OUT IN KANSAS.
blue c. Bard.)
Tornadoes come up quickest
Out in Kansas.
Storm clouds are the thickest
Out in Kansas.
Wind blew paper from the wall,
Blew horse from his stall,
And the L out of a hall.
Out in Kansas.
Farmers need 70 hands
Out in Kansas
Storm king plows their lands
Out in Kansas.
Place the sulky on the ground.
Wind takes it round and round
Till no unplowed land is found
Out in Kansas.
Don't have TO shell their corn
Out in Kansas.
Luckiest people ever born
Out in Kansas.
Wind blows corn against knot,
Cobs all fall out in the lot.
Leaving shelled corn IL one spot
Out in Kansas.
Water rises highes.
Out in Kansas,
Death is ever highest
Out III Kansas.
They We're heroes strong and brave
Who battled with wind and wave
And at last their loved ones saved
Out in Kansas.

Out in Kansas.
-Grasshoppers are strongest
Out in Kansas.
They are larger than crow
Eat the corn up row by row.
Ruin crops where er they go
Out in Kansas.
Winter is the coolest
Out in Kansas.
People soon look oldest
Out in Kansas.
The tornado blows EN- fiat,
Water browns EN- like a rat,
They don't know where they're at
Out in Kansas.

NIT the following:
THE MOONSHINE STILL"
Talk about our Kansas wind, but tel me
if you will.
What old "Kaintucll" would do without
her ''moonshine" still?
How would they keep their feuds alive
to murder men at viii,
If they hadn't ''Kaintuck' whiskey, and
their 'anoonshine stiIl?''
Up there in old Kentucky, on the noun
tain side at night,
Is where you find the ''moonshine" with
out a spec of light
That sort of "moonshine's" always dark,
except to those who know.
They can work that sort OF thing all
right where the wind don't blow.
No, they would not live in Kansas, where
the jolly breezes free
Would tell the sheriff where he could the
''moonshine" see.
They talk about our cyclones, of the hop
pers' of the past:
Well, that is not half as bad as their
death game, that will last.
When they get few more people than
they really want about
Some luny takes a shot and clears the
village out.
No. I wouldn't talk of Kansas wind; Kar-
sas is all right.
Our wind is never strong enough to dow
out Kansas light
We believe in live and let live, in sunny
Kansas state;
That old Time should do the rounding ur,
to the golden gate.
We believe we are the salt of earth. prove
il every day.
And there isn't any "moonshine" or
slaughter in the play.

lady the Municipal court appointed his
administratriy until his death.

half OF the same,
The main claim OF the appellants was
that the estate consisting chiefly OF
stocks. a woman could not manage II TO
the best advantage. Appellants wanted
either Attorney Sumner appointed sole
administrator or co-administrator with
Mrs Ssyes.
Mr.. sayles died last March and on April

that he had been extremely successtul In
advising clients as TO Investments In

widow as the next OF kin were decidedly

A. J. Cushing counsel for Mrs Sayles

Judge Dubois said the estate was not
large enough for two administrators and
the question was not which person would
