INTERESTING KANSAS NEWS

The people of Kansas will be inter
ested to learn that their state lies in a
belt of high plateau land east of the
Rocky mountains where the absence of
rain makes grain growing Improbable;
that the land is devoted to grazing
sometimes in fenced fields but often
in great open prairies watched over by
cowboys. This information may be re-
lied upon absolutely, as it is found in a
school geography compiled by man
from New England which, as every
one knows, is all clogged up with cul-
ture and information.
We only hope that when the New
England geography maker takes his
much needed trip to Kansas the people
of that state will be too busy taking
care of their eight millionaire corn
patch and their six millionaire wheat
field to do him violence.-Success Mag

The judge was then more explicit and
said. "Speak to the jury sir; the men
