THE WOE OF THE KANSAS CROP SITUATION.
It is estimated that the hay crop -of Kansas for this
year will be double the value of the oat crop, that the
wheat crop will be double that of tho hay crop, and that
the corn crop wll be double that of ine wheat crop. All
that is wanting is some expert statistician to estimate
the value of the oat crop. The value of the oat crop once
determined, digits sufficient can be found in almost any
old arithmetic to figure out the aggregate amount of
money that will be realized from the sale of these four
Kansas products fcf the year -1303. The guess of the
state board of agriculture is that somewhere between
Bi-y and seventy millions of dollars will be banked to
the credit of the wheat, or say, $60 per capita, on wheat
clone. In some counties, in both the eastern and the
central belts, the corn crop will be a bumper. So far
hot winds have not talicn the kinks out of the tails
cf tho pigs nor the early grasshopper noticeably affected
the Leef steer contingent With poultry secure from late
frosts and fruit undamaged by cyclones, both the Irish
aad sweet potato crops, seem reasonably secure from
lightning. The Kaw valley reports excessive precipita
tion, but that section is understood to be subject to
water panics. The car famine is still more or less prev
alent in the Arkansas-valley, but the farmers of this arid
region have about concluded that ttiey can find sufficient
out-of-doors in which to store such of their surplusages as
the railroads will be unable to handle.

WM. VAN BENTHUYSEN A KANSAN. j
The death of Will Van .Benthuysen brousht out a !
gnod many comments on hisr rapid rise in newspaper
work. The following is from Congressman Charles
Scott;
"Probably you never heard of Wm. Van Benthuysen
until he died the other day. At the time of his death he
was editor of the New York World at a salary of ?25,000
n year."
"Wm. Van Benthuysen began his newspaper career
in Kansas. He was formerly employed on the Leaven
worth Times. He started in at the bottom of the ladder,
and climbed up round by round until he became one of
the foivniost newspaper men of the country. Yet you
ntvfr heard of him until he died, and the newspapers
commenced printing editorials telling of his ability and
genius and the story of his rise in his: profession. He
was little known outside of his profession, and yet a
man who conld have measured up to him in any .other
catling would havo acquired a national reputation and
would have been known from one end of the country to
the other. This is the difference between the newspaper
bu.-iness and any other business..
"Van Benthuysen's rise was rapid, and when he died
he was comparatively a young man. He went from the
Leavenworth Times to the Chicago Tribune, where he
was paid $10,000 a year, and from the Chicago Tribune
to a place that paid $25,000 a year on the New York
World. From within the space of a few years reads like
a romance, yet there is no romance about it It probably
meant the hardest kind of work a man ever did, and
doubtless cut many years off the end of his life. His
mo.st prominent characteristic was his capacity for hard
work, and plenty of it Burning the candle at both ends,
keyed up to the highest pitch from one year's end to
another, with never a moment of real rest or freedom
from anxiety these are the veriest commonplaces in
the modern metropolitan newspaper game.
"And yet you never "heard of a man quitting news
paper work to go into something else. For in spite of all
arguments that may be urged against it, it is the very
test business in the world."
-
HAVE COME TO THEIR SENSES.
A New York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger who knowfc Avail Street as he knows a book,
net. : that while evidences of the general prosperity of
the ( uutry are still plentiful in tins American metropolis
it is also quite palpable that less money is now being
expanded tor luxuries and that there is less useless ex
traas;ame than in many months. The course taken by
the bto-k maiket is undoubtedly the princpial cause of
tits unusual eooi.omy. Last summer and well into the
fall Uk s-call-"d "western crowd," aided by not a few
onst mhts. woic engaged in a reckless booming of the
se !uit mnrks-t Their plunging wag not confined to
Wail Streef. i.arirv gambling houses wore flourishing.
Ht Is. restaurants, florists, jewelers, and wine houses
vnTe re eiving an immense patronage. , Everywhere the
M'3tihy speculators were making their money flow."
Brokers were making greatuuniB from commissions and
frem their own operations in the market And as is their
-vm in such times, they wire spending money like
water. But it is a :ifYerent story now. For nine or ten
in mhs stocks have been dwliuuig. The "western crowd"
ii.. loi.cer give orders for elaborate dinners. The wealth
of the holders ef securities, as e. timated by tho stock
tape, has decn;:sl over a billion dollars, and they feel
tli.i i hey must reduce expenditures. Many large jewel
ers are holding orders, in abeyance until the hoped-for
return in the market should eome. while all complain that
little money, comparatively, is being spent for costly
trinkets-. Conservatism in expenditures sreems to be the
oter of the day. even among the wealthy, while absolute
economy is bniig practiced by many erstwhile high
fl e: s.

