The late Baron Faber, the pencil
manufacturer, once said OF the article
which had made him rich: sit has
done more execution since it came into
use than the sword, while who can En-
umerate the libels it has written?"
The mere act of living is getting more
complicated every year. Even bathing
has become dangerous, for unless the

keep his mouth tightly closed while in
the water?
Someone has discovered that sun

causes people to freeze to death IN

the physical anatomy that has been
struck by lightning and the bacillOs
that plays havoc with persons who are
run over by railway trains can be
hunted up and identified later.
According to the report of the inter

killed for every 2,3I6,64S carried and
one injured for every I39,740 carried,

Topeka Notes in Kansas City Times:
When the state board Of railroad com
missiOners received the proof of the
new railroad map, Jim Fike discovered
that the lines representing the various
railroads were all wide except that of
the Rock Island, which was very mar
row Now the Rock Island is Mr. Fixes
favOTite railroad so he made a great
roar about it and the board ordered
the map publishing company to widen
the Rock Island line. The 10000 maps
ordered came the other day, but the
error had not been corrected. The
Rock Island still has the worst Of il, so
far as the width Of the lines is concern
ed Fike wants to hold up the map
cOmpany's pay.

Kansans in Oklahoma.

Kansas people worry great deal be-
cause their state does not grow in
population, and wonder what the rea-
son is. It is easy to find the reason,
relates the Kansas City Times. Every
person who makes a pilgrimage to Ok
lahOma knows Why Kansas shows up
poorly in the census reports. Three
times Kansas contributed of her pOpu-
lation to settle the unoceupied lands
OF Oklahoma. There was the original
opening of Oklahoma Investigation
revealed the fact that half the claim
holders we're Kansans. Then came the
Cherokee strip opening, and men from
Kansas made a majority Of the popula-
ton of the new country. Now comes
the opening of the Kiowa, Comanche,
Wichita and Caddo reservations.
which draws heavily for people from
the Sunf1ower state.
''The loss to Kansas is Oklahoma's
gain, not only in population, but in the
character of citizenship. 1t is said
that 50 per cent of the men who have
settled in Oklahoma since the first
opening we're under 80 years of age
when they made The move. Young
men with all the requirements Of life
except money have seen an opportuni-
ty to secure homes in a new country
aud left Kansas for that purpose. They
are the men who have made Oklahoma
and the Cherokee strip TO blossom as
the rose, and builded fine cities. They
are the men who viii make a garden
spot Of the Comanehe country.
When there are no more lands to
"OPen," then the youth of Kansas viii
be compelled to remain at home and
fight for way out among their elders.
Then Kansas viii grow and develop in
population, as it has done in agricul
tuTe, stock raising, manufacturing and
mining.

The mayor and council have taken
out the levy CT six mills made at their
meeting last week for interest on out
standing warrants. As it stood it
made the levy in Goodland % mills as
against 751z for last year, and when
the council saw that taxes would be so
extremely high they decided to cut out
the six mills for interest on outstand-
ing warrants, which viii leave the levy
in the city at Sc mills, certainly high
enough. From legal standpoint the
six mills would have been unlawfully
levied, for the statutes provide that q
tax cannot be assessed for interest on
warrants when there are no outstand-
ing warrants when the levy is made
All GOodland city warrants are paid
upon presentation, hence the inability
to lawfully make the levy.

Schen drove ont south Of the railroad
track and when the dog saw the buggy
be started toward it, but before he got

Live stock farming.

