VIENNA AND PARIS THE
cENTERs OF. FASHION.

In an article On Some New Little
Fashions" in the July Woman's Home
Companion, the author says:
1T Is well, therefore, to take our
inspiration in matters of dress from
Paris, and, let it be said in passing,
Vienna also. Though never being
able to compete with Paris, Vienna
follows closely in her wake, and
sends to US many dress ideas that
do not perhaps have the unrivaled
chic Of those from Paris, but which
possess a certain charm that does
much for our American fashions"

Under the leadership OF Colonel
Harris. David 0vermeyer and other
honored and lamented statesmen,
the Democratic party Of Kansas years
ago took position in favor Of the
enforcement of law and set its face
firmly against the Illicit liquor traf.
fc. BY nominating George Hodges
for governor, Kansas Democracy will
maintain the strong and honorable
position it has occupied on this ques.
ton; if Hodges should be defeated II
would be giving notice to the world
that Kansas Democrats had reversed
themselves and were back in the re.
submission wallow. 1t would mean
the disruption Of the party and over,
whelming defeat at the polls.

PAPER "a TOWN 2 WEEKS OLD.

The first issue OF the Montezuma
News was issued last week with c.
II. Alexander as editor and proprie-
tor, devil, typesticker. ct al. Mr..
Alexander was founder Of the ingalls,
Beacon and the Gray County Demo
crat The opening up Of this sOUth-
west territory by the Dc,lge Cty &
Cimarron Valley railroad and the
founding Of several new towns by
the Santa Fe attracted his attention
and he decided to get in at the toll

very often that a town gets a paper

Damnable luck! He could have lived
like a prince. Twenty-four hundred

Of gold into the pockets of men whom

Conscience? Rot! Let us for

LONGING FOR THE OPEN.

| am longing for the hillsades. and
the pastures wide and green,
Where the blossoms Of wild berries
are beginning to be seen.
I am longing to be strayins where
the sod Is newly turned,
Where the lambs are bhthIey getting
meals that they never earned
I am longing for the orchards with
their blossoms sweet and pink
am longing to be out there Just to
stroll around and think.
| am longing for the open, where
there are no whirring wheeBl
Where the speckled hen is clucking
as she searches for her meals!
Where the loug-legged colts are
playing while their mothers pull
the pbw,
Where the farmer weans the of.
spring Of the faithful brindle COW.
Where the toilers work till sunset,
having started at the dawn q.
| am longing to be out tehre merely
as a lookeror
I am longing 10 DO out there merely

Far from where the Grooming ticker
mocks the hopes which It de-
stroysI
Far from all the angry rabblss! Far
from smoke and changing gongsi
Where no agitators bellov, magnify
ing peoples wrongs-
oh, l long to be there, caring little
how the world Is run,
Calmly watching other people do the
work that must be done.

General on tue Democratic ticket,
subject to the primary August 6. His
