climate and splendid water
As result of these Kansas
produces more and better food
for man and beast than any 9TH
er equal area on the globe. No
better fruits can be found any
where. Kansas is the only coun-
try on earth where the yield of
her land in one year will pay for
the land. Here is a state of
which it can truthfully be said, is
without mountains and without
swamps, and this cannot be said
OF any other equal area on earth.
Kansas is 400 miles long 21O
miles wide with an area of over
100000 acres, yet on all this
space can be found neither
mountain nor swamp.
And all these Kansas has
brought out of the desert. Her
perjury has changed to plenty,
her savagery to civilization.
Her growth and evolution has
been greater than that of any
other in the history of the world.
Kansas has suffered. She learn
ed her lesson well though dearly
bought and she has NO desire to
repeat her experience in this line.
She comes from the fire refined,
without spot or blemish.
For young men who are seek
ing homes, for people who are
seeking health, for those seeking
land at a reasonable price, Kan
sas offers the. best inducements.
Once within her boundaries she
offers every encouragement.
Those who wish to invest their
capital, to develop her rich re-
sOurSes, Kansas offers the best,
and strong assurance can safely
be made Of satisfactory results.

FOrty-one years OF tolls, hard
ships, privations, economy, hap
piness, prosperity, plenty, ease.
Where can we find a greater rec
ord made in so short a time?
Fortyrone years is not great
length of time yet in those few
years Kansas has been trans
formed from wilderness, almost
a desert, into one of the most
fertile, fruitful and enterprising
states in the Union-in fact one
of the best on the globe. She
can no longer be considered
young yet she has not yet reach
ed the fullness of her growth.
Her development has been
wonderful, even beyond the fond
est hopes of her early settlers,
yet what is the growth of the
past compared to the outlook of
the future. Her present aggre-
gate is marvellous but her future
is SO much larger that the pres
ent will seem as a speck compar-
ed withit. At present the state
contains in round numbers one
and a half million people, but in
the not far distant future she will
be able to support at least twen-
ty-five millions.
But even before that time ar
rives Kansas will be one of the
most important factors in the
commerce of the world. Look at
her position in that field today.
She virtually feeds the world.
She has q greater variety OF in,
dustries than any other state
and ships out a greater amount
of the products of her industries.
Kansas started out pauper,
today she is relatively if not act
ually the most prosperous state
in the union. She is rich almost
beyond comparison in the pro-
ducts of field, orchard and vine
yard, and in CATTLE, horses, hogs,
sheep and poultry, and beneath
the soil are untold millions of
coal, zinc and salt. The white
bread of.the people of the earth
is made of Kansas wheat; the cat
tie of the civilized world fatten
on Kansas corn. Kansas meats
are found on the best tables of
Q every cline and in the best shops
of every land.
The tide in the affairs Of Kan
a sas was taken just at the right
time, and that less than a decade
ago. The result is prosperity
whichshas won a victory over ad-
gersitysin such marvellous de-
gree as to elicit the comment as
we'll as. the admiration of the
whole country. The change was
as rapid as if by miracle. During
this time debt has been trans
formed into plenty, dependency
overcome, and the desert has
Been made to blossom as a rose.
. Where once was woe, want and
pgivations, abundance reigns.
The 'scepter of hard times no
longer is feared by her people.
Prosperity's banner floats over
all in triumph. Her cities and
towns are surpassed by none.
Her country is superior to any.
The people all over her plains en-
Joy the best. Her schools are
marvellous, in fact the best in
the union. No where can be found
a better schoolsystem than that
in Kansas. The young from
both city and country are given
the best educational advantages
and all these are to be found
within her boundaries. Her clliel
charms are her fertil soil, mild

Like magic he dropped hown and
arrived opposite the window.
A pair of arms shot out and seized
him; Airline was on the watch and
much distressed lest something should
happen to him.
And Charlie was thankful enough to
crawl in through that blessed window;
his first act was to take her to his
heart and exclaim;
God bless you for a brave girl,
Keep up your spirits and we will
cheat the old monster yeti"
of confidence and trust that made him
stronger than ever in the resolution
to dare all for her sake.
What advantage had been gained?
They were one flight nearer the
earth, but the danger still menaced;
this floor, like all others, was given
over to the riotous flames, and to halt
here meant the same inevitable end.
Charlie did not mean to stay.
Given time, he might have found or
constructed a rope by means of which
he would have lowered Airline to the
ground.
That would have been glorious, but
the seconds were too few; and, be-
sides, on looking down he saw tire old
enemy bursting out from the windows
near the basement.
Some other plan, then, was needed.
