Orr the farm is the Whitewater Falls, a beautiful piece of scenery, surrounded by several acres of fine timber, while the stream abounds with bass, crappie and cat fish, making it an ideal picnic grounds and camping: place, that Is taken advantage -of every summer by hundreds of people from this city and other places.

J. W. Robison, who was elected to the Legislature in this county several years ago, and who is now Railroad Commissioner, came to this county from Tazewell county, .111., in 1879, and bought part of the present farm. They have purchased more land from time to time until they now have one of the largest and best farms In Kansas. The elder Robison also served two terms in the state Senate in Illinois.

Neither of the younger Robisons ever held office, but are well known and popular throughout the county. ten 9m4kMM: life imsmMii kmWA As an express train was going through a station one of the passengers leaned too far out of the window, overbalanced, and fell out. He fortunately landed on a sand heap, so that he did himself' no great injury, but, with torn clothes and not a few bruises, said to a porter, who was standing by, "What shall I do?" "You're all right, mister," said the porter. "Your ticket allows you to break your journey." Flelgende Blatter. Friend (In the studio) You will never sell that enormous picture.

Artist That doesn't matter. I have painted it so that I can cut it up into four pictures, and I can easily get rid of those. Meggendorfer Blatter. T.f Verm'in COLLI CR'S WT.EKLYi CopyrigUt 1903, i. I'.

Ccliicf boa. JTHE PARTING WALL) It is worth while for the art student to, compare the two sides of the above picture; on the rlffht Is a wealthy girl, sitting in a drawing-room, of which every detail tells its tale of luxury. There is a grand piano, a richly carved mantelpiece, family portraits, flowers, a bronze statuette, a chlppendale chair and a dainty table with iKJoks and flowers. On the left isa hall bedroom, less than six feet wide, with the cheapest kind of a bureau and a common chair as lis sol furniture. The young man must be ptxir to occupy such a room, but he must be accustomed to good society, for he has the face of a gentleman and is dressed in the conventional evening costume.

The big books upon the bureau suggest that may be a law student, or a struggling doctor, and all that separates them Is IS inches of brick and mortar. Hut the picture, as do most of the best Gibson pictures, also represents a problem. Do the young people know each other? Why are they sitting in attitudesof dejection? So near to each other and yet go far away. Is the wall mere brick and mortar or is it symbolic? If so, of what? One person suggests the young people are lovers, have been out to a theater or party, quarreled, and now nltting consumed by regrets. Another says she is waiting for him to call, anj he is worrying because hie poverty does not permit him to ask her to be his wife.

We are inclined to take the view that they do not know each other, are even Ignorant of each other's existence, though living in adjoining houses, and that he In his lonely boarding house ballroom is dreaming and longing to have some such girl as she to call upon, while she. in her splendor, is also lonely and sitting dreaming of the manly young fellow she would like to come- a-wooing, while, all the time, did they but know It, their ideals are less than two feet away hidden only by parting walls, through which a sort of telepathic current pt-rhaps, induces their mutual dreams. The above picture is the fifteenth of the Sunday Capital's series of Gibson pictures and is another of those for whlrh Collier's Weekly paid the artist $1,000.00 each. The demand for the Capital has increased with each Sunday since 'we started this series, and it has been a hard matter for his to gage our orders for pictures to that we will not have too many and still have 'enough to supply the demands. NecessarUy every edition Is limited by the supply of pictures, and if you have not placed your order for "The Parting Wall," It would be wise for you to see your newsboy at once of call tlther phone 152.

tVHITEWATEU FALLS IN THE WHITEWATER VALLEY IX BUTLER COUNTY. Butler county not only ranks first in the number of cattle in the state, first In animals sold for slaughter, first in garden, orchards, millet and rough feed, Taken as a whole, the crops on this farm are the best this year they have been for many years."

From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an Ignoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing home to the public a parallel fact; that the stomach is the most vulnerable organ out of the prize ring as well as in it We protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs, but the stomach we are utterly indiiler-ent to, until disease finds the solar plexus and knocks. us out.

Make your stomach sound and strong by. the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and you protect yourself in your most vulnerable spot. "Golden Medical Discovery cures "weak stomach," indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, "thin and Impure blood and other diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition.

Casino has never entered a show ring but what he walkout with a blue ribbon. He was fi-si prize winner in France In 1901. Several Percherons of their own breeding have been great prize winners, and at their sale in Wichita the first of this year, a coming 2-rear-old stallion of teir own breeding sold at auction for JL500, Uie highest priced1 young Percheron ever sold in the West. They hold a sale of 4u 50 pure bred Percherons at Wichita each year and this year was the most successful they ever held, tne average price per head being the highest of any Percheron sale ever held in this countiy. Their next sale is in February, On this farm can be seen, running on alfalfa, 125 head of pure bred Pereherjns and over 100 head of grades.

The fTtit and pure bred mares do the work on thte farm and many" of the fine teams s-en on the delivers' wagons in Denver and Kansas City come from this famous farm. W.

These are pastured on prairie grass sid alfalfa in the summer and Are not sold off the grass, are fed on rough feed, alfalfa, and. corn in winter.

They have irom 00 to 'u0 hogs on J. W. Robison lives in a fine, modern residence El Dorado, while his sons have elegant residence, with mouern conveniences, on the farm. There are also twelve tenant houses, and bams, granaries and other buildings by the hundreds. When plowing they runrjom 23 to 30 three-horse teams, and it jn very common thing to see 40 cultivators running during the summer.

The" corn is cut with corn binders. James C. Robison has charge of the Percheron horse department and has made their herd famous all over ihe world by the class of horses be imports and breeds and the blue ribbons he has won in the show ring. Their horses have not only been prize winners at county fairs but have won hundreds "of blue ribbors at the.state fairs in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, at the American Royal at Kansas City, but their herd won 23 prizes at the world's fair at St. Louis for individuals, pairs and herd and all wtre blue ribbons but three.

He was shabby, red nosed and perfumed with beer, but he stood most remarkable straight. His story of having lost his situation through ill health might have come from the lips of George Washington. When, with conscious brutality, I asked whether the real cause of his deprivation was not drink, "Ah. sir, he responded, "you're judging Jay my nose. Now, I put it to you, sir, have you not known plenty of teetotallers with noses redder than mine? It wa too true; I had.

Among all the shoppers and more leisurely prome-naders that are our streets the appearance of one of the tawny charmers, with vigorous stride and hair, is now so rare as ta cause general turnir.g of heads to see and admtre.

One may safely guss that the omnipresent auto has helped the bire-faced and bare-armed beauty out of the mode. The auto veil is now almost universal. Many who can't have the auto riding can yet have the veil, which has fascinations ss well as uses; and, though veils can't produce autos. they can strongly suggest them.
