NINETEEN YEARS IN KANSAS.
[BY R. W. ALLEN.l

Cotton stalks higher than your
head, corn stalks some IL feet
high and all intervening space
between. occupied by cuckle
burs, jimpson weeds. and all
others usually found in the Amo-
ION valley of South America.
WSalmost come to the conclu-
sion that this number 2 obstacle
was unsurmountable. Turning
away with a heavy heart and sad
countenance, we wendell our
way back down the river, and
crossed over to where we had
left poor old hoopy, who had
met so many obstacles just a few
days previous to this, and had
come off victorious over all of
them, told the boys to get in
and take courage, that where
there is a will there's a way,
and we would find away out.
So returning home (back to
Winthrop that evening, we re-
solved to appear looking as pleas

wife would not think that | was

that We had made, We came in
singing and whistling, and put
hoopy away and ate supper. and
took a stroll up town to drown
our troubles. dropped in to
talk with one, W. D. Stevens,
the banker of Winthrop, and a
native Arkansan, who had made
a great deal of money, farming
in that country. and he being ex-
perienced in many such difficult
ties as were facing me, was not
long in putting me on to the job
of overcoming obstacle number
2, and this was his plan. Take
a rail road iron, some 20 feet
long, and hitch 4 horses, two to
each end of it, and drag it up
and down the field, over the
weeds and stalks, until they
can't hold their heads up and
then come and get his stalk cut
ter and take a row at a time put
ting on plenty of weight to hold
it down, and it would cut the
stalks all to pieces. Then l
could plow them under, adding
fertility to my land. But no
land that would produce such
stalks and weeds did not need
more fertility, and besides new
er wanted to see those stalks
and weeds any more. To make
a complete job of it, when got
them drug down with my rail-
road iron till they could not hold
their heads up and had run the
stalk cutter over them until ]

Working some 7 or 8 days, we
opened pretty good road right
up to and opposite my shack on

next step was easy. l hired a
carpenter to make me a good

would leave everything over on
the farm until the crops were
laid by. So we would get aboard

in the morning and light out for
the farm, running down the

crossed the river, thence up the

Why Silver furnishes.

Chemical students tell US that the
tarnish on silver consists of silver
sulphide-a compound caused by the
combination of silver and sulphur.
consequently one of the best ways to
keep silver from furnishing is to keep
1t out of the way of anything con-
tanning sulphur.
however, there are always some
sorts of sulphur compounds present
In the air where gas is burned, and
where coal gas is present even in
small amounts silver furnishes very
quickly: 1t is always better not to
keep silver in the room where cook
ing by gas is done.

have made for it. This may be be-
cause there is some sort of sulphur
compound present in the dye or
bleach of the material. jewelers. are
wise enough to select materials free
from such compounds when making
silver cases. and for this reason it is
always better to keep the cotton
flannel cases in which silver is bought
than to transfer it to cases of your
own making.

so similar with the serge gown and the

methods apply to both
The essential preparation is: A good
light falling directly on the garment, as
Gtret' he'd on the board, a stiff, clean
brush, a bowl Of clean water. a bunch
CI citaning cloths, ivory or CASTLE soap
and bottle of cleaning solution
The procedure is first, a thorough
emptying OF pockets which may con-
tain anything in hardware or confec-
ton or fruit. in any state; then a good
stiff brushing. and thorough examina ton
for spots. Spots should be marked as
discovered, either with pins or French
chalk. which brushes off easily.
Vt is safe to attack spots of unknown
origin first with cold water and a nom

and will. if thoroughly applied, remove
most grease spots. Obstinate spots may
then be attacked with the cleaning solu-

instead of dipping Into it, and start on
the outer rim Of the spot, rubbing evenly
in a circle to the center.
When the garment is cleaned in this
way. press it with a hot iron over a
clean damp cloth wrung out of cold
water. If school clothes are thus
cleaned regularly, they will last very
much longer than if neglected and look
better all the time they are worn.

for the green frock. chains of silver
go well with frockS of gray, and there
are gorgeous so-called oriental chains
to match gowns of yellow, rose. blue

No one expects these decorated tea
time chains to be of great intrinsic
worth. The whole idea is that they
go with the frock with which they
are worn. which is often left very
simple just because of the ornate
chain chosen for it.
For the inspiration Of a type OF

When to Powder.

A cynic might say when he saw the
expression when to powder" that
woman need never be told anything
of the sort, as she usually uses pow
der on every possible occasion. Which
isn't quite fair.
And yet trade statistics show that
there is much more face powder being
used than ever before. But this is
probably the result Of the high wages
following the war. which made many
girls able to afford little luxuries
hitherto impossible. Doubtless it Is
due also to the fact that girls are
starting to use face powder years
earlier than they used to.
I have had letters from girls eleven
and twelve asking how much powder
to use and what shade, and 1t seems
to me. from q casual observation in
trolleys and crowds on the street, that
every girl In high school and most of
those in the upper grammar school

Peter continued on deeper into the
Green Forest until he came to
great windfall. A windfall. as prob
ably you know. is a tangle of fallen
trees, uprooted by a great wind.
They had fallen one on another SO
that they made a great mass. Under

been in a cave under an overhanging
ledge of rock. Both places had been

considerable hesitation. Buster Bear

little people have great deal of re-

he would like to peep at Buster
asleep, but now that he was where

quite another thing to go ahead and
do it. You know Peter is naturally
timid
"Of course" said Peter to himself,
"as I said before, there is no danger.
If he is in there asleep I couldn't
wake him If I tried"
But suppose he shouldn't be
asleep" suggested Doubt. -.
"Of course, he's asleep. He hasn't
been out this winter" replied Curl
you don't know what trouble you
may get into in there. Besides. it is
no business of yours whether or not
he is asleep" whispered Doubt.
1T may be none of your business,
but it certainly isn't going to do any

way you can find out is to go in and

How long Peter would have con-
tinued to hesitate no one knows.
The matter was settled for him.
Happening to look over his shoulder
he saw Terror the Goshawk, and saw
that Terror saw him. Peter didn't
wait. There might be danger under
that windfall. He didn't know. But
there was no doubt about the danger
outside. Terror the Goshawk was
more to be feared than Buster Bear
could possibly be. Peter dived head
first under that windfall. And he
was barely in time at that.

If they are family jewels bestowed
upon you by some dOting grandmothe er

never let their brilliance' show when
these doting relatives are by. Givers
of diamonds seem to exact as the re-
ward for giving them that they should
be perpetually worn. And every wom-

string of amber, necklace of imita-

give a better effect than a chaplet Of

Wearing Jewels.

The rule that our grandmothers
taught our mothers about the wearing
of jewelry was that no lady ever wore
diamonds in the morning. We wouldn't
put it just exactly that way now, per-
haps, but there still is the feeling-is
there not?-that it isn't quite the
thing to wear diamonds in the early
hours of the day. In fact, the ten
dency now seems to be to put off the
time for diamond wearing still later.
