jumps ahead of a fit. De walters don't understand, t-r dey comes from kind of Hoboken of France where some sort of French yiddish is spoke; ant. can't cop de real Paris article dat Duchess sprouts. Oats a good ting, too for when Duchess gets passing out de latest extrays about de lit- tie lad in de brass band set dat carries a wrls. bag, and wears rose in his thatch at night, it wouldn't do does back-woods Frenchies no good to hear de whole story.
 Jacques gives each of de wait CTS bot of claret for dinner; but dat day one of em was docked his red wine and made to drink tea, because he'd broke so many dishes; and de poor chap cried so much over his hard luck dat he made de tea salty. Den he said 1t wasn't so bad.
 But dat wasn't what 1 was going to tell you; only sometimes I get wondering so hard why folks isn't like Americans dat l has to sing a song about it-or have a fit. I was saying dat to MT. Paul de odder day, when we was trying to see would his slocp sail as well on her rail as her keel. Yes, Chames," he says, de American people couldn't do a wrong act if dey tried Dey is generous, just, patriotic and grateful people; and dey will not be represented in high office by a man who forgets to show generosity and gratitude and justice, instead of meanness, ingratitude, and unfairness in all his acts At de club de odder day I was talking dis oyer wit General Miles, and he says"
 Just den a squall hits us, and me and Mr Paul has to swim ashore, so I never heard what de General said. It don't cut no ice, anyway, for MT Paul, when he starts out wit lot of dude langwudge like does woids, is mostly training Tor a match wit Whiskers.
 As I was saying, dat wasn't what 1 was going to tell you about. Remember de job dat Duchess puts up to make Whisk- CTS get togedder wit Wiley Wid- dy? Yell, when Whiskers seen Cat dere was no more trespassing on de grass he got foul of his shy streak again, and him and widdy was so far apart dat he couldn't see her. Dat makes Duchess so mad she could scream, for she is bound to get Whiskers located in her own fireside, so udt Miss Fan nie can be made to take trips to Paris, and oder necks of woods where Duchess wants to go, and where Miss Fannie won't go so long as her pa has no home of his own.
 I don't make it my business to fuss wit tings like dose, for I'm satisfied wit me job as it lays; all de same I wouldn't give odds dat Miss Fannie would put up a yell if Whiskers had a shack to run all by himself, and didn't have so much time to run hers. MT. Paul doesn't say noting. He's wise guy, MT. Paul is, and so long as Whiskers stands half de price or running our places, dat leaves MT. Paul more of his own long green to turn away on yacht and tings dat boins money like a tree-call

combined acres of the expositions of Chi- cago, Paris, Omaha and Buffalo
 There are multiplying evidences that the St Louis exposition has by the iner- tia of it's momentum. guided by skillfuI direction, broken from the net of local ism with which at the outset 1t seemed enmeshed. With the progress of it's great buildings 1t Is taking form. With the appropriations of many states 1t is acquiring the elements of adequate do- nestle representation. With the pledges of many foreign nations its exhibits will be comprehensive of the races and pro- ducts of the planet. Thus it promises to sum in it's entirety the achievements of humanity, In which the Louisiana Pur- chase was a stride toward enabling this nation to play the part of a world pow CT.
 Even in its present state, the St Louis exposition offers inspiring vistas to the imagination. The end of this week will see the completion of four of it's great est buildings, while most of the others are well under way. The best landscape art is supplementing the natural beau ties of its spacious grounds, which are to be traversed with convenient means of transportation. All of the marvels of modern science and art will add their contributions. A mere rehearsal of the prospective attractions Is fascinating. It remains for St. Louis to assure the coun- try and the world that 1t will make ade- quate provision, without extortion, for the care and the carriage of the millions of visitors who will choke its gates In 1904. The city will become the hostage of the fame of the nation as well as of it's own for well ordered entertainment.

PASSING OF A LANDMARK.
Crane Ranch, Through Which the
I Santa Fe Trail Ran.

HERINGToN, May 21.-Situated on
q bend Of the Cottonwood river two
miles northwest Of Durham, Kas., In
q dense grove Of cottonwood and
maple is the Crane ranch, built some
thirty.three years ago BY George W.
Crane Of Chicago. The ranch con.
sisted OF about nine sections Of land
extending along the river bottoms, q
great part Of II fenced with board
fence. The house, large two-story
and basement Of colonial design with
porches extending around its three
sides, is being torn down and on the
site will be built q home Of modern
architecture. The stock barns, sew
eral hundred feet in length, that
sheltered some Of as fine Shorthorns
as ever came to the state, are being
torn down, and the lumber, thous-
ands Of feet Of it, freighted BY wagon
from Council Grove, will be used in
the building Of new structures.
Deeply furrowed BY constant use and
wind and rain, now grass grown,
runs the old Santa Fe trail within a
stones throw. The ranch was q
stopping place for ireighters overland
as it afforded some protection from
marauding bands Of Indians. A
volume might be written ofthe many
thrilling incidents still retailed BY
the old settlers here Of the meetings
Of freighters eastward and westward
bound.
Several years following the estab-
lishment Of the ranch 1t was on a
paying basis, but in later years 1t
failed to pay any dividends and finally
it went into voluntary liquidation In
1885,.
1t was through Cranes efforts that
this part Of the state and many other
parts were supplied with imported
and domestic bred Shorthorns, and be
did much to bring up the standard Of
cattle in the state. The ranch, which
was known at Durham park. has
since been divided up into 100 acres
tracts and is owned BY many indi-
viduals. While time may make
many changes in the general land
scape Of this place yet it will take
centuries to obliterate its name. g.
