REFLECTIONS Of A BACHELOn
LFrom the New York Pvess.l

LFrom the New York Pvess.l
A man is always ready to reform if
there is no way to avoid It
one of the very hardest things is to
act as if you believed the things you
say you do.
A woman has an awful irritating
way of being sweet when you want
her to be cross so you can have a
grievance about it.
Men spend so much time getting
square with other people that they
never have any time to keep other
people from getting square with them.
A man has to be a good deal of a
pessimist not to enjoy life when he
comes home late at night and can
find d piece of cold apple pie in the

Draining of the EvereIades.

The department of agriculture is
specially interested in the project now
on foot for draining the Everglades
an enterprise by which vast areas in
Southern Florida will be made avail
able for truck gardening. These half
flooded swamps to the south of the
huge pond known as Lake Okeechobee
are to be converted into dry and pro-
ductive land by constructing dykes and
ment which. when carried into effect
will bring about the shipment q dozen
years from now. of immense supplies
of tomatoes, new potatoes, cabbages
string beans, and other fresh garden
produce to northern markets all
through the winter. It has even been
suggested that Lake Okeechobee might
be drained by connecting it with the
Atlantic Ocean by a canal fifty miles
long, thus redeeming 100000 addi-
tional acres of first-class farming ter
ritory.- September Outing Magazine.

FROM Q. s. FINCH.

IN an impassioned burst Of oratory at
Cherryvale the other day Governor
Hoch said he was going to do his duty
and close the saloons, even if he failed
to get a second term. That is good talk,
great talk, and 1t was made in a county
where Tom Wagstaff has done the only
saloon closing that has occurred in
Kansas, and he did it without the ad-
vice, consent. or assistance of Governor
Hoeh. If Mr. Hoch means Just what
he says, let him go to Leavenworth and
make that speech.-Lawrenee Gazette.

There seems to be this about the
