A nicer crowd of young people, never assembled in Lone Elm before; some very tasty dressing was done, and some of the most complete masking we ever witnessed; and it was the universal pinion, that in every way, this masquerade surpassed any ever given in Lone Elm.

W'e are glad to hear that he is getting along as nicely as could be expected, after going thro' so severe an ordeal, and we hope he will have a speedy recovery.

Editor McDonald of the Oxford Register, concluded that he would leave Kansas and try his luck in the fruit business in California. The prospect was alluring, Ihere was the glorious climate, the eternal spring that real estate agents had described in seductive circulars. There was the prospective smell of orange blossoms ami golden lr, it. There were alluring picti es of shaded urives and paralyzing figures of profit in lemons and tigs and walnuts. There were gorgeous word paintings of vineyards where the grapes hung purpling on the vines.

The fact is that as painted by the talented real estate agent California is a laud where every prospect pleases and only a semi-occasional man is vile. A tar of this delightful country seems to have satisfied the Kansas editor. He writes thftt he wants back. Wants to get back into a dingy newspaper oilice that has dobs of ink on the floor and a tabic full of exchanges piled up in de-lighi'ull confusion. Other editors have tried to leave Kansas and after a year or two wandered back.

Koine people wond-der at it. We don't. Of course the wind snorts and blows and rips up the gravel and grass roots and fills the type cases and the editor's back teeth and eyes with sand and small gravel stoiies, but then there are intervals of eligh't when the atmosphere is full of ozone and gentle as a maiden's smile; when the air is full of music of reapers or the hum and whir of thrashing machine. Those are the times when the editor forgets that his taper bill is due tomorrow and that the b.isemeui of his emu have been reii-foreed by a careiul wife; and lifts up his vuice in songs of praise. And then 1 knows the fellows in Kansas and aati call a heap of 'em by name.

There is a hit of comfort in Knowing a lo) of fel vvs by their first names. Otii in California lie doesn't know anybody to speak of ami he is too old lo transplant, lie doesn't get used lo the new kind of soil. It isn't any wonder he wants lo get back 4o Kiiisas. And there are drawbacks to tue fruit business anyway We are blamed glad we aren't a Chinaman. Aside from the fact that, in our opinion, the average Chinaman doesn't rank up us a pbisieal specimen with the average Anglo -Saxon, we are glad we don't live under a government that doesn't appear to have enough virility to whip a mouse.

All any government that wants a slice of China has lo do is to send over about load of men armed with shot guns and demand it. Any old thing In thii shape of a government, appears to be able to make China come to time. We have no doubt that if one of tie little 2x1 Republics of Central America was to send a canoe load of m-n over to Pekin and demand a port or cIiiiiik of territory, the Chinese, would give it up, The Celestials seem to have neither sand nor patriotism.
