Robbed at Havs

An ar ticIe in the SaIina Journal under
the ab owe caption, dated July p, is IS
follovs s:
wher3 harvest hands are robbed ac-
cOrding to q Young German, who arriv-
ed in Salina last night The young
man, who is able to talk but very little
English. was able to explain at the po-
lice station that he had been robbed of
$45. at Hays where he had been work
ing The theft was the result of the
work of buns Then the boy partially
spoiled the effect of his story by saying
that he was sick and wanted transport
alton to Kansas CITY where a job in the
railroad shops awaited him. He also
incidentally mentioned that he had
worked on 8 railrOsd in Africa. By
persistent questioning the officers CLEAN
ed q story of remarkable conditions in
Hays Not less than 100 transients and
gamblers were b angling about the city,
the boy said They do no work" he
explained. "but shake cards and dice
this way for moneys from the others
They 90 to buildings and man, he in
charge, ne move from one to another
during the night every two hours so
they no find him - The German was
still in Salina this morning lOosing for
some one able to carry on conversation
give him transportation to Kansas
City"
If the ABOVE is correct, Hays officers
have neglected their duty. While
there is no doubt there havs been some
gamblers here and possibly they have
taken toll from some Of the transient
har7estars, but it is not nearly so bad
as painted by the Journal. Hays is not
q border town. The citiz' Of Hays
are civiIiz I'd and the officers Of the city
and county are awake and have been
attending strictly TO their duties, es-
peeIally during the harvest tina. There
are q few idle men in the eit7 but they
are being closely watched The young
man spoken Of in the foregoing, was
surely romaneing.

~TS OF STO"tuS via StNSSsu'ys
Few of us cross the threshold OF q
another year without the sorrowful
conviction that we have been I'M
profitable servants and without the
hope that in the year to come we shall
do better. Oliver Wendell Holmes
wrote 1.-THE Boys" for the reunion Of
his aged classmates to prove Old Time
a liar; Joseph H. Choate. after he was
70, said his experience proved to him
that the eighth decade was the best OF
all: and an astute F'renchwoman con-
tinued year after year to give her age
as IS, because, she said, she was not
one who would be guilty of saying one
thing at one time and another thing at
another. Yet we do not all wear our
years 80 gracefully. Some Of us re-
pine at the calendars reminder and
would erase the record If we could. We
wish no commemoration of an unwel-
come fact. We are content to let our
Juniors have the candles and the cake
and the birthday presents.
+ But there are ways of not letting the
calendar know how old we are. The
secret Of perennial youth seems to have
been whispered to a few fortunate
souls We do not think of them as
growing old, for. their hearts are al
ways young within therS and the spirit
Of play alive. They have the sense OF
humor and. Of blithe abandon which
even the occasional minor cadences or
