A DREAM
One eveniner recpniw
in.' the Kansas City Post the wonder
ful things that' had been done for
Hays and the great things to be . ac
complished in the near future, we be
came dazed, as it were, in thinking of
thewizard intellect ihatcould conceive
of and bring forth such great achieve
ments. We retired in
a trance and dreamed that Hays was
a city of 50,000 inhabitants, that a
great, white way extended from a mile
south of the Experiment Station to
several miles north beyond the pres
ent limits of our little city. That
every street was paved and parks
dotted the residence portion in which
were beautiful artificial lakes, that
were visited each evening by the
pleasure-seekers of the city. Our sub
conscious mmd wandered on and we
saw beautiful houses peopled with
happy and contented citizens. The
marts of trade had extended several
blocks each way from Chestnut street
and the roar of traffic was deafening.
Our police force had been augmented
to over a hundred husky looking
guys who told the pedestrians, in no
uncertain language, to move on if
they chanced to obstruct the walks in
the business part of the city over a
stated time. The large and imposing
structure near the U. P. depot built
of marble and white sandstone is the
Metropolitan Hotel the pride' of the
city. It was ten "stories high and
furnished in palatial like splendor. On
top of the structure was constructed
an airplane hanger. The ,top floor
was occupied by the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. The electric
elevator which started in the lobby of
the hotel carried the guests to the
floors above. Everything was modern
and right up to the minute. The
plane, the "areolite," which was
housed in the hanger ,on the roof of
the hotel was for the exclusive use of
the Secretary, who superintended the
most minute business detail of the
city and made extensive weekly
trips looking after the interest
of lesser cities, but the pride
and child of the Secretary was
Hays. The plane was a modern won
der. The Secretary must have had
access to the Geni of Aladdin's lamp,
from its beauty of design and rich
ness of furnishings. Radium rays,
the most wonderful power ever dis
covered, was used as the propelling
force. It was well named the "areo
lite" as its speed was so great that it
looked like a blur or a haze when in
full flight in the daytime, and at night
it shone like a comet, so swift was its
passage through space.
A new flouring mill on a lot pro
cured from Schlyer & Arnhold, cor
ner of Chestnut and Juniata, with
capacity four times greater than the
present mill, and equipped with the
most modern machinery, was in full
operation.
Miller Brothers' Land Company
and ' the Bird Land Company were
using airplanes to facilitate their
greatly enhanced land business, and
the whirring of airplane propellers
was almost incessant during the day
and far into the night.
C. W. Reeder & Son, the exclusive
clothiers, were flourishing like a
green bay tree, and were thinking of
a new building to accommodate their
increasing business.
The new government building,
fully up to all modern requirements,
kept Bert Clark, the postmaster, and
a large force of employees busy as
bees from early morning till late at
night. The banks were overflowing
with, money.
- Louis Christiansen had just been
ejected bounty superintendent ior
the fifth time, and Frank Loreditsch,
our new sheriff, was kept busy abat
ing "white mule' still3 and chastis
ing the various human delinquents
who will naturally drift into a large
metropolis like Hays.
Bissing Brothers' Shoe Store and
cleaning establishment - now in the
heart of the city, was humming like a
beehive. Leiker & Son had erected
a fine building and moved onto Chest
nut street. A. A. Wiesner & Son had
seen the handwriting .on the wall and
were advertising regularly in both
papers; and . Schmoekel had at last
condescended to advertise in the Free
Pres3 we were surprised. John
Miller had just finished a fine large
brick building in which to house his
fast increasing business. The Free
Press and the News here we re
ceived a jab in the ribs from our
better half "who vigorously admon
ished us that if we didn't quit snor
ing so loud we would disturb the
whole house. My! but it was a won
derful dream.

