"Oh, / don't know" said one.
Even IL we haven't seen it, we can

"I doubt 1t. It's impossible until

The Gateway Of the West

Emerson Hough in the Saturday

The village of Franklin on the
Missouri river was the first capital
of the Santa Fe trade, and st. Louis
we may call the capital of the Mis-
souri, river commerce.
The frontier town of Independ-
ence on the Missouri river was the
eastern terminus of tho Oregon
Trail. When the steamboat landing
at Independence was washed out;
the new town, Westport, few miles
farther up the river, was established
on the site of what to-day is Kansas
City; wherefore we may call Kansas
City the true gateway of the Great
West.

IT'S A SAD WORLD

IT'S a sad world. Ask any school
boy or girl that you meet. They
- know. Yesterday the old earth
was a happy, carefree place. The
September sun lighted land OF
freedom where "all was merry as
marriage bell" and 10y was uncon-
fined" But as in the old poem, the
morrow has a different tale to tell
and of all the hosts of merry
makers who thronged the great
amphitheater of the river steps yes
terday, only a scattered few remain
and the rest of the lassies whose
laughter mingled with the cheers of
the laddies assembled with them
are slaves again-slaves of the book
and pen; slaves of the desk and study
hall.
Gone is the golden period of va
cation, and what seemed in June
like an indesnite space of time
ahead, seems all too brief for the
pleasures that were crowded into it.
There is something just a bit sad
dening to see the little fellows trudge
away again with school books under
their arms, after the liberty they
have enjoyed. Life is like that. Its
vacations are ali too brief; its joys
are all too fleeting. But even so
there is consolation in the thought
that work for those who learn to
love it brings its own reward and
the round of idleness for which we
in our hoursrof weariness sometimes
yearn would pail upon us if all op-
portunity for useful employment
were suddenly taken from us.
