But now all haa changed. Wheat alone is responsi-ble for the wonderful prosperity of the SunflowerState, and has made millionaires of wheat growerswith almost lightning rapidity.

Tho prosperity of the Kansas wheat grower Isunique in the annals of the farmer. Conqueringthe soil has been a task of years, ruining even ageneration while the siege- lasted. But the victory

has been a notable one. worthy of th* son of toilwho braved the fate of his father and his grand-father to plough deep and hope for the best.

Kansas has for the last two years raised eachseason more than four times the amount of wheatproduced on the same acreage twenty years ago

and double that of ten years past. Last year Kan-sas farmers raised J50.0C0.C«» worth r>f wheat, ornearly 100,000.000 bushels. Th* present season, in-

stead of 6.009.000 acres of K.in=as land being d- Stedto wheat raising, an additional million Hni wasadded. It has been an adage that a farmer wasslow to win riches, wearing his lifeaway hi gettinga few hundred dollars, which might be acquired inalmost any other pursuit m a few months, perhapsa f w hours: but the case in Kansas has he. n

otherwise.Kansas was ravaged by a terrible drouth in the

latter eighties, but before that tlm<- prosperity hadnever perched itself over th«» waste of short grasscountry. Many farmers were starved out. others:

died from sickness or a broken heart, and th- lawwho managed to live through those awful tlm> s ds»pended upon charity entirely. If the hot winds

left anything of the crop the chinch bug>- andgrasshoppers spared, the farmers who planted seedwheat every fall gathered only weeds for their

I efforts. Tea years ago a cloud came up from theiSouth, over Western Kansas. And It rain.d.

One of the largest wheat growers in KansaJohn T. Stewart, came to the State five years mI Iwithout \u25a0 dollar. He settled in Sumner Countborrowed J.'*' of a friend j»nd rented a quarter si*tlon of Inn.l for one-thinl of the crop. The fjiilowing year he had reaped enough from the rental

MEDALS FOR FAITHFUL SERVICE.

HOLT OILS AND THEIR USE AT CORONA-

TIONS AND OTHER SERVICES

OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.

Although the phrase "Anointed of the I/jrd1'

Iscommonly used to desig*nt*> all t!i>» monarchs of

ttie Old World, and \<--t strictly speaking there arein thefre. modsrsi mssss only three temporal sover-'\u25a0isns who can be tin:s »i«-siriii^'i. namely, therulers r,f Hungary, Of Russia and of Great Britain.who represent three of the great Christian de-nominations—the Orthodox, the Roman CatholicvrH the Anglican rhurrties the occupants of theother thrones of Kurope dispense with the jb<» ofthe holy oils. Some. Indeed, like the. GermanKai«^r. the Kings of Spain. Italy. Wiirtemburgr.Portugal and R»lplum as well as the Queen Reg-jiant of Holland, co \u25a0 *tcp further, and do notr-\-r-n nnsldar it neeawary to have themselves.iown»-d, regarding th<* ceremony not only as\u25a0rebate but likewise, as anachronistic.

While admitting that there Is a. certain amountof truth In this .- 1K<im» i:t. it must [if confessedthat if tbe time honored ph<i httotorlc ceremony ofcoronation is t<j be retained, it in a pity to de-prlve it of one of its most Impressive, picturesqueand solemn features— the feature. Indeed, that isth» most v^rtentous uitli meaning and that is ofmost sneient origin, namely, the anointing of thesovereign.

Jus=t at the present moment a bitter controversyIs raging In England with regard to the anointingof King Edward and Queen Alexandra on th* occa-unii of their coronation next June. There ar*.many, especially tbos* belonging to the Methodist,Baptist und rtmilar dissenting denominations, aswell as th<* i.ow Church and evargeUcal element oftlm Established Church of Knglar.d. who insist thatthe anointing of the Kin* and Queen should bt,'•mittcd altogether on the ground that th*. twenty-Rfth of th^ •Thirty-nltip Articles" that constltut«the charter and canon law of the Anglican Churchezpraasly d*ni*B ih«> claim of the Roman Catholicnnd rthoojox churches to the effect that the holyoils ire to \"-- counted among the sacratn*nts. de-nouncing the doctrine as having "grown partly ofthe corrupt following of the Apostles."

