From.A Car window.

j. ID. Brown who 10 out on atrip
writes the Globe Republican 90 follows:
Hearing so many complaints Of farm
ers about crope, your correspondent when
leaving Dodge City made 1t a special
object to note the condition OF country
and farmers distance OF abou. 400
miles east and north.
A change was noted In crops soon
after leaving Kinsley, Good crops Of
wheat begin to appear, the straw short,
heads good length AVID the fields attrac.
tive. IT., farther east we went water
begaL 9appear In pools and small lakes
and helos of wheat standing water and,
especially where the wheat had been
long standing In water, was dead. The
burrows Of listed corn In places were
filled with water WOrA was abandon
ed in the corn relds and In many places
weeds and grass 0ishe than the corn and
no prospect of cultlvatiug The crop FOOD.
Passing through Edwards, Stafford,
Reno and Harvey counties the vast fields
OF good wheat were seen al, or The
route. After passing Harvey county
corn fields became more numerous and
wheat fields less. The same condition Of
flooded fields existed. No work Of any
kind could be seen.
After leaving Topeka on the Atcbison
branch OF the Santa Fe the flooded co.,
dition of the country became more
Obstructive and more standing water In
fields and pastures Although the fields
were high rolling yet the very highes
was too wet to cultivate.
Many fields we're passed where corn
planting had been begun and abandoned.
General depression prevails, many claim
ing that If June proves as vet as May
no paying corn crop can be raised
Your writer was ia two storms at
'oeheca tnat were accompanied with
terrific rolls of thunder and fearful
strokes Of lightning. When the rain
was pouring down in b hiding sheets
the awful roar of thunder was incessant.
The people 10 Ford county would
have no complaint if they knew the con-
dition the farmers are in for over three
hundred miles east of here.

Human Affection.

What is the best thing in life!
l queried recently. l have raised the
same question aforetime, and found
the majority of responses leaned tc
human affection" Surely there is
nothing that comes to us by the grace
of God so helpful as the friend who
may be a husband, wife, sister OF
a brother, who knows the best of us
and the worst Of us, and who can
love us Still ready to stand by us
till the morning when our craft IL
grounded in the shadows or is help
lessly stationary in maelstrom vortex,
when we need all the strength our
God can give, simply to live, my
friend, simply to live. How rare
friends are one soon realizes, and how
priceless no words can duly say

There are great things in store
for you," said the fortune teller to the

obstacles to overcome. There is a
woman continually crossing your path,
large woman with dark hair and
eyes. She will dog your footsteps un-
tiringly."
Yes; know who that is"

alternative of starving to death or
undergoing an operation needful to
remove sixteen inches of intestine,
John E. Muse took the latter and not
only survived it but has been restored
