'KANsAN AWAY FROM HOME
It Is Not Long Before He Begins to
- u. Yearn for His Old Habitu-
.'. ton.

Occasionally n good man grows dissat-
tisied with Kansas. The milk Is too
yellow or the honey too sweet and he
doesn't like them to flow over his land
anyway, says the Seneca Tribune. SO
he parts with his farm. sells his live
stock, and "other things too numerous
to mention" and moves to Oklahoma.
There he takes his good ! ansas money
and buys n farm which to-day Is and to-
morrow is not, because the wind has
blown 1t away. Or he tries Colorado
and slushes around in the mud irrigat-
Ing u strip Of bottom so narrow that n
COW can't Jump into the field because
she jumps over II.
Then he hears Of Texas and goes down
to hunt the bag OF gold at the rainbow
IN the daytime 10 scratches sandburs
out OF his flesh and at niPht centipedas
crawl over his face. When his money
IS all gone he begins to feel like he did
the first night he yer stayed away from
home.
He yearus for good old Kansas and
the ynarn sticks I'm his throat aud chokes
him until tears come in his eyes. He
would give n months work to sec the
COWS standing at the bars on his old
Kansas farm and hear the horn blow for
supper.
Memory Is n marvellous painter and
paints best the things we love best. 1t
pictures to the traveller the corn silking
In the field he one owned. the wheat
following for the harvest. the clover
stretching away In Il carpet of red and
green. richer than the rug Of Persians.
IT shows him the elms as they whispered
to his children Mt play beneath them,
points to the roses In the corner OF the
old rail fence, and in infinite detail
paints n thousand things that touches
the heart and proves its whimsical
power. ~ .
Happy is the man WHO wakes from
sleep to find that he hiss wandered from
Kansas only In his drti ms. 49,.

orl.In Of Po.,... s,.mp..

Quite recently there has been more OF
less dicusslon as ~ the origin of the
postage stamp
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the post office
department at Washington.
1t appears that about IS years ago
Rowland Hill was travelling through onc
Of the northern districts oi England and
for a time was soiourning at an inn
where the post maj came with a letter
for a young miss, who turned it over
and over in her hand aud after oxamin-
ing the envelope infinitely inquired
the price OF the p,'tage, which
was a shilling. She sighed sadly and
returned the letter to the post man. say
ing that it was from her b;o,ller bur tina,
che had no mJney.
MIR. Hill was an oniooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the postage
and his action seemed to embarrHss the
girl. When the postman had gone che
told Mr.. Hill that some signs marked on
the EN- velupe conveyed to her all she
wanted to know and TINT ns n TACT the re-
no wiring inclosed. In extenua
ton she said that she and her brother
had contrived Il code system OF com.
m~unicstinR, as neither OF them were
able ~ pay post charger.
Mr., Hill thought OF the results of q
system which made such frauds possible,
Before another day he bad planned a
