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 ELI" 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
be is ready for the days business or in
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tions.
For the convenience of passengers from
Kansas City the Ell" takes dining car
out 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. r. is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas CITY and st Jo-
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 Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the
greatest amount of comfort, with the
least expense of money or time.

mAN6AIIAny IAN Luz. 81, 1905.
Ben c. Rich,
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of the 21st at
hand stating that you had received the
forage seeds which We sent you, and en-
closing sample of yellow milo maize.
Brown dhoura and yellow milo maize
seem to be identical. We grew the same
plant under both names here this season.
Some seedsmen send it out as brown
dhoura; others sell the same seed as
yellow milo maize. 1t is very desirable
plant, but is hardly equal, so far as we
have tried it, to white milo maize.
White milo maize yielded this year with
us Is tons dry fodder and 81 bushels of
seed per acre; brown dhoura 1311 tons
fodder, 40 bushels of seed. OF course
another season may reverse these figures.
Red kaffir corn is a new variety and
seems to be a valuable acquisition. 1t
yielded this year 9 tons dry fodder and
II bushels of seed per acre. hope you
will give it thorough trial.
Yours truly,
E. N. SHELTON.

MRS. BETSY AVERILL.
The Oldest Pensioner That Is on Uncle
Sans List.

The Oldest Pensioner That Is on Uncle
Sans List.
Mrs. Betsy Averill celebrated the one
hundred and third anniversary of her birth
at New Preston, Conn, May 9Th. Mrs.
Averill, says the Hartford Times, was born
May 8, 1877, in the town of Southbury,
Conn. The birth occurred before the as
sembling Of the convention that formed
the Constitution of the United States, and,
therefore, before the first election of &c orge
Washington as President. She remembers
very distinctly the universal and deep
mourning at the time of the death of w ash
ingtOn. which occurred when she was II
years old.
Her parents were Amos and Patience
tHickoX) johnson. She was married in
1918, and her husband died % years ago,
aged II. Mrs. Averill's ancestors, as well
as those OF her husband, were among the
earliest settlers in New England. Her father
and her hIs5andts father served in the war
of the revolution, 1i,-ihfser husband served
in tho war OF 1872. Mrs. AveriIl II 1T no
pensioner, receiving an annual allowance
from the United States Government for the
services rendered by her husband. She Is
probably the Oldest penSioner in the United
States. She was the mother of five chill
dreD, four Of whom grew up and lived to
raise families. Only two of her children
are now living. She has had sixteen grand-<
children and thirty greatgrandchildren.
The early part oil her life was passed
when the clothing, carpets, ETC., for family
use were principally homemade, and she
did a large share of the carding, spinning
and weaving flax, wool and cotton for her
family before and after her marriage.
Mrs. Averill's everyday life is much like
that of any aged lady. She moves about
the house and outdoors quite readily,
although a little lame at times from some
minor alment She takes care of her own
bed, and to considerable extent OF her
rooms her fire and her clothing. She is
busy most of the time with the cares and
duties OF life, and, characteristic OF her
Christian character. is always more ready
to do for others than for herself Her men,
DRY is nearly as good as ever. She can
hear and understand ordinary conversation
when addressed to her, and can read good
print in daylight She is much interested
in her church and community affairs, and
keeps herself remarkably well informed in
relation to her family, her friends and ac-
quaintances.
Three years ago Mrs. Averill celebrated
her one hundredth birthday. The festive
occasion was attended by fifty of her de-
scendants, together with a large number Of
her friends. During the celebration of this
event Mrs Averill was presented with a
set of Henry Ward Beecher's sermons by
the children of the Sunday-school con-
nected with the church to which she be-

A QUEER CHAP.

He Enjoyed Seeing Other People Beat
the Elevated.
Three men who were taking an elevated
train at Park place few nights ago, were
all eager to pay the fares. The result Of
their enthusiasm was that four tickets were
dropped into the box. The man who guards
the: ticket-chopper, good-natured, kindly
eyed fellow, who knew all the men, saw the
four tickets 60 in and was good enough to
offer to return one ticket. His efforts to do
this brought out the characteristic shrewd-
ness and independence of the average New
Yorker. Indeed. it did more than this 1t

their natural suspicion against trckery and
"bunco" work suddenly driving them TO the
violent extreme of common sense.

He threw down fve-cent piece at the W in

realized what he was doing, threw it in to

But the other did not hear him, ap-
parently, for he half pushed the hand aside,
and dropping in his ticket, mechanically
walked along the platform and gazed up
into the somber skies, utterly oblivious of
the laughter of the three men who were
trying to collect the ticket.
The next man was the keeper of news
stand Upon his shoulder he carried a
great pile of newspapers. He came drift
ing along like an overloaded barge, push
ing every one before him, and in went his
ticket, just as he dropped his bundle with a
grunt Of relief.
Following him came a short, thick-set
man with hostile face.
"Give me the ticket, please" repeated
the guardian of the chopper, reaching for
it. The other brushed his hand aside
roughly.
"Wl at do you mean?" he said. sharply.
Three pairs of hands were covering the
box, while three men were choking with
laughter.

short man, angrily, "you can't play any
games on me. | put my ticket in the box

Some one tried to explain.

and, forcing aside the hands over the box,
he dropped in his ticket, looked down the
box to make sure it was there and stalked
off with the air of conQueror.

HEN AND CAT.
A Queer Battle Royal over a Brood OF

"A SuccT ONtE q VI
Kittens.
At Stafford Springs, Conn, facetious
and determined old hen wanted to sit, but
her owner took away her eggs, wherupon
in Querulous mood she quit her nest and
clustered about the homestead, finding a
great deal of fault with life. While she
was doing that the family cat discovered
her artistically wrought and rounded nest,
curled up in it and deposited five kittens
there. Then the hen came back, pitched
into pussy, fairly drove her off the nest,
flew in and sat on the kittens, evidently in
ferriDg that they were new kind of chick
ems she had hatched In moment of mental
abstraction.
For day or two the hen brooded away
and the unhappy cat stalked about the
get back her own. AT the cad Of three
days the hen lad to quit the old stand for
food and water and promptly the cat
slipped into the nest, and taking the kittens
one by one by the scruff of tile neck, trans
ported them all to a distant part of the hay
NOW. Then came the hen home again, and
when she found the fiedglings flown she
raised another noisy row all about The farm.
She looked allow and aloft, yainly for
awhile. for the missing brood, and finally
found them ranged alongside the parent
cat. Again there was battle and again
the old cat had to flee from the furious hem
pecking but she took along one kitten in
her teeth, while the hen held the field Of
battle and four feline spols.
With the kitten in her mouth the cat
scaled high scaffold and made for herself
a new home, with her one offspring by her
side, but the old hen is still encamped on
the rest of the kittens in the new-made
nest She lays not, neither does she cackle,
but 1t really looks as if she were going to
bring up the four kits in spite of all draw
backs and setbacks.-N. Y. Sun.
