miles to Washington, carrying al
invitation from the people Of south

ever attempted and as feat of en-
durance 1t will be unparalleled.
4 A message received Monday nigh
from the San Antonio Light and Ca
zette stated that the man was to ride
through Abilene and that the Re-
Hector would be notified when to
expect him.
The invitation urging the nations
chief executive to visit San Antonio
will be signed by the governor of the
state, mayor Of the city, county and
city officials, the mayors Of thirty
one small cities In San Antonio's
country and thousands of the empire
builders of the southwest.
The cowboy courier is sent by the
San Antonio Light and Gazette. Ed
ward S. O'Reilly, who will make the
trip, in addition to being a seasoned
rider, is veteran newspaper man and
is at, present managing editor of the
Light and Gazette He has had an
unusual career as soldier IN Cuba,

Mr. O'Reilly is a native Of Texas

Two Thirds d the Township Has
Changed Hands in Eight Years.

In comparing the Dickinson county
atlas recently issued with the one
published by ogle q Co in 1901 we
notice a remarkable change In farm
ownership. Taking Buckeye town.
ship as an illustration 1t is found that
Of the 2S040 acres of land In that
township that 1890 acres have
changed ownership either by pur-
chase or descent since 1901 leaving
only 7640 acres or less owned by
the same persons who owned them
eight years ago. There is not a
section In the township in which some
land has not been sold in the past
eight years.
What has become of the old set
tiers? The familiar names Of farm
ers who still live in the township
such as Livingston, Zook, Middleton,
Cooley, Lightner, Underhin, Benni-
son, stoffer and Cress may be count
ed on the fingers of two hands. Some
have moved to the city and twenty
farms in Buckeye are now owned by
residents of Abilene. Only four
farms SO far as we can observe are
owned by non-residents of the state
and they are all former Dickinson
county people.
The tendency seems TO be slightly
oward smaller farms. In that town
hip in 1901 there were 1876 farms.
Tnere are now 14O farms averaging
"a 1-2 acres each.

A CoRRoBORATIoN.
OF Interest to Abilene Readers.

For months Abilene citizens, have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise Of Doan's Kidney Pills b.
Abilene residents. Would these
prominent people recommend a rem
edy that had not proven reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed If personal
experience had not shown the remedy
to be worthy Of endorsement! No
stronger proof of merit can be had
than cure sthat have stood the test
of time. The following statement
should carry conviction to the mind
of every Abilene reader.
Mrs. Laura Miller, sos W. North
Sixth street. Abilene, Kan, SAYS:

Pills today as when 1 endorsed them

The statement referred to by Mrs.
Miller was as follows; 81 can speak
in the highest terms Of Doan's Kid

doings. Since the election, they have
been quietly at work. Last Sunday,
Marshal AlIAnmade his usual rounds
but found 10 evidence Of anything
going on Inside the city. Later in |

The other day heard fellow account
for his poor position in life by saying
that ''luck had always been against
him." Ten minutes later | ran across
a fellow who said luck had nothing to
do with it. The fellow who laid it all
to luck was lazy and when Opportun-
ity had knocked he was asleep and re-
fused to arise He went out in the
pasture and sat down on stone and
waited for the COWS to back up to him
to be MIXED. The fellow who said
there was nothing to luck was we'll off ;
in his early days he got up with the
chickens and worked like blazes all
day long. He spent his daylight hours
with his hands on an axe handle in
stead of a billiard cue. The fellow
who was failure wouldn't work for
dollar and half day; he was always
waiting for harvest so he could get two
dollars. The other fellow worked all
the time and when he couldn't get two
dollars he took one. This thing of luck
in every day life is mostly moonshine.
You will notice that the fellows whom
the failures call lucky have generally
been hustlers in One way or another.
Luck is simply another name for hard
work, sobriety, decency, honesty and
economy. Elk.
