ALEssoN FROM KANSAS.

e0r a decade had been growing
at a most substantial rate.
Though Iowa is standing still,
about to lose her grip,
And seems to be preparing to
start on a backward trip.
1t makes the people wonder what
these antics signify;
The hidden meaning we can seek
and capture if we try
Go back to nineteen hundred. and
note how the figures went.
The increase in a decade then was
only 3 percent
Those were the days when peO-
pie on the Western Kansas
plain
The jewellers in the shOrtgrass,
called the land of little rain
Pulled up their pIOwS and harrow
and declared it was no use;
The dryneSs of those Western
land had cooked the farmers
goose
They jOurneyed back to Iowa,
Missouri and the East,
And thus the count of noses in
the shOrt-graSS land decreaS-
ed.
But some would not accept de-
feat, they stayed and used
their brains.
And Swore they'd wet their crops
with sweat, if not with flood
ing rains;
They used the tools that were at
hand, conditions as they were
and from their tracks they brave
ly vowed that they would
never stir,
Until they solved the problem,
o and had made the desert
blow
With blossoms and with fruit
and grains because they
dreamed it so.
The years rolled on; the heroes
won. Their spirit did pre-
vail
Der nature. Men with Kansas
pluck were never known to
fail.
They spoke the Kansas language
and the desert understood;
It dropped its long ears like a
cur and promised to be good
And then the victOrS shouted tC
the folks that went away:
S'COme back; we've killed the dr.
gOn, friends; come back a
gain to stay"
And in an army they returned
and filled the shOrt-graS.
land;
Thus Kansas in the census count
increased to beat the band.
Now Iowa, whose lands are rich
which had to make no fight
Is slowly sinking to the real
and heading toward thu
night.
Remember IrOnquill once asked
DC "What is it makes a state?
q Not wealth and lands and luxury
but men whose souls ar,
great"
The greatness of the SunflOwel
state is not its fattenet
60 ground,
But those who wreStle will
that soil, and they 90 'rOunC
and round
1t is the man that makes the crOl
not merely fertile dirt.
And that is why that KanSa
state put on its mighty spur
More men, more beeveS. nor
bread to eat is what the fig
ureS show;
Less cows, less pork in Iowa til
census lets us know.
That tells a tale: those fertil
farms are going to play
trick
Upon the landleSS millions tina
will make their pantrieS sicl
The Kansas, language must b
SpOke-itS lessons be apple
To all the farmland everywhel
throughout this nation wild
We must not wait for time an
fate to bring the fOodStufI
out;
But sick the man "agin" IL

cushina's Chair For Visitors.

Caleb Cushing desired to keep
people at a distance from him while
talking, and many of his callers had
a habit of gradually moving their
chairs nearer to him during con-
versation. So one day, having been
very much annoyed in that way, he
sent for carpenter and made him
fasten two. pieces of board to the
legs of the chair and then screw it
to the floor at the place where he
wanted people to sit. When it was
done he contemplated it with a
smile and remarked: s'I guess /
have got them now. They can't
blow their bad breath in my face
any more" That chair raised a
laugh on many visitor, who, after
several attempts to move it forward,
would, on looking closer, find it fas-
tened to the floor.

4 Broken Collar Bone pidn't Stop the
Great Tsnor,s Singing.
The singers Of the old days were
! aot the delicate plants that our OPP
cratic idols Of today are, as appears
from a story told Of Rubini, the
tenor Of seventy or more years ago.
In those days European audiences
listened with -rapt admiration to
Rubini, Of whom it was said that,
though he could not himself act, his
voice acted for him. The intensity
If expression he gave to his voice.

and the management Of light and

thrilling effect. But his great feat
consisted in taking the B flat OF the

sustaining it for long time anc
then letting it imperceptibly die
away.
The adventurous are always on
the edge of danger. On one occa-
sion Rubini, after repeating this
vocal feat and being a second time
encored, found himself unable to
produce the expected note. Deter
mined not to fail, he gathered up
his vocal strength and made SUI
preme effort. The note Came with
its wonted power, brilliancy and du-
ration, but at the cost Of a broken
collar bone.
A surgeon examined the singer
and found that the tension of the
lungs had been too powerful for the
strength of the collar bone. Two
months rest would be required to
reunite the clavicle, and this the
singer declared to be impossible, as
he had only finished several days Of
a long engagement.
"Can 1 sing at all with broken
collar bone?" he asked.
eyes; it will make no difference
in your voice." answered the sur
geon. sfBut you must avoid lifting
heavy weights and any undue exer-
tion-above all, you must leave the
B fiat alone"
Rubini continued to sing with a
broken clavicle until the termina-
ton Of his engagement.-New York
