"AII RIGHT IN KANSAS
J. B. Case Tells Of the Vests Excel.
i'e ~ lent Business Condition ~

From Kansas CITY Journal, Dec, IA. '''l' ~
J. B. Case, Of Abilene, was In the
city yesterday. Mr., Case owns de- de-
partment store, is vice president OF a
bank and otherwise identified with
the commerce o. the country. Being
dry goods man be knows how it
goes with the dinner bucket brigade
and being a national banker he knows
how it is going with the plutocrats'
"All, right in Kansas" said Mr.
Case cheerily yesterday, as, sitting in
the board room of the American Ma
tional bank, he discussed trade.
every little while some one gives opt
a pessimistic interview and warns
everybody that we are on verge Of
ruin as the old Populist platforms
used to pat Y. The ~ fact ~ that no
section Of the nation is in as good
condition today as the prairie West,
and particularly Kansas and Okls-
bona. The Eastern money centers
are in no such condition. Money is
higher 10 Wall street han IN Topeka.
1t Is easier to make a loan iu Guthrie
than in Bosom. The old saying that
When the grass does not grow 10
the country 1t grows in town de-
scribes the condition Of the West.
During the past five years the crops
have been growing in the country and
the effect has been seen in the towns.
There has, been an Improvement In
business and thousands Of people who
formerly rented their dwellings now
own them and have improved the
property. In the average Kansas
town 90 per cent Of the real estate is
owned by the people who live there
and the greater portion are free from
mortgage. You can't hurt a com.
munity like that SO long as the crops
grow.
I'm the country districts similar
conditions prevail. Agloomy Kansas
capitalist gave out for publication the
other day the statement that farmers
who bought land last spring are dis
tlsssed. If any such condition exists
in any bank it is because the banker
does not understand bis business. II
the farmer cannot pay for bis added
land and the bank needs money be

get the money at per cent. Ihous'

THE WEDDING PRESENT.
1t Has Become a Social Tax IN
These DAYS.

At me time. when only friends and rela-
yves were invited. to a wedding, they only
gave. or. were expected to give, wedding
presents but since the advent of the after.
noon wedding. with its subsequent reception
1t has become the fashion to invite, more
or less. all ones acquaintances. even COM
parauve strangers, to attend both the cere-
mony at the church and the reception after
wards. :
It Is this custom that has led to what
may be called the indiscriminate giving OF
wedding presents, and this. combined with
tho practice ofehaying these presents and
the names. of the donors recorded and de-
scrtbed infthe society papers, is fast making
the giving of wedding presents a social
tax, for there are very few people in the
present day who can afford 10 be constant

ents for comparative strangers.

friends and relatives. and are pleased 70

casion. a gift in proportion to their means,
but If thei- means are small, they shrink
from buying some small thing which alone
they can afford, and which. therefore. they
ought only to buy. because they know their

a false shame. no doubt. many will
say that gives rise to this fear; still, 1t is
a very natural feeling to have, and one
which will be entertained by most people
under the circumstances. for no one likes
to be either thought or called mean, es-
pecially when they feel that they do not
deserve the appellation. and that 1t is their
poverty. not their will. that obliges them
tosrestrict the value Of their Offering.
Every one who is invited to a wedding
feels that he or she is expected to send a
wedding present, and If they accept do
send one, not always because they wish
to- but because they think they are obliged
that Ithey think will look well among the
gifts displayed. many OF which doubt
less have been chosen for the same reason.
Surely this is not the spirit In which n
gift should be offered, and to call 1t by this
name is certainly a misnomer. To give to
those we like or love a remembrance of
their wedding day should be a pleasure to
the one who gives as well as to the one
who receives. and would be if chosen, not
because 1t will look well and sound well
