MY brother Orion was always
dreaming; he was a dreamer from
birth, and this characteristic got him
into trouble now and then" says
Mark Twain in his autobiography now
running in the North American Re
view
He was always enjoying things in
advance; it was the make Of him. He
never could wait for the event, but
must build IL out OF dream stuff and
enjoy It beforehand - consequently
sometimes when the event happened
he saw that II was not as good as the
one he had invented in his imagina-
ton. and so he had lost profit by not
keeping the imaginay one and letting
the reality go.
''Once, when he was % or "a yea -
old, he conceived the romantic idea OF
coming home to visit his fathers fam
ily at Hannibal, without giving us no
tice, in order that he might surprise
Us. If he had given notice he would
have been informed that we had
changed our residence and that the
gruH old bass-vOiced safl5rman, DR..
G., our family physician. was living in
our former home, and that C-iUn's
former room was occupied by Dr.. G.'s
two middle-aged maiden sisters.
He arrived by steamboat In the
middle Of the night, his mind all on
fire with the romantic project and
building and enjoying his surprise in
advance
When he arrived at the house he
went around to the back door and
slipped on his boots and crept up
stairs and arrived at the room OF
these elderly ladies without having
wakened any sleepers. He undressed
in the dark and got into bed and sEug-
gled up against somebody. He was
little surprised, but not much-for he
thought it was our brother Ben. It
was winter, and the bed was comfort
able, and the supposed Ben added to
the cOmfOrt-and so he was dropping
on to sleep very well satisfied with
his progress 50 far, and full OF happy
dreams OF what was going to happen
in the morning. But something else
was going to happen sooner than that,
and it happened row.
The maid that was being crowded
fumed and fFetted and struggled, and
presently came 20 q haR-Wakfng con-
dition and protested against the
cTowding. That voice paralyzed Orion.
He cOuldn' move a limb; he couldn't
get his breath; and the crowded one
discovered his new whfskers and began
to scream. This removed the paraly-
sis, and Orion was out OF bed and
clawing around IN the dark for his
clothes in a fraction Of a second Both
maids began to cream, then, so Orion
did not wait to get all his wardrobe
He started with such parts OF it as
he could grab.
'On the stairs he met the doctor,
h0 ~
those deep-sea-gOing bass tones he ex-
planned to Orion the change that had
been made and informed him where
he would find the Clemens family, and
closed with some quite unnecessary
advice about posting himself before
he undertook another adventure like
that-advice which Orion probably
never needed again as long as he
lived

Harger on the Country Editor.

The Country Editor Of Today gets
his dues in a spirited and entertaining
article OF that title in the January
Atlantic; and in view Of the fact that
the author, Charles N. Harger, is the
man who runs the Daily Reflector, out
in Abilene, Kan, the reader can be
pretty sure that he's getting some Of
the straight facts Of the case. Harger
doesn't apologize for his profession
When you consider" he remarks,
that the country paper is owned by
its editor, and that the city man who
writes the funny things about it is
owned by the corporation for which
he writes-the country editors lot
doesn't seem so sad. Don't waste your
pity on him He viii get along" Most
amusing is the account he gives Of
some OF the country editors trials
the odd and impossible requests that
are made Of him, the abuse he gets
from disgruntled subscribers; but there
are cOmpensations, and great ones. No
individual in the community comes
closer to its very life, or has a bigger
part to play in its progress. And then
there is the personal side Of his work,
the good words he can say for his
friends, the kind and generous notices
he can write Of those TO whom death
comes-notices that viii be treasured
for years in family bibles when the
pretentious city papers have gone into
oblivion

WEATHER MAN WRONG.
Records Shows More Rain and Less
Wind I'm Kansas

Records Shows More Rain and Less
Wind I'm Kansas.
Willis l. Moore, chief Of the wealth
er bureau at Washington, viii have
to back up on his claim that the eli
mate in Kansas has not changed in
recent years A few days ago he de-
clared that there was no more rain
fall in Kansas now than thirty or for
ty years ago, and that there was just
as much wind out here as ever.
The Kansas university has run a
weather bureau for the past thirty
four years Representative Scott to-
day received the weather records Of
Kansas covering that period For
comparison purposes the thirty7-fOur
years period was divided into two
period Of seventeen years each. The
records show that the average annual
blow Of wind for the last seventeen
years was 5000 miles less than the
average annual blow Of the previous
seventeen years.
The records also show that the aver
age annual rainfall for the last sew
enteen years was three inches greater
than the average annual rainfall Of
the first seventeen years
Ex-ChancellOr Snow, in a letter in
closing the record, declares that the
wind had so moderated in recent years
that the old Dutch windmill near the
State university, one OF the old land
marks Of Kansas, had to quit business.

Syracuse, n. Y, a Methodist institu-

city. IN his address he Iauded the
trusts and denounced their fnyestiga-

bitter against labor unions
Now the chancellor OF a denomina-

But before I would vote the demo-

Kansas on the pOpulist ticket, told the
editor Of this paper that to ascertain
whether the bishop had been correct

THE CRY OF WOLF.

From Topeka Capital
Omcials Of Missouri railroads are
now at Jefferson City to show Mis-
souri's legislature that a z-cent fare
would be. cOnhscatOry. Officials Of Ohio
railroads did the same thing in Ohio,
but Ohio adopted the 2-cent fare, and
the roads have not yet either been con-
ascated or appealed to the courts, but
are doing. business on the 2-cent fare.
IN Missouri no doubt they explain that
Ohio is very. different; but that is not
what they said in Ohio. In Michigan
the legislature some years ago adopt
ed a graduated fare down to 2 cents.
The railroads made such protest that
the average, unsOphisticated citizen ex-
pected to see them go into bankruptcy.
As matter OF fact, they accepted the
law. In Iowa maximum freight
charges were adopted by the legis-
lature, the railroad officials asserting
that If It were done the railroad busi-
ness might as well be closed. out in
Iowa, but the railroads went ahead
under the maximum law and have
been prOsperfng under it for nine
teen years Governor Cummins OF
Iowa and Governor Hanly OF Indiana
have put strong arguments to the
legislature in behalf Of a 2-cent fare
law, and railroad officials in Iowa and
Indiana are explaining that it viii be
