man who had caught part of a conservation, "but
did understand you to say that Spillers is the
biggest liar in the United States"
Eyes"
"And where do understand you to say that this
one Spillers lives?"
"St. Louis"
"Ah, but pardon me If make bold as to say
that ST. Louis cannot lay claim to great dis
tinctiOn. The biggest liar in the country must
necessarily live in Chicago. St. Louis doubtless
possesses a number of ordinary liars, but cannot
concede to her pre-eminence in the matter. The
greatest of everything in this country naturally
belongs to Chicago 1t stands to reason, sir. Why,
city that can boast of Auditorium surely needs
not take second place in small matter to the
residence of the greatest liar"

AVE NGED.

Two men in East Tennessee, Captain Black and
Colonel Gage were on their way to fight duel
when they were overtaken by fellow who told
them that John Black, the captains son, and Eva
Gage, daughter of the colonel, had just been
ried.
Colonel" said Black "this news ought to settle
our little difficulty"
"Yes, | reckon il ought"
They accordingly went into a still house. Later
in the day some one, in speaking to Black, said
Captain, thought that you were mad enough
with Gage to kill him."
$50 was, but my revenge is sweeter. That boy
of mine is the accountest human ever saw"
The colonel, in speaking to the same man, said
"Pm glad didn't kill Black, for I've got him in
fouler way. If that gal o. mine don't lead his
son lively life, don't want cent She's jest
simply pizen."

MUST BE SERIOUS.

Judge Roper, of Bowling Green, KY, had Just
entered his office the other day. and had just begun
the investigation of important case, when a man
named Patterson rushed into the room and
exclaimed
"Ah, l have caught you, have II"
"Yes, l reckon you have" the judge answered.
"And sir" howled Patterson, shaking his fist in
the judges face, al want to tell you that you an
Internal thief and an infamous liar
A serious expression settled on the Judges face.
Patterson" said he, "do you mean what you
say?"
al do" Patterson shouted.
"Then it is no joker"
NO." Patterson Numbered.
Gall right, then," said the judge. al am glad
that you respect one of my peculiarities l could
never bear joking In this life, Patterson, we
should all be serious. Sit down. Bottle on the
mantle piece. Pipe and tobacco in the window"

LETTER OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

IF you do not want my literary work, writes q
young man who lives in indianapolis, evil you
please direct me to some one who does want IL. l
know that editors are making great Zeal of sport
of literary aspirants, but this does not deter me
from attempting TO exercise INV God given faculty.
know that am fitted TO perform literary work.
Ny aim is high. No low round on the ladder shall
content me. l have read several of Macaulay s
essays, and hatter myself that have caught the
exquisite flavor of his style. This think ought
to go far toward the achievement of success, for
Macaulay, understand stood high. l have also
read Milton, and have caught his style l think II
is good idea to have several styles for, becoming
tired of one we can turn to the other. expect to
devote myself largely to polemic writing but
poetry shall also claim much of my time Poetry
think is great vehicle for the expression of our
finer thoughts. The poem which enclose is worth
one dollar. This price, l am persuaded, is not
exorbtant. In fact, believe ii Is somewhat under
the market price Please answer this letter. II
might be good idea to print it. Who knows but
that it might lend encouragement TO some strug-
CLING and aspiring human being"
We take pleasure in printing the letter. That II
may encourage some "aspiring human being" Is
not improbable. 1t is much easier TO encourage an
aspiring human being than ii is to initiate an ami
NAL with hope. Encouraging articles generally
written for human beings.
There is not, at present, very vigorous demand
for experimental literary work. The market is
quiet Prime, good ordinary and fair to middling
selling slowly, with no likelihood of "corner"
1t is we'll that you have caught Macaulay's style.
If taken of and oiled occasionally it may be of
great advantage to you. You have also done well
in paying to Milton q similar compliment. Two
styles are of great advantage Writers who have
one style only often placed at a serious disad-
vantage. Nothing is more refreshing than to trip
from one style to another

can congratulate the people of this community
upon the fact that the eagle of victory has perched
upon the banner of prohibition. The liquor traffic
was great curse to our people, especially when
the saloon keepers decided to withdraw their
advertisements from our paper There is one
saloon, however, where it is pleasure to drink.
This Is the magnificent emporium run by Colonel
John Gobbleton, who did such excellent work
an exhorter in the revival held at Gum Springs
last fall This emporium is situated about two
miles from town, and is beyond the reach of the
law. See advertisement.

