And, looking thence, this vision 6pied Oh, Memory 1 though thy name be pain, Paint, paint that picture o'er again! The westering sun his glory threw Along the sward of emerald hue; Save where, perchance in playful frown. Borne cool, green shadows nestled down, And idly shif ing with the sun Crept slowly eastward, one by one. Beneath the elm tree's waving crest, Where birdlings tossed in downy nest, And where alternate sun and shade, Like changing fancies, skipped and played, The old arm-chair, secure and good.

With widespread arms, inviting stood; And in its cushions, broad and deep, Grandpa and baby fast asleep. On rounded ckeek and golden head The sink ng sun his radiance shed; hile on the grandsire's silver crown A single ray dropped softly down, And then, in benediction, fell On both, and wrapped them in its spell. The breeze, in frolic, growing bold. Tossed up the rings of shining gold On baby's head, then with the gray On grandpa's head began to play, In the worn palm, securely pressed. One little dimpled hand found rest; The other clasped a withered flower, Culled, all at will, in nature's bower.

Fixed with the look of sad content On the worn face, a trifle bent; And forward drooped, to rest the chin My baby's clustered curls within While on the collar of his coat The gray and gold together float. Such tinting one might vainly seek As Slept on baby's lip and cheek; But thin and pale that other one, And sad and careworn in the sun. And so the evening shaddows fell. And deeper grew, but all was well. The elm tree boughs are gaunt and bare, And tossed about by wintry air, While pale, wan shadows come and go Upon the lawn all white with snow; But nevermore, at eve, or dawn.

It is quite possible that the resorters could find other places in which to swallow vinous and cereal liquids and to take will not find that chance if they remain where they are. To all such we would say that Kansas reaches forth its hands to you, and bids you come, and welcome.

Here you will find a hundred opportunities to get a good, new start. Here, under our beneficient laws, your eastern creditors cannot hound you to death and keep your nose to the grindstone. Here you will be protected from those remorseless pursuers who make a new start in business impossible. Here you will find ample opportunities for engaging in profitable business. Here, if you do not care to engage in mercantile pursuits or in manufacturing, or banking, or trade of any kind, you will find cheap lands, which you can secure for a mere song, whose fertility will make you a splendid living, with a wide margin for a rainy day.

Kansas is the best place on earth for any man to get on his feet again. It is the best place in the world for a poor man who is industrious, who has sand, who is energetic, and who has sense enough to avail himself to the most helpful conditions. Kansas is the poor man's paradise. If he can't get along here, he ought to starve to death, get out of the way and make room for those who are more fit to live than he. Kansas is chuck full of grand opportunities for clear brains and wiling hands.

Alabama is suffering from floods. Every railroad out of Montgomery is hopelessly washed up with the exception of the Selraa division of the Western.

The most prosperous, fore-handed, independent and happiest class of people in the world to-day are western farmers, especially Kansas farmers. Kansas farmers on an average, for the capital invested, have a smaller total indebtedness, pay a lower rate of interest, take less business chances, run fewer risks, and do a safer business than do the manufacturing and commercial classes of the country. The St.

Louis San Francisco officials are preparing a proposition to lay before the citizens of Wichita by which the railroad company will bind itself to erect a depot costing $75,000. The structure, besides the usual waiting rooms, will con-tain the headquarters' office for the entire western portion of the Frisco system. The company is also preparing to build two roads out of Wichita this summer, one southeast, the other southwest. Meade Center has just dedicated a Presbyterian church costing $4,000.

A peculiar gasoline explosion occurred at Lawrence last week. Mrs. Rosenthral was engaged in washing in a tub some clothing that had been saturated with gasoline for the pur- pose of cleaning. Without flame of any kind being applied to the water or clothing an explosion occurred with sufficient force to wreck the tub, and the woman was thrown a.

distance of twelve or fifteen feet and enveloped in flames. Her clothing caught fire and she was badly burned about the face and neck. She succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and it is not thought that her injuries will prove serious. The causa of this peculiar accident is what now trou come fit the uselessness of the sea, and of the expediency and wisdom of at once filling it into grade.
