Like the railroad and pioneer farmer it hews paths through unpeopled lands and plants cities in the desert. For every dollar it receives from the reluctant pockets of subscribers or advertisers, it returns one hundred dollars worth of good to the general community. Kansas people cannot esteem- their newspapers too highly nor be too liberal in the practical matter of subscriptions and advertising. 7 I 3V I 3 TRIBUNE One year for i When it comes to abolition, female suffrage, prohibition.

This world is so arranged and governed by inflexible laws that man of necessity is compelled to conform in obedience to their stern decres, in no instance can they be infringed without speedy inflection of just punishment; There can be no appeal from lower to a higher court for redress of grievance, technicalities and writs of error in legal parlance go for nothing; the just judge cannot be bribed. The immutable laws of production are clear and easy to understand yet too often not so willingly complied with; in the sweat of the face sustenance is oU-tained all are of necessity compelled to labcr, we dare not stand idle, the battle for bread and butter arid-clothing is on, the watchword, the battle cry, work or starve, begins with the raising sun every day in the year and continues so long as the lamp of life holds out lo burn-The diligent do not complain of the task they have to do, their genial -active minds and nimble hands are always busy, want finds no lodgment within their dwelling places. Here in sunny Kansas the natural environ-ments that surround us are bleak and dreary, nothing butetherial sky to obstruct the vast monotonous range of vision.

The period of transition from desolate prairie to forests and groves of timber and fruit orchards prevails and skould be much more generally eularged, it would conduce to the beauty and prosperity of our country greatly- The resubmission question was set down on most beautifully by the legislature. The Eureka Herald says that Hardpan Alliance in Elk. county, excelled a member because he was a Republican, and suspended, for thirty days, a third party man, for stealing corn. A young wife in Michigan had just settled in her new home. All seemed fair and promising, for she did not know that her husband was a drunkard.

But one night became home very late and much the worse for liquor. When he staggered into the house she was very much shocked, she told him he was very sick and must lie down at once, and in a few minutes he was fast asleep, his face flushed purple and altogher he was a most pitable object. The doctor was sent for in haste and mustard applied to hands and feet. The doctor felt the patient's pulse and said: "lie is drunk; he'll bo all right in the morning." But the wife insisted that her husband was very sick and demanded the use of severe remedies. Said she: "You The oldest paper in the world is the King-Pan, of Pekin, China, which was established in the year 911.

Miss Neanie Gilles formerly of Hazel Dell, now of Eaton, was uarried last Wednesday Feb. 25th. Pete Golden sent to the Whitewater book store for a supply of stationary which to our mind speaks volumes. List Tuesday evening a lively company gathered at Mr.

Anderson's and spent the time, which was only too short, in playing Hoop-a-la. Art Stevensons side carrying off the honor again. Art's good on a hoop, (whoop) as well as a (bawl,) Alex Golden, another "number one" young man, of Hazel Dell, has gone to try the climate of Colorado for his throat. His pleasant face and genial company is sadly missed in our social circle and we feel yery much like holding an indignation meeting if this transplanting ia not stopped. On last Tuesday eve a week ago most of the young people of Hazel Dell and some of Pleasant Ridge, met at Mr.

Stevenson's whereevery body did what they could "for the enjoyment of the company. The performers on two violins, one bass viol, and the organ lent their aid in makeing the evening a pleasant one. Stevenson we understand has been appointed mail agent from AnneWy as far as section thirty, "Lige" is a most worthy young man and we congratulate those who have been so fortunate as to secure his services as well as rejoice with him in his promotion. Five of our youthful young men, Al. and Charlie Stevenson, Jimmie and Charlie Reffaer, and John Golden said good-bye to the school room last Friday which accounts for the leiigthing shadows th-it have been settling over their once happy faces.

"Coming events you remember cast their shadows before." Our wolf hunt came off Saturday as pre-arranged and as we galloped along from the four points of the earth's circumference of sections 32, 33, 28 and 29 with our rifles scrapped the sides of our noble steeds, it looked for all as if there was going to be a "bloody war" among the weeds, Wtll so far as the hunt went it was a grand success, but the -find, language fails when we try to discribe that part of it. Hazel Dell believes in keeping abreast with the times, if others have a wolf hunt, so will we, if others fail to find them then we'll act accordingly. Nothing like being "in the fashion" you know.

This is a bold assertion and is liable to create criticism in a section of the country where farmers are not made self sustaining. A farmer who buys his meat and corn is no fanner.

The patient lay all night in a drunken sleep, and notwithstanding the blisters were eating into his flesh, it was not till near morniug that he began to be disturbed by the pain.

About daylight he woke up to the most uncomfortable consciousness of blistered agonies. "What does this mean?" he said, putting his hands to his bandaged head. "Lie still, slid his wife." "You must not stir, you are very sick." "I am not sick," he replied. "Oh you are, you have brain fever. Wo have worked with you all night." "1 should think you had," groaned thevictum.

"What's th raitter with my feet?" "They are blistered." "Well, I am better 'now, take them off, do." And he pleaded piteously. He was in a most uncomfortable state, his head covered with sores, his feet and hands still worse. "Dear," he said, groaning, "if I should ever be sick in this way again, don't be alarmed and send for a doctor; and, abeve all, dou't blister me again. "Oh, indeed I will. All that saved your life was the blisters, and if you have another such a spell I shall be more frightened than ever, for the tendency, I am sure, is to apoplexy, and from the next attack you are more likely to die unless the severest measures are taken." He made no further defence and never had the seoond attack.

Record. From the same line of reasoning, the man who has passed a life time building houses, is no carpenter.un-less he builds himself a house, the lawyer no attorney unless he pleads his own case, the doctor no physician unless he prescribes for him 4 ilf, and Jay Gould no railroad ma if he rides on other roads but his matter is to say the least marvelous indeed. When the breaking-pJow was in demand and everybody flipping sod over, all were after money, are after it yet, and while we are all on the rampage after this corrupting sorcerer it would be well to pause a little; consider the pecuniary importance of planting trees, then make an open profession that it is true gospel and go to work in the pathway of saving grace in a more liberal planting of trees. Perhaps a ma-, jority of us came out of the it certainly is time that we were all getting back into them by planting, more and larger groves- There is no better place in this world to hide money than a good sized body of woods, always in sight, always safef always burglar proof and constantly increasing in interest value. The greatest need in our country at ent is a tree planting boom; we should have more safe places of deposit, and these we can have by more liberally planting of This we owe to ourselves and the commonwealth as a lasting benefit to our country and posterity.

farmer must keep his head. He is as liable to go after a boom as anybody else. A few years ago there was a cattle and at one time the path to wealth lay in buying a and last winter everything depended on every farmer sawing his old cow's horns off close to her head. Then there is irrigation so much talked of of late, and I am reminded of a man who had a special aversion to the doctrine of the future eternal punishment of the wicked. 'But what would you 6aid a clerical friend, 'if, 1 showed you a passage in the Bible that proved beyond question that this doctrine was was the reply, '1 would read in some other part of the And so if it can be hown that irrigation was practicable in certain parts, even of Kansas, I believe I would settle in some other part of the state.

Then we hear talk of the 'climate but there is no occasion worry about the. climate. A state that has never had a well authenticated fatal case of sunstroke is not too warm, and a state where a careful record as kept for twenty-one years, shows that the average number of days in the year when the mercury goes below zero is only seven, is not too cold. The climate is well -enough as it is. Some say the rain-fall is increasing, and some say it is not, but the main point is for the JCansaa farmer to stay right here, so that in case the increase does code he will get the benefit of it Irf THE PLACE TO BtfY- GA.
