Frisco Line to st. Louis and the East.

The St. Louis & San Francisco railway
is now the only line running Pullman
Palace sleeping cars from Wichita to st.
Louis without change; and in addition to
this service they also run elegant free re-
clining chair cars and handsome day
coaches between the two mentioned cities.
The Frisco line is the shortest and
quickest line under one management be-
tween Wichita and St. Louis, and has for
years furnished to its patrons an unsur-
passed through train service, not being
dependent upon connecting lines to make
a through route as is the case with other
lines, consequently the delays so vexatious
to travellers are not encountered. Only
one change of cars to Boston, New York
and other principal intermediate cities.

MY FRIEND THE EDITOR.

Sam Davis in San Francisco Examiner:
The most extraordinary newspaper
publication l have ever had any knowl-
edge of was q paper published up in the
Sierra range about fifteen years ago
called the Manganetus Index.
The publication alluded to had mys-
~teriously fallen into my mail box in San
Francisco for ver a year, and it was al
ways u welcome arrival.
1t was neatly printed, carried several
columns of live advertisements, and had
a bright, bustling air about it that al
ways gave me a very favorable impress
sion of the little town of Manganetus, as
we'll as of the man who edited the paper.
He took o decided stand on all the
current topics of the day, and on every
thing transporting in the town where his
paper was published he carried candor
to the verge OF %rashness.
| never saw "a paper edited with such
absolute fearlessness, and | often won :
dered why it was that the editor was
not some time mobbed or murdered.
At last my business o me in the vi
entity of M~anganetus, and | decided to
make the editor u call.
1t was fast coming on nightfall as /
neared the spot where tho town was To-
Gated, and l spurred my horse up the
steep mountain. thinking OF the warm
bed and excellent supper l should soon
be enjoying.
My mind was full of the Slavin house,
a hotel OF very superior accommoda-
tions, which advertised literally in the
Index, and whose royal provender and
home comforts the little paper was
never weary of describing.
'Only a mile more," / said to myself,
as | thumped my weary beast with a
| good sized stick, and after another mile
/ repeated my observation, and so the
poor horse went or checking off miles
and miles, while / kept trying to per-
suade myself that each mile was the
last.
Strange, / thought, that / could see
no lights ahead. l strained my eyes for
the welcome twinkle from cottage win
dows that in the darness tell the tray,
eler of the town, but the night
crept on, u little faster perhaps
| han the horse, and still / alone.
Presently l came TO Il log cabin and
my heart rose as ! say the light gleam-
ing through the chinks. DismOunting
/ walked stiff INT lame to the cabin and
hammered on tho door.
A little bent-up man, with a wrinkled
leathery face, came to answer, and as
he opened the door cautiously, / mo-
ticed hat he had a cooked pistol in his
hand.
Seeing the pistol, / said to myself;
Here is civilization"
After the little man with the big pis-
toll had surveyed my famished face and
tired horse. he opened the door a little
wider, and then swinging it back with

Queen victoria's dislike OF Gladstone

Queen Victoria's dislike Of Gladstone
is at last explained. A recent writer
says that when the Grand Old Man
used to visit the regal old lady he was
won't to talk to her ''about the polity of
the Utilities or the relations between
the Athanasian creed and Homer"
The queen, perplexed and uncomforta-
BILE, would seek to make a depression,
and would address a remark to a daugh-
ter or offer a biscuit to u begging ter
rier. Mr.. Gladstone would restrain
himself with an effort, wait until the
princess had answered or the dog had
sat down, and then would promptly re-
sume-''As 1 was saying" Mean
while the flood had gathered force by
delay, and when it burst forth again it
carried all before it. Victoria used to
complain that on those occasions it was
Gladstone that was rude. She was
probably in the same ~predicament that
Biddy Moriarity was when O'Connell
called her a parallelogram.
At her last regular appearance at Krol's,
in Berlin, on July 10, Etelka Gerster sang
marguerite in ''Faust,' in German. The
critics refer fayorably to the performanc

The Girl Who Gushes.

"gushing girl" says the Toledo Blade.
She is not a rare specimen and can be
found most anywhere upon the face of
the globe, and though she is generally
q nonentity in regard to brains and
good common sense, she is still to a GER
tain extent, able to do a good deal of
harm to her more sensible sisters: AS
q general thing she is disliked by her
own SEX, who have no patience with her
wild flights of fancy, while a man will
listen and be half amused, but forming
the while q wrong idea of the rest of
womankind. School girls gush and eX-
trnvagant expressions are excused be-
cause there is hope that it will be out
grown, but where 1t is carried from the
school room into womanhood there is no
hope. A ''gusber" can hardly be a
good, true woman, for she lacks SINGER
ity, going into eCstacies over tribes as
quickly as she does over things of merit.
The saying is that after a man has told
a lie a number of times over 1t actually
becomes truth to him, and perhaps it is
the same in the case of the "gusher."
She becomes SO in the habit of raving
over anything and everything that she
actually believes all she says. Gush
will be tolerated in a young woman. So
long as she is fresh and pretty, with
rosy cheeks and bright eyes, some n
will listen to her, but let her beware
when the roses fade and the crows feet
creep in. for it is only the brilliant, the
witty, or the wise to whom q hearing is
then given.

New Life in West Virqinia.

West Virginia is coming out of her
rags and putting on neat, new Sun
day clothes as fast as the thing can
be done. An interview with promi-
nent business man Of the Kanawha
Valley, in another column, shows
that an era of unprecedented pros
perity is before that section of the
State. New railroads, new coal and
coke works, new saw mills, new ener-
gy and enterprise generally, promise
rich returns to the public-spirited citi
zens who take part in the work.
The Norfolk and Western, the Ohio
River and the Charleston and Ohio
River Roads have completed surveys
for extensions that will be beneficial.
Rights of way have been secured and
work begun at various points. The
purchase of tracts of land is an assur
ance that these enterprises will be
pushed through; and when it is done
the parallel valley of the Guyan-
dotte, Twelve Pole and Big Sandy
will feel the tread of the Iron Horse,
and their hidden wealth will roll
forth into day at his coming. These
wild and almost inaccessible por-
tions of the State may be made its
richest. With iron ore and coal beds
only few miles apart, and with con-
yenient means of communication to
unite them and bear their product
to market, there is reason to believe
that Logan, Boone, Wyoming and
Mcdowell counties will take wonder
full strides in the next few years.
The new growth of the State is by
no means confined to the kanawha
valley or the Southern counties. 1t
can be safely said that there is. more
business enterprise in West Virginia
TODAY than ever before. There are
more projects on foot to multiply in
dustry and employ capital. New rail
roads are contemplated. Some of
them are assured, and along their
lines there will be mines opened up,
mills built, and fiourishing communi-
ties collected as if by magic. There
is fresh life in West Virginia, and the
capitalist who wishes to invent his
money, or the emigrant who desires
to bring his family and raise home,
can not seek fairer land or one that
is fuller with rich promise Wheeling
Re1ister.
