An exchange says that a humble boy with a shlntnsr pail went slmrlnir (rally down tho valo to where a cow with a brindle tail on the alfuUa did regale. A bumble bee did (rally sail over the soft shady vale, to where the boy with ft shining pail, was milking tho cow with tho brindle tail. The lwo lit on tho cow's left ear, her feet Hew up through the atmosphere, and through the leaves 'of a cottonwood tree, the boy soared Into eternity.

Now there are more than 0,000 letters and packages dropped Into the mails every minute. In 1S02 there were handled lii.OOO.OOO.OOO pieces. The reg istry lottcr system has been vastly de veloped, bo that only one letter In every 15,000 pieces of matter ever goes astray and becomes lost. As far back as three years ago It was estimated that the let ter carriers of Uncle Sam delivered in a year 5,500,000 registered letters, 1,3."),- 000. 000 other letters, 275,000,000 postal cards, and (100,000,000 newspapers, be sides collecting 300,000,000 local letters, 750,000,000 mail letters, llo.OOO.OOO local 1.

The command ment is broken by people who want to have soma standing in society. An honest man Is a rare thing In this day. Some have been tested and found puro as gold, while others havo been tried and found that all they desire Is to cscapo the eye of human, to say nothing of the eye of God. A very pious mnn of this place was put to a test recently. A purse, soomingly well filled, was placed upon the stroct he was known to travel. He came along, discovered It, picked It up, and then cast around to see If any person was watching. See- lng no one, he hastily pushed it In his pocket, ropalred to a secluded place, examined the contents and finding noth ing of value stealthily returned and laid it where he found it. What would he have done If that pocketbook had contained $1,000? The man who does not steal because he is afraid of publlo criticism is u thluf at heart, and tho country U full of just such people." There are many things In and about Heynoldsvllle that we could mention to recommend the town to the outsldo world, but there Is one thing that would not be out of place to mention at the present time and that is our excel lent water works. While the little streams have gone dry and the rivers become Impure that supplied other towns of this state with . water, the people of Reynoldsville have had an abundance of pure sparkling water that bubble up from a half dozen or more springs on the hillsides east of town, flows into the dam and Is pumped Into the reservoir. 1 There has been much Buffering in various places among the people and animals from the drought, but the people of our town have not lacked for water. Thanksgiving day dvaweth nigh and while the devout people of this place assemble in their various plucos of worship they should not forum to return thanks to the 'Giver of all good and perfect glftB" for the fountains of water that did not run dry while a water famine existed in various parts of the state. Good wutor works i one of the best of recommenda tions for a town when Industries are looking for locations. The water system of this town has been tested again and gaiD and . so far it has always been sulllolent to supply the needs of our LETTER FROM KANSAS. A GROCER YM AN OF REYNOLDS VILLE DESCRIBES THE STATE. A Qood State for Oitls Poor Bachelors. Place for llAr.Ki.Tos, Kan., ()rt. 20, tsM. KnlTon STAn: Perhaps no country on tho American continent tins boon so tliorouitlily tioomcd lis tlie territory known ns Southern Knnas. Nor Is I hero n eountry from the iMirders of Austria to tho vine rhul shores of California whose nnturnl resources will nd mlt of more IssvmliiK thnn this. Tho first Impression one gets of this eountry nflor li tiresome .tourney of fifteen hundred miles Is by nn melius pleiisnnt. Vou are greeted by n brond, lint prairie hundreds of miles In ex tent ill every point of tho eompnss, Willi nothing but blue sky ntmvo nnd prnlHc prasa ns fur ns the eyo run carry, which Is often thirty or forty miles. Without the sllghost rnrliitlon In the scenery n person Is llnblu to lie sirred with the "Jim Jams" or, In other words, n weird, lonesomo feeling very forci bly presses Itself upon Jim, f"o grout Is the monotony at first thiit ono rondlly Imnglnos Hint the lino of ghosts which Muclicth saw or oven the Jackson street monster would bo a relief to tho tired vision. This, however, soon wenrs off . Tho first Inhabitants of tills eountry, although Illicitly necessary to stnte, were the liutTnlo and the red man. I mention the Imi It'll lo as nn Inhabitant In connection with the T ti ill i l, tboiiL'h not Intentionally doing him tho buffahr any Injustice, for In comparison he Is by far tho superior, nnd ns long ns the plains are Inhabited his memory will Is) kept saered by the over present and Oldest met able hutl'iilo wallow, a shallow pool, made by tramping and wallowing. iliifTaln were said to tie as plentiful on these prairies fifty or sixty years ago ns tho stars In tho nillkywny. Plenty of men, with