Surprises.

was less than 1900. The farmers did
not turn out. 1t is the wrong sea-

1t takes lots of nerve to make good
press agent-but Leland's confederates
with headquarters at Topeka certainly
take the cake for unprecedented liber-
atty. They offer to ''let publishers
use Leland campaign plates free of
charge" Many of the country editors
have, either for political reasons or out
of sympathy, published this boiler-plate
matter extoling the beautiful character
and wonderful integrity of Cyrus Lee
land, Jr., republican candidate for gov
ernOr of Kansas. From what his press
agents say, tits our opinion that Leland
has better qualifications for a Sunday
School superintendent than for gov
ernOr of the great state of Kansas.

''For shave: Is cents" This was
the decree that went forth from Hays
Cty's two barber shops last Saturday.
This will not interest many of the la
dies, but it is of vital moment to their
''better halves" big brothers, etc.
Whether a barber earns Is cents, o.
whether he is entitled to but 10 cents,
for his nigh-impossible task of making
the sterner sex more acceptable and
pleasing to the eyes of their fairer sis
tiers is matter solely dependent upon
the customer. So, in our opinion, when
the barber gets to basing his charges
on the length, strength and age of his
customers facial adornments he will
have hit upon the only fair method.

10 Save Them the postose.

Pensioners of the government, about
l, 900, 900 in round numbers, will mail
vouchers to the pension agencies in
penalty envelopes, commencing with
the next payment. This will mean a
loss to the postal service in reduced
revenues of about $50, 600 year, and a
corresponding saving to the veterans.
There are four payments year re-
quiring the transmission of four vouch-
ers, or about eight cents in postage for
each pensioner. This is authorized by
an act passed by Congress last session,
which requires the pension agents TO
send with each voucher which the pen
sioner is required to fill out and return,
a penalty envelope"
As the August payments have al
ready been sent out by most of the
pension agents, the order will go into
effect with the November payments =

A Railroad Mans PRAYER.

An old railroad employee was con-
verified at meeting and was asked to
lead in prayer. He hesitated moment
then with trembling but clear re-
sounding voice he said reverently: go,
Lord now that have tagged Thee,
lift up my feet from the rough road of
life and plant them safely on the deck
of the train of salvation. Let me use
the safety lamp known as prudence and
all the couplings in the train with the
link of love and let my hand lamp be
the Bible. And Heavenly Father, keep
all the switches closed that lead off on
the sidings, especially those with a
blind end. o, Lord, if it be thy pleas
ure, have every semaphore block along
the line show the white light of hope
that l may make the run of life with
out stopping. And Lord, give US the

We have all heard how immensely
wealthy and powerful the Standard Oil
Co. has become, and yet we may learn,
if we will, that what our farmers earn
in seventeen days out of the year would
buy the entire Standard Oil Co. One
fairly good American harvest would
suffice to purchase the whole of Belgium
and still leave us comfortable margin
of cash. Two harvests would purchase
Italy; three harvests would pay for
Austria, and five harvests-if we could
get the cash in hand-would pay for the
whole of Russia Why, even the mod
est American hen is so gigantic bird
that in one year she produces more
than the entire revenues of Portugal
and Spain. What the American farm
er has furnished for export alone since
1892-just the stuff he raised and could
not possibly consume at home would
enable him to buy every foot of rail-
road and all the railroad equipment in
America. The money earned by the
American farmer through the medium
of the hog would pay the salaries of all
the mOnarchs of Europe; and one years
corn crop would not only buy out the
harvester trust, but also serve to build
three New York subways.
