transparent sub
stance certain signs and characters
were supposed to appear, from which
the future could be interpreted.
Persons, too. having certain kinds Of
nails were credited with the possession
Of certain characteristics. Thus man
with red an9sSpotted nails was sup
posed to havSS hot temper, while pale,
lead colorcd nails were considered to
denote melancholy temperament.
Narrow nails were supposed 70 betray
ambition ana a quarrelsoA nature,
while round shaped nails were tle dis
tinguishing marks of lovers CO knowl-

Connected, narrow minded and obsti-
nate folks were supposed to have small
nails, indolent people 1eshy nails and

The Beers Aim Low.

It is the testimony of all the CORE
spondents at the front that the Beers
have knack Of hitting our men about
the legs and lower part Of the body.
The fact is brought startlingly into
prominence by tie enumeration Of the
wounds received by 800 officers and
men treated by the field hospital with
General Hart's brigade. OF the whole
only ef?ht~ received shell wounds: the
others were hit by Mauser bullets. sew
enty-six in the upper extremity, and
us in the lower extremity. 1t is little
consolation 10 know that the wounds
"were humane in the extreme" they
were small, and there was very little
hemorrhagc. So that the number Of
men totally disabled may in the end
prove to be comparatively small. The
practice Of the Beers seems to be to
aim low, no doubt with the object Of
taking advantage Of ricochet shots,
which are accountable for good deal
Of the peculiar mischief done to our
troop
