KANSAS PARMEES' UNHAPPY LOT,
of
noDUlur ignorance as
the present century ends and the next one
fceglns. People are writing to the news
papers to And out, and If every newspaper
should state the fact accurately a nuna
.red timet a year from now till the nine
teenth century 1b ended, every community
would, still contain persona Insisting .that
January 1, 1900, will mark the beginning
ot the twentieth century. lt.would be an
excellent thing If teachers in the public
schools everywhere should take special
pain to Impress on their pupils the fact
that the new ceutury will not arrive tin
.Tnnnarv 1. 1901. The lesson will need to
ie repeated many times In order to make
the. 'impression lasting. Terhaps state
school superintendents might wisely Issue
a oircular letter calling attention to this
matter at an early date,
The fBct of uot importpuce with re
gard to the existing financial troubles o
the government is that they are prlmar
ily and principally attributable to Dam
-ocratic iuoapaelty in the management
public affaire. It is easy to give tech
4iloal reasons why this or that particular
thing comes to pass in the current oper
ations of the Treasury, but such expla
nations should not be allowed to obsoure
the original cause of the misfortune or
to modify the responsibility of the party
in power. The simple truth is that Dem
ocratic rule is not conducive to tile pros
perity of the country. It creates distrust,
and embarrasses bnstuess, and depresses
.all kinds of Industrie. ,Tbls Is not a
inatter of conjecture or speculation, but
f practical experience. The dlflioulty
began soon after the present Administra
tion came in, and It has continued ever
vstnee That Is to say, at no time during
that period has there been a feeling of
perfect security. On the contrary, there
im been a constant apprehension of

Ono cool autumn day I took an cxnrese

fire, on which I procoedod to broil my

all know that I had gono out for boars, I
thought thnt I would rather spond all

'Nicht camo on, nnd still no bears. I
decided to camp out. Shooting a couplo
more saco hens, I hunted up an empty

undoubtedly must bo a man. But what
sort of a mau wns ho? Was ho, whlto or
Indian, on honest man or o crookf That
w as tho question I determined to solve
boforo I let him know I was ln tho neigh

voices wero hushed to a whisper. Then
ono of them culled out:

" 'A friend, a white man,' I replied,
"An uncouth looking man opened the

appoaranco. Among them I recognized
two men who had onco been teamsters In
tho train of Lew Simpson, had been dlt
charged a fow months boforo nnd had then
disappeared. It was said that thoy had
robbed and murdered a ranchman and
gono off with Ids horses.
I acknowledge that my heart tailed me
for tho moment, but I envo no outward

I thought thnt if I left my gun behind
mo they would be suro I would como, back
for it. My real intention, nowovor, was
to sacrifice It and got aWny from that spot
as qulokly as possible. The ruthans evl
dently saw through my plan, for two of
them spoko up and paid, 'Wo will go down
with you to got your horse, nnd you will
leavo your guntiohlnd you.'

sent. After all,-1 thought to myself, I
will bo better off with two of tho scoun

I picked up tho lions and followed
the man who was leading the horse. It
had now become quite dark. I put my
