Vengeance.

Vengeance.
Twenty-Five years ago there lived
in a small town in Texas a respectable
family named Paine. A son wa
born aud christened Ransom. Not
long afterwarl Mr.. Paine had a fight
with man named Wyne, who bore
several aliases and was an imp iucipled
scoundrrl. The latter was woisteG
in the fight and swore vengeance
The Paines lived in peace until
their son was two years of age and
Mr. Paine had forgotten the threat.
One night Mr.. Paine was called
away from home on business, leaving
his family alone. The boy was sleeping
in crib in the mothers room near an
open window. she was forced to leave
the room for few minutes, and upon
her return was hOlrified to find the
crib empty

A Trip Down East" t"

It is safe to say that the large majority of those who take an annu- al vacation of from two weeks to a month, do not go for rest, but for recreation and change of scenc-a a change which of itself brings rest. To such, the East with it's great cities, it's historic places, seaside and mountain reports, lakes, and highly cultivated landscapes offers an invit- ing field.
 The number of places which may be reached in few hours by rail or steamer in the East, enables the tourist to see more in a week than he could see Tn month of travel in the West.
 Many of the eastern resorts may be visited by holders of through tickets reading over routes of through car lines, stop-overs being allowed, thus affecting considera- blc both in fares and time, as through rates are always less than ! local rates.
 Notable among the through tick cts reading over rontcs affordin2 this facility are the Ohio X Missis- sippi By and it's eastern connections. With the Baltimore X Ohio Route it runs both morning and evening lines Pullman Nestibule Sleepers from St. Louis through Deer Park and Oakland (the twin mountain re- sorts of the Alleghanies), Harpers Ferry, Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia to New York without change.
 In connection with the Erie R'y the 0. X NJ. Ky affords direct route for LakeChatauqua, Niagara Falls, Saratoga and Lake George. Erie By trains pass directly through Lakewood on the southern border of Lake Chatauqua, affording easy access to that favorite resort.
 For White Sulphur and other healing springs of the Nirginias, Richmond, Old Point Comfort, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, the c. X NJ. makes direct connection in Umon Depot, Cincinnati, with the Chesapeake X Ohio Route,
 Summer Excursion tickets to all the Eastern Resorts are now on sale at c. lS Nj. offices in St. Louis at re- duced rates.
 Rates to New York and other east eru points bp this line are lower than by any other through car route from St. Louis, and our accommodate tions are unsurpassed
 Those who contemplate a trip East this summer, should communicate with the undersigned, who will be glad to furnish descriptive pamphlets of the different resorts, reserve sleep ing car berth and supply any addi- tional information as to rates, time and routes.

It is curlons fact that watcr.piprs under ground will often freeze dur ing the warm spell that follow, a cold snap. The explanation made for this interesting phenomenon is that after a cold wave large qoan- tity of heat is taken from the ground in the work of changing the frozen moisture into water, and thus, on the principle of the ice-cream freez- CT, the pipes are chilled, enough heat being taken from il to freeze it.

surprise to officials in Washington. 1t

that which could be made out against
the Itata and, Notwithstanding the res

decision, it is felt that his action will
cause the failure of the original libel
lodged against the CHILEAN vessel, al
