THE GARDEN.


In the spring she made garden near an
orchard on hill,
And half that gardens providence, the
rest Is all free will,
1T providence that plants the flowers,
pure luck that kills the weeds;
She planned to make it beautiful and wild
birds brought the seeds.
Green beeches whisper round it, and a
river sings below
A song Of pools and shadows, where the
There's incense like st. Peters on way
ward Devon breeze.
And infinite lamenting of the doves among
the trees.
Outside the wall of broken stones wild
kinds are wooed by stays
Inside the sunlight fingers on the laven-
der and flags,
And nothing has an enemy where flowers
and weeds are grown;
The gospel of that garden is leave the
nests alone.
Far better than all gardens is garden of
mood
Columbus might have found it, and, in
finding, understood,
The wanderers in waste places they can
feel and understand
The spirit of deep quiet in the commune
that she planned.
If I was King of England, and lost my
golden crown,
If I was mayor of London, and they
hunted me from town,
I'd seek the secret garden and the hid
den place that she
Gave for joy to birds and flowers and
men God made like me.

WESTERN KANSAS.

Conditions in western Kansas are
not nearly as black as some people
would paint them. Evidence to this
end can be found by the yard in the
weekly newspapers that are published
| in that section. More of it, and of
equally convincing variety, made it's
appearance in the letters that We're
printed in Fridays State Journal from
voluntary and reliable correspondents
in Finney and Graham counties. They
deny emphatically that their localities
are in the throes of most depiorable
conditions. They assert that they need
no help to carry them through the
winter or to assist them in their pre-
parations for harvests to come.
1t is undoubtedly true that in some
farmers that have been hit hard by
the drouth. There are farmers of this
sort in eastern and central Kansas as
well. Some of them may be in need of
outside assistance. and it is pretty
sure to come to the worthy among
them from one source or another That
the conditions, though, in western
Kansas are sufficiently general and
adverse to warrant the calling of a
special session to extend necessary aid.
much and SO strong testimony of the
counter variety.
One of the weaknesses of the
alarmist and the pessimist is to pick
out isolated cases and incidents and
declare them to be typical of general
conditions. Another of their weak
nesses is their desire to attract atten-
ton and notoriety to themselves. So
it is always we'll that suggestions for
the calling of a special session of the
legislature to extend aid to western
Kansas farmers be considered most
calmly and carefully before they are
acted upon. They come periodically
and on the slightest provocation, and
they are resented more keenly by the
western Kansas farmers themselves
than by people in any other section of
the state. These western Kansas far
mers are men of sturdy mien. They
have overcome obstacles in the win
ming of the west whose proportions
were mountainous in comparison with
those that have developed as a result
of this off-season for agriculture. And,
as yet, no general cry has gone up
from them that they need any assist
ance to fight such battles as they now
have.
Were it at all apparent that the gen.
era1 conditions in. western Kansas are
such that the state should make ap-
preparations to tide the needy over in
one way or another, the State Journal
would be among the first to use such
force as it commands to urge the call
ing of a special session of the legisla-
ture for this purpose. But that does
not now appear to be the case.

THE BOOK DELUGE.

Fashions change. Erasmus once
wrote to one of his friends that when
he could get some money he would hrst
buy some books, and if any were stlll
left he would get some clothes. A MOD

there has been sucn deluge or re

the first price is materially affected.
Since every copy of the cheaper edi-
ton is sold at a loss of from one to
two cents. the dealers are trying to get
together to devise some way of meet

would seem that some relief might be
found in a conference of publishers to
limit the output. If each house issued
one-half as many books and advertised
these we'll the waste certainly could
not be as great. The less worthy books
would probably remain unpublished

PLEASURE LOVING GIRLS.

1t is claimed that the nervous eX-
haustion produced by hours of sus-
tanned and monotonous labor sends
the factory girl into the streets at
night, writes Agnes ReppIier, in the
course of a most interesting and in
structive article in the September
Atlantic. She is too unstrung for rest.
That this is in a measure true no ex-
perienced worker will deny, because
every experienced worker is familiar
with the sensation. Every woman
who has toiled for hours, whether with
a sewing machine or a typewriter,
whether with a needle pen,
whether in an office or at home, has
felt the nervous fatigue which does not
crave rest but distraction, which
makes her want to go" Every wo-
man worth her salt has overcome this
weakness has mastered this desire. 1t

Miss Jane Adams. in her careful

Sarah, who was the cook, came. So
did Fitz Barton. Unfortunately for
the latter, he arrived first and was
lifting the unconscious girl up when
the husky cook leaped on his back and
bore him to the ground and scratched
and clawed and cried out for the
gardener, who was deaf and far away.
BY the time the rescuer and the
cook had untangled themselves the
victim had recovered her senses and
was demanding to know a whole lot of
things. She had to be supported to
the house, and the young man did
most of the work. The country doctor
had to be asked by telephone if such
cases were necessarily fatal, and when
told that it was a fall pippin that did
the business, he said there was hope
that the victim would pull through if
she did not talk too much. Had it
been a pile driver that hit her, and
had it fallen a distance of sixty feet,
the case must have terminated fatally.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson were out in