Mining Potash.
Potash In Germany occurs in the
form of a rock salt and nans In seams
of thirty feet or more in thickness.
As mined It has about the same con
sistency as the common rock salt of
commerce, and Its grinding is easy.
The depths at which the true potash
deposits are situated make It neces
sary to sink shaft leading to levels
of as much as 5.000 feet below the
surface.
Real Meaning of Old Saying.
The Englishman's misuse of the as,

a peculiar fashion. Our forefathers
were wont to declare that a person
was as mad as an atter. This has
now become "hatter and most people

of fact the original "atter" meant
"adder."
Tides Move Big Building.
The historic Tower of London moves
four times daily as the tides of the
Thames liver ebb and flow. The
movement Is most pronounced In the
part nearest the river. The move
ment Is doe to the fact that many tons
of water penetrate under the founda
tions with the rising tide, which move
ment has the effect of moving upward
the whole mass of the tower.
High Blood Pressure Curable.
High blood pressure can be overcome
In most cases by exercise, says the
Canadian Life. This cause of the many
rejections in life Insurance Is not usu
ally a permanent disorder. It can be
cured by exercising, gently at first,
and Increasing up to a reasonable
amount. Clients who have been re
jected on this account should be ad
vised to take up some moderate form
of exercise, and In the course of a few
months they may be acceptable.
Dream Evidently Impressed Him.
St. Paul's cathedral is cracking up
a bit, but to the average Intelligence It
Is at. least as "safe as houses." A city
man whose place of business is in the
shadow of the cathedral Is not so sure
about that. He bad a vivid dream In
whipb he saw the vast building crum
ple up and demolish all the adjoining
property In Its fall. So disturbed was
his mind as a result that he at once
went to an underwriter and took out a
policy which will cover his loss if the
mighty edifice collapses!
These Nettles Deal Death.
Any species of nettles Is unpleasant
enough to handle roughly, but some of
the foreign ones are most formidable
plants. Several of the East Indian
forms are truly dangerous, for, after
the first Itching sensation has passed
away It Is often followed by that of
hot Irons being rubbed on the flesh,
and the pain Increases to such an ex
tent that after hours and sometimes
days the patient Is seized with symp
toms like those following Influenza and
lockjaw, while sometimes death re
sults. -
What Is a Weed?
According to; Webster's International
dictionary there are two definitions of
a weed: 1. Wild growth In the nature
of rank grass, undergrowth, or the
like. 2. Any plarV growing in culti
vated ground to the Injury of the
crop or desired vegetation, or to the
disfigurement of the place; an un
sightly, useless, or Injurious plant. The
following note Is added: A weed Is a
plant that Is not wanted. There are,
therefore, no species of weeds, vfor a
plant that Is a weed In .one place may
not be In another.
Tracing Ongin of Billiards.
Billiards is lH eved by some to
have been brought from the east by
the Crusaders, while others claim an
English origin lor. it and find It allied
to the game of bowls. Still others as
sert that the French developed It from
an ancient German game. It seems
pretty certain that the first person to
give form rnd rule to the game was
an artist uamed Henrique Devlgne,
who lived In the reign of Charles EE.
One writer sees In billiards the an
cient game of paillemaille played on
a table Instead of on the ground, and
this is a reasonable assumption.

The toad Is not looked upon with
any great amount of favor by the' aver

hood superstition that holds the lowly
hopper as responsible for warts still
lingers In many adult minds. In real
ity the toad Is a peaceful, friendly
little creature that can be trained In
a very few minutes to be "pals" and
after a week or so can.be made as
affectionate as a dog. They are cleaner
than any furred animal and are ex
ceedingly interesting as pets.

Windfall.
A windfall Is an unexpected legacy
or money dropped as It were from the
sky. The saying originated when the
English nobility were forbidden by
the tenure of their estates to fell the
timber, all the trees being reserved
for the use of the royal navy. Such
trees as were blown down, however,
were excepted, hence a good wind
often proved a veritable Godsend.
Proletariat.
The proletariat In Russia Is used to
denote the lowest and poorest classes.
It Is derived, through the French,

S is Constantly Guarded
As carefully as the sentinel guards the camp of his
comrades in time of war, we guard your telephone talks
over the long-distance telephone lines.
Your telephone is sheltered in home or office, but the
wires connecting it with telephones in other cities and
towns cross the hills and storm-swept prairies, subject
constantly to the ravages of the elements.
Day and night the wire chiefs watch the circuits,
testing them, keeping them clear and preparing in cases
of emergency to rush repairmen to the scent of trouble at
any hour.
To insure the public against sudden breaking of
poles, carrying down with them perhaps a score of wires,
at regular intervals pole-to-pole inspections "are made.
Every pole is tested, decayed wood scraped away and a
record of the condition of each pole placed on file so that
reDlacements may be made as needed.
g Carefully, constantly and unceasingly the long-
distance lines are guarded to provide immediate service.
