Agricultural Prosperity.


Signs multiply pointing to another
year of agricultural prosperity. From
every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer
ing. The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great ~grain-pro-
ducing states, and that
"the years wheat crop will be a
bumper one, despite reports Of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
nost wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage eve
planted, with the growing grain classi-
fed at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har-
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition of winter wheat
is 100, while Minnesota and South Da.
kota seem certain of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in un.
usually fine condition. In some parts
of the middle west there has been q
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought, but the general outlool
is most reassuring. And a big yeal
for crops means steadiness and conf
dence in commercial circles.

Portraits of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And it has been the
custom, considered a wise one, to use
no portraits of live men even on the
currency and the stamps. In England,
as soon as King Edward succeeded
Queen Victoria, the queens face gave
way to that of Edward on all the coins
and stamps in the British empire.

1t is interesting to know that the
Golden Rose Of Virtue, which the pope
has decided to bestow on the queen
of Spain, and which was first pre-
scented by Pope Urban VI. to Johanna
Of Sicily, is a mimic plant Of pure gold
standing in a golden pot. The leaves
of the plant are set with small dia-
monds in imitation OF dew drops. A
palm leaf blessed by the pope is set
in the central flower. Among the liv-
ing %princesses who possess the Golden
Rose are Queen Christina Of Spain
and ex-Empress Eugene. 1t is the
highest order that the pope can con
fer on a Catholic princess.

BUILDING a Fire.

It sounds unreasonable to say that
some persons do not know how to
build a coal fire, and yet there are a
great many who cannot do so. In
variably the fire dies down and event
ually goes out. 1t is caused by i'm
proper draft in the stove. The wood
is thrown in lengthwise, coal thrown
on with a little oil, and when the
match is applied the fire burns only
until the oil has burned off the wood
and coal. First place in a few sticks
of wood, not enough to cover the bot
tom of the crate, break small pieces
and lay ~crosswise, then put on the oil,
if you use kerosene, and there will be
no difficulty in making the fire burn.
Another way is to place the kindling
in funnel shape. This is especially
good in furnaces, since the funnel
causes a strong draft as soon as the
wood starts to burn. This will remedy
the trouble you have every morning in
starting the coal fire.

immigration statistics Just made
public in Honolulu confirm the influx
Of Japanese into this country by way
of Hawaii. During the year 1906, 1887
Japanese arrived in Honolulu from
Japan, which exceeded the immigra-
ton of the previous year by more
than threefold. The number Of Japa-
nese leaving Hawaii for the Pacific
coast during 1906 was 1887.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HOT IRON.
Ordinary Glass or Mirror May Be
Pressed Into Service.

IICooGd INV 0GiNiNSs
It may not always be convenient to
have a hot iron at hand to press a
small piece just at the moment one
needs it, but the difficulty may be
readily remedied if the material is a
wash goods. If thoroughly wet, not
dampened, and spread out on a win
dow pane, mirror or marble slab it
will be dry in a few moments, and
will not only be as smooth as if ironed,
but the under side will have an actual
gloss. The material should be thor
oughly wet, even dripping, and should
be smoothed the way Of the grain, both
up and down and across, with a clean
piece of old white muslin. If the sun
be very hot one cannot use a window
pane, as the water dries out before
one has time to make the bit stick"
1t will often be found convenient to
dry a washed-out handkerchief on
ones mirror, and if carefully folded
and placed under a book it will look
as well as if ironed. In fact, many
women who travel carry always in
their trunk a pane of glass upon which
to dry a handkerchief now and again.

So, young man, you have de-
cided that you have had enogh
schooling, have you? You feel
that you are too old to go to
School-that a fellow can get
along if he can read, and write
and spell little. Perhaps you
can, but this kind of reasoning
will lead you to make consum-
mate fool of yourself. You can
plow with a crooked stick, har-
vest with sickle and eat from a
wooden platter, but you would
instantly see the absurdity of
such crude methods. Yet it is
no more absurd than your rea-
soning about getting along with
poorly developed unframed
mind. Don't forget, that it's the
mind that makes the man. An
education will develop the mind
and unlock the mental treasures
of the world to you and enable
will increase your efficiency a
thousand fold and enable you to
perform tasks more easily, which
were impossible before. No,
don't talk to me about the num-
ber of years that you will waste
in order to get an education. No
matter how long it requires, time
is never wasted in getting pre-
pared. When the Greeks were
beseiging Troy in olden times,
and were about to make an at
tack, they asked the Gods" for
an omen that would make them
certain of success, and the Gods"
answered in one voice, get fully
prepared" Ten or even twenty
years are not lost when spent in
intelligent preparation So then
I would earnestly advise you to
get fully prepared so that you
may do your work with a master
hand and mind -Mankato Mon

had to get up from twelve to
twenty times a night, and [ was
all bloated up with dropsy and
my eye sight was so impaired 1
could scarcely see one of my
family across the room, l had
given up hope of living, when a

dropsy had gone, as well as all

CANT Be SEPARATED.
Some Wa-Keensy People Have Learned How

Bachache and kidney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the
backache until you cure the kid
ney ache
If the kidneys are well and
strong, the rest of the system
is pretty sure to be in vigorous
health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make
strong healthy kidneys.
D. Pershing, farmer, living 10
miles southeast of Wa-Keeney,
Kan, says: MY wife has been
using Doan's Kidney Pills with
great success. She has had sew
eral bad spells of kidney ailment
and getting down in her back SO
that she could scarcely get
around. The action of the kid
ney secretions at those times
were very irregular but mostly
scant and painful Since she be-
gan taking Doan's Kidney Pills
which 1 got for her at w w Glib

a great change for the better and
I very rarely hear anything
about backache."

GOOD INSTITUTIONS AND POETRY
Spoiled by an Unfortunate Mixing of
Packages.

We copy the following from the
(Voda Boomerang) edited by one
the Woodchucks:
Wouldn't this jolt the loving
little birds off the boughs? A few
days ago young High Scool stu
dent, accompanied by his sister,
visited store to purchase a gift
for his sweetheart as birthday
present Thinking a book or a
box of bOnbonS too common, he
decided to give her pair of
gloves and made his purchase
accordingly, while his sister
bought a pair of fancy stockings
for herself. Both gloves and
stockings were wrapped in SINH
lar packages. In some way the
bundles became mixed, and the
young man, not knowing the
mistake, sent his sweetheart the
stockings accompanied by the
following note:
DeareSt---: l hope you
will enjoy this little present, in
stead of foolish. Oh how l wish
no other hands than mine would
SNSI UllC1l oIUCI yOo CoO
them on, but 1 know, dear. that
such a wish is vain. A score of
fellows may touch them when 1
am not at your side, and other
eyes than mine may see them on
the street and at parties. I
bought the largest pair could
get, and if they are too long, you
can let them wrinkle down. A
great many of the girls wear
them slipped down a little. AL
ways wear them at parties. I
want to see how they fit. Some
fellows have dirty hands, and
they are likely to soil them, but
you can clear them, dear, with
benzine, if you leave them on till
dry. [ hope they are not too
small. Blow in them before you
put them on.
From your loving--.
The engagement is off, and if
the unfortunate young man ever
shows his mug in that end of
town he will get it knocked off by
the man-like fist of Dearest
Ones Father
