THr LAa LIMIT.

In a recent issue of The Leavenworth Times, a physician 'who has made a study of the effects and peculiarities of length on the various phases and results of the habit For example. he argues that one thousand thorough drunks dur ing a lifetime is about the limit of safety for the ordinary man, and that those who go beyond that limit are talk ing long chances. We think most people will agree with him, and will also admit satisfy any man who isn't of an unus- ually greedy disposition. And we might go further and assert that there are nu- merous gOOd-1aen who manage to live comfortably without approaching the limit. For that matter, there are many who live long and useful lives without getting drunk even once, and don't feel that they have lost anything very indis- pensible to human happiness.
 There is one paragraph in this physi- clans letter, however, which is likely to be disputed by those who contend that liquors are never of any benefit to humanity. He says:
 There is, a temperance hospital in Lon don, where the patients are never allow ed to take any liquor as a stimulant in the case of illness. Yet the death rate in this hospital is far greater than in the others where champagne and other wines and liquors are given in various cases. as. for example, in typhoid fever and pneumonia, where 1t is necessary to resort to artificial stimulation. I refer to this to show that when properly ad- Ministered liquor is highly valuable.
 Of course. neither this expression of the physician nor this comment is in- tended as a defence of intemperance, or as taking issue with the advocates of total abstinence. It is only alluded to as an evidence that there are times and oc- casions when a stimulant is not only ad- Nsable, but really necessary. in the opin- Son of those in position to judge

It appears from a statement made by Chi.
cago publishing firm hat Opie Read, the nov
elist, has missed his calling, however success
full he may have been or may yet be as a story
writer. 1t is alleged by the publishers that in
July, 1897, they employed Mr.: Read to write
two novels a year for six years. In payment
he was to receive regular salary Of $40 week
and 10 per cent royalty on the novels.
This arrangement continued until July, 1901,
when, it is declared, Mt. Read 'sowed the firm
four novels aud had overdrawn his account to
the extent of $1,000"
If the statement of the publistersis true, Mr..

literature. A man who can display such 6nan.

Now THAT the subject of taxation is up, the
valuation for taxation of railroads may be of
interest. It was for the state last year, $3.50
per mile, which is only small per cent of the
amount for which they are mortgaged or of the
watered stock upon which the people pay inter
est and dividends. The valuation in Kansas is
lower than in almost any other state. 1t is
$11,43o per mile in Missouri. Based on their
earning power, upon what they are able to
mortgage them for, or what their owner values
them at for any other purposes than taxation,
they pay less than one.half their just share
