Penny Liner Finds Good Copy in Kan-sat Gss Town But She Routs Kansas. Humboldt has been getting its share of notoriety during the past year, but until recently it has escaped the New York space writers. But now it has been included in that list. A news- paper woman who signs herself "Kath-crine Prence" recently made atrip through Kansas. She was sent out byv her paper to gather material regarding John Brown.

Of the type of the old maid school ma'am, she had never before been outside of the suburban train, or away from the strident voice of the conductor as he orders his passengers to "step lively." To her- the luxury of the Pullman car was something to be brought in mention as often as possible. With the inexperienced travelers luck, she wasalwavs landing in emigrant cars filled with "daoun east" travelers and she thought they were Kansans. With a mind narrowed by a lifetime spent on the Bowery and in Coney Island, she saw no beauty in the Kansas prairie, and imbibed no poetry from the Kansas breeze. To her it was nothing but "N'Yawks the place," and the flesh pots and steam heat of her own "third story back'! iat was the standard by which all things were judged. And yet 'she was after "copy." Everyone she met was looked upon with the cold cruel eye of the vivisec- tionist.

With 7 majestic meiii she summoned you into her presence. And then she began to pump. Every peculiarity, every movement, every expression was received, catalogued and laid away to come out later in an article entitled "In Darkest But she was' worth, while. Every movement and expression showed the satisfaction of living in "N'Yawk ye know." Her hearers were regaled with tales of "Celebrities 1 have She was so obviously refreshingly sat- lsfied with herself and her mission, that s'he was eDjoyable. And now comes what she said about Humboldt: Humboldt, as it greets the eye, is a platform a very small station-house, a few buildings off beyond, and limit less brown prairie.

Also, down in the deep ruts of the frozen road.there stood the poor relation of all broken down hacks, drawn by a sorrowful horse and driven by a good old plan tation darkey. "flow far is it to the post office, ncle?" 'Bout er mile, ah inissfe." "Can you take me but ah'se got er passenger and he opened the door some' what doubtfully. Within, spread all over the back seat, sat a smug and smart young i Kansan. evidently returning from a Toyage into the world. His luggage monopolized the seat facing And the situation, to judge from his quiescence, suggested nothing to his mind.

I waited, hopefully, and at iast was rewarded by his lifting one grip over from the front seat and transferring it to the seat beside him, so that, by good management, I was able to find a perch on which to ride backward, contemplating his charms, all the way to the post oflicc. men-tion this because, in my experience, it is characteristic of Kansas and of no other locality. that I've visited. That evening, after another long day, landlady, a very buxom, well-to-, do, thrifty-looking woman, or a friend of hers; invited me in to the parlor lire.