Then, again, there are others who ar* contentthat the King and Queen shall be anoint*d withoil. but who deprecate th* i;j*of the chrism Inconnection with the affair. The chrism has notbeesj employed for the anointing of th*. Britishsovareigns siuc«« the coronation of Queen Klizab*th."ho, as <-v*r- one knows, was a most uncompro-ummg foe of The Roman Catholic Church. Hereuccenor. King James, and all thp other kings andqueens who followed him on the throne of GreatHrltaln. were content to be anointed with oilalone.But th» Hiph Church party— that Is to say. ih»Ritualist branch of the church of Kngland— urges

th^ revival <,f the use of the chrism, and bothKdward VII. an ihis consort are reported to b*<iispospd to acced< to these views.

Th* chrism is a compound of oil and balsam,f r-m:ng a sweet ointment. Th- balsam Ip s kindof pfrfum*d retin, produced by a tree which growsIn Palestine and Arabia, and was exclusively em-ployed until the sixteenth century, when PopesPaul 111 and Plus IVpermitted the use of a betterform of balm, brought by the Spaniards from theN<w Vt'orl.l.

Th* anointing of monarchs in token of their sov-ereignty antedates the <'hristian era by many hun-orrds of year*. According to the Old Testament'Im kincs nr Is-r^.l ai.'d of Judea w*r*enthronedby means of anointment with consecrated oil. andih<-expression "Anointed of the Tx>rd" is even use.'lby the Bible In connection with pagan rulers, as«-yru«, th« ruler of Persia, is described In thatfashion in the Scriptures. The earliest authenticinstances of unction as a. feature of Christian

\u25a0 oronations appears In the annals of. Spain, and isdescribed in "The Acts of the Sixth Council ofToledo," held in the seventh century. The oldSaxon kings were all anointed, and In the cbron-Ips of Robert of Gloucester, Alfred the Great Isdescribed as ha\ing been "oiled to be king." Peplneras the fir^r king of France to be anointed kingb} Pope Stephen 111. while Pope Leo 111 anointed> "harlemagne as emperor in St. Perer'?. on Novem-ber 24, KM, "from the hcau ro the feel, according tothe custom -tir.>scribed by the Jewish law." uslugthe words ''With this lioly oil i consecrate the<;*mperor of the Romans In the name of the Father.the Son and th.' Holy Ghost."

This phrase indicates that the anointing of nion-«r<-hs is performed with the object of consecratingthem as rulers, and symbolizes the Idea -of thedivine right of king?, and the doctrine so frequentlyvolced by the present Kaiper that sovereigns arelesponsible for their conduct to no one but to theAlmighty, from Whom alone they hold their au-thority.

King Edward, more fortunate than King RichardI. who was stripped to his shirt and drawers toreceive the anotutmei t. wili wear a sort of shirt orcrimson sarsenet, with holes, where the anointingoil can be applied to his arms and breast. Thehead, breast and arms a.re anointed in turn, denot-ing glory, Kanctity and strength, and it is worthyof note that wbeiwaa. in the case of tbe Czar, the \u25a0

anointment follows the coronation. in England. InHungary. aril formerly In France, the "oiling"ofth* monarch pr< «dcs t'd.- coronation.

For the anointment of King Edward the Arch-bishop of i'anterbury. Primate of All Kngland. willuse the so rolled "ampulla," which with the goldent-ooor. constitiiief! the most ancient portion of theBritish regalia, It is stated that •when St. Thoma?-a-Bf-oket. the martyred Archbishop of Canterbury.«a« m banishment at Lyons, and was praying onenight in a rhurrh, the \irginappeared to him witha co)d oove m, la small vial of chrism, which she,rlclivered to him, assuring him of the happiest• fleets o:i thow kings who should be anointed withIt, nnd \u25a0•ommH'ide) him to deliver It to a monk ofPolcti*rs. who would conceal it in a large stonein th* thurch of St. Gregory. In this place the"ampulla" and an account of the vision, in thehandwriting of St. Thomas, w*r* prps*rved untilthe *ign of King Edward 111. when they were dis-«-ov*>reii in consequence of a dream by a holy man,v.ho rought the sacred vessel to the Duke of I.an-mstf-r. wh<> deUvered it to the Black Prince, whotent it to the Tower of London for safekeeping.Hrre it was kept jnt:i the coronation of KingHenry IV in UP), when the "ampulla" and thespoon were used for tho first time. Th* "ampulla "

