WHAT WILL CENSUS SHOW7
Gains Expected, Notwithstanding

It is believed by some who nave given
attention to the matter Of the census
taking in this city Inat while there has
been quite an increase of population dur
ing the year, the census now being taken
VIII not show a very large. if any, gain
over last year. The reason given for this
conclusion is ----- there mas been quite a
large territory set outside the city dur
ing the year Just passed. The law allow
ing sections Of the city to go before the
district court and make appAcatiOn to be
set outside the city limits has reduced
the territory of Wichita to a considerable
extent. Judge Barrett, VINO is taking the
census in the Fifth ward, says unere are
several hundred people in that ward now
outside the city limits that were counted
in the enumeration las year. he re
ferred to one tract of land that had been
set out that had eleven houses on IL. This
matter has PROBABLY been overlooked by
some Of the people who have been claim
ingthat the census this year would show
a gain of 1900 over tnat of last year.

The Two Sides of II.

There was girl who always said
Her fate was very hard;
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was debarred.
There always was a cloudy spot 81
Somewhere within her sky:
Nothing was ever quite just right,
She used to say, and sigh.
And yet her sister, strange to say,
Whose lot was quite the same,
Found something pleasant for herself
In every day that came.
OF course, things tangled up some
times
For just little while;
But nothing ever stayed all wrong,
She used to say, and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled
Through all their lives together;
1t didn't come from luck or fate,
From clear or cloudy weather.
The reason lay within their hearts,
And colored all outside;
One chose to hope, and one to nope,
And so they smiled and sighed
