Mexico and Louisiana.

" thS
Mexico and Louisiana are about
the same size. The former is active
and enterprising, the latter slow
and sluggish. The first is always
originating schemes to push for
ward its material interests, the Sec
ond is neglectful of opportunities
and Indifferent to its future. Mexi-
co wants a male college, more room
at Hardin College, the Trotting and
Pacing Horse Breeders A
the Cumberland Presbyterian Col
lege, the Masonic Home and more
railroad facilities; Louisiana wants
nothing but to be let alone, with
some one to mix her drinks and
longer nights in which to slumber.
Without factories and away from
the advantages furnished by a
mighty river flowing by her very
doors. Mexico is growing-striding
to the front like some young and
vigorous athlete.

to her sewing, We have some
things laid away in that drawer that
the gold of kings could not buy and
yet they are relics that grieve us
until our hearts are sore. | haven't
dared look at them for a year but |
remember each article. There are
two worn shoes, a little chip hat
with the bfim gone, some stock
ings, pantaloons, a coat. two or
three spools, bits of crockery, a
whip and several toys. Wife, poor
thing, goes to that drawer every
day of her life, and prays over it,
and let her tears fall upon the
precious articles, but | dare not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack,
but not often. 1t has been a long
time, but somehow we can't get
over growing. Some times when
we sit alone of an evening, | writ
ing and she sewing, a child will
call out in the streets as our boy
used to, and We will both start up
with beating hearts and a wild
hope, only to find the darkness
more of a burden than ever. 1t is
still and quiet, now. | look up at
the window where his blue eyes
used to sparkle at my coming, but
he is not there. l listen for his
~pattering feet, his merry shout, his
ringing laugh, but there is no
sound. There is no one to search
my pockets, and tease me for pres
ents, and / never find the chairs

ropes tied to the door knobs.

knife; to ride on my shoulders; to
lose my axe; to follow me to the
gate when l go, and be there tc

night" from the little bed now
empty. And wife, she missed him
still more. There are no little feet
to wash, no prayers to say, no voice

she would give her life, almost, te

tempt to rob the Wabash Western
train a short distance out of Kansas
City night before last, the main
particulars of which were given in
yesterdays LEDGER, was highly
sensational, though a failure.
When the train reached Missouri
City at $50 Wednesday night, a
few minutes late, a band of men,
heavily armed, stood on the little
depot platform. The conductor
was informed that they were under
command of an official ofthe eoun-
ty who had received word that an
attempt would be made to rob the
st. Louis express at a lonely spot a
little less than two miles east OF
Missouri City. One of the officers
got in the cab of the engine with
the@engineer and fireman, and the
others distributed themselves
through the train.
None of the passengers ON the
train were notified of the danger.
but as the train pulled out of Mis-.
souri, City the lights in the cars
were lowered, and the train mer
took their places at the doors o.
the coaches with revolvers drawn
They couldn't see anyone on the
platforms of the coaches without
themselves being seen. The ex.
press messenger barricaded the dool
of his a and the baggageman shu'
himself carefully in.
As the point of attack was nearet
a red light was seen cleaning
ahead, The engineer obeyed thu
danger signal, for it might have
been in 'front.' of a break in thu
track or a barricade which would
have thrown the engine from thu
track. Asthe train slowed up tn,
\ engineer saw three masked me
standing on the track.
"Get off there" said the leade
of the three men to the engineer.
"What do you want?" asked En-
gineer Morsey.
"Never you mind" said tn
masked bandit. "You get off Their
now"
"Morsey climbed down out o
the cab. Just as he reached tn
ground the officer in the cab point
ed his shotgun out of the window
and fred. Whether he hit tn,
leader of the band of robbers or no
he could not afterward tell, blu
he and the engineer were of tn,

idea of the suffering among the
poorer classes, even in Mexico.
1t was only yesterday heard of
two white families in East Mexico,
dependent on the charity COM
mittee, that are entirely without
bed-coveFings. One of the ladies
of the committee ventured to ask
why n of the families consumed
so much fuel. The reply was that
they had to sit up and keep a fire
these cold nights to keep from
freezing, getting their sleep during
the day. The Lord only knows
how the other family keeps body
and soul together. But these are
only two instances out of a score

think of moving to hades as Mis-

loading his wagon with straw from
the streets around the Court Yard.
1t had been dropped little by little
from farm wagons until, altogether,
a couple of wagon loads could be
