and magazines in all parts of the coun-
try. The editor reproduces them with
out other comment than this heading:
'Sundry Slight Aeerbitations of Certain
Good Men and Virtuous. Temporarily
Disgruntled with Themselves" The
criticisms range from the bitter and
ridiculously self-defeating to the mild
and not unjust. Some of them are no.

THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

The Civic Association is a worthy in
stitution but it should have a censor
to determine what and what not the
association shall undertake Unless that
is done it may have herculean duties
to perform and no Hercules to carry
them through.
The association has nlaced ban on
uncut grass, dogs, cats, cotton bearing
cottonwoods. the Kansas avenue livery
stable and a few other reforms which
have been crying for remedies, as long
as Ed Little's dogs barked at the pyra-
mids of Egypt. The association will do
well to Danish anyone of these nuisances,
as they are termed, but the association
will find that it can not cope with all
of them.
Ed Howe has pelted the dogs ofAtchi-
son through his paper for years. Howe
has accomplished many things, but the
dogs still find the town of Atchison a
pleasant place to live in. AS for cats
if the association thinks it can go into
the homes and firesides and drive away
the family cat, there will be war. And
the same trouble will result, too, when
the man with the bob tailed fox terrier
or the well educated hunting dog is told
that his canine must go, but of course
the association didn't endorse Mr.
Smythe's stand. The best thing the as
ISOLATION can do is to stick to the grass
cutting and cottonwood tree extermina-
ton this year. When that is done it
will be time to turn to the canine and
feline propositions. Kansas avenue and
a few other things. Everyone hopes
the association will succeed. except the

such statements must be either intoi-
erably ignorant and narrow minded or
guilty of the not unusual Injustice of
judging the Fra without a thorough ac-
quaintance of his work. However one
may disapprove of his theories or his

Gilbert Hubbard is one of the most viz
lie, vigorous and versatile figures in the
field of American art today. He is q
thinker and a worker. He dreams and
he does. The fact that he has built
from nothing In a few short years a
large and profitable institution employ
ing many people and turning the raw
material and undeyeioped talent of
small and desolate country village to
good account both artistieally and fin
ancially, shows that his is practical
genius. Mr.. Hubbard's doctrines are
the doctrines of Christianity and the
doctrines of common sense. No man
who breaches the value OF industry,
temperance. usefulness and kindness can
be an enemy of society. He must be, in
the largest sense, q force for good, and
his success should be matter of graft
fcation to every one who has the good
of humanity at heart. But no man need
expect to be forgiven by the common
herd for the crime of climbing above
them. Let him get his head above the
crowd and it becomes a target for Its
crawling creatures below. Envy like

WHAT OF DRourHY KANSAS P

Within two or three weeks lately
complaints have been lodged against
the weather dispensers that too much
rain had fallen. 1t is such an unusual
sort of protest that it is worth rem ark
ing upon
1t is true perhaps that the precipita-
ton has been a little more than was
really needed, but the season has not
yet passed, summer is not ended, the
harvest is still away, and no telling
what demands vegetation may make
for moisture before autumn This much
is to be said. though, that SO far not a
great general loss has resulted from
the heavy rainfall Reports have
come from some sections Of the
state telling how that it would
harvest with so much water stand
ing in the fields, but this n1urmur
has usually been followed a day or two
later by encouraging words that the
trouble would not turn out SO seriously
as had been expected.
These conditions suggest another
thing, too, and that is the possibility
of conserving this m DISTURB for use on
the farms and ranches of this state in
times of drouth when stock and crops
are suffering for want of water. The
time is coming when on every place"
there will be reservoir or pond, per-
haps half a dozen, in which a supply of
water available for use in furnishing
animals and vegetation with the requi-
site supply to keep them in a healthy
and growing condition will be found.
Scarcely any section of the state would
fail to be benefited by such a scheme.
for in most parts of the middle west
dry times come when one thorough
soaking of the ground in which plants
are growing would not fall amiss. And
as for stock. ranchmen recognize in
cool, clean water for their animals to
drink one of the surest means of keep
ing up the health and growth of the
same. AS Kansas becomes more thick
ly populated the manner of dealing with
the drouth problem will suggest itself
upon the minds of those engaged in the
agricultural and stock industries and is
sure to be brought to a reality. 1t may
take time, but as long as the general
conditions of the present continue, such
must come to pass.

LATEST SOCIAL SENSATION.

According to a late story from New
port the newest addition to polite socie-
ty is "Jocko.'' Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Lehr (the newspapers speak of them in
such a way that one feels obliged to
pretend to know who they are whether
he has ever heard of them before or
not) gave a dinner one night last week
and among the guests, attired inregula-
ton evening dress and seated in the
place of honor was a pet monkey. This
distinguished guest put both his feet
and his face in his plate, and after
several courses with accompanying
wines became intoxicated, and began
throwing the glasses about with reck-
panions, far from being shocked at
such eccentricities of etiquette were
thoroughly delighted with the success
of their hosts ingenious scheme for
their amusement. The dinner was cas-
lily the sensation of the week and
'Jocko' is being overwhelmed with
invitations to other functions, his COM
icalities for the present having put all
the other social lions out of the game.
At this season when the American aris-
tocracy gathers at that resort for the
summer most of the rot that gets into
the telegraph news is under a Newport
headline. In society in general the
bsped monkey" is sufficiently prom
inent figure of the local smart set to
make the introduction OF the quadruped
seem unnecessary, but since the word
has gone forth from Newport no doubt

Rose and yelled for Hiawatha
Rose and with her red robe waving
Like frightful danger signal.

And then landed in puddle
Where the tadpoles loved to frolic.

Rushed around and bent above her,

Up she rose and out she waded,
Saving things to him in 1njun
And she grabbed the net and tore it
Into more than sixty pieces;
She knocked down the door and smashed 1T
And then grabbed a ping-pong paddle
And went after Hiawatha-
Here and there he hurried, lodging
Things she grabbed up and threw at him.
And she called him names and told him
That she'd make him when she caught him
Curse the man who had invented
