With the exception of Senator Harris
it is likely that the entire congressional
delegation will leave for Kansas the latter
part of next week. Ali of them may not
leave Immediately after the adjourn n ent
of congress for the holiday recess. but
those who do not get away then, win
leave later on Most OF them are interest
ed in the senatorial contest. of course,
and this is the magnet which is drawing
them to Kansas. Representa- tives Long
and Curtis have already gone Represen-
tatives Calderhead, SfillefsScott and Reed
er are pfanrine to Iesve next Saturday.
Mr. Bowcrsoek has not decided yet wheth-
er he will go to Kansas during the holt
days or not. but it is probable that he
will If he does not go then. he Will go
later on Senator Harris. Of course, has
no incentive to go to Kansas at this time.
as the meeting of the legislature has no
sort of interest for him. He will remain
in Washington, and is keeping his eyes

Communicated.

"How sweet to be remembered" and
more especially to those who live
alone. We were reminded of this at
meeting of the American History Club
Sept. 9th, 1902, at the home of the hos
tess and member, Mrs. M. A. Reed,
this being her birthday, whom we found
emf ying the contents of an elegant
box. sent as a special reminder of the
day by her son, Ernest, Of Kansas City,
being set of solid silver spoons, also
a ''hello box" of fine candy, which was
generously distributed among the mem
bers.
After the business of the session was
finished, the president, Mrs. Budd, in
behalf of the club, presented the hos
tess silver cake basket, in honor of
the occasion and as token of the es-
TEEN felt for this estlmable woman by
the members of the club. 1t was a
C omplete surprise to our vice presi-
dent who feelingly thanked the men,
for their remembrance. She had pro-
vided dainty refreshments, served on
little tables and the birthday cake and
other good things were greatly en-
dyed After recitations and stories
by different members Of the club, this
interesting meeting closed, all wishing
Mrs. Reed many years of happiness to
come.
Gods love and peace be with thee
Wheresoe er this soft autumnal air
Lifts the dark tresSes of thy hair
With such prayer on this sweet day
So thou maySt hear and we may say
We greet thee on thy natal day.

BIG CROP OF WEEDS.
Large Numbers Allowed to go to Seed on
The Highways

Most Of the roads leading out of
the city are lined with tall weeds.
So far as can be judged by the ap-
pearance few of the farmers have
made any battle whatever against
them and as they have gone to seed
there is every prospect Of an album
dant crop next year.
A luxUriant growth has been fos-
tered by the frequent heavy rains
of the summer. If it is true that
this has been a great season for
abundant crops, it is even more true
that the atmospheric conditions
have caused a fourishing growth of
weeds. In some cases they are SO
tall that it is difficult to see over
them into the adjoining field.
Among them all the thistle is pro-
badly as Objectionable as any weed.
In the past farmers have often made
an effort to stop the growth by run
ming the mower along the side of
the road greatly improving the gen
eral appearance Of the highway. In
some cases this practice has been
kept up, but in others the weeds
have grown unhindered.

Wisconsin is forging to the front.
Her name is appearing on cartoons
and is being quoted in comparatiy e
statements, political and otherwise,
where it was not formerly, and in gen.
eral she is attracting attention. This
is part due to the prominence given
Wisconsin through Cooper and the in
sular bills, Babcock with his tariff leg
islation and congressional committee
work, Payne with the southern appor-
tionment idea and politics, as we'll as
in the cabinet, and the general promi-
nence of Spooner Partly it is due to
the fact that you cannot Keep good

The roses bloom but a season, yet
they come again. 1t is thus with our
joys. We grow and labor and suffer,
catching the fragrance and fruits of
happiness just enough to keep them
from being commonplace. If the rose
bush was all blossoms always there
would be nothing about it to admire.
If our life were all joy where would be
the corr parison, and, without compari-
son, the qualification? Barring the
shade and the shadow there would be
one unavailable desert, an evanescent
nothing of joy.

1t is good many years since corn
has been burned as fuel, and the high
price for this cereal prevailing during
the present year would seem to put it
out of the list of possible substitutes
for COAL But such big corn crop is
coming forward in Kansas that the
farmers are calculating that it will be
the cheapest fuel they can get this win
ter, unless the coal situation improves.
"Corn to burn" this season, contrasted
with the shortage of last year, would
demonstrate the marvellous recuper-
alive power of the corn belt.
