boat Navigation on the Missouri Riv-
en-" according to story In the Phila-
delphla Ledger. The fare provided for
the crews in early days was extremely
plain and scanty. One of the boats
commanded by a Capt. La Barge was
going through the buffalo country VILLA
only poor supply of salt pork and dry
bread. Every eye was alert for a meal
Of fresh meat, If such should appear on
four feet anywhere in the vicinity. At
last near Handy's Post, four huge
bulls We're sighted, swimming the riv-

greenhorn, named John Durack, and
the captain thought this fine oppor-
tunity to break him in to some of the
west. He gave orders to the men on
the boat to shoot the buffaloes and he
and John would lasso them when
either wounded or dead and tow them
back to the hungry crew. But John,
it seems, did not quite understand the
program. About midstream he sud
denly flung the moose over the head of
the foremost buffalo, which was nat,

the buffalo's feet touch the bottom
and up the bank he scrambled, carry

it struck the rocky shore. Terrified
and furious, the buffalo, lasso, boat
bow and all, went careening out Of
sight across the prairie, and the sorry
yawl crew had to wait, hungry, angry
and disappointed on the further banl
until another crew came to take then
down the river beyond the warning bel

William Allen White Declares -.
State Has Ceased to Bleed. ssss' I
Under the title Of Fifty Years !
Kansas" William Allen White tells 4

he says, Kansas was marked on A. a,

1t was a desert, indeed 1t Ia an N
land country chiefly, vast nlataan
veined sparsely with a few rivers that
were swollen with the floods Of snr.nr
and, through the season Of groyy,no
crops, oozed sluggishly in pools on the
parchtng white sand. Before ciyilizad
man came to grapple it, this desert lar

And now that Kansas has CON-

herself out Of debt; her proportion Of
rented farms is smaller than that of
any other state in the trans-Mfssouri
country. Seven-tenths Of the homes
Of the people are owned The rail.
road mileage of the state Is larger
than that of any other American state
in proportion to the population,
The per capita wealth Of Kansas
may not be larger than that of New
York, but Kansas wealth is more
evenly distributed. There are no rich
men-not dozen men in the state
worth more than ST 100000; not 200
worth 100000, but thousands worth
from $1,000 to $4,000, and scores
worth 100000. The money Of the
few Kansas rich men has been earned
and saved.
But the chief glory of Kansas Is
not her material wealth, but her
schools. In the amount of money
spent for schools in proportion to the
wealth and population of the state,
Kansas ranks fourteenth. The most
considerable item of the Kansan's
taxes are school taxes.

ut never rains but it pours," and
the action of the Presbyterian General
Assembly, forbidding the remarriage
of divorced persons by Presbyterian
ministers seems to have been re-echoed
all around the horizon. The Baptist
Home Mission Society has adopted
resolutions condemning all divorces eX-
cept for the scriptural cause and all
remarriage Of divorced persons except
the innocent parties to scriptural dt-
vorces. The committee of. the Metho
dist General Conference to which the
matter was referred has discussed and
rejected all grounds for divorce except
the scriptural ground. Bishop McLaren
in his opening address to the Illinois
Diocesan Convention made a feeling
allusion to the divorce evil, and the
subject forced itself in a meeting Of
the peace and arbitration committee Of
the w. G. T. u with the same effect.
The most noteworthy action Of ali,
however, was taken by the Federation
Of Women's Clubs. The bylaws Of
this organization make all Of the Wom-
en- who have served two years as pres
ident honary presidents. 1t hap
| pened that one Of these honorary
presidents was recently married to a
man who had been divorced only two
| weeks before. In order to express It's
disapproval Of her course the fedora
| ton changed the bylaw and made all
| who had served as presidents merely
"eligible" as honorary presidents, the
intention being to elect all Of them eX'
cept this obnoxious woman. From
| these almost simultaneous incidents it
| appears that the church and society,
| the two agencies that have more pow
er to purify the marital relation than
the law itself, are now fairly awake
to the necessity Of declaring them
selves in the most unmistakable terms
and Of exertlng all the disciplinary
| power they possess over their own
members to extirpate the social cancer
of the present day. In both Of these
movements 1t will be observed woman
Is the handspring, for the church is
| almost as much a Woman's institution
as the woman's clubs, and who should
originate this reaction If woman
should not? Woman Is the almost in
variable victim of divorce, and never
more so than when she Is bribed o.
| abused into seeking divorce. Woman
home and childhood are what Is
crushed in the modern divorce mill
and it Is no wonder that woman'f
voice should be first lifted for deliver
ance. Is all this parliamentary activity
mere Sound and fury, signifying moth
ing" or is it to bear fruit in a deter
mined onslaught on the evil? If any
thing is to be accomplished it will bt
through these religious and social or
CARNATIONS. That they are almost ON
nipotent in this field is unquestionable

AVOID STRAY NICKELS,
Small Coin Lost in Mails Worries
Clerks and Costs $1S.43.

Ordinarily no man Is rich enough to
which comes from picking up nickel
on a sidewalk, but for railway pos
tai clerk to find such coin in a mail
pouch where it has worked out from
insufficient wrappings, not only does
he miss this elation, but 1t may pro-
woke profanity.
For a nickel lost in pouch of muil
in transit becomes matter for ma
t1onal concern. 1t comes to view, per-
haps, just as pouch Of mail is emp
tied upon a sorting table, and when
it has broken away from the punches
of letters, and cards, and circulars,
rolled to an open space on the table,
and there settled down, heads or tails,
with a noisy spinning dance, the clerk
who first sees 1t Is 1t.
A necromancer could have no more
idea than the man in the moon as to
what particular package it rolled out
of, and If he had and should tell the
postal clerk, the clerk wouldn't dare
try to restore the coin to the original
| package. That would be too easy al
| together.
No, it is a lost nickel from the mo-
ment the clerk has to see it spinning
there before his eyes and according to
the tender governmental conscience the
clerk has to get ready for the inaugu-
ration of about $1S.49 worth of fuss
over it.
For himself he doesn't dare go tc
bed for a short nap until he has got
rid of his cents worth of RESPONSE
bility to the government for the action
of the fool person from whom the
nickel waG parted. He digs up his
printed form for such occasions, print

day needs, to dress properly, three
times as much money as her grand
mother, who in 1850 dressed well on

and prettily dressed women - our
wives, sisters and mothers, who have
but few dollars to spend for clothes.

The Michigan physician who puts
the annual money loss to the United
States from typhoid fever at $50,00O,-
600 is far from setting forth the full
truth. He reaches his estimate by
assuming $1,000 as the average value
Of the lives sacrificed and he omits all
account Of the money spent in the care
of non-fatal cases. The real value of
the lives lost--so far as such value can
be expressed in money-might proper
~ be rated at $4,000, and at least 500
ON the average must be spent on vic
Tins who recover. On this calculation,
assuming that the Michigan physician
is correct in his number of cases, the
annual loss to the country from ty,
phoid is nearly $3O0,000,00O.