Mr. Independent; us roads instead Of
politics. Our poor men who have only one
horse or one yoke Of oxen, the l'borer who,
with his wife and children is forced to walk
TO his work, to church, to school. to the mill,
wants good roads. If | was rich enough to
keep horses and oxens wagons and carriages
and only travelled the public roads when
prompted by my own sweet will, | might
think S., 600 was enough or might not care,
though lntelligently economical and would
be disposed TO pty fair per cent Of my
invested wealth fer public good. The talk
this fall will be roads more than Harrison
or Cleveland except by the one or two who
hold Office under the latter or hope for it I'M
der the former, at least in the 9Th District.

Railway Passenger Travel.

Gen. Horace Porter's very interest
ing article on Railway Passenger
Travel" in Scribner's for September,
discusses the development of railway
travel in most entertaining sly lie. lie
regards the veStibule train as the high
est point reached in securing the perfec-
ton of comfort and safety to the passen-
ger. Alter detailing the progressive
steps by which the vestibule was reach
ed he says;
This invention, which was patented
in 1897, succeeded not only in supply
ing the means of constructing perfect
" enclosed vestibule of handsome archi
t9rtural appearance between the cars,
but it accomplished what is even still
more important, the Introduction of a
safety appliance more valuable than any
yet devised for the protection to human
life IN case Of collisions. The elastic
diaphragms, which are attached to the
end of the cars. have steel frames, the
faces or bearing surfaces of which are
pressed firmly against each other by
powerful spiral springs, which create a
friction upon the faces of the frame,
hold them firmly in position, prevent
the oscillation of the cars, aud furnish a
buffer extending from the platform to
the roof, which precludes the possibility
of oae platform riding the other, and
producing telescoping in case of collision.
The first of the vestibuled trains went
into service on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in June, 1886, and they are rapid
ly being adopted by railway companies
The vestibulel limited trains contain
several sleeping cars, dining car, and
a car fitted up with smoking saloon, a
library with books, desks, and writing
materials, a bathroom, and barber
|Hhop. With a free circulation of air
throughout the train, the cars opening
into each other, the electric light, the
many other increased comforts and con-
veniences introduced, the steam heating
apparatus, avoiding the necessity Ofusing
fires, the fast speed, and the absence Of
stops at meal stations. this train is the
acme of safe and luxurious travel. An
ordinary passenger travels in as prince
ly style in these cars as any crowned
head in Europe in a royal special train.

Crop Report report Of the DEPART
ment Of Agriculture for September lst, makes
the average conditiun Of corn 94.2, wheat
77.3, oats So, rye 92.s, barley 500, buck
wheat 93.7, potatoes 81 6, and tobacco ST.
The returns show but very slight falling off
from The exceptionally high August report Of
maize, the general average having declined
but one point during the month
The loss is almost entirely in one State
Kansas-where drouth and hot, dry winds
caused decline Of points since last report
This high average Of condition has been ex-
ceeded but once during the past 10 years-iu
lss5-when it stood at 50, and the largest
crop ever grown was harvested Ia the seven
corn surplus Sttes the average Of condition
is g5, against ga at the same date in 1887.
The average condition Of spripg and winter
wheat when harvested was 77.3, against 50
last year and SIS in 1886. In 1885 it was
Y and in 1884 %. The winter wheat States
show a slight Improvement over the last re
port Of condition -July-but there has been
a serious decline in the spring wheat region
Of the Northwest. Chinch-bugs were again a
serious evil in portions Of Wisconsin and Min
nesota, while unreasonable rains at and after
harvest materially lowered condition in these
States and in portions Of Iowa. Frost be-
tween the 10th and 18th Of he molth did
some injury in the Red and Sim river valle' $.
The general average of oats at the time of
harvest was four points lower than at last re-
port. In only one year since 1881 has the
September report made condition less than 80,
/ ss7, when it was 1914. Barley has declined
slightly, while buckwheat shows small i'm
provement
Potatoes have fallen of less than two points
during the month, and condition is generally
high IN all sections Last year there was a
decline of II points during the month, the
September average being 67.3. Tobacco
shows slight improvement, mainly in the
cigar-leaf States.
