California even today, are not beyond
from the original founders. When
the wealth first came up to them out
of the ground and rose about them
in golden flood, they were simple
folk, of frugal habit, temperance and
industry. But with money came new
needs; with wealth wants swarmed
around them, like bees about bed
of roses, and all their schemes of life
were changed. The happiness Of the
olden time was dissipated. Content
ed competence was driven out by dis
contented wealth. And the new
tastes and new desires for ostenta-
ton, which wealth suggested, began
at once to gnaw upon their ambition.
Hence we see the castles built in San
Francisco upon Knob Hill out of
famous fortunes which fate formula
ted for men of low browed pedigree
in a single day, and going into sub
urbs, like Palo Alto, we find palaces
of ostentatious architecture located
amidst beautiful trees and Towering
shrubs of exquisite fragrance. But
they are locked up and silent and ten
antless. The Flood mansion which is
Of wood, in imitation of marble, is
the most elaborate and vast of any
of the monuments to unhappy wealth
in this section of California. 1t is
also the most typical. 1t is so be-
cause it is a pretense, an imitation
marble. Thus it is a reflex of pre-
tended taste, pretended culture and
pretended character for intelligence
and good breeding. Like many others
this glaring and vulgar display of
dollars easily and quickly acquired,
is giving shelter and comfort to no
one. The man who accidentally got
money, and from sheer love of show
built it, is dead. His family are
scattered. 1t would cost two hund-
red thousand dollars year to run
and care for the establishment and
grounds and none of the family has
that income to bestow in that man.

strated between the years Of 1854,
when The Conservative first contem-
plated life and the possibility of a
permanent home on these prairies,
and the year 1874, the existence of
two kinds of distinct classes of pio-
neers in staying qualities.
The first class and the smallest in
number came to make permanent
homes and to become part of the po-
litical, financial and social fabric of
state.
The second came to quickly make
some money out Of the frontier, and
return to the old homes in the
East. This class was majority
over the first 1t favored every artific-
ial means of forcing material develop
ment. 1t proposed and voted the evil
dences of public debt-in the form
of precinct, city and county bonds
to private corporations. 1t was al
ways ready to vote debts and obliga-
tions upon posterity And being in
majority it created nearly all the
interest bearing debts now owed by
any part of Kansas or Nebraska.
The transients made the debts.
They led the populace; they de-
nounced all opposition as old fogy
The permanents, the solid home
builders who were so characterized
are now paying the debts then Gre
ated.
When we settle in another new
country we shall straightway find out
who come to remain and who come to
speculate and return. Only those

The creamerleS themselves make
butter. They are producers of original
butter. B n e
Process Butter. creameries also buy
all sorts of country
butter from farmers and from store
keepers for revision and amendment.
These very philanthropic and entirely
unselfish factories purchase butter
which on account of age and decay has
lost all of it's friends and take it into
their hospitable plants for treatment as
aged and homeless human beings are
taken to hospitals for restoration. Once
within the comfortable conveniences of
the creamery the afflicted rancid and

cesses) of general appearance of
youthful and healthy butter
The acids and other agencies used to
rehabilitate decadent butter are not
known to many outside the esoteric few
of the creamery guild. But that aged,
infirm and very loud smelling butter
sometimes goes into creameries and
comes out smiling like June and sweet
as a rose everybody knows. This is
called process butter, and no tax is pro-
posed for it by those dear gentlemen
who are so perturbed because of the
fear that oleomargarine may destroy
the delicate membranes of the human
stomachs which take it in. Of course

youth and edibility the most malodor-
Gus butter cannot, with all it's acids,

human organism.
The recent raid upon Congress in be-

Governor Hoard of
Wisconsin, was most daring and in
trepid, illustrative of a patriotism as
pure as process butter and as unselfish
as his own constant and affectionate
solicitude for the composite digestion of
the concrete stomach of our beloved
country. The raid demands ten cents
a pound tax ON all butter substitutes
which look like butter. That tax is
wanted badly. 1t will break down COM
peting substitutes and raise the price of
butter. BY legislation it is sought to
build up butter and bust up oleomarga-
rine. Many members of the so-called
National Congress of Farmers seek to
plow with preambles, cultivate with
resolutions and reap and garner by
enactment.

Dress For q Girl.

Dainty frocks with many tucks are
as much in style for little girls as for
their elders. The charming little May
Manton model illustrated in the large
drawing is suited to many materials,
and has the merit of being childish
and simple at the same time that it is
effective in the extreme. The original
is of fine. sheer null with Valencien-
nes lace threaded with narrow black
velvet ribbon; but lawn. batiste and
all the long list of white and cOlored
washable fabrics might be substituted
or any one of the simple silks and
woods.
The waist is tucked to yoke depth
and falls in soft folds below, and the
novel sleeves show tucked caps that
harmonize to nicely. The skirt is
simply straight gathered at the waist.
and can be made with the flounce or
plain as preferred. The trimming of
lace insertion is applied to form Van
Dyke points and to cross the yoke
in becoming fashion.

years of age, eight and quarter yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
five and quarter yards twenty-seven
inches wide, four and half yards

yards of insertion and two pieces of