To which Charles F. Scott, congreasnian-at-large, in
hi lute Register replies. Mr. Scott says:
"If i here ha.- ever beou a time since the Tnited States
went to war fer Cuba that she hasn't distrusted and

. CRAWFORD'S LIFE OF THE FOPE.
It has bcren kno.wn for some time that Mr. Marion
Crawford had in preparation a biography of the late pope,
but till now there has been no definite information on the
subject It appears now, however, that the pope charged
Conte Soderini in 1897. that the "life' of him which should
be set forth as the official and. intimate one should be a
history, not a panegyric At that time the pope gave him
numberless documents hitherto kept secret, and dictated
much personal matter; but he left Soderini free to "use his
own judgment about the biography. It now appears that
Mr. Crawford has written neariy all of his biography of
the pope, with the collaboration of the Conte Soderini,
and with the cse of all the documents which the pone
gave the latter for the purpose. Tho English and Ameri
can editions of the book will 'appear early next year
simultaneously with tho editions in continental tongues.
It is understood that his holiness read and approved the
early portions of the biography, and that Ire approved
the general plan of the remainder.
A JOHNNY BULL CHARACTERISTIC.
Everything conceivable may be sold at auction in
London. Among the curious chattels put up to auction in
the last few years were a cargo of mummified cats, of
fered as fertilizers, an estate in Iceland, a million acres
in British Honduras, freehold pews in Worthing church,
floating baths in the Thames, the sub-soil of a portion
of the city road, a church at Sydenham, a Spanish rail
way which realized 25,000, a menagerie of wild animais,
the whole of the river Ouse navigation, with the right to
levy tolls under the statute, and an island in the Lipari
group ofl. Sicily, with a real live volcano among its at
tractions. The highest bid ever made at an auction was
the sum of 400,000. offered by Mr. Lister (now Lord
Masham) for Swinton Park.
FAVORS TAXING BACHELORS.
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark University came
out flatfooted at the meeting of the National'Educatiqhal
association in Boston, in favor of the taxation of bache
lors. "Statistics show," said Ire, "that marriage is& un
dertaken later in life than formerly, and late marriage
is one ofthe things which tend to the decay of civiliza
tion. When the normal man reaches forty and is still un
married, I am convinced that something is wrong, that
the man has neglected a duty and should be classified
with those whp will not fight for their country in time of
war or who will not pay their taxes."
SUCCEEDED THROUGH ADVERTISING.
A London advertising agent mentions forty companies
which have succeeded in gaining a large English trade
for their products through newspaper advertising, and a
dozen which failed although they used salesmen and cir
culars. The products of the successful companies are of
great variety, from lead pencils, corsets, graphophones;
typewriters, etc., to proprietary medicines. The agent
thinks the companies which failed expended nearly as
much money for publicity as did the others,- but did not
use it judiciously.

