is dry, rough land, where springs are
none and streams are few. and cattle
and sheep will dry by droves and
hocks if the clank of the pump does
not sound it's note in unbroken monoto
ny for days and weeks and months at
stretch.
Hence the mill that drives the pump
must not be a faltering windmill, but
must be ever true to its task as the
weary time rolls on. The American
windmill has built up a reputation for
always being there with the goods, 9th
erwise the water. and the consequence
is that the cattle kings of western Aus
tralia will have them even il they cost
20 per cent more than any other. The
United States consuls there report that
the Australian manufacturers have
tried repeatedly to duplicate the Yam
kee article, but have never yet turned
out mill which will command the
confidence of the men who own the cat
tie, which must have the water that
the mills have to pump.

A Sleeping Car Name.

The Champaign Times mentions there
was a Pullman sleeping car in that
town one day this week and that on its
sides it bore the name "Quantzinteco
matZin.'' The name was too much for
the railroad experts in Champaign, who
called in professors from the univer,
sity. These threw up their hands and
called in the aid of the colored porter
He took a long and wise look at the
name and then tainted away. Thus
ended the story.
We were given to understand that
the christening department of the Pull
man works had been reformed. Either
this must be a mistake or the Cham
paign people must have run across a
car of the vintage of 1880. However.
the statute of limitations does not run
against crime as serious as that name,
so it is moved that Governor Deneen
fine the Pullman company that $780,
100000 he failed to collect from the
Illinois Central railroad.

said Mr.. Holmes, "and when mother
asks you where you've been, tell her
you've been walking on the beach with
Oliver Wendell Holmes" The great
name was absolutely unknown to the
child. but she recognized a courtesy in
the words of her stranger friend and
was not to be outdone. His pleasant
bow and smile acquired a quaint grav-

piled: And when you go home and

MORE BUILDINGS NEEDED.
The 'short Grass" Town Of Grainfeld
Growing Like Weed.

Grainfield, kan, June 2.-One of the
sh ort grass towns which is making a
good gain In population and building is
Grainheld. in Cove county. A large
number Of buildings are under way,
cement sidewalks are being put down,
and the town has increased in popula-
ton. And Cove county is going to
raise a good wheat crop.
Times are SO good in Grainf1eld
that I have already booked fourteen
theatrical companies for the fall and
winter" said H. F, Stimits. manager of
the opera house. And. by the way,
the scarcity of buildings in Grainheld
necessitates the occupation of tn
opera house for business purposes at
this time. The stage is occupied by a
full line of undertaker's goods, the
main hall is filed with a large display
Of buggies, while other parts of the
hall are used for the printing office and
a doctors office
H F. stinits carries a general stock
of hardware and harness. wall paper
etc. amounting to about $4,000. His
sales in 1905 aggregated about $37 600.
So far this year he has sold about
$1,000 worth of harness. Farmers are
getting along 50 nicely they can afford
a new set of harness. Mr.. Stimirs has
unlimited confidence in Grainfield and
that portion of Cove county tributary
doubled his stock and business.
Other business men who have the
greatest confidence in Grainfeld are
Colonel S. 3. Reynolds. T. F. Poole,
". J. Heiney T. L. Fike. J. W. Hop
kins. George S. Dryer J. B. ReaI and
J. c. Houser. They are the pioneers
who stayed through grasshopper visi-
tatiOns and hot winds. They have wit
messed their disappearance, and for
many years have been on the high
way Of prosperity. Not one Of them
would leave Grainfield except that he
could sell for double what they in
vested at the start.
George S. Dryer. the most popular
and noted landlord west of Salina, ha-
sold the Occidental hotel, which was
erected in 1879. to 7 C. Houser. It
was built and owned by Mr.. Dryer and
]. B. BeaI, and operated Jointly until
1890, when the former retired. Nearly
every prominent officeholder and poll
tician in Kansas has eaten and slept
under its roof including governors,
United States senators and congress-
men. Mr.. Dryer was the first treasur-
er of Cove county, in 1886, serving one
term. He was again elected to this
Office in 1891 Politically, Mr.. Dryer
is a Democrat. The Occidental was
sold for $4,000. one-half being cash.
He was also juror in the noted Hill
mon life insurance case in 1895 the
trial lasting eleven weeks Mr. DRYER
has no intention of leaving Grainheld
for keeps, but he and Mrs. Dryer will
visit the south and east during the
summer.
The town is surrounded with fine
farms and prosperous farmers, and
healthy as any country can be. It has
a State bank. lumber yard. two gen
eral stores, newspaper drug store. two
hardware stores and implement deal
ers, one of which carries harness, un-
dertakerfs goods wall paper and rnu-
sical Instruments.
Tt bids fair to grow more this year
than in the last several years.
