The exercise of the gracious virtue of hospitality Is peculiar to no one class or people. All the world over the latchstrlng Is out, and the portal of the hovel opens as wide as that of the palace. N. II. Bishop, in his "Voyage of the Paper Canoe," gives two Ill stances of Southern welcome which go far to prove that cordiality Is a mat ter neither of color nor of social stand ing. One stormy evening Mr. Bishop moored bis boat on the bank of a South Carolina river and went In search of a night's lodging. He bad not gone far when he saw a native feeding a numts-r of hogs, and to him he put his ques tion. The man was ragged, shiftless- looking, and of the six-dm known as "ixior white trash." On hearing of Mr, Hlsliopa need his reply was Immedi ate. "Stranger, my cabin's close at hand. Come home with me. It's a bad night for a man to lay out In. Come with me." He led the way to a log cabin plas tered with mini and moss. There, over a stipr "f hog and hominy, the man. his wife and the traveler talked of the war. "We never could find out whnt nil the rus was ulmut," said tile host, "but when the law made every man who owned fifteen slaves exempt, my blood riz right up, and I says, 'This 'ere thing's getting to lie a rich man's qunr re and a poor man's n-lit.' After that my poor lioy was dragged off, and he waa killed." There was only one room In the enh In, nnd Mr. Bishop slept on a bed made up on the Moor. In the morning he was puzzled how to remunerate the South eruer. At lost he said, as delicately as he could : "Mr. Edge, you have treated me with great kindness, and your wife has been put to some inmnvenlcnce. Y'ou will renlly oblige me If you will accept a lit ue money, tnough it cannot pay for your hospitality." ine mun ran ins hand through his thick hair; then he said, slowly but de- cniiiiiy, ns If be represented the whole generous heart of the South: .-ranger, i nave known a white man to lie mean enough to take i stranger's money for lodging and vie tuals, but I'm not that man!" i.nrer in the voyage Mr. Bishop pt up for the night In the cabin of a -r-orgia uanty.

Though comparatively few people know It, there was a day when Seneca street on the west side was paved w 1th ,buffulo skulls and horns, and many a horse has been snagged by the crooked horns which stuck up through the road In muddy times, says the Wichita cor respondent of the Topeka Capital. For a long time In an early day all trav elers by wagon to the west avoided this street on this account In tbe light of subsequent values this was the most expensive pavement on earth. A pair of buffalo horns and the bead of an animal of that breed will easily bring 14H). Thousands of them were thrown away lu an early day, and It happened that Seneca street waa the dumping ground for them. When tbe first aettlers struck this part of the country farming was vir tually Inipoaalble and mighty little of It was done St the start. One of tbe first things tbe newcomer learned was that he could sell buffalo horns In Ichlt and as the prairies were covered with them be loaded up his wagon with the only crop In sight and drove ln. Ev erybody did It. When Senator Ilenienway, of Indl ana, who had a claim In Harper conn ty In those days, begins to talk about his Kansas exierleuce the first thing he recounts Is that he hauled buffalo bones to Wichita. Nearly all the newcomer believed they could sell skull and horns too, so tliey brought them along with the rest of the bones. But there was no market quotations on skulls and horns, and the city authorities made the newcomers take them out of town on their return trips. Some one started dumping them at Seneca street, then a country road and section line, and everybody followed his example. It Is a lingular thing, but no old set tler seems to remember whnt was given for a load of buffalo bones In those days. About the only man who seemed to put a value on the skull and horns at that date was Father Bliss, an an cient character who lived In a queer little house which stood on the corner of 1st and Main streets. A peculiarity of the house was that It bad a curved roof like a houseboat. Father Bliss had a weakness for collecting the lar ger buffalo heads and piling them on his roof, much to the amusement of the citizens. The buffalo bones were collected here by the ton and shlpiied to New England and made Into buttons aud like arti cles. This trade followed the heavy transactions In hides and robes which wiped out the American bison. It was a commercialism w uh-o i'. cmjiunis, even his bones, for profit, but stupid a commercialism usually la, threw away the heads, which are now the most val uable. Th Tralhfal Womaa.
