Of cottonwoods have sprung up. ViSof@
Gus and green, standing no less than
80 feet high In spots, on top of the
upland, the grass is exceptionally
green, and wherever these little GASES
occur, pick and shovel Will I'M
cover living water at a depth OF a few
feet These things the writer hereof
has seen on Syracuse creek, and MI
Henry Block, editor of the Syracuse
Journal, testifies that similar springs
break out of the banks of the other
creeks enumerated above
These springs are always on the
west side of the creeks, never on the
east side. Mr.. Block says they occur
only where the Dakota sandstone
crops out, and from the pores of this
stone the water flows and comes down
the creek bed until it sinks in the
sand That it is the same water found
in the depth of the Santa Fe well in
Syracuse is apparent from taste and
use, and being so far away from the
fiat land of the river valley it is an in
dication at least that the same flow
of water, by boring, some day will be
found remote. from that stream. At
least it is sufficient for the Atch1son,
Topeka & Santa Fe to continue its
subterranean explorations. Sufficient
soft water for locomotive use has
been found near the track in the flats
of the valley, but water, if found in
abundance in the upland, will make
additional crops, and crops make bust
ness for. the company, and SO the COM
pany will widen its scope of explora-
ton and look for water wherever
signs may invite it's drillers.

AN INCIDENT AT ~ouR cLue.n
The Proud and Happy Papa Seeks 4
"Seconder" for His Son.

Our club is not large one and we
rather pride ourselves that it is not.
Our club is on a side street and we
rather pride ourselves that we are
not upon the avenue, says Arthur Cos
slett Smith in Scribner's. There is
an active but small minority that
claim that we hug ourselves because
we are not as other men are, that
we have not what some other clubs
have-a mortgaged house, stock
ticker, a keen man at the door who
can get you a box in a horseshoe at
the opera or next the ropes at a prize
fight, cardroom where men may
play for stakes they cannot afford
to lose and which, if they lose. they
pay, if they pay at all, when next
they win, thus making a clearing
house with no governors
1t will be seen that we are, perhaps.
| a trif1e old-fashioned, but the fact re-
mains that when one of us has male
child born the father takes a cab
not an electric; we are still bit
skittish about self-propelled vehicles
and drives to the club. Arrived. he
marches to the big book on the table
and enters for membership the little
| lobster hued, blinking, whining bit OF
protoplasm that he calls my SON.
| Thea he looks about him for a sec
1 ondei. If it be the late afternoon
the bishop may be there If not. there
| is little cardroom on the first floor
and where no younger member ven
lures until half past six, when the
game ends. Between the deals the
father beckons to the admiral, the
general, the banker or the judge (ths

To Study Newspaper Business.

The work of the newspaper classes
of the University of Kansas during
the coming year promises to be more
attractive than in either of the two
years preceding. Last year the class
had "a members. The number of stu

probable that fully as many will be
in the class this year. The work is
taken as a part of the regular arts
course and only freshmen and seniors
are engaged in the newspaper writing
classes. AS last year, c. M. Harger
will have charge of the direct instruc-
ton and will meet the class regular
