Issued by the Kansas immigration and information association . e stunted birches Hugged the shallow water-line ;And the deepening rivers twinePast the factory and slopes and schools and churches. Her sun of life is shining in at the western windows, and the shadows lengthen; but as she folds her no longer busy hands, and looks off to-where the sunflowers wave their thoughtless frondage in the soft south-wind which stirs them as lazily as a lover would touch his sweetheartscheek, her face is like a benediction in its calm expression of high resolve and resignation.

Her granddaughter pauses beside her, and you catch in the younger, fresher face the key to thatfuture.
