LOVER DRIVES 50 MILES.
His Horse Dies and He Is Arraigned
on Cruelty Charge.

Beloit, Kan. Jan. 5.-Ninety-three
miles with a team and buggy to see
his girl, was the rather strenuous
courtship conducted by Harry Whit
ney of Beloit. The day after he re-
turned the horses to the owners at the
Parish livery barn, one of them died
and Whitney was arrested on the
charge of cruelty to animals. Whitney
put up bond and the case was tried in
Justice CottOn's court after a num-
per of postponements. The jury
brought in a verdict acquitting the
defendant.
There were fifteen witnesses, among
them Miss Sylvia Hunter. whom Whit
ney went to see. was the star witness
IN his behalf 1t was proved to the
satisfaction of the jury that the horse
was not overdriven, but was i'll and
was known to be i'll before the trip
was attempted.

where he spent the night. Sunday
morning he drove to Beverly, 10 miles
east of Lincoln, and spent Sunday
there with Miss Hunter Monday
morning he drove Miss Hunter
to her school near where she
resided and drove back to
Beloit, about forty miles The
horse took sick before reaching Beloit
and died the following day. The evil
dence showed that the horse did not
travel more than 4 to 6 miles an hour
and Miss Hunter testified that when
she was in the buggy the horses were
not urged whatever.

COLD MAY HURT WHEAT CROP.
Farmers Agree That Unsprouted Grain
VIII Finish Winter.

Salina, Kan, Jan. 5.-What effect
will Monday nights hard freeze have
on the wheat crop is the all absorbing
subject with farmers and millers. On
that subject there are numerous and
diversified opinions. Practically all of
those opinions offer more or less hope
for the coming crop.
Fred Shellabarger says it is possible
that the wheat has been slightly in
jured. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the wheat will stand
more severe weather now than it
would if the ground was moist
Farmers unanimously agree that the
unsprouted wheat will finish the win
ter. in good condition providing there
is not a spell of warm weather which
will give it chance to sprout and
then follow with cold spell. If this
should occur thousands of acres of
wheat would be ruined. A grain man
said that there is a little danger of
the unsprouted wheat rotting. The
freeze will not hurt the unsprouted
wheat the grain men say. Early
wheat which is up and growing was
not injured according to some millers
while others say it is likely that it
was Slightly frost bitten.

E. w. Howe, editor of the Atchison

tired, and perhaps the best known
newspaper Photographer in the country
prints a post-retirement statement III
the Globe, as follows:
AS was briefly announced in last Sat
urday's issue, permanently retired
from the Globe on that date. Ny sue
cessors tell me that there is some
curiosity as to my action, and ask me
to make statement.
I am only carrying out an idea have
had several years. 1 had too much to
do, considering my age (Which is fifty
seven), and overwork made me nervous
and fretful, and aggravated the nerv-
Gus dyspepsia with which I have been
bothered a good many years. The
Globe was never more prosperous than
it was last year, or it's patrons more
kind. There is nothing the matter, ex-
cept that I believe 1 will be more con-
tent with less to do, and that my
health will be better.
1 built the bungalow at Potato Hill
farm several years ago, with a view OF
retiring there and publishing a small
magazine, doing the work myself. for j

do not believe 1 can ever be idle;
know I could not loaf" During my
two days of rest at home, 1 have been
busy I intend to get out, within
three months, two books: 1. Country
Town Sayings" a collection of the best
paragraphs that have appeared in the
Globe in the past thirty-three years;
q Country Town Sketches a collec-
ton of longer pieces from the same
source. These longer pieces will be
partly rewritten. I am now busy on
these two books, and enjoying the
work.

How Howe Feels.


A writer in a Kansas City paper said
on Monday: I'm his announcement
that he will change his field of labor,
Mr.. Howe is credited with saying that
he will print whatever he desires, a
privilege that has been denied him in
his newspaper A great part of the
popularity of the Atchison Globe was
based on the public belief that if its
editor had any hampering restrictions,
the fact never reached his readers. 1t
has always been thought that The
Globe gave forth just what Mr.. Howe
thought, and in the most forceful Ian
guage he could lay his hands on
This gives me opportunity to say
that / have no desire to print any
thing in Smiths Quarterly that is not
true, important, decent and respect
able. For many years 1 have believed
that the greatest trouble with the
world is that the people are not fair
enough; not honest enough; not indus
trious enough; not temperate enough,
and that lack of these simple virtues
cause most of the trouble in the world.
I am too old man to have an ambi-
ton to become an Iconoclast, and too
big a coward to have any ambition
to give people occasion to shoot at me-
simple desire to print my honest con-
victions. There are a few people in
the world who believe my notions
are important; perhaps a few of these
will care to see these opinion more
carefully written; more carefully edit
ed, and with the venom and meanneSS
more carefully extracted. Perhaps
little magazine containing no local
news, no general news, and probably
no advertisements, will more directly
appeal to the small constituency I
seek. But if I should be mistaken in
this notion, I shall not be greatly dis
turbed; shall work more contentedly
at my simple duties on the farm.
Hopes He Has Been Modest.
In reference to Smiths Quarterly
and to myself, I hope 1 have been
modest; 1 write this only because I
have been asked to, and because it
may be proper to write it on retire
ment from a newspaper I founded, and
have been connected with so long. 1t
is the truth that I do not expect a
great deal from my future work. I
seek quiet, and relief from turmoil,
and the ordinary questions of the day,
which I have heard too much of for
the past seven or eight years.

Plans "a Farmers Magazine. -


do not expect much from the small
magazine I intend to print at Potato
Hill. 1t will be IA Farmers Magazine
for Town People, So far as 1 know,
there is not in the world a magazine
printed on a farm, by a farmer for
town people; there will be one along
about April next You may think
it funny proposition for a man to
quit working on newspaper, and
then engage in printing a magazine
for a rest. My magazine will not be
much of a magazine. If I should
conclude to issue Smiths Quarterly in
three monthly installments-once 4. a
month"; would be a small affair, like
The Philistine, but not of The Philis-
tines character. This means that it
will not be as good as The Philistine,
nor patterned after it. But did it ever
occur to you that there is not a great
deal of reading matter i'll The PhiliS-
tine, although it sells for ten cents2
The last issue contained thirty-twO
small pages of reading matter. Only
twenty-one of the pages were written
by Elbert Hubbard. I have in one
day, many times, furnished as much
copy for The Globe as Gilbert Hub
bard wrote for the January number of
The Philistine. On several occasions
II have supplied as much copy for
The Globe in one. day as The. Philis-5
tines last number contained. My copy
hadn't The Philistine quality, but it
was something for the printers to work
at; it kept them going" Another
thing: 1 will bet that can begin with
full cases and in two days set up
by hand every line of straight reading
matter the January number of The
Philistine contains. 1 will bet, also,
that in week, at the farmers print
shop at Potato Hill, I can write, set
and print a magazine like The Phil1s-
tine. That would give me three weeks
of every month to sit on the front
porch and yawn, and potter around
the farm. There will be a great Diff
ference between my magazine and The
Fhilistine; just how much my sub
scribers q do not expect many will
soon be in position to judge.
