by writing dope" about the women

Now, the 1. WIS voice is no doubt
all that is described, but unless I am
deaf, the voices of the Kansas
women; society or otherwise, to me,
sound Just as pleasing as those of any
eastern women Of the same respective
classes.
The voice of a Kansas woman was
the first I ever heard, and when my
time comes, / would prefer that 1t be
the last. Perhaps I may be sentimen-
tai, or over-patriotic, but always in
my ears, the voice of the average Kan
soothing as the lullaby Of the winds in

TRYING A oANELoADER.

The testing Of new cane-loading
continuance, which in the opinion of
practical men who saw its expert
mental operation promises to be sue
cess, was an important event of the
week. Only those who are familiar with
the labor conditions on plantations are
able to realize how large is the prob
lem of loading cane onto the cars or
trucks which carry it to the mills, on
plantations where it is not flumed.
The new machine, or continuance, is
in use, under which laborers, usually
Japanese, carry the cane in bundles on
their shoulders, up inclined planks to
the cars.
Other efforts to construct a cane.
loading machine have usually been on
the plan of a crane and derrick, and
none of them have proved workable.
