The Popular Line

To the east is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & st. Joseph r. RI. The ser
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached a degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The BurlingtOn's cell" is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being Solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar.
rives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
he is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the ELI" takes dining car
ont Of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to be the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting OF through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and St Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger in st. Louis for breakfast. and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington KANSAS City st. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs r. RI is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas CITY and st In.
seph and st. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas CITY.
st. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction yOu travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burlinc.
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense Of money or time.

it is not worth while to develop an indus

WE are gratified to be able to say that
no more decent campaign, SO far as the
spending of money to influence voters is
concerned, was ever held in Trego county.
We are opposed to corruption funds. A
candidate has right to present his claims
and to work for his election and to en-
ploy all honorable methods in so doing,
but the better class Of citizens irrespec-
tive of party should use their influence
against all doubtful methods.

She Kissed the Judge.

Judge Kuhn earned his title by
suspending the scales of justice on
various occasions in a dingy old office
in that now very enterprising town.
One afternoon an old woman whom
time had robbed ofall her charms, ac-
companied by buxom, comoly maid
EN-, and also badly scared young
man entered the judges Office and
said
"Jedge, these ere young 'uns want
to get tied, jined, bound together. unit
cd or anything else that tn law, the
law, Jedge, requires They're in love,
Jedge, and want to get married."
Madam" replied the judge, "if
there is any one thing about the law
that am absolutely infatuated with
more than another, it is dispensing

ustice in the form of a marriage cere-

justice in the form of a marriage cere-
mony."
"Are both these young people OF
age, madam ?" Inquired the Judge as
he reached for big law book and
adjusted his glasses.
"I'm of age, Jedge, and I'm manag-
ing this affair. If you have any OBJ
jections to tying this knot just say so,
and we'll hunt law elsewhere"
The judge felt himself sat upon, and
was unable to insist upon a stricter
reply to his question. 1t required
only glance to tell his that the
young man was way beyond the age
of discretion, when the old woman
was around, but he gazed long and
apparently with profound thoughtful.
ness at the girl, as if engaged in some
absorbing calculation. But his judicial
dignity demanded proper recognition,
and with wave of his hand he turned
away from the old woman and said
John, how old are you ?"
John !' calculated the old woman,
severely.
"Tw-twenty-one, SIR"
you're of age, then," the judge re.
piled, simply. "Your name is" and
the Judge hesitated and bowed to the
blushing young girl.
"Semantha, sir"
"Se-Great Scott II mean to say,
miss, your name is poetical one, and
l much admire it," said the Judge
with just a shade of embarrassment.
"Semantha, how old are you ?"
Samantha !" calculated the old
woman, absently. When the judge
turned and looked at her she was
quietly tying her bonnet strings.
81 am just past Is, judge" replied
the young girl.
81 her mother, Jedge."
81 wouldn't mean to say, any
one could have seen that from the re-
semblance. "You are a mighty well
preserved woman, madam, for this
climate" suggested the judge, in
conciliatory way.
"Shc, jedge, don't"
"It's a fact, madam But let us
proceed to unite these young people,"
and the judge performed the marriage
ceremony in his own exquisite way,
which many have attempted unsuc-
cessfully to initiate. When the cere-
mony was concluded the judge said :
"Young man, you're married. Sa-
lutte your mother-in-law. I'll take
care of the bride. That's according
to law" by way of clincher. But
the judges plans didn't work. He
forgot that the old woman was ex-
perienced. Before he was aware how
accomplished she was in this respect
she had her arms around his neck
and was imprintiug kiss after kiss
upon his manly brow and mouth
"Jedge, you're II mighty well pre-
served man but when you try to play
jokes on some experienced women
like myself you want to learn some
pints," and she gave him another kiss.
In the meantime the young people
had complied strictly with every re-
quirement of the law.
This is why the Judge is nervous
