Editor Drawing on His Imagination.

A wireless post card which we expect to receive tomorrow from T. F. Downing, who is still helping his wife visit relatives in Jasper county, Ind., says: “Rensselaer is a lot bigger town than when it first started, and several new families have moved in since we left here thirty years ago —of course a few have moved icWay, but no one has grown any older. In passing through Chicago I noticed that they now have electric lights in that city, and also street cars on Main street; think they had just had an awful rain there, anyway Lake Michigan was almost bank full. There is no end of good things to eat back here, and 1 have gained almost a quarter of a pound in five weeks, and the weather is so nice and cool that I am wearing my heavy clothes. This is a great country inhabited by a grand good people, many of Ihem our relation, but Little River, Kansas, is the best place on earth, Europe not excepted even in times of peace. Will try and get home before the watermelons are all gone-—if not save me a few sixtypounders.”—Lil tie River (Kansas) Monitor.
