PARIS. April M. Narilla is devoting
his energies to preventing the United States
from purchasing the Panama Canal. With
the view to arousing French and the world 8
opinion against such a purchase he has
taken a page in the largest French news
papers to develop his theories and put new
ife into the French Panama scheme.
In statement thus published he sets
forth the reasons for his conviction of the
utter impracticability Of the Nicaragua
Canal, and his belief that the purchase
of the Panama Canal by the United States
Is the only means by which the Americans
can realize their scheme OF an isthinian
canal
He says he docs not blame the new
Panama company for seeking a solution
in the Americanization Of the Panama
Canal, but blamcs them for not having
the civic courage to appeal first to France
and to tell their countrymen the truth.
He addds
This solution by sale to another nation.
to even so sincere and cordial u friend as
America. is a miserable one. recourse 10
which should only be had after an attempt
TO find noble solution. that is, a French
solution"
He affrms that the sale would be dis
astrous at whatever price was obtained, but
1t would be ever greater moral disaster,
"bequeathing TO our sons the heritage OF
cowardice and loss of manhood"
He announces his willingness to subscribe
2,OOO.Oo0 francs toward the completion OF
the canal and appeals to the public to fol-
low his example. lie has appealed TO
President Loubet to support the movement.

the breeze. AS soon as the flag hac
ascended to its place, the guns in
the different forts around the city
would thunder forth their morning
salute, and then the business of the
day would begin. The president
always saluted the color guard and
the officers and soldiers by raising
his hat and bowing, before he retir-
ed, The evening ceremonies were
about the same, but the bands lin
gered in fine weather for an hour or
two, playing for the crowds.
On one occasion the President,
accompanied by two general offic-
ers and the war secretary, had been
out inspecting or reviewing some
troops, and upon their return to
the White House found the main
entrance occupied for the moment
by number of small children, who,
with tiny flags in their hands, had
been "playing soldiers" in the for
bidden precinct. AS soon as they
saw the carriage stop the children
tried to scamper off, but one little
fat, chubby fellow four or five years
old stumbled and fell, and in his eff
forts to gather himself up rolled
over into mud puddle. The Presi-
dent had stopped at the sight of the
children and their Auttering flags
and stood smilingly watching them
in their efforts to get away. He
now FASTENED to assist the child out
of the mud and placed him on his
feet. After picking up the little
cap and putting 1t on the curly
head, the President said: "Now
run home, my little man, and ask
your mother to please not scold you
for falling in the mud. and that l
said your were a nice little man.
DO you know me?" The child rails
ed his big blue eyes up to the face
of the one who was SO kindly bend |
ing over him, and replied: "Oh,
you de Pres dent, all de boys know
who you is. |e's just been playin'
sogers and when 1 gets big I'se goin'
to be soger like papa" The
President raised the little cap and
patted the curly head, and was
about to lift him Up into his arms,
but the young soldier just then miss
I'd his flag, which had fallen in the
mud, and said: "Oh, I'se lost my

Heads Up!

Yes, we had rain, not very bi.
rain, except in spots, yet it rained
We thought it would, it alive.
| The corn is saved again. Precn
little left to save. There Will be,
little corn in every neighborhood but
this idea of third or quarter crop i.
all bosh. The corn won't average fl ve
bushels to the acre in five Of the best
corn counties In the state.
But what Of it? We don't have to
have corn; it would be quite convent
ent, but we can get along without it.
If the showers continue long enough
we will have abundance of late pas
ture and plenty of stock feed, out side
of grain.
If 1t clears up now and remains dry
through August, even grass and rough
ness will be scarce; but suppose it
should be; it will be the first time since
the state was invaded by the whites.
Some way out will appear. Don't get
blue. Sow turnips and hustle. II it
don't rain more than it usually does
in August the turnips will do no good.
But don't be discouraged, there will
be way open. Kansas needs a set
back occasionally. She would soon
have all the wealth of the country
were it not for these temporary checks.
Her bright escutcheon needs little
furnishing to keep us from being over
flowed by those downedsters. The
glories and prosperity of Kansas have
been sounded in their ears till they
were about all ready to abandon their
old side hill farms and migrate to the
veritabie land of promise.
This little setback will probably
keep them at home till spring, Then
we will need them. We will put
them to work to raise crop. Next
year Kansas will raise the biggest crop
ever heard Of. She will then be able
to furnish an asylum for all cOmers
and give them work and feed them on
milk and honey. This heat has been
little disagreeable at times and it
has wrought havoc with the corn but
it will prove blessing in the end.
The malaria is all fried out of every
thing. Many noxious insects are des-
troYed.- Everybody said smallpox was
bound to sweep over the country, a
regular scourge. The germs were
scattered broadcast from one end of
the country to the other. The exces-
sive heat has destroyed them and we
need not fear recurrence of the dis
ease. The typhoid fever and dyph-
liberia germs are all destroyed.
Kansas has been tried in the frey |
furnace but she will come out unscat- |
he'd and purer and better for the Or
deal, 1t will take a little closer fig
uring to winter stock than usual but
they can be kept through and next
spring the increased value will recon-
pense for all the extra expense.

be recently from the oil-fields of Tex
as, are ia Chanute for the purpose Of
speculating In oil lands. They claim
to be developers. They probably are
promoters. They ask for valuable
concessions from the city. BY the
thousands of dollars spent by the city
and by Mr.. Knapp, many of our leases
have become valuable. The city was
the pioneer in this field and risked the
peoples money to develop this terrific
ry. They were unprecedentedlY sue
cessful. They found gas in great
abundance and oil in vast quantities.
Their developments have added great
value to these leases.

on these leases. II they are simply
boomers and spectators, they should

do not want 1t Others will. We can
afford to wait little while.
There are others.