a tlngo of romanen In their makeup and ns Is suspected only n slight tinge of truth, are willing to testify that their fathers saw herds of them that took hours for them to pass and that greally resembled n moving plain, For miles and miles nothing hut a moving, surging inn-s could Is- seen. The events which form the basis for these highly colored stories, like Hie earliest lircck history, Is seen only through the curtain of tradition. Wo am certain that the buffalo existed heroin largo numbers and amid these myths and tradi tions facts grew rapidly Into fables. Kansas Is'oplo never hesitate to tell n good story. The l)ii ITn In and Indian llnally gave way to the emtio Karon, cmvlsiy nnd Texas steers. This Is the burly, brusky cowboy of fifteen years ago who Is so thoroughly advert ised all over tho known world, tho hero of every school boy nnd tho terror of tho plains, not tho quiet, mild fellow that now look after "kows." The above triumvirate finally re treated southward before successive waves of lmmlgatlon nnd thus tho most, formidable nnd threntenlng barrier to civilization was removed. Wo have before us to-day tho Kansas granger In nil his vnrled experiences, nt times on the top crest of prosperity, only to be precipitated to grovel In the depths of adversity. Farming In Kansas until the pres ent, especially for tho last four years, has lieen both successful and unsuccessful. Suc cessful because tho Kansas farmer is of n peculiar makeup; not In Africa's dark forests or burning deserts, nor in the land where the cresent towers above the cross enn such ener gy be found as In these gritty, sandy sons of toll. Unsuccessful on nceount of hot winds burning up crops. Notwithstanding nil those failures the Kansas farmer Is by no means discouraged. They are ns hard to discourage and as truly heroic as were tho Ppartan sol diers lit Tlieriiiopylie, Iugalls says Kansas enn promise more In Juno nnd pay less In Septemlier and promise less In Ceptemliernnd pay more In luno than any stale In tho I'lilon, due to the hot winds lim ning up crops In July and August and a heavy wheat crop tho following summer. These, afler an un due amount of experimenting have found the crops most suitable for this locality. Tho wheat crop this year was a falliui oats only fair. Corn Is u good crop and Is now being husked "shucked" Is the western term. Most of It Is being cribbed as It only brings twelve cents h bushel of IVI isiunds, shelled. Katilr corn, ono of tho giviucst feed crop that was ever grown, Is everywhere abun dant, stock men claiming to lie superior to any oilier grain for fis'dlug cattle ami hogs. This, nlsivo all other cereals, seems to be es pecially ndapted to tho Kansas climate, as it Is not Injured by dry weather. Two crops can he raised In n slngln season from one planting. When wheat raising was tho rago the country was stripped of nearly nil the hogs and rnttlo. Every energy was turned to mlslng wheat. The wheat belt seems to have changed and again the country Is filled with rnttlo and hogs. It Is conceded by all that this Is ono of the host stock countries between tho iioeklos llnil tho Atlantic. Winters uro mild and short, requiring far less feed than In eastern and northern states. The Hnanclal trouble of the, last two years, coupled with tho poor wheat crops and low prices have had a very depressing effect, but now they seem to havo a turn in the road mid are In a fair wny to make money, nnd when we consider the condition of some of the older states we are forced to tho conclusion that there are many advantage In Kansas for farmers that older states can not niter. Morally speaking, Kansas Is up with any other place In the world, and In nn educa tional senso sho Is foremost In tho rank. About the rlrst thing n bachelor notices Is I hat there Is ft plentiful scrarlty of girls, In the ratio of alsiut six men to one woman, nnd It the "Hopeless Dozen" were hem thflrcii&o might Indeed 1)0 hopeless.

If 1 were a young woman with marriageable ten deiicles I would come to Kiiiihus, und if I were u bachelor I would do Just as 1 am going to do go back to Western l'enn'tt and trust tho rest to luck. People seem to Iks as rigid here In clinging o fashions as they are In the east. Khoes are Just us pointed, hats with tlio same uilsphieed- flower-gurUiMi npiicaranec, mastodon sleeves und the whole curriculum Just us exacting.

Those who show a newspnor man a kindness never make a better Invest ment, or one that will pay them In larger returns. There ai o times in tho lifo of every man, may he be in either private or political life, when a newspaper can either make or break his future pros perity. Newspaper men like others, ore only human. They favor thoso who favor them nnd ttnmuke them who do them a wrong. Men tim often, In the vain Imagination of their own conceit, undervalue the true power of the press. No matter how powerful a mnn may be, the persistent effort of the press will kill his strength despite the best effort he may otherwise put forth. Kxchange.
