EDITORS ENJOYING TRIP. Many Interesting and Pleasing Sights Seen by The Press Party En rounte from Topeka to New Mexico. Atgust 4, En Route from Topeka, Kansas to Alberquerque, New Mexi co, on board Private Car "Star light:."-On and on we speed away from scenes familiar, and in-co a land -never befdre traveleid by a single -member of the party ,though one of the ,ou-rteous porters on the car has made the trip several times and so can :e somewhat of a guide, and then of course there are the many guide books one can refer to, for lhistorical and industrial facts as well. Resuming the thread of the story where we landed in St. Louis Wednes day night after crossing the wide ex panse of the Mississippi, it is scarce lv necessary to say that after three hours in that great city, riding on the finest trolley system in the county or viewing its handsome s,,w win dows in the business section (the stores themselves having closed at five o'clock) or wandering abc.ut the magnificient union station, the party returned to their home on wheels greacly refreshed and quite ready for their week days of travel west ward. Speaking of the union station. it is said to be the finest in the world, its majestic masonry covering two squares near the business dart of the city. and its vast track capacity being two hundred coaches at once on the 32 tracks, switches to which are worked automatically from a dis -patching station. The trip that night across the vast s-atee of Misscuri was a delightfully smooth one, and nothing disturbed the slumbers until the any call for breakfast next morning that the three hours in Kansas City might be spent to greatest . ;vantage. This is a wonderfully fer-tile stretch of level country, gradually rounding itself into hills, which grow steeper as one nears the City of Kansas, which to our sur prise we found to be a city of bluffs surmounted by - a crag, the masonry of the structures on its summit put ting one strongly in mind of fortifi cations. On the lower heights is found the business a.nd principal residence sec tion, whiich are both beautiful, and then down on the river front are the immense s:ock yards. where thousands of cattle are penned until sold to dhle packing houses. Near these -are the great packing housesL 'of the Armour Co. This river front so low that Only a few (lays previous the Missouri had flooded a vast area oft the city, covering !t ten feet deep and leaving a grimy- black mud that was anything but healthful and pleas ant. Just across the river is anoher K:mtsas City. tin Kansa5. Leaving that ca'y shortly before notun Thurs day, we resume our westward jour nev, for quitle a while following the line of the b)eautiful Kansas river, or Kaw, as it is call'ed there. our next s-toppin.g place being Topeka. Kan sas. the capital of Kansas. which is a very leve.l, beautiful city. Traversing that prairie state from Nort-ast to South-wes: we passed tWrough some interesting towns. whose 'industry seemed 'center in their product's of tihe s field after field of corn meeting the. eye. as wvell as immense tract:s of alfalfa with large storehouses at the stations. This soil is all ta fine 'black soil, and about the depots of even 'the smallest towns, the brick or other pavement as necessary. WVe had been warned of the exces sively hot area we would pass trharough in Colorado and New Mexico today. but on awaking this morning in the plains of Colorado. we felt that we were in our own Blue Ridge moun tains so far as atmosphere wvent. though the country was still on a! most a dleadl l-evel while at a great altitude. Being roused1 qu!:e early by the trair. slowly passing over a trestle. we looked out to find tha-t the Arkansas river was slowly m ovingj below us in banks greatly narrowed by 'rauht. thoutg'h there were sin of i; w:ate'-s having ;tre:ched far and! we-hro:gh the arms of its trin a-,The hour fo ':wo homr e tid:at which we left) was just before sunrise, and t'h'e morning glow ithe eact with the morning star brilliant above it was too great a Raise Our Ver IS AT Quattl so from the observation windows we[ watched the beautiful sunrise. As the red and golden glow faded from the sky, a few first low lying hills appeared along our way, and after the first peep at the magnificent monarch of tih!e skies, a curve in che road hid it from sight. A second time the glowing rays shot above the level of the eye, only to be again obscured, and it was not until a third look that we were rewarded in the huge ball of fire, at which one could gaze steadily for some time, rising majestic above t'e hills, monarch of earth as well. M. W. M. Credulity Of Women. Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian Canal commission told this story, ac cording to tihe Detroit Free Press, in illustration of woman's credulity: "A young man entered the drawing room of the girl whom he was soon to marry. "The girl came down -o meet him with a severe frown on her pretty ace. " 'John,' she said 'father saw you this. morning going into a pawnbro ker's with a large bundle.' "John flushed. Then he said in low voice. " 'Y,es, that is true. I was taking the pawnbroker some of my old clothkes. You see, he and his wife are frightfully hard up.' " 'Oh, John, forgive me!' exclaimed the young girl. 'How truly noble you are!'

Rensey Cunningham. a negro con vi here from Abbeville. was given his iber:y today after taking twenvy eight years to serve a twelve-year sntence for manslaughter. The fact that he escaped October 4, 1S883, and enjoed such liberty as a constant dread of and ever vigilant watchiul ness against recapture would permit unil he was picked tip again on August 16, 1899. and required to serve out the remainder of his twelve years, accounts for the fact that he took more than twice as long -o expiate his crime than was necesary. He wa but a lad when he went in, being only 18 years old; he came out a gray-haired old man today, bent in body, at the age of 46, and his face seamed with lines of hardship. Since his admission to the penitentiary in 1877 he has witnessed the admission into that institution of 14,286, which is more than the population of any city in the state outside of Charles ton ad Colum'bia. He was recaptured within sight of the gray walls of the penitentiary sixteen years after his es cape. When picked up he was at work on the quarry just across the Congaree from the penitentiary. Words of Wisdom. The noblest mind the best content men: has.-Spenser. The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.-Bacon. The seed sown in the ground con tains inl itself the future harvest. To carry the head above one's sta-! tion denotes ambition and a pride that is dangerouis. Finding fault over trifles is apt to blind the sight to errors of greater consequence. Economy that entails suffering shows lack of sound judlgment and brings few rewards. wo..Ae money all things else are Vour Ni , -y Fine OUR STABLI ebaurr PROSPER comparatively easy to give away, but when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possesion of him.-Lowell. To say, then, the majority are wick ed, means no malice, no bad heart, in the observer, but simply that the ma jority are unripe, and have not yet come to themselves, do not yet know their opinions.-Emerson. I long To acomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty and joy to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. It is my service to think how I can best fulfill the demands that each day makes upon me, and to rejoice that others can do what I cannot. Helen Keller. Just Between Emperors. Nicholas and Bill they met upon the broad deep, Nicholas was dopey. but Bill was not asleep; After all, this state of things was not so very queer, For Nich was drinking vodka, while Bill was drinking beer.
