as given In this volume is as follows:
TN making my second trip across tho
plains, in the spring Of 1868, | noticed
that the country was dotted with bare
chimneys and blackened ruins of houses
along the old Santa Fe trail, from a few
miles west Of Westport to Council Grove.
The day we reached Council Grove two
men rode In on fine horses and, dlsmount.
Ing, one Of them said: II expect you
know who we are, but am suffering the
torments of hell from the toothache, and
II you will allow me to get relief we will
not disturb your town; but II we are mo-
Tested, have body Of men near here
who will burn your town. These men
| learned afterwards were Bill Anderson
and Up, Hays. A friend by the name
of Chalaeld with his family and | with
my family were travelling together.
We drove about ten miles from Council
Grove that day and camped with an OK
train going to Santa Fe, Chatield and
| had very large tent between us That
night about midnight, during a heavy
rainstorm, those men with about fifty
Others road up and dlsmounted, and as
many of them as could enter our tent
crowded in and asked for water, We
happened to have large keg fnll.
After they drank, they saw that our
wives as we'll as ourselves were much
frightened, and they said: "Ladlea,
you need not be frightened; we are not
making war on women and children,
but On blue coats"

Weather Was Against it But 1t Was

in spite Of the weather. There were
people present from Dodge City, Spear.
vile, Bucklln, Klnsley and from over the
county generally. Hundreds more would
have attended had 1t not been rainy in

report that the attendance was just large
enough to get the most enjoyment out Of
the event.
The old settlers picnics haYe become
famous for many miles around.
1t Is with great satisfaction that Ford
county people contemplate what has been
accomplished III the Wlndhorst settlement
by tho pluck Of the early settlers. A
quarter Of a century ago when this coun.
try was branded on the maps "arId re-
gion" few thrifty Germans pitched their
tents there and undertook to convert that
vicinity into a land Of prosperous homes,
They had their ups and downs, and some
Of such severe "downs" that settlers with
less courage might have become dlscour-
aged. But they won tue battle and pros.
pered. Their lands now are valuable
and tho people are In comfortable cir
cumstances, and happy. The early
settler of any country is always more or
less Of a hero, but those men and women
who settled this far west in Kansas when
they did, were heroes in the fullest sense
of The word.
The "plcnIc" yesterday was In the
way Of a general visit and jolliAcation.
There was no program Of speeches to
make the time pass slowly. Everybody
himself IN bis own good way
and contributed to the enjoyment Of bis
friends and guests.
The picnic was held at the Tassett

The Youths Companion: The
post Office department loses money
every year. But there is one sorr,e
Of revenue which is clear gain to the
government-the large number of
stamps that are wasted by the people.
There are two ways in which the
government profits by the carelessness
and ignorance of the public. In the
frst place many stamps are destroyed.
This means profit to the department
of thousands Of dollars year; how
much cannot be estimated. for there
is on means of getting tho figures, ex-
cept by elaborate and untrustworthy
calculation. A person carries stamps
in his pockets until they are SO worn
that he does not dare use them. In
point Of fact, anything that looks like
q good stamp, no matter if it is some.
what mutilated, is passed by the
clerks, just as a dilapidateds bank
note is good if there is enough Of it
to show what it is. Wear and dirt
cannot, without almost destroying the
stamp, giyeit the Iookaf one that
has been cancelled. YsEfew people

THE JUBILEE OF LEO XIII.

Today in Rome Catholic Christen.
dom will 10 honor to the most of the
grand old men of the age. Pope Leo
celebrates a three-fold jubilee, mark
ing the seventhy- fifth anniversary Of
his conservation to the priesthood, the
fftieth year Of his enjoyment of the
archeriscopal dignity and the twen.
ty-fifth anniversary of his election az
pope
In all the history of the Catholic
church, record replete with notable
events s-there is nothing to match
this three fold jubilee even as there
are few popess to match in spiritual
grace and temporal wisdom the pres
ent wearer of the papal crown.
Leo XIII. is the last, as he was un.
doubtedly the greatest, of the four
great old men who by the very weight
of their wisdom dominated the world
during the closing years Of the last
century.
Leo, Gladstone, Bismarck and
Crispi. remarkable quartette to,
whom greatness came with the full
ness of years, shaped the affairs Of
government for many nations. Glad
stone, Bismarck and Crispi, after
leaving an indelible impress on the
nations which gave them birth, laid
down the burden of life with the cen.
tury whose history they made.
Leo alone survives and his wisdom
still compels the admiration and re-
speet Of all nations and all creeds.
The notable events of his life
which are to be commsmorated in the
celebration of today form chain that
is impressive and the world, without
regard to creed, will unite with the
faithful Of the CHURCH Of Rome in
hoping that tho century Of usefulness
and honor to which the pope looks
forward will be vouchsafed him.
