Captain Amos's face wore pinched look
as he turned nervously to his friend. In
truth, he wished to marry no one, yet now,

He gets real restless when you leave, an he's
always askin' what you talk about down

He was still thinking deeply Of the matter

Amos did not at FIST catch sight of the kneel-

by the side Of the porch. Her profile was
turned toward him, and Captain Amos's far
sighted eyes noted the youthful color Of her
rounded cheek, which belied her ffty-odd
years. There was, too, something youthful
u the quick dexteriiy Of her movements.
Then he awoke TO the duty of inquiring about
hor husband, and, turning, entered the
gate.
She looked up at the sound Of his step on
the walk, and sprang to her feet with smile
of welcome.

that didn't do it with his hand out,
and his eye on my money-pocket hand
in keen anticipation of the tip he ex-
pected for the service rendered
never a man except one, and that was
the stern old guide at the Capper
building He was a fine specimen of a
typical, honest, old Kansan. He didn't
tell me his story but I'll venture to
say that he took up a homestead in
the early days and lost it to the East
ern mortgage holder during the grass
hopper days or later from Populist
blight. He deserved a tip, II ever
serving man did, but 1 would have
been ashamed to insult him by such a
suggestion. And would have
been afraid of what he might have
said or done. A true Kansan never
takes a tip for true Kansan is a real
American.
And among all the busy folks about
that busy place the easiest man of
them all to see is Arthur Capper, the
genius and head of the institution. A
Kansan born, he has risen from the
humblest ranks in few years to that
of the greatest publisher in that great
state, and has built up a publishing
business unique in the newspaper
world. G. U. II.

In Kansas they appreciate good
papers and they don't want too many.
Business men in Kansas appreciate
the fact that one or two papers in
town are better than three or four.
It's a business policy. It's the best
state in the Union for the papers that
are well established and it's the
hardest state in the Union in which
to start a new paper.
There are a dozen towns in Kansas
larger than Canon City with only one
or two papers There is Atchison for
example. It's nearly as big as Colo
RADIO Springs, and II has practically
only one paper-the Globe. Every
year or two somebody tries to build
uD the old Champion with varying
success, but no one ever had the
nerve to start a tlird paper. Then
there is Emporia, town three times
as good as Canon City In a business
way. 1t has the Gazette and the peo-
pie are satisfied with that. 1t has q
second paper. but It is little known.
A third paper would get as little
business In Emporia - q third post

When you walk in on the ground
floor you find facing you hundred
girls. all busy getting out letters,
mailing circulars. correcting subscrip-
tion accounts and doing general office
work And can say that after seeing
the flower OF the South-the rose
gardens and the daisy fields, in fact
of Southern feminine beauty in Vicks-
burg, Natchez and New Orleans-af-
ter all OF that the Kansas girls at work
in Arthur Capper's looked mighty
good to me.
It's a cordial bunch that runs the
business. Go in an institution OF that
size in a big city and you are apt TO
feel like an unwelcome trespasser.
But here you are made to feel at
home. Col. Jones gives you the glad
hand and turns you over to a guide
who shows you the whole institution,
from basement to fifth story. It mat
ters not whether you represent the
biggest advertising agency In New
York or are a plain farmer In from
the Short Grass section, you are made
to feel perfectly free and at home
about the Capper building.

Another thing you wonder at is the
great amount of unoccupied lands

or West and the most of the land you
see is unoccupied. Eastern Kansas is

have vastly more vacant land than
land that is occupied. A man told me
