Xo, thanks, we don't care to occupy a seat so far back with you, for we have noticed, lo, these many years that when a young gent fails in every other busi. uess be most always turns up as a frut tree or insurance agent or with a little energy gets a job with the thunde and lightning-rod gang. Xo, no! We don't wish to be bored until we have to give twenty or thirty dollars to get rid of you, and as our education is somewhat on the bine-jeans style we fail to see when the honest sons of toil are so greatly benefited by this wise young gent's wonderful hobby. The same amount of money that it takes to carry this wonderful policy invested annually in heifer calves would lay bis insurance scheme so far back in the shade that it would be badly frosted in July.

We simply stated the situation as it appeared to us, and we will leave it to anyone if we didn't come nearer guessing the exact situation than you did when you guessed Reeder would be nominated on the first ballot. As being too late to get a place on the Rooks count' delegation to the congressional convention, we will just slate that we were earnestly beseeched by a number of our citizens and also by several at Stockton on the day of the county convention to let our name go before said convention as a delegate to the congressional convention, but positively declined.

And that was not all. We were urged to let our name go up for a delegate to the state con vention, but again positively declined, while in this case probably was entitled to the honor about as much as anyone, Kansas been our home for forty-four 5 shanties now own good substantial homes and can look with pride at a growing hank account or the addition of two or three quarter sections of land to their original homesteads.
