j. w Rauch, of Franklin township,
passed through Wa-Keeney Monday
on his way home from Hays where he
had been on business. He was a call
er at this office. He said that along
the. road between here and Hays
he saw several straw stacks burning
which had probably been set dav or
two before but which were then
great danger to starting prairie fires
on account of the high wind which
would scatter the burning straw He
says there were two fires started in
his part of the county last week from
burning straw stacks. A fire was also
started on the Ed Doerschlag farm,
presumably from sparks from the
chimney Fortunately these fires
were all gotten under control before
much serious damage was done.

from his fellows, from their homes
ana sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shiyered
In the cabin home Of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was in n
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed In
surprise: "He Is very common look
ing man." Whereupon he answered:
"Frlend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That Is the reason he
makes so many Of them"
Lincoln liked people. and he always
kept In touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word Of politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senator's and the blg-wlgs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his "pub-
lie opinion bath" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over It's arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
In through the wide open door of his
office. Those who approached him in
awe found themselves at ease In the
presence Of friend, whose manner
said to every one what he said In a
speech to regiment: II happen tenn
