Two ypatu iro thin month sixty thousand copies of the Mitntv'n wore Ismied nnd now it has reached tho mafjnifloont Hjf uros of flvo hundred thousand copies n month. Frnnk A. Mtinsny deserves great credit for milking It possible for tho peoplo to tfet ouch nn excellent magazine for ten cents n copy. An exehnnjro says that n htimhlo boy with a shining pail went slnirlntr pally down the valo to where a cow with a brindlo tail on tho alfalfa did tvjrnlu. A bnmblo beo did gaily sail over the soft shady vale, to where the boy with ft shining pull, was milking tho cow with tho brindlo tail. The boo lit on tho cow's left ear, her feet flew up through tho (atmosphere, nnd through tho leaves 'of a Cottonwood tree, tho boy soared Into eternity. Tho statement of the business of nil lines of the Pennsylvania railroad com pany for September was issued Oct. 30th. All lines east of Pittsburg and Erio as compared with the same month in 1804 show: An inereaso in gross earnings of $2SS,4.')0; nn increase in ex penses of ?20,202: net earnings of $20,. 194. The nine months of 1W as com pared with tho samo period of S04, show: An inereaso in gross earnings of $4,002,01; an Inereaso in expenses of $3,575,087: nn inereaso in net earnings of H,02f?,944. ' A hundred years ago tho post office carried only 2,000 pieces of mall a day. Now there are more than 9,000 letters and packages dropped into tho mails every minute. In 1S02 there were handled 15,000,000,000 pieces. The reg istry lotter system has been vastly de veloped, so 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 6,500,000 registered letters, 1,3.V, 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 mall letters, 1 15,000,000 local 150,000,000 postal cards, and 200,000.000 newspaper. The Itiftimnin't Journal of Clearfield," in speaking of the eighth commandment, '"Thou shalt not steal," says: "Less than fifty per cent of tho population nro const i tut tonally honest. Tho command ment is broken by peoplo who want to have some standing in society. An honest man is a rare thing in this day. Some have been tested nnd found pnro aB gold, while others have leen tried and found that nil they desire is to escape tho eye of human, to say nothing of the eye of God. A very pious man of this place was put to a test recently. A purse, seemingly well filled, was placed upon the street he was known to travel. He came along, discovered it, picked it up, and then cast around to see If any porson was watching. See ing no one, he hastily pushed it in his pocket, repaired to a secluded place, examined the contents nnd finding noth ing of value stealthily returned and laid It where he found it. What would he have done If that pockotbook had contained $1,000? The man who does not steal because ho is afraid of public criticism is a thief at heart, and the country Is full of just such poople." There are many things in and about ItoynnldHville thnt wo 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 tho 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, tho people of Keynoldsville have had an abundance of pure sparkling water that bubbles up from a half dozen or more springs on the hlllsidos east of town, flows into the dam and is pumped into tho reservoir. There has been much suffering in various places among the peoplo and animals from the drought, but the people of our town have not lacked for' water. Thanksgiving day draweth ulgh and while the devout jkjoplo of this place assemble in their various places of worship they should not forget to return thankB to the 'Giver of all good and perfeot gifts'' for the fountains of water that did not run dry while a water famine existed In various parts of tbe state. Good wutor works Is one of the best of recommenda tions for a town when industries are looking for locations. Tbe water sybtom of this town has been tested again and again and. so far it has always been sufficient to supply the needs of our ' f iopia. LETTER FROM KANSAS. A GROCER YM AN OF REYNOLDS VILLE DESCRIBES THE STATE. A Good State for Oitls Poor Bnchelors. Place for llAHKl.TOJI, KAR., Oct. S1, 1KM. F.niTon STAn: l'crhnps no rountry on the Anicilcnn eontlnont hns liecn no tlioronitlily boomed ns the territory Itnnwn ns Southern Kntin. Nor In them n rountry from tho holders of Austria to the vino rind shores of t'lillfnrnlti whose niitunil resources will ad mit of mom honmiiiK than this. The first. Impression one gets of this einiiitry lifter a tiresome Journey of fifteen hundred miles Is hynomenns pleusnnt. You are urcetcd hy n bread, lint prnlrle hundreds of miles In ex tent Bt every point of the eompnss, with nothing hut blue sky nhove nnd prnlrle prnsH as fur us the eye run carry, which Is often thirty or forty miles. Without the silirhest vnrliitlon In the scenery n person Is Untile to ho sleed with tho "Jim .Turns" or, In other words, a weird, lonesome feeling very forci bly presses Itself upon jon. Ho urcnt Is the monotony at first thnt ono readily Imagines Hint tho line of ghosts which Mncheth miw or even the .Tnekson street monster would bo A relief to the tired vision. This, however. soon wenrs off. The first Inhnhltnnts of this country, iiltlinuirh hardly necessary to state. were the buffalo nnd the red mull. I mention the hiilTulo ns nn luhnhltiitit In connection with the Indliin, tltoimh not Intentionally doing him tho buffalo any Injustice, for In comparison he Is by fur the superior, and ns hum ns the plains are Inhabited his memory will lie kept sacred by the ever present and tndest met utile buffalo wallow, n shallow pool, made by trumping and wallowing. llnfTnto