“If a man gets an idea Into . his head that the community he lives in cannot get along without him, the surest cure is for him to take a month’s visit somewhere," remarks E. B. Going of Osawatomie. "When he comes home he will find that the cow has been milked regularly during his absence, that the corn has bqp husked and cribbed Just as well as he could have done it, that the chickens and ducks and pigs didn’t stop growing during his absence, that the regular winter literary society has been organized and is making progress without his august presence, that the roads have been dragged regularly and that some of his own neighbors didn’t even know he had been away. There are Just a few of the little things that make a fellow realize he is not so many potatoes to the hill as he thinks he is."— Kansas City Journal.
