A Milwaukee gent who slaughtered
another was sentenced by the court to

can easily fix that by marrying said
widow and making her support him.
That was a truly remarkable
Thanksgiving proclamation just issued
by Dave Leahy. He not only gave the
people of Kansas the privilege of ceIe-
brating the last Thursday in this
MONTH but neglected to use his favor
tie expression.-"I do myself the
honor" etc.
Another feature of the proclamation:
Dave used more upper-case letters in
that Proclamation than George AIDE
uses in one of his j. c. fables.
Tt appears, from recent reports that
the attempt of certain county officials
to attach a bundle of tinware to a dan
gerous political opponent was not the
bowling success that it was advertised.
If the Cimarron gent was really
chased by coyotes, they must have
been tame ones. A coyote at large is
the most cowardly specimen in the

coyote is the sassiest animal to be

without a goat. And the Chicago Off

OF the other score of letters and
kilograms and personal visits; what
naturally pleased us most was the
visit of the representative of the big
Chicago Tribune here last week, on
the occasion of which he made a per-
sonal visit to the press room and the
State Journal departments to see how
this little paper was doing every day
that which had cost the Great Chi
cago Tribune a fortune to prepare to
do on one day in the week. Please
remember in this connection, if we do
say it modestly, who should not say it
at all. that the Chicago Tribune prints
under its heading daily these signifi-
cant words The Worlds Greatest
Newspaper
But then that is easily accounted for
in the Chicago Tribune's case, for
James Kelley, the editor and pub
Usher. and Ned Beck. the managing
editor, are Kansas men. They received
their training on Kansas newspapers;
one on the Leavenworth Times, the
other on the Holton Recorder.
But this chapter was to have been
on politics. rather than personalities.
But pausel Personalities before
Politics. is a motto, which seems to
be forced over these columns
Here is a paragraph from the Hol-
ton Recorder edited by the father Of
Ned Beck of the Chicago Tribune. and
printed in the Recorder, yesterday
November 10th:
"In his efforts to tell everything he
knows. Frank MacLennan has at least
given the state Journal some editorial
individuality which is refreshing to the
readers Of that excellent paper. The
greatest objection to the State Journal
has been its Inade-to- order, colorless
and insipid editorials

Grandma Terry is quite sick with

Rube Mcfarland finished husking his
big fields Of corn last week. Rube is
feeding some cattle and a big bunch of
sheep that are doing fine.
Eugene Ferguson, a stone mason
ana plaster that has lived at Arm,ur
the last two years went to Wisconsin.
He was unfortunate to have one of his
feet cut off.
Rube Mcfarland is going to build a
house on his farm for his tenant to
live in and quit farming himself. Rube
dol't believe IN werking himself to

Frank Linhart is going to reside on

Mr.. Linhart is q first-class harness
maker and he expects to repair harness

lace their odrer for what they want.
There has been a good many sales
aronud the country for the time Of the
year. We bet if the farmers could
sell their stock and machinery AMI get
out what they have invested in it, they
would all be selling oft and quit farm
ing. If a farmer can farm 500 or 1000
acres of land and continue it az crops

ly they could livea a great deal better
if they did o they did not do any

THE celebration of Thanksgiving In
the east is thought to be much more
universally observed anniversary than
in the central part Of the United
States or in the west Perhaps this
il because the Furitans originated the
holiday In the far east. At any rate
the fact seems to be true. but never
theiess the westerners always enter
most heartily into the Thanksgiving
spirit and there IL always an EFFORT
toward making the day enc at glad
ness.
