Generally T had to start out pretty early in the morning, so 1'd get the hotel proprietor or clerk to take me down to the kitchen and give me something to make a breakfast of when I got under way. There was a sameness about hotel kitchen pantries in those days ; there wan’t much in them but bread, butter and pork. But such bread! Home-made, sweet, no alum in it. Such butter! Why, oleo- margarine hadn’t been heard of then. As for the pork, people who eat the distillery-fed stufl that some New York butchers sell don’t know what pork is. 1'd make a lot of sandwiches out of country bread, butter and fat pork and stow them away in the wag- on, with some grain for the horse. Before daylight I'd be out and away at a ten-mile gait, and ten minutes after starting I'd be fast asleep in my seat, with the reins around my wrist. My horse knew his business; he had twice as much sense as T had, He'd cross all the bridges and ford streams that weren’t bridged as long as it was dark, but at the first brook he struck after daylight he'd stop short. That meant business and I'd wake up.” *‘Business?” *‘Yes; breakfast, I1'd take him out of the shafts, take off his bridle, give him a mld drink and something to eat. Then I'd get out my own break- fast and make up for the absence of coffee by mixing some brook water and ico with something out of a bottle. Jerusalem! I'd give \a hundred dol- lars to-day for a meal that tastes as good as those breakfasts used to do, No close room, you know, smelling of the ghosts of thousands of bad meals; no dirty waiter lounging about; no played-out fellows straggling in for black coffee to clear their heads after last night's spree. 1 tell you ’twae just the poetry of living, even if it was on fat pork with a stump for a blo and a handful of leaves for a nap A COUNTRY-TAVERN MEAL, “But you must_have found some- thing besides pork at country tav- erns!” “Yes; once in a while, In court week or during the county fair they'd persuade somebody to kill a steer and at other times two or three sheep, but pork was the rule, varie egus.

T always accepted his apology, went into the dining-room and found in front of my plate a dish with a pile of trout lool ing like about two bundles of kindling wood, When I'd got through with that dish you couldn’t have fed a cat on what was left.” “How long did this last?” “Not half long enough,” sighed the manager, gathering in a reef of his wmarhum’f that he had unconsciously let out in memory of old times, rival concern offered me double pay and I went with them to break up the system of taking money ut the door. ou soe, there were two or three part- ners and each one thought the others were cheating him by collusion with the doorkeeper.

It raised a tremen dous row, scparated familics, you know, and set women and children erying. Protty soon the fellow would buy a ticket, come back and free his mind.” “Wouldn't ho show fight?” The manager winked profoundly. “Not after the taste he'd just lad of my muscle—oh, no. He'd pronourco it an infernal shame, though, and 1'd tell him I thought so too, a8 1 did, but I'd explain that I was only fol- lowing orders and he must not blame me for it, and as a rule he didn't, for 1 had already been known through the cireus routes for years as a pret decent sort of a fellow. I don't think the row helped the show any, though ~ Besides the owners got up a new wrinkle: nobody could go out, en if in sight all the while, without gain to go in-—no return cheeks. How did that work?” “It made no end of trouble. The fellow who had thecandy privilege used to go around Zand draw the canvas | walls up taut so us to make it as hot as Topliet inside, as it would increaso the demand for the vile tartaric acid mixture that he called lemonade. Just let me tell you that when you get five thousand people and a lun- dred wild animals in- a tight cany tent with the sun blazing down on it, the place is as hot as a blast furnace and smells like a New York gutter on a summer day. Why, once in a while a puft of that air used to come out of that door where T was standing and almost knock me flat: even a strong cigar under my nose wouldn’t helpme much. Of course people would want to come out for breath; I'd let them g0, but remind them that they'd have to buy fresh tickets to get back with. "Twas a regular outrage all around somo of the women would faint and the children would get sick, though men knocked under quickest in the bad air. Nine out of ten of the peo- ple who wanted to go out were men,” ““What did you do about it!" “I numbered them.” umbered?” ““Yes, I got a big picce of chalk and cut it down to a good broad point. When a fellow wanted to go out 1I'd tell him it was against the rules to come back without a fresh ticket, but that I'd make an exception in his case if he'd let me number him. 8o he'd turn around and 1'd chalk him across his back in big figures, any number that happened to come into my head.” *And you kept duplicates?” ‘‘Not much. I knew nobody else would counterfeit my signaturo—my figures, I mean—for the sake of get- ting in free; besides, I could remem- ber their faces, anyhow. When the fellow come back I'd turn him around, look at the number, say, ‘All right,’ and shove him in. Tt always made a big excitement in fown. T 'know one of the managers came to me one day and whispered that he thought a lunatic asylum had been let loose to come to the show. ‘What makes you think sof’ T asked. ‘Because there's alot of fellows around here with big numbers chalked on their backs,” said he. When I explained to hum he laid right down on the grass and rolled. I really thought he'd burst himself laughing.” “But didn't the chalk spoil their thes?” “That was their lookout. could choose betwoeen it and the price of unew ticket, When a tony fellow came along that could afford the fifty cents as well as not, but was too mean to do it, he was well marked and don't you forget it. A decent follow who Thoy wasn't very well dressed 1'd let off with a single figure and not a very biy one either—just big enough to warn him against voing out too often; but the tonier a man was the more chalk ho got. Someof them would have a whole sum in addition on their backs [and the figures were big cnough to read half a mile aw You ought to have seen me fresco the backs of a lot of British officers, in full uniform, up in Canada one day.

THE OUTLOOK IN KANSAS The Condition of Things Never More Gratifying Than Now. Kansas City Journal, June 21 A Journal reperter was introduced to a gentleman at the Union depot last evening, who was described \'y the mutual friend as a man who knew all about Kansas, and who declared the of the state were ‘‘madder'n beeause of the recent slander had: erop reports, “What portions of Kansas aro you familiar withi” asked the revorter, ““The entire state, as I have lived in Kansas ever since territorial days.” “What portions have you visited re contly?”’ “Tho districts traversed by the Kan- sas Pacific and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe roads, “‘What are the crop prospeetsi” “Nover better. Some portions have boen visited by chinch bugs, and the wheat erop is more or less dam- aged; but the great wheat belt of the state, with a vory fow oscoptions, has escaped uninjured. Along the Kan- sas Pacific, we Davis county as [ far out as Ellis, the wheat is looking | splendid. 'Tho straw is not long, but the heads are large and tha berry unusually large and well developed. The same may be said of the Santa Fo west of Florence in the Cottonwood valloy, out as far as farms have been opened toward the west lino of the state. “What about the devastations of nscets in the southeast?” ST presumo considerable damage Tias been done loeally, but that section does not come into the wheat belt of Kansas, and its entiro wheat erop might be lost without seriously affect- ing the aggregate.” *“What about other crops?” “The prospect is fine. The season has, in the main, been favorable for corn, of which an unusually large acreage was planted, and the crop is looking well. Tt is too soon to figure on results, but the outlook is very good. Oats and flax are good. Some gras; re being introduced to con- siderable extent in the eastern part of the state and do well. The older portions of the state are getting fine meadows of timothy and clover, and blue grass pastures are frequent. Fruit will be an average eron. Peaches that were supposed to have been kill- ed turned out much better that was feared. There will be an abundance for home demands, Apples are fair. Small fruits are abundant. “What of the general feeling among the farmers?” “The hopes of the farmers were never better; in fact I never saw a more gratifying condition of thiuzs in the state as o whole than at a. present time.” Fraud, Tens of thousands of dollars are kquan- dered yearly upon traveling quacks, who o from town to town professing to cure all ills that our poor humanity is heir to.