were said to tie as plentiful nn theo prairies fifty or sixty yenrs ago ns tho stars In tho mllkywny. Plenty of men, with n tlngo of romance In their makeup and ns Is suspected only a slight tinge of truth, nm w illing to testify that their fathers saw herds of them that took hours for them to pass and thnt greatly resembled n moving plain. I'or miles and miles nothing but a moving, surging mass could be seen. The events w hich form the basis for these highly colored stories, like the earliest (ireek history, Is seen only through the curtain of tradition. We am certain that the buffalo existed hcre'tn largo numbers nnd iimld these myths and tradi tions facts grew rapidly Into fables. Kansas people never hesitate to tell a good story. The buffalo and Indian finally gave way to the Cattle Huron, cowboy nnd Texas steers. This- Is the burly, hrnsky cowboy of fifteen years ago who Is so thoroughly advertised all over the known world, tho hero of every school boy And the terror of the plains, not the quiet, mild fellow that now looks after kows." Tho above trliimvlrato flnnlly re treated southward before successive waves of Immlgntlon nnd thus the most, formidable nnd threatening barrier to civilization was removed. Wo hiivo heforo us to-day tho Kansns grnnger In all his varied experiences, nt times on the top rrest of prosperity, only to lie preclplt.ited to grovel In the depths of Adversity. Farming In Kansas until the pres ent, especially for tho Inst four years, has been both successful nnd unsuccessful. Suc cessful hecniiso tho Kansns farmer Is of a peculiar makeup; not In Africa's (lin k forests or burning deserts, nor In tho hind where the cresent towers above the cross enn such ener gy he found ns In these gritty, sandy sons of toll. Unsuccessful on nccount of hot winds burning up crops. Notwithstanding nil these failures tho Kansas farmer Is by no means discouraged. They nre as hard to discourage and ns truly heroic us were the Ppnrtnn sol diers ul Thermopyhi'. Ingalls says Kansns enn promise mom In June and pny loss In September nnd promise less In feptcmlier nnd pay mora In lime than any state In the I'lilon, due to the hot winds burning up crops In July nnd August nnd a heavy wheat crop tho following summer. These, after an un due amount of experimenting hnve found the crops most suitable for this locality. The wheat crop this yenr wns a failure, oats only fair. Corn Is a good crop nnd Is now being husked "shucked" Is the western term. Most of It Is being crlblicd as It only brings twelve cents a bushel of mi jiounds, shelled. Katllr corn, one of the givntcst feed crops that was ever grown, Is everywhere abun dant, stock men claiming to lie superior to any oilier grain for feeding cattle and hogs. This, nlsive nil othorcerenls, seems to lie es pecially adapted to tho Kansas cllniato, as It Is not Injured by dry weather. Two crops cun be raised In n single season from one planting, When wheat raising was tho rage the country was stripped of nearly nil tho hogs nnd cuttle. Every energy wns turned to raising wheat. Tho wheat belt seems to have changed and ngnlu the country Is filled with onttlo anil hogs. It Is conceded by nil that this Is one of the best stock countries bet ween tho itocktos anil tho Atlantic. Winters are mild and short, requiring fur less feed thnn In eastern and northern states. Thcttnnuclnl troubles of the last two years, coupled with the poor wheat crops and low prices have hnd a very depressing effect, hut now they seem to have a turn In the road and am In a fair way to make money, and when wo consider tho condition of some of the older states we Hie forced to the conclusion that thero are many advantages In Kansas for farmers that older states cun not offer. Morally speaking, Kansas Is up with any other place In the world, and In an educa tional senso sho Is foremost In tho rank. Almut tho first thing a bachelor notices la that there Is a plentiful scrarlty of girls, In the ratio of nlxiut six men to one woman, and If the "Hopeless Dozen" were hero thelrcaso might Indeed lie hopeless. Doc. Harbison, with ull his facial beauty and munly bearing, might succeed by going south Among the squaws. If 1 were u young woman with marriageable ten delictus I would coine to Kansas, and If I worn a bachelor 1 would do Just us 1 urn going to dogo buck to Western l'eiin'u und trust tho rest to luck. Peoplo seem to lie us rigid hem In clinging to fashions lis they nre In Die east. Shoes are Just as pointed, hats with the same niUplaced-llower-garden appearance, mastodon sleeves und the wholo curriculum Just us exacting. Tho warm climate seems to have a collaps ing effect on the sleeves and one would suppose a bicycle pump to Inflate theoi would give them their normal as well as ridiculous apiM-'urunco. The people III the the towns and cities am of a migratory dispo sition ami are of the opinion that they am needed In the oust. The political put hero Is beginning to simmer In Ti lively way. The populists seem to have It pretty much their own wuy. Kvory populist Is not only an ora tor hut a financier! though his wife may make the living by washing, yet this diss not conflict Willi his opinions so ably set forth from the dry goods box which he holds down. The clear and brilliant atmosphere of Kan sas gives to lis Italian skies a richness which bus ulwuys iM'cn tho admiration of travelers and baffling the ability of even an Angiio or a llaplilcl to paint them. A Kansas sunset Is simply mugnlttcent In tho extreme. Sunset Cox, with his powers of description, would full to draw a fair picture.