Some men can make a success with
cattle who do not seem to be suited for
getting the best results from growing
and fattening hogs.
One man will make good mutton and
wool and get good average prices while
another viii make a miserable failure
Of handling sheep-in fact some men
dislike the woody tribe so much that
they cannot see a sheep without
hating it.
The man who loves horses is very
apt to know, or easily learn, how to
successfully handle them.
Still other men prefer to raise and
sell grain and think they cannot sue
coed with any kind Of live stock except
an old family COW or 50 and few pigs
to eat the kitchen swill.
It is prominently an age Of special
izatioD, an age when men are more aud
more combining their work to what they
do best.
Very naturally a man does not love
what he cannot do well.
1t often happens that through the
error Of making q bad start and acting
upon wrong advice a man who, with
reasonable care, could make q success
viii do the opposite. In such cases it
is not unusual for one to lay the blame
where it does not belong and quit the
line Of business in disgust. To be sure
man who is so unreasonable and
short sighted as to draw conclusions
from single instances is apt to make a
failure at anything, but there is always
some one thing which even the most
unreasOning man will find that he can
do best.
There are "ranch kings" and "bonan-
"a wheat farmers" There are small
farmers who do not pretend to raise
anything but grain, and others who
raise grain only to feed it on the place
and buy thousands of bushels from
neighbOrs.
As a general rule the men who are
engaged in live stock farming Of some
kind are the men who can afford to
hire help in the house as we'll as in the
fields; men who can keep good rigs,
have good houses, plenty of books, and
who are able to give the children a
fair education.
Farmers who refuse to raise any
kind Of live stock don't always have
the biggest mortgages to raise but
when they do have them they are sOrely
pressed.
The men who go into live stock care
fully and intelligently, using brains
and pro6ting by the advice aud expert
ence of men who do succeed, sometimes
have big mortgages to lift, but they are
the ones who can lift them, and when
lifted they are in shape to go forward
and do larger and better business.
The man who feeds his hay and grain
and roots has the advantage Of having
products to market that are always in
demand for cash no matter how times
may be and his lands year by year
grow stronger and more fertile.
The average exclusive grain farmer
is growing relatively poorer and the
average stock farmer is growing more
prosperous.
This is in accordance with the views
OF such men as Prof ". A Henry, Of
Wisconsin, Prof EuRent Davenport, Of
Illinois, Secretary Of Agriculture vii

A 10th CENTURY LOVE LETTER
Extracts Prom 1t Might Prove InFalu-
able to Lovers Not Tersed In Letter
Writing.

Writing.
The following letter, which, it is
claimed, was picked up on the streets
of GoodIand, was handed TIE REPUBLIC
for publication. 1t is evidently a sam
pie Of a love letter Of the century style
and can perhaps be used to advantage
by some OF the young people who are
not we'll versed in the art Of love letter
writing:
"My Dear Mr.. B.: Every time
L think of you, my heart jumps up and
down like a churn-dasher; sensations
of exquisite joy eaper over it like
young goats on a stable roof. As a
goslin swimmeth with delight in
mud puddle, so swim in a sea Of glory.
Visions Of eestatic rapture, thicker
than the hairs Of a blacking brush,
visit me in my slumbers, and are borne
to me on invisible wings. Your image
stands before me, and I reach out to
grasp il like q pointer swapping at
blue bottle fly. When I ponder upon
your angelic projections, am Devil
a humble bee under a glass tumbIer,
and I lift up mine ears to hear the
silYery accents or your dear voice. Day
and night you are in my thoughts.
When the jaybirds pipe their tuneful
lay in the rose bush By the back door
steps; when the striking of the old
town clock heralds the coming morn;
when the awakening pig riseth from
his bed and grunteth and goeth forth
to seek his morning refreshments, I
think of thee, and like i piece Of gum
elastic, my heart seems stretched clear
across my bosom. Your eyes are glOTi-
Gus to behold, and in their liquid
depths l see legiOns Of little cupids,
bathing like a cohOrt of ants in an old
army cracker. Your nose is from a
chunk of Parian marble, and your
mouth is puckered with sweetness;
your laugh fingers in my ears like the
bleat Of a stray lamb on a bleak hill
side, and the dimples in your cheeks
.are like hOlloEs in cakes of homemade
sugar. am dying to fly to thy pres
ance and pour out the burning eIo-
quence of my love as a thrifty house
keeper pours out hot coffee. Away
from you, am as melancholy as a sick
rat. Sometimes 1 can hear the June
bugs of dependency buzzing in my
ears, and feel the cold lizards Of de-
spsir crawling down my back. My
soul is pierced with doubts, as an old
cheese is bored with shippers; as a
mean pup bankers after new milk, so I
long for thee. You are fairer than a
speckled pullet-sweetert than Yankee
dOughnut fried in sorghum moIasses.
"If these few remarks shall enable
you to see the inside of my soul, and
me to win your affections, shall be as
happy as a stage horse in a green pas
ture. If you cannot reciprocate my
thrilling passion, viii pine away like
poisoned bed bug, and in the coming
years when the shadows grow from the
hills, and the philosophical frog sings
his cheerful evening hymn, you, happy
in anOther's love, can come and drop a
tear, and-catch cold on the last rest
ing place of Yours affectionately,-
&C."
