The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-02-27

Kansas is the center of uncertainty in
weather In this country. In the heart,
OF the continent it is the subject to all
of the caprices of heat and cold. 1t is
a curious fact too that that state has
produced more political and social
freaks than any other in the country.
1t is said that we are all creatures of
our environment 1t is possible that
the weather has something to do with
\ creating sensational individuals among
the population of that state Perhaps
I some of the Chicago university profess
sors might take time to solve the prob
lem as to whether weather produced
freakishness. Since the turbulent days of
John Brown to the present there has
scarcely been a year that Kansas has not
furnished a sensation of national inter-
est. The reigning surprise at this time
is the antics of a Mrs. Nation in Smash

other rich girls of New York have en-

building of cyclone cellars or caves is
mostly confined to localities which have
suffered from these whirling terrorS or
the air. It is a pretty well established
fact that no community has suffered
twice by visitations from these circiinS
storms, and it would seem that these
places of refuge should be built where
the terror has not been. Anxiety or
fear seems an inheritance of man;
Its always round and about
Impossible to drive out;
On getting up and going to bed,

Life is different to differ ent men, So,
too, is the enjoyment of life. One be-
lieves In and takes physical enjoyment
in athletics: another takes his pleasure In
study, reading singing, art. One in
dulges In food and drink, and will sacri-
flee much, everything, for his appetite.
Another man devotes his effort and
means to qualification of his intellect.
Some can eat no sweet and some can
eat no sour. And Burns says:
''Some haze meat that Gamma eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we haze meat, and we can eat,
Sac let the Lord be thankit.
The young man whose untimely death
has been the reigning sensation in our
sister city for some time, is said to have
been the recipient Of SIS day for spend

money-about twice the average weekly
wage of the American working man-was
wisely spent; it was not:
Abundance is a blessing to the wise;
The use of riches in discretion lies;

The idea that the street cars are run
for the benefit of the public is quite an
antiquated one. To try and get aboard

you wildly come to the conclusion that
your conveyance is a money-making ma
