ARE YOU GOING
To Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Ne
braska, Oregon, California,

Or any point in the West or North
west? If so you will of course wish
to be informed as to the cheapest,
shortest and most pleasant route.
You will wish to purchase your tick
ct via the route that will subject you
to no delays, and by which through
trains are run. Before you start you
should provide yourself with a map
of the Gulf Route, (Kansas City,
Springfield d Memphis r. R.) the
only route from the South to the
West. This line runs its entire trains,
with Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars,
free Reclining Chair Cars and Elegant
Day Coaches from Memphis to Kan
saS City, saving many hours time
over any other route.
For emigrants from the South to
Oregon, Washington or the far West,
this route is especially desirable, as
holders of emigrant tickets are by
this route carried in first-class cars on
first-class trains. Close connections
are made at Union Depot, Kansas
City, with overland routes, CARRYING
free emigrant sleeping cars through
to Portland, Oregon. Thus, passen-
gers by this route have but one
change of cars, Memphis to Portland,
Oregon. When you go West you
will save time and money by pur-
chasing your ticket via Memphis and
the Gulf Route. Send for large
map of this short route. Send for q
copy of the "Missouri and Kansas

paper, giving full and reliable infOr-

How he Got Fat.

"Ah, its glorious country" said
the young editor ofan Arizona paper.
"Since I've left college and came out
here I've gained twenty-eight
pounds"
"But," said his classmate who was
visiting him. "you look and are thun-
dering sight thinner than you were
when you graduated"
"Well, maybe / am" replied the
journalist, "but I've got twenty-eight
pounds of buckshot and slugs in my
person, just the same. If something
fatal doesn't happen, I'll weigh a ton
before the Fourth of July"

A Well of Vinegar.

A dispatch from Vincennes, Ind,
says: "The mysterious vinegar well
which was dug on the farm of S. R.
Williams, just out side this city, has
been accounted for, after much dis
cussion by chemists and others.
Some twenty years ago the farm was
owned by f. M. Fay, who had an ex-
tensive orchard. The apple crop
was large, and he had several hun
dred barrels of cider, to be converted
into vinegar. While the fluid was
fermenting, about one hundred bar
rels burst and their contents was lost.
The cider sank into the ground I'M
til it reached an impervious strata of
clay, where it lay until the well was
dug on the same spot" .|

Whatit Takes to Feed Locomotive
Scribner's Magazine for August.

Scribner's Magazine for August.
1t will perhaps interest some read
ers to know how much fuel locomo-
tive burns. This of course depends
upon the quality of fuel, work done,
speed, and character of the road. On
freight trains anaverage consumption
may be taken at about to Il pounds
of coal consumed per car per mile.
With passenger trains, the cars of
which are heavier and the speed high
err, the coal consumption is greater.
a freight train of 30 cars, at a speed
of thirty miles per hour, would there
fore burn from 900 to 1850 pounds of
coal per hour.

Of the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the fact that every purchaser re-
ceives fair equivalent for his mon
ey. The familiar headline 400 Dos

A Good Appetite

Is essential to good health; but at
this season it is often lost, owing to
the poverty or impurity of the blood,

and the weakening effect of the

an appetite, toning the digestion, and
giving strength to the whole system.
Now is the time to take it. Be sure

on their feet a great deal, are often
troubled with chafed, sore and bis

able their shoes may fit. A powder
is used in the German army for sift-
ing into the shoes and stockings of
the foot soldiers, called "Fusstreupul-
YER" and consists of three parts sal
icylic acid, ten parts of starch and 81
parts pulverized soapstone. 1t keeps
the feet dry, prevents chatting and
rapidly heals sore spots. Finely pull
verified soapstone alone is very good.

TO WILL CARLETON, ESQ.

The reason why can't explain, and yet II
seemed to me
That ! bad known you when read your
"District Number Three"
Perhaps 1T was that in those lines you
named your classmates DER,
And made me pause at memory's urn and
taste her golden store;
For who has not within that urn placed
treasures rich and rare?
And words of others make us pause and
fondly linger there.
l, too, within the village school my girl
hood days have spent,
And memory has around those days a
radiant halo lent.
Twas of the poets there we read can not
say how well
And yet to me within those walls there
seemed magic spell;
The poets that I loved so then are still by
me held dear,
They came in smiles like sunny dreams,
and now-'tis with tear.
For they recall those happy days, that
loving little band,
So widely scattered far and near, and some
without our land.
The brightest pictures there we drew, for
some, yes, even all
We knew that some would duty heed, and
some ambitions call.
Each one has i'm the battle fought, how
fierce has been the strife
And yet that village school Is but a minia-
ture Of life;
The ones we placed first in the ranks, alas
they have proved last
The pictures blurred, their names are lost
into oblivion passed.
That blue.eyed boy loved so we'll, OF him
what can 1 sing?
With laurels rich crowned his brow;'twas
fame to him I'd bring;
With reverence now I'll drop the vaIl--my
idol was but dust
For who can paint a woman's love-a
womans simple trust2

English literature has come to that pass
if "A young authoress seek readers she
must shock somebody, and the loosest in

ables?' No, but more people are reading
it than are reading Hugo. Why2 Be-
cause the people are bling it. The
preachers are of the opinion that they are
the custodian of the faith. Who so at
tacks it must hear from them. Hence the
attempt of Mrs. Hum mphreys Ward to
draw their fire and the success of her
stratagem.
A preacher seems to be the last man to
learn, and the first to forget that the
Christian religion is an anvil which has
worn out many hammers. The greatest
civilization is the product of that religion
The other religions may be denounced in
their works. Pekin, Canton and Con.
stantinople offer the only practicable sub
stitutes for the philosophy and spiritual
ity of the Nazarene. Nobody leaves

China or Ethiopia.
