as soon as the railroad companies get
fairly out Of the state Mr.. Paul Morton
takes trip over the southwest noting the
evidences of prosperity all along his
lines. He returns to his Office and an

the Dutchman's one per cent.
The first telephone used for business
purposes in Wichita was built between
the Eagle Office and the postohice, which
was then in the room occupied by Tan
ners book store. the Eagle Office in its
present location. 1t was a large copper
wire. furnished by II. r. Butler and
stretched by him between the two points.
The first wire TO cross the avenue was
from the Eagle Office. At each end of
the wire was posted cylinder three
inches in diameter and four inches long
and on one end was stretched rawhide
Ike the head of drum. The wire went
through the cylinder and was fastened
with button on the outside of the raw
hide. To call the attention to the phone
a rap Of something against the drum
head was sufficient. Conversation at that
distance could be heard quite distinctly.
I would have some people know that
reforms begins or are established first at
hcme. This is especially applicable to
those who are chasing all over the coun-
try and ransaking in search Of other
peoples failings and faults.
I rather think I would be little eau
tlous about assessing tax on milk men
who drive into the city as long as we
have the town cows ranging from one
70 a half dozen. penned up IN back
lots in town from which large amount
OF milk is pe6dled regularly regular
route. same as the man who drives in
from the country. All that is necessary
for a country dairyman to do, is TO rent
a lot put one COW in it. open his Office
ON the townsite and -aen become a res
idcnt and be entitled 20 the same privil-
eyes as any other resident-free from a
tax.
1t may be funny-and I guess it is fun
for the crowds Of people who drive to the
ZOO in the park, for someone to torment
that large elk until he becomes so en-
RACED that he dashes fun force against
the wire fence with his antlers. There
ought to be a sign on the fence warn
ing visitors from teasing the animals.
I've been figuring on the new society for
sick people. One hundred members
assessments would amount to SIS per
week To make it real paying invest
ment to the graft. a thousand members
would make an income OF $50 per week.
Only about I'VE per cent of the members
VIII be sick at any one time unless the
yellow fever or some epidemic should
strike il. So 7 was wondering what they
would do with the balance of the money
after paying the doctor $50 a day.
Speaking Of licenses for gas wells Did
you read Ida Tarbelrs history on the
Standard on company's operations how
one day the people OF the prosperous oil
towns awoke and found that hand had
been thrust in from somew here-they
knew not-and throttIed them. DO YOU
remember how the same company swiped
the oil field in Wilson county and closed
out the business. refusing 10 furnish
manufacturers crude oil Tor fuel-which