1!= In thf> form of a dove with expanded wings.Handing on a pe-Jestal. The head of tke dove un-

'rews fo that the consecrated unguent can h*ro'ired Into It. and It is poured out through anorifice In the beak into the. equally ancient and'•ictremely thin gold spoon, which bears traces ofIwviiigbeen enamelled.

The anointing of Kins Kdward will immediatelyfollow the coronation oath, and while it is inprogress the choir will sing th* anthem, "Zakccthe Priest f nd Nathan the Proph»t. Anointed Sol-\u25a0 njon King, and AH the People Rejoiced." TheKing \u25a0will be disrobed of his crimson robes by thef-ord Great Chamber'.ain. and these, along with the

\u25a0 as of 6tate which his majesty will remove from1 is head, will be carried into St. Ed ward' i> ChapelThe Monarch, having taken his seat on the thou-fand-year-old throne of Edward the. Confessor be-fore the altar, four dukes, all Knights of the Gar-ter. summoned by *;arter-King-at-Arms. will holdover th* King's head a rich pall of cloth of goldand then the Archbishop of Canterbury, pouringsome of the consecrated oil into th* spoon fromthe "ampulla" held by the Dean of Westminsterwill first anoint th* palms of the King's hands inthe form of a cross, *x<*iaiming "Be these handsanointed with the holy oil." and will uwe the nam*words Inanointing subsequently the. breast, thirdly.

>>oth shoulders, and fourthly, the, elbows. lastly hewillanoint the crown of the King's head, saying:

'Be this head anointed with holy oil as kings andprophets were anointed. And as Solomon wasanointed king hy Zadoc the Priest and Nathanthe Prophet, so be you anointed blessed and con-secrated king over this people, whom the, Ix^rd yourGod hath given you to govern in th« name of" th*Kether. the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen."

The dean will then lay the, "ampulla" and spoonupon the altar, and the King kneeling:, the arch-bishop standing on the north side of th« altar willpronounce the, benediction. The Kinr will th*m(*rise and resume his place on the throne, and the'Dean of Westminster, having first dried all th*.rlaces anointed, except tbe head and the hands,with cctton wool, w-ifl close with the ribbons at-tached to th* places open for the anointing in th-Kln^s crimson sarsenet, shirt or coat. And thenthe Archbishop will place coif of lawn on theKing's head, and linen gloves on his hands for afew moments in order to remove the holy oil. TheQueen •will only be anointed on the forehead, asconsort, although the late Queen Victoria, asQueen Regnant, -was anointed on shoulders, armsand breast a« well. it is only subsequent tothis anointment that the actual coronation willtake place.

SPEAKER ON CHINESE QUESTION EX-

TRICATED HIMSELF FROM PM<;HT

-SENATOR JONES AND

THE GAMBLER.

Inearlier days on the Pacific Slope, before Chineseexclusion became an accomplished fact, but whilethe agitation to that end was «it its height, aspeaker of note was imported from the Kast to addthe weight of his voice, to tn< anti-Chinese party.

When the. Eastern tiihii -lrrived in San Crandscahe was found to be densely ignorant of the causein behalf of which be had come to plead, but thatdefect the committee tried hard to remedy, and onthe evening set for tbe first mass meeting supposedit had

'succeeded in accomplishing. The man

from the Atlantic seaboard when his turn camearose on the platform, and to the horror of hII

present announced the doctrine of the .<j'.,.ti!ty ofman. "All men." he declared, "are born free a.n<lequal, and in tills great and glorious republic ithas been decreed that they shall be treated as such.That tbe equality of men should De. rauapii us tofight a devastating war, and that Rrvai and com-prehensive constitution of our.i has now beenamended so that 'tha right of citizens to vote shallnot be denied or abridged by the United States, orby any State on account of race, color or previouscondition of servitude.' That gentleman." he con-tinued, warming to his subject, "is to-day a. sacredpart of the sacred constitution, and It appliesequally to any and to all men, be their cilor whatit may—be they white, be they red or be theyyellow. Why. gentlemen" But Just here an in-terruption occurred. For some time the agitatedcommittee had tried but fulled to catch the orator'seye. Then one of its number had hastily pen. -tileda note, and this it was that had interrupted theflow of eloquence. The Kastern man glanced at theslip and read, "What In hell are you about Wewant to keep the pigtails out. not let them in."

