Ih1S paper does not make a prac-
tice of blowing about the country.
We have our opinions about the
same and do not want to make east
erners believe we have a Garden of
Eden, because we have not. 1t is
true we have district of flowing
artesian wells, and also some very
productive alfalfa fields, but so far
as this being a land of milk and
honey, its only pipe dream. We
have good cattle country. This
western part of Kansas has been
settled for about twenty years and
has never been a successful farming
country; that is, for a man to devote
his entire time strictly to raising
crops. 1t is true some farmers have
raised considerable wheat for sever
al years, while others have failed
almost every year. Corn raising is
unknown in these parts. Forage
crops, such as cane, kafr corn ETC.,
seldom ever fail and this is what the
country, at the present time, is cal
culated to raise, then have plenty of
pasture for cattle. Buffalo grass is
the natural crop of the country and
until conditions change this will new
er be an exclusive farming country.
This is no place for man out of
finances to come with a family. To
those who are contemplating pitch
ing their tents in this unknown land,
we would say, bring enough money
to secure a section or two of land,
small bunch of good cattle and fix
up to take care of them, then raise
feed crops for the winter months.
In this way you will make living,
but any attempt at exclusive farm
ing, is bound to terminate in failure.

GEN. JACOB II. SMITH.
Veterans Ask for Resembling Of the Order
Retiring Him,
adquarters L. s. Grant Post, -,

Headquarters L. s. Grant Post, -.
Department of Indiana, G. A. r.,
Washington, Ind, Aug. 81, 1902.
At meeting of the above Post of this
date the following proceedings, among
other things, were had, and the following
resolution adopted. to wit:
Resolved. That we contest the action of
President Roosevelt in suspending Gen.
Jacob II. Smith, and his order in retiring
the said Gen. Jacob II. Smith from active
military services in. the L. s. Army, as
result of an irregular trial by court
martial;
That said order by the President is, first,
not in keeping with his exalted position
as President of the United States. nor is
1t in harmony with his brilliant and splen-
did record for gallantry as soldier and
citizen, or his previous fraternal spirit
shown his old comrades-in-arms;
That we believe his said order retiring
Gen. Jacob II. Smith is, under the rule of
law governing such cases, irregular, Mt
least, in this, to wit: That any penalty
imposed upon n soldier resulting from a
proper charge lodged against him for vio-
lation of military orders of superior otli-
GERS, such penalty cannot be increased by
any authority, not excepting the Presi-
dent. who, of course, has authority to re-
tire such soldier, as distinct and separate
act;
That we respectfully request that i'm
mediate steps be taken leading up to
proper relief for this comrade and at the
same time clear away the chagrin thus
heaped upon him.
Resolved, That copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent to The National Tribune for
publication. J. w. RAMSEY.

age, and it found its way to the Dead

age, and it found its way to the Dead
Letter Office.
Several wartime pictures Of Union sol
diers which became lost in the mails from
1861 to 1865 are also in possession of the
dead-letter authorities. There are also
several pictures and trinkets sent by the
boys in blue and khaki from the far-away
Philippines to relatives and friends which
miscarried, we're sent to the Dead Letter
Office, and are now on exhibition in the
Museum.
One of the most novel exhibits is love
letter written with lead-pencil on a pine
board about one foot and n half in width
by three feet long. 1t was sent postal
card fashion, the name and address of
the young lady and innumerable postage
stamps on one side and the letter on the
other. This odd billet-doux is without
name of place whence sent or date, and
reads as follows:
Board meeting to-day | have concluded
to put this letter aboard the express to
let you know the feeling that exists in me.
Indeed. since your absence l have been
constantly thinking of you, almost being
unable to attend to my regular routine of
business. Now, l cannot imagine the
cause of your protracted silence towards
one whom you always proposed to love.
You have written to Sam, also to Min
ME, and never as much as mentioned my
name. Now, was this because you did not
think of me or did you wish TO keep talk
down. Now, dearest Rip Van Winkle.
you are aware l am sincere, for have l
not proven this. l hope that no better
looking face has caught your eye, for
what is face without lucre?
Il have been boarding with your Uncle
Sam the past week, and in my dreams he
naturally became acquainted with our
whole proceedings. In anticipation of an
early reply by American Rapid,
yours until Death,
On the walls of the museum are three
large frames containing the photographs
of 60 veterans of the postal service-men
who have grown gray and feeble serv
ing the Government and the people, In
the first frame are pictures of those who
have served so years continuously. The
two other frames contain likenesses of
those who have seen 30 and 40 years of
service, respectively.
Scattered about the Museum are many
models of the great ocean flyers which
carry Uncle Sans mail abroad; the lat
est styles of delivery wagons and mail
exhibits is model of the old steam
boat 'Southerner," which was the first
steam vessel to carry the mails across the
broad Atlantic. She is queer-loOking
craft, her side paddle wheels uncovered
by any casing, and her smoke-stack pro-
truding from the upper deck. The model
is similar to the original miniature design
Of Robert Fulton, which is shown in con-
nection with his marble statue in Stat
uary Hall at the q. S. Capitol. Several
handsome pictures of former Postmasters-
General and great variety Of photo
graphs, illustrating the detail and i'm
mensity of the Postal service and the
Post Office exhibits at several expositions,

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful il is in Pre-
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human sys-
tenn for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed Of the finest powdered willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in .he form of
large, pleasant tasting iezenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition of
the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty Of it is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits Of charcoal, says: 81 advice
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels. and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; I
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use Of them: they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although in some sense a patent prep.
aration, yet believe get more and bet
ter charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges than In any Of the ordinary char
coal tabiets. .>..,.-~~,r~ ,s~yr

Magazines and Notes.

The Worlds Work for September is a
beauty. One of its most interesting stor-
les is Worldwide Lessons from Kansas
Farms" in which ''the greatest State Sec
retary of Agriculture in the world" F. d.
Coburn. Of Kansas, is exploited for what
he has done for the farmers of the country
by his helpful, practical papers and
pamphlets on agriculture and kindred top
les.
The Smart Set for September is bright
enough to justify its name 1t is bright,
witty and entertaining from beginning to
end.
The leading article in McClure's for
September is 1.-THE Presidents Cuban Pol
ICY" by William Allen White, and the
subject and the author are sufficient to
guarantee its attractiveness.
The Cosmopolitan for September has
many good things in it, but the most in
teresting is a several-pages-long advertise
ment of the Mobile" which will be Gag
eriy read by everybody interested in horse
less vehicles.
The complete novel in Lippincott's Mag
azine for September is "A Bit of Human
Nature" by Ellen Olney Kirk, author of

valuable war history.
