Just One of Those NOthlngs.

VIM. Kingery is out with this story
explaining his position politically. Dur
ing the period of border warfare just
preceding the great civil strife man
who CHANGED to struggle into Missouri
was picked up by band off Guerillas
and questioned as to whether his
Sympathies were with the north or
south. Ignorant of the results which
would follow a truthful answer he
promptly responded that he was a
northern man. He was given hard
beating by way Of chastiSement and
released. Sometime later he encount-
cred another band. Remembering his
former experience he resolved II
questioned to deny bis country and be
safe. But again he missed it and the
northerners gave him thorough
whipping and impressed upon him
the necessity Of reform. Yet
once more he ran up against a
crowd and with the events of
the two former occasions fresh
In memory, the problem Of how
to escape punishment was extremely
perplexing SO when the usual ques.
tions were propounded be said, ,,l'm
Just one of those damn nothings."
And this, Billy says, is the case of
the Kansas populistS.

The Population Of Kansas.

The present population OF kansas
1.533, O49-is the largest in the history
OF the state-and the BEST That is,
it is permanent quantity with great
possibilities of growth Eand develop
ment. The people who are in Kansas
now are there, for the most part, to
stay, and many more are coming.
There have been some curious tiuct-
uations in the population OF Kansas
The history of the state has, been
marked, not only by remarkable in
tluxes, but by corresponding etlluxes.
There have been times when the drift
of population from the state has ex-
ceeded in voumn the drift OF popula
tion to the state. The chances for
repetition of that phenomenon are
rapidly diminishing. The outpoSts
marking the boundary of certain agri-
culture are being gradually extended.
What has been known as the, short
grass" country is being steadily an
nexed to the domain of the perma-
nent husbaAdman: There will be no
more exoduses from that section. 1t
is being adapted to the special uses
for which it is fitted, and has become
a reliable source of wealth.
The net gain in the population OF
Kansas for the past year was 3S,2lS.
That would populate any city in the
state with the exception OF Kansas
City. The accretion has been notably
large In the oil and gas fields. Mont
gomery shows larger growth than
any other county in the state, with an
increase of 1854. The oil and gas
interests continue an item OF pure
gain to the riches Of Kansas, which
was not dreamed Of a few years ago.
1t has converted number of country
towns in Southeastern Kansas into
thriving cities and is attracting to
the state thousands Of people and an
enormous quantity OF capital.
While this numerical reinforcement
has been going on, Kansas has the
best of reasons to felicitate itself, also,
on the character of It's population.
This is constantly exemplifying the
influences which proceed from the
steady and progressive development of
unfailing resources. The tranquiliz-
ing and refining effects Of permanent
prosperity are witnessed on every
hand In Kansas. The average of en-
lightenment and culture is unusually
high and the true philosophy Of living
has been mastered by very large ma
jority of the people. Kansas is not a
land
To Fastening ills prey,
Where wealth accumulateS
And men decay.
Every forward step which 1t takes in
the achievement of material power is
marked by the expansion of all Of
those ethical qualities which are es-
sential to great state.-Kansas City
Star.

Beats Politics.

A truthful republican who happen
ed to be in the city last Thursday
during the progress of the convention
explained that while interested in its
deliberations he had come to town for
the purpose Of chartering a car to
ship an ear of corn to the exposition
at st. Louis as he deemed 1t lifting
exhibit of the Phillips county product
Ii possible TO secure a car large
enough he intends to send potato
along also. Phillips county wheat re-
ceIved the highest award at Chicago

hibited at st. Louis she will also win
the blue ribbon for corn and potatoes.

In looking over the items which sum
up the leading characteristics Of other
states, it is difficult to find a !single
sentence which tells so much, and of
which the native citizen might justly
be so proud as the one quoted from
the following extract:

Abused His Generosity.

G. o. Graham who resides just south
of Logan has an exceptionally fine
large field of watermelons and showed
his generosity by announcing that
anyone desiring to sample his product
could enter the patch at pleasure and
eat melon or take it away with him,
He has been compelled to refuse this
privilege as 500 or more melons had
been pulled from the vines, cut open
or burst and havoc generally spread
throughout the patch. This repre-
sents quite a financial loss as the
melons were a marketable product
and in order to protect him.

Good Corn.

Zal Ferguson brought in an ear of
corn Saturday that measures thirteen
inches in length. He states that the
stalk which grew this ear also bore
another of about the same size and he
estimates his yield from a large field
at not less than eighty bushels per
acre.

SanctltY Of the Malls.

A man stole panama nat frhm the
mails in Hawaii. He came to the
United States and went to Delaware.
He has been arrested and must be
taken back to Hawaii. The mileage
fees alone Of the officer who takes
him back will amount to $1,000. The
trial and conviction, If he Is convicted
will cost not less than $4,000. The
hat he stole was worth 81. At first
glance this looks,like foolish expend-
iture 0tmoney. But it is not. Next
to the American home itself, the
United States mail is the most sac
red. II holds even the secrets of the
hu ne, the best there is In Us. There
is nothing that the government
is pledged more solemnly to protect
tlan the things we confide TO its care.
Half the business and domestic affairs
of this great nation are contided to
the mails. The government could
better afford to spend a million dol
lars to bring to justice the man who
rlfled the mail pouch and stole 81
hat than 1t could to pass the matter
over withla jest. The mail service Of
the United States is sacred, and it is
a national pride that 1t is so.-Law-
renee Gazette.