There was an ominous pause; an expectant au-dience waited, an agonized committee sat on pinsand needles, while a distinguished orator soughtways and means to extricate himself and hl«sponsors from a difficult position. Once, twice andagain did he seek aid from a. glass of water andlinallyin its friendly crystal depths found what h*sought. Advancing with hand outstretched hotook up the interrupted speech. "This, gentlemen."he. went on. without the quiver of an eyelid; "thisof which Ihave juet spoken Is the pernicious teach-ings of our opponents, which they vainly hope todelude you into believing is the course we advocateThey rest upon the Fifteenth Amendment of thei-onttltutlon on the claim that the Chinese should beadmitted. They" And so he swung on to aperoration that did much to place the coping on thewall of Chinese exclusion.

When John P. Jones, now Senator from Nevada,first visited California, he travelled by th* Isth-mian route. It was a mixed company aT>oard ship,and among them the gambling fraternity was wellrepresented. One of this ilk showed to the future.Senator a cunningly devised roulette wheel. Byelmply raising the knee the ball could be made todrop into the, red or the black hole at will. He thenproposed that they "go cahoots" and work theirfellow passengers. This Mr. Jones declined to do,but the lesson he reniemb< red. Some months later,being In a. mining camp, be strolled into a gamblingsaloon. A roulette game was in full swing, and h.»Idly watched It for a time. Finally he becameconscious that when the majority of the bets wer«on red the black came up and vice versa. Thenhe watched the man who was rolling the. ball;at regular Intervals his knee was raised, and whenIt did the ball invariably fHI into a black hol».With these calculations to go on. the Senator laidhis betf«. As he was not absolutely certain, hemade them tentatively small, but he won and wouagain, until, despite th« meagre nature of hi?stakes, he was ahead JI.V). At this* juncture hecaught the fye of the croupier and therein gleamedthe light of knowledge. In the slang of to-daythe croupier was "on," but Mr. Jones, feeling hisposition Impregnable, never made a flutter. Hehad counted without his banker, however, for thatworthy, suddenly pointing to him with his f..ifinger, broke into denunciatory speech. "Say youthere!" he called out, "I'vebeen watching you andnave caught on to your little game. You can'twork it here. Now you pull our. do you hear?"Mr. Jones was for gtandlng his graund and at-tempting explanation of the situation. A glanceat the. fringe of hostile eyes surrounding howeversnowed him the futilityof protest. He gathered uphis rio.riO. of which the manlihood of the gamblerhad not despoiled him. At the door he turned, andevery eye in the room was on him, and everyeye save that of the gambler was full of contemptThen the almost superhuman nerve of the proceed-ing came home, and Mr. Jones raised his hat inrecognition of the genius that could so turndefeat into victory. Not a muscle of the gambler'<

I face changed, but In acknowledgment of the up-raised hat hla eyelid momentarily flickered.

In the Northwest in the seventies horse andcattle thieves as a general rule worked their ownwills, and those wills were not sweet ones. Theranchers were scattered and usually too weak tocope with or to prevent the depredations of thethieves. The frontier soldiers were supposed toguard them equally from murderous redskin andthieving white, but the soldiers, although Willingto do their share, were greatly handicapped bythe laws, which made It necessary to prove guiltbefore taking action. Suspicion alone could notsuperinduce punishment; it was necessary to provean overt act. As most of the acts were done farfrom the range of human eyes, in the case oflifted cattle and stolen horses, and none left totell the tale In ca_-e of murder, actual proof of gliiltwas extremely difficult to obtain. A retired armyofficer, speaking of the Northwest of that time,said: "It was a curious state of affairs that con-fronted us In a border post that T commandedthere.
