OCTOBER IN KANSAS.

1By w. E. Blaekburn.)
The very air is inTigorant; fragrant
from the harvest, spiced with wood
smoke, bracing from the first frosts,
scintillant with the glorious sunshine
that fills the shortening autumn days
with splendor and makes thin and
luminous the attending shadow.
Bob White shrills of more wet.
more wet, his Quakerish little wife,
with hak-grown brood, trinity speeds
across the roadway into the ripening
corn, or with musical "whir-r+-
rise, to drive into the distant sea of
undulaing brown.
Prairie larks trim and carol, on the
rusty wire, or perched on the infre-
qumt posts that hold the
cattle from the ripened field. Hawks
fly low; heightened sparrows flutter
into trees and hedge row; rabbits
sclTy from bare pastures to grassy
covert, or sit erect and watch with
diStended eye, quivering nOstril, and
rigid ear, the impending danger.
The murmur of voices, the morning
cock crow, the lowing of cattle are as
distant music, carried softly to the
ear by he voluptuous air.
Corn shocks dot the field-tents of
an army that stand nearby in whis-
pering ranks. A multitude of peace
and plenty; no arms; no equipment
but a haversack Of golden grain on
hip or shoulder. Save a weary few
they stand expectant, awaiting

mustered ont and with empty pockets
Light hearts and fluttering banners
retrace their steps via the. moulder-
ing way to the place whence they
come, and rest. In rusty velvet fields,
by hay stacks, stand cattle in herds
OF gather about the barn, shoulder
Ing one another in ponderous good hu
NOR.
From the inspiration of the caress-
Ing air, the peaceful plenteous view,
satisfied achievements Of a summer 8
work, of goodly store from Nature g
plenty, we look with frightened eye,
bounding blood and defiant head, 10
the north, undaunted by the icy
breath that tells Of coming snow.

THE OTHER SIDE.


The other side of the Canadian
Reciprocity matter is probably as
clearly set forth in the following let.
Ter, received by DR.. White, from a
nephew, who is at the head of the
school system of Ottawa.
Sept. %, 1911.
. Dear Uncle:
Yours of a few days ago al hand.
We are all pleased to hear from you
and regret that your eyes are i'm such
= bad state.
To begin with, | shall in a few
words, endeayOr to explain what
meant by my reference to our flag
G my last letter. Reciprocity to
NE people of Canada, and we have
booked into the matter somewhat care
M1y, means vastly more than friend
" trade relations with the United
States. 1t is believed that
ne ratification of the pact, as
a Is called, would lead to Canada
drawing away from the Empire and
The flag we love as you love yours.
One might ask, How is this?' Well,
It is feared that Reciprocity would
tend to commercial union, which in
turn, would end in political union
Etth the United States, which is no
more welcome US than the amnexa-
6on of Kansas to a foreign country
would be desired by the good citizens
Of Hhat state. We Canadians have
The greatest respect for the
United States and its citizens,
but On the other hand, we are proud
OF Our Empire and the position we
hold in it, and will never take any
steps that will in any wise weaken
the ties that bind us with our
MotheTBand, which was amply proved
By the verdict of the people on the
2lEt.
We have prosperity here; our Nortl
west IS being developed; farmers are
getting good prices; salaries aer high,
50 that there is no inducements to
make a change in our fiscal system,
even if we leave out an sentiment.
So that we have made up our minds
to continue in the future as we have
in the past and endure the ills we
have than fly to others we know not
IT.
l am afraid have written too mucl
In this strain. In a word this great
question has been settled by the peo-
pie. The government that tried to
tOrce the pact is down and OUT for
years to come.
We are well. Edmond goes TO
Queens College in a week to resume
his studies, while Harold continues
Rithe the Bank of OTTAWA. Now
that our election is over affairs will
soon quiet down. Mr.. Borden, our
new premier, has not returned from
NOvaS Gotta. When he does there

q paper telling you all about It.
Glad that you and Aunt are feeling
much better this year.
Yours affectionately,
