asked what he thought of American
women. THAT is a delicate subject.
especially as l am not leaving the
country and might get into trouble
by discussing it. can only regret
that your American girls refuse to
emigrate to my country. The Amer
lean woman is truly a product Of
your climate, all vigor and freshness
and gentle aggressiveness that
makes her a delightful contrast to
the monotonous sameness and less
vivacious sister across the sea-"

One of the most delicate of hats In
OF white morning glories, the flowers

pie light frocks are In demand.
One of the odd hats of the season Is
something of broad-brimmed sailor
shape. The upper part of the rim is
covered with batiste, broad band of

POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE.
A summer song.

A summer Song.
This about the summertime: Jest let the
thunder ron!
It's good to Jest be Twin. with the glory
in your souli
The light Is shinin' bright
An the stars are out at night.
An the rivers are a-ripple through the
valleys OF delight
This about the summertime: The green
in all the trees,
The shadows of the branches. the drowsy
hum of bees:
The cool an dreamy deIls,
Where the cattle shake their bells.
An the quiet OF the twilight when the
day signs sweet farewells!
Far sweeter is the summertime than
winter. with his Elooms.
For not a vale or meadow but Is beauu-
full with bloomst
The glory of the liRhS
In the morning and the night.
An the singin' of the mockin' birds In
valleys of delight

Youths Immunity.
Willie escaped from the Fourth Of July
And We are as grateful as grateful can be.
And now he goes swimming; and trembling
And wonder If While again we shall see.
Willie goes boating far out on the lake:
Willie hangs round where the qusrrymen
toll.
II the dynamite tender should make mis-
take,
Willie's career 1t would certainly spoil.
Willie makes friends with strange dogs by
the score,
Roams in the pasture where bellows the
bull
Tries to ride colts that he ne'er saw be-
fore
While with Fate has a wonderful pull
Willie's adventures cause constant dismay,
But hunting for troubles his permanent
joy;
So Willie goes on doing things every day
You daren't attempt, cause you aren't q
boy.

Promises.

Once when I was very sick.
And doctor thought I'd die,
And mother couldn't smile at me
But IL just turned to cry,
That was the time for promises;
You should have heard them tell
The lots of good things i could have
II I'd get well
But when the fever went away,
And began to mend.
And begged to eat the goodies
That Grandma Brown would send,
They said beef tea was better,
And gave my grapes TO Nell
And laughed and said; You're mighty
cross
Since you got well"

It's a dismal old world sometimes
With its sorrows and sins and crimes
We must worry through
Long ways that are dark with despair
TO reach the hills that are fair
But still itll do.
It's hard old world, aIasi
With many rough places TO pass
AS we journey through
But still the roads lead up there
To the hills that are high and fair
i guess It'll do.

Sonra Unsunr.

There are the songs that mother sings.
When the heart and life are young.
But the dearest songs the world may know,
Are those that are never sung.
They triumph over Joy or tears
They keep their mighty reign
And live through swiftly passing years.
With sweet. yet deathless strain.
They hold of Gods eternal love
A measure deep and strong,
And join the soul to realms above.
In grand, unspoken song.

She has no wild desire TO reign.
Where fashions splendors are dis

She has no foolish wish to gain
The homage that the great are paid;
She Is content to be unknown.
To walk In uneventfl ways
With one she claims as hers alone.
Who gives her gladneSs with his praise.
She has no wish for wealth or famol
Her world Is whore his footsteps guide:
She only waits TO take his name
And travel gladly at his side
But when the romance fades away
And she must bake the bread he broaks

These rumors about the railroads are
hard to run down, for the reason thai
railroad men are very reluctant about
being quoted in the papers. The coal
business seems 70 be a sort of disturb

are frequent rumors that some change

Some time ago the Central Coke and
Coal company bought out the Kansas

millions of dollars are said to have
changed hands in this deal. That was
made for the purpose of harmonizing
the coal business in the eastern part OF
this state. 1t is now limited that greater
combination is about TO be accomplished

bination Of coal interests are said to have
been held on the quiet in Kansas City
and that an effort is being made to form
a trust that will not be opposed by Tho
railroads. The rallrOauS claim TO nave
nothing 10 do with the management OF
the coal companies but the coal dealer:
say that the officers Of the railroads ar,

what effect the further combination Of
coal companies would have on Wichita
of course cannot now be told. but @,
one thing the people are certain. and
that is that a combination Of the big Goa
