SOME THINGS THAT DID 1T.

1t is within the memory of many of
our citizens that only few years
ago the cities of Wichita, Yutchin-
son and Salina we're small villages
with no better prospects for COM
mercial expansion and growth than
Great Bend, St. John and Medicine
Lodge. They possessed no superior
natural advantages and were sur
rounded by no better country.
They were, however, quick to rec
ognize the advantages of railroads
and they offered every possible in.
ducement to any railroad proposing
to build through the country to com e
their way. They extended aid to
these roads by voting bonds, raising
cash bonuses, granting lands for
terminal, and in other ways, and they
got the roads.
With these railroads came an in.
tidx Of people. These people wanted
to buy land, to build homes and to
help develop the country. They be-
came permanent settlers. The small
villages soon became towns and the
towns grew rapidly into cities.
Wholesale houses, packing plants,
salt works, manufacturing concerns
and other enterprises were establish.
ed.
| With the growth iu population
came natural advance in the price
of lands and all other property.
Home markets were built up for the
butter. eggs, poultry, fruit, vegetables
and all products of the farm. In,
stead of selling for shipment and
trading produce for merchandise, the
farmers sold for cash for hore con.
sumption. They took the cash to
the big stores that came with the
growth of the country and the in.
cereased population and selected
hatthey wanted from larger stocks
than the towns could afford when
smaller and when the country was
more thinly settled and the people
had fewer advantages and less money.
Today nearly everything that is
sold from the stores IN those cities is
shipped in by the car load or train
load. They have their own whole
sale grocers, druggists and genera
dealers, and fhe people get the bene.
fit of lower freight rates and cheaper
goods as a result. Those merchants
are even now carrying on large mai
, order business and are competing
, with our local dealers in that way
t and they are abe to do so because
our dealers must buy in smalle
S quantities and carry lighter stocks

IF the Father deigns to touch with
divine power the cold and pulseless
heart of a buried acorn and make it
burst forth from its prison walls, will
he leave neglected the soul of man, who
was made in the image of his Creator2
If he stoops to give to the rosebush,
whose withered blossoms float upon the
autumn breeze, the sweet assurance of
another springtime, will he withhold
the words of hope from the souls of men

Cure For Drinking Men.

There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit and that is the
simplest of all. The cure consists in
eating fruits. That will cure the worst
case Of inebriety that ever afflicted
person. 1t will entirely destroy the
taste for intoxicants and will make the
drunkard return to the thoughts and
tastes of his childhood. when he loved
the Injuries nature had provided for
him, when his appetite had not become
contaminatedIby false cultivated tastes
and attendant false. desires aud imag-
mary pleasures. No person ever saw
manor woman with appetite for drink
who liked fruit. The two tastes are
deadly enmity with each other. and there
is no room for both of them in the same
human constitution. One will certainly
destroy the other.

Bob Burdette's Philosophy.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle the pick,
pen, or wheelbarrow, or set of books,
digging bitches or editing newspaper,
ringing an auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself by overwork-
ing on the sunny side of thirty. Men
die sometimes, but il is because they
quit at 6p. m. and don't get home till
a. m. It's the internal that kills, my
son. The work gives you appetite for
your slumber gives you perfect and
grateful appreciation Of a holiday.
There are young men who do network,
but the country is not proud of them.
It does not know their names even; 1t
only speaks of them as ''old so'and'
SOS boy" Nobody likes them; the
great, busy world doesn't know that
they are here. So find out what you
are to be and take Off your coat and
make dust In the world. The buster
you are the less harm you are apt to
get into, the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holidays,
and better satisfied the world will be
with you.
