Who Wont

Thirty commercial travellers, their
days work done, were sitting in the
smoking-room, chatting and smok-
ing their pipes, when one of them, a
notorious boaster, announced that he
would like to bet that he could show
more money than anyone in the room.
Fright you are! I'll show my
money against yours" said one, ION
condition that the one who shows the
most money takes the lot and stands
drinks all around"
Each man placed his money under a
hat and third party was deputed to
count it.
He found over $4,000 under the
boasting commercials hat, but only
a paltry three-half pence under the
others. And the boasting gentleman
had to pay for 80 drinks!-Spare Mo-

BRIEF KANSAS ITEMS.

The Kansas state university pays
annually several thousand dollars to
students in the various departments.
One student in the museum who helps
stuff animals, mount and finish them,
receives $500 a year. There are be-
tween 200 and 800 students that do

of the most popular gratis for sum-

A coachl load of Kansas university boys
is sent out every summer. Some make

views. Others go out as book agents
and make enough oftentimes to keep
them through the school year.

.-our agony of glory, the war Of indie
pendence-our great victory of peace,
the formation of the union, and the es-
Enlistment of the constitution-he Is
an, all our own. Washington is ours"
The foregoing was written by Daniel
Webster in regard to the Father of His
Country, the anniversary Of whose
birth occurs February %, an occasion
that is ever freshly remembered by
American hearts. "He was the first
man of the time in which he grew"
wrote Rufus Choate. His memory Is
irst and most sacred in our love; and
ever, hereafter, till the last drop of
blood shall freeze in the last American
and might. There is one personal, one
vast, felicity which no man can share
with him. 1t was the daily beauty and
towering and matchless glory of his life
which enabled him to create his coun-
try, and at the same time secure an I'M
dying love and regard from the whole
American people. Undoubtedly there
were brave and wise and good men be-
fore his day in every colony. But the
American nation. as nation, l. do not
reckon to have begun before 1774. and
the first love of that young America
was Washington. The first word she
lisped was his name. Her earliest
breath spoke It 1t is still her proud
ejaculation. II will be the last gasp
of her expiring life. About and around
him we call up no Nissentient, discord-
ant and dissatisfied elements, no sec
tional prejudice or bias. no party. no
creed, no dogma Of politics. None of
these shall assail him. Yes. when the
storm of battle grows darkest and RACES
highest, the memory Of Washington
shall nerve every American arm and
cheer every American heart. It shall
reilluue that Promethean IRE. that sub
lime fame OF patriotism, that devoted
love of country which his words have
commended, which his example has

Why Kansas Yells Some.

Some conception of the kind Of
whisky the people of Kansas smuggle
in and drink may be found from the
report of the case of two Kansas City
dealers arrested for violations of the
internal revenue law. The price of a
case of four quarts of the stuff is given
at $3.50. Of this the Kansas agent gets
80 cents for his commission. The ex-
press charges must also be deducted.
This makes the whisky stand the Kan
sas consumer-if he is not the con-
sumed-about 65 cents a quart.

Death of Henry Bronson.

Henry Bronson, who is dead at
Mound City, aged SO, was a unique
character. He came to Kansas in 1857.
In 1870 he was elected to the state
senate from Douglas county on the
reform ticket and to emphasize his
hobby rode into the state capital the
day the legislature convened driving
an OK team. He was an ardent advo-
cate of greenbackism and in 1880 I'M
successfully opposed Richard w. Blue
for the state senate from the Linn
Miami-Johnson district.
Says 1t Beats Irrigation.
William Baird, a Reno county farm

western third of the state can produce

system of soil culture than by irriga-
ton. He says the general adoption
of the system will do that part of the
state more good than millions of dol
lars spent on irrigation plants.
