KANSAS COMMENT

WINTER EVENINGS IN COUNTRY.
The long winter evenings in the ru-
raj districts not only afford ample OPP
portun1ty for sociability, but also for
planning those improvements that al
most every community needs. Many
school buildings need painting with
out and within, better ventilation and
equipment. and better kept GROUNDS.
Scarcely anything makes such q bad
impression as neglected school mouse
and grounds, and nothing leaves
more favorable impression than
neat, attractive looking building and
grounds Kept in good order and en-
bellished with a few shrubs and trees
The direct refining influence of such
conditions upon the children who at
tend and upon the homes from which
those children come is also beneficial
to a much greater extent than many
suppose.
Oftentimes one improvement leads
to another When one is accomplish
ed the new spirit awakened de-
mands that others be carried out, and
that is well for the more attractive
country life can be made the greater
the 1nducement for people to remain
on their farms and for others to re-
main to get back to the land. With
the installation of rural postal deliV-
cry, telephones and other modern adj
vantages country life is no longer iso-
lated as III former years, and if the
spirit of neighborly enterprise can be
more fully aroused, and If the school
house is made the social center for
the neighborhood, rural life should be

A TRUTHFUL ASSERTION.
The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of loaflng around on the
streets at night. 1t is then they cast
their lot in slippery places when at any
moment they are likely to fall from
grace. All good and noble lessons
taught them are there counteracted and
nullifed. They learn nothing that is
good but everything that is bad. The
boys who spend their evenings in the
sacred precincts of the home with good
books for their companions are the fu-
ture hope of this republic; they will fill
our legislature and congressional halls

Hayes. fourteen years old, shot and killed
his invalid sister Helen, nine years of age

on the wall just over a cot where his Sis

to an elder sister, where he expected to
find some candy she had hidden. the boy

revolver at the largest figure, that of an
Indian in war regalia. Just as he did so
the girl started to arise. The SUPPOSEDLY
unloaded revolver exploded and the girl
fell back dead.

Second Reason Assigned.

ITO prevent the destruction of all nat
ural beauty IN and about The 16tn street
bridge. This bridge has cost $lUo,UUD. of
which at least SlCv,CUO was spent for es-
thetic reasons. This latter amount would
be practically lost unless the site be pro-
tected as proposed in the bill. The de-
preston referred to, if left in private
ownership, must necessarily become a
dump for whatsoever material is available
for filling, in order that the general eieva-
tion may be increased to q practlca BILE
building grade. The private ownership
and present layout of streets to the east
of the bridge are such that under present
conditions building must advance with
back yards, side yards and housetops,
with all their Objectionable features, in
direct view of the 10th street structure.
1.-The requirement of four and One-half
acres as proposed, with authority to re-
arrange the highway plan to the east of
the br .dge, will correct in very attractive
manner the Objectionable features of the
present condition and will afford an en-
trance to the park.
1.-The immediate cost of this measure
should not exceed $4,000 and the ultimate
cost to the public $1,000"
