KANSAS COMAENT
HURRAH FOR KANSAS

Kansas was born in hot wind.
Her motto is ITO the Stars Through
Difficulties She thrives on trouble
and grows strong on hard labor. Her
natural born children OF the plains,
like the buffalo, the coyote and the
prairie chicken, are wild in manner,
difficult to manage and hard to tame
Her. pioneers were of a ventuTesoIne
and courageous nature, who invaded
a new and strange land alone TO carve
out fortune amid a deseFt-and
they were austere, stubborn, and not
easily discouraged. The state has new
er lost its individuality or it's manner,
and its motto has never CHANGED It's
sons and daughters are of the same
blood and spirit as their ancestors.
They inherited the skill and peFserver-
ance to overcome and to grow strong
in the face of difficulties, and to laugh
at danger or threatened destruction.
The barefooted boy that followed the
sod pillow across the virgin prairies
fifty years ago; who heard the rattle
OF the snakes in the grass, and the
bowling of wolves on the hills: who
breathed the hot winds of the south
down from above, and went sailing
along toward the northeast with its
tail twisting over the ground, that boy
was not easily frightened; he was not
easily excited-he rather liked them.
That same wild disposition, with its
persevering, head-strong, yet happy
go-lucky. don -give-a-damitive nature,
still lives in the Kansas boy today. If
you would destroy him; feed him on
plenty, put him under the electric fan
and keep him on ice. You might as
well halter the buffalo, pen up the
coyote and tame the cyclone; he
wasn't made to live that way. reed
him on excitement, set him out in the
sunshine and turn on the hot-air
draft; freeze him in winter and burn
him in summer. keep him on the
anxious seat. and he thrives. He is
used to the hot winds, and discour-
Rgements. and when fortune does smile
on him he enjoys it better than any
one It will take more than the pres
ent drouth, the furnace heat, and the
discouraging outlook to get his goat.
He'll come in this fall with his corn
crop just the same, and he'll make
money at the market price. stand Up

ness and ungainliness of his figure HIS Ieer
hanging loosely to his ankles, were prominent
objects, but his hands were more conspicuous even
than his feet-due perhaps to the fact that cere-
mony at times compelled him to clothe them in
white kid gloves which always fitted loosely.
Both the height of conversation and in the depth
of reflection his hand now and then ran over or
supported his head giving his hair haDltually dis
ordered aspect.
His expression in repose was sad and dull, oue
his everrecurring humor at short intervals, flashed

ANALYSIS was wonderful. He strengthened every
case he stated and no anecdote or Joke ever lost
force or effect from his telling.
Apropos of his large feet there Is an anecdote
told Of Lincoln when he was in the legislature:
He had walked his hundred miles to Vandalia, in
1886 as he had in 1884, and when the session
closed he walked home again. gentleman OF
Menard county remembers meeting him and a de-

noses than that of saving leg WEAKNESS and

clothing was none of the warmest.
Complaining of being cold to one OF his COM

told his future president that it was no wonder
that he was cold-"there much of him on
the ground" None of the party appreciated this
homely joke at the expense of his feet (they were
doubtless able to bear it, more thoroughly than
Lincoln did We imagine the cross hres OF wit
and humor by which the way was enlivened during
this cold and tedious journey.