FORTUNE RUINED AND. VANISHED
It was the day of my deepest despond
ency, closing with a dark outlook that
promised only disaster. All had gone
wrong. The requested raise in a beager
salary had been dented; ray ve and
child, bo;h sick, had gone from home un
der our physiciaa's advice, at sreat ex
pense; that same physician's bill, for
nearly a hundred dollars, was in ray
pocket unpaid; rent was past due on
my little unpretentious flat and I had
issueu a check that would draw my last
dollar from the bank.
"What am I to do?" I asked myself, as
I tossed on my bed at midnight. I
courted sleep without avail. My mental
tortures were added to by a. distress
ing headache and a most'rebellious stom
ach. I thought of my sick wife and
chilu, and with every thought it-seemed
as though there came to mo the deep
voice of a great bell, ringing out the word
"ilcney!"
"Money! Money! Money!" I could endure-
it no; longer. I sprang from my
bed, dressed, and hurried into the street
hoping that fre3h air and exercise would
induce sleep. I passed the bank where
my last cheek had gone to destroy the
remainder of my small account, and
turned the corner into one of tho dark
est streets.
The exercise was affecting, my stomach,
and to rest my dizzy head I stepped into
a vacant lot through an opening in a
high, dilapidated fence.
For a few seconds I stood with my head
against the rough boards, when I heard
the sound of hurrying feet A man pass
ed, running rapidly, and threw something
that fell near me. A few seconds after
ward several other men went running in
the same direction.
What did it mean? What had the man
thrown in the lot? I stooped and cau
tiously raised a strong paper bag that
was quite heavy. I stepped to the open
ing in the fence, where some light from
a lamp across the street entered, and
examined. my lind.
'rMoncy! It is money!" I said, half
aloud, when I saw great packages of bills
that I knew must count into the thous
ands of dollars. "My money! My money!"
I was startled at the thought I felt
as though I was- guilty of a crime. No
one was in sight. I hurried past the
bank and into my lonesome home.
"The bank!" I. whispered. "It must have
been robbed, and the thief in his flight
throw the money away, hoping to return
and And it when the pursuit is over. He
will not And it. It is mine."
I saw that the doors were locked and
the snades down, and then I counted the
bills. Forty-two thousand dollars! I
could pay my debts and have ample
means to -restore my wife and child to
health. ' . -
"I possess a fortune," I said, and then I
tried to sleep. Sleep did not come, but
a question that seemed to be written In
letters of fire appeared before my closed
eyes "Is it my money?"
The bank had lost it without my fault,
the thief was not entitled to it, and for
tune had nlaced it in my hand. Thus 1
argued and tried to sleep.
"Shall I tell my wife and child how I
got the money?" I asked myself. Then I
felt more wretched than at any time be
fore. "I will return tho money to the
bank." Peace came with the thought
After a moment the vision of my terri
ble poverty was stronger than before.
"The end Justifies the means," I said.
"A little deception before wife and child
will only be a slight wrong and for their
great bonellt. Yes; that Is th way I will
have it." Then I tried to sleep.
"Must I live a He all of my life?" I
asked. "2Iust the getting of this founda
tion of a fortune remain a secret with
me? No! It wouldbo a living torture.
I will not make a slave of my soul."
Tiien for tho flrst time the thought of
a reward for the rcturp of the money.
That would "be something. That would
be legitimate. I determined to return the
money to the bank in the morning, and
then I slept
The sun was high when I awoke, and I
at once hurried for my morningpaper to
See what reward was .offered for tho re
turn of the money. Not a word did I
find about a bank robbery, but on the
first page, under startling headlines, was
an account of the raiding of a counter
feirers' den, which said:
"Four of the men found In the room
when the officers broko'in the door were
at once arrested, but the fifth man leaped
through a back window" and climbed down
a fire escape, carrying a' largo paper
bag,' which evidently contained counter
feit money. He was pursued for more
than a mile, but succeeded in making his
escape.'-
The Catnip Man.
(From the Detroit Free Press.)
"It's pretty near time for the catnip
trouble to start up again," the suburban
conductor remarked to the other man on
tho platform.
"The catnip trouble?" repeated the other
man. "What's the 'catnip trouble?' "
"Oh," explained tho c6nductor, "out
where my car runs catnip grows all along
the track thero's pretty near a mile of
catnip out there. Soveral years ago I
brooght in a ilittlo bundle and gave it to
one of ray neighbors for her cat She
parceled out that catnip all around the
block to all the other people who had
cats; and they tell mo that the cats near
ly lost their minds over that fresh catnip.
Most town cats, you know, never st
any catnip excepf this old, dried stuff
from the drug stores. It's pitiful. Isn t
it? I suppose lots of nice cats have Uvd
and died without ever tasting a bit of
fresh country catnip.
"Well, pretty soon some of tho other
neighbors began asking mo to bring them
a Htue bundle of catnip, and the thing
rolled up until now I ran a big catnip
business all summer without a cent of
money in it. either. I had to have my
daughter make a. list of my catnip cus

"The story has got out on me. too,"
continued the conductor looking a trifle
sheepish, "and some of the other men
call ma 'Old Catnip,' and they call my
car "The Catnip Car. But Jirniny. I
don'f care. It pleases a lot of, women

a hen whose sagacity is attracting the

chicks was about ten days old. The lady
was busy with her housework, when the
hen, greatly excited, flew into the kitchen
and, seizing the good housewife's dress
by the hem, pulled her violently toward
tliQ door. Tho lady, greatly astonished,
followed the lien, who led her out to the
poultry yard, and over to a heavy board.
