Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from ST. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo

DESTROYS of going via Wichita The train
will stop here two hours, giving all
chance to view the Peerless Princess" and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives US through sleeping car

Personal Note by Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom
fortably housed in a poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed.
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
to beat. The rails are of heavy steel. the
track smooth and ock-ballas.ed and the
through ''Cannonball" train that flies at
a fifty-miles- per-hour speed over this ele-
CANT roadway is as pretty bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibuie sleeper is model of
luxury. and as easy as cradle. Chair
cars, library cars, and day coaches are all
carefully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightly named
"the most comfortably line" %

Ineerson on California.

In recent magazine article, Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer. says:
The climate Of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equability is constant. and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fled from superfuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise. and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life''
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route

Why Some Men Appear Rn5a

There is no doubt that men receive far
less credit for courtesy than is their right
iul due. Because one-fifth of the male hu-
manity OF large city lacks good breeding
should the whole body be denounced as ut
terly deficient of the elements of polite
ness? Further be it said that many men,
mistakenly but none the less honestly. be-
iIeve that they are justified in their appar-
ent rudeness by the careIessness of a large
proportion of women by acknowledging,
even by bend of the head the attention

When Booth Lar,~h ed.

Says Comedian William Messenger: ri
never saw Edwin Booth laugh heartily but
once. We were playing julius Cesar
at Baldwins in Frisco. Booth was Brutus,
Mccullough was Cassius, Harry Edwards
was Caesar and Charley Bishop and | were
plain, every day citizens It was the last
night of the run, and we all felt frisky.
So when Caesar spoke the well known line,
Let me have men about me that are fat. ,
Bishop and |, both fat men, walked boldly
up to Caesar and shook him heartily by
the hand. 1t broke Booth all up, and he
laughed outright. New York Herald

An Umpire's Peril.

The lot of the umpire in an amateur
baseball game is usually very unhappy
and likewise dangerous one. In con-
test recently played in town not many
miles from Buffalo between the home
team and a visiting club the umpire was
compelled to decide several close decis-
ions against the local nine, and though
the crowd became greatly excited no
harm befel the autocrat of the diamond
up to the last half of the ninth inning.
The score at that juncture was to in
favor of the visitors, with the home team
at bat. The first man up got base on
balls, the second singled and sacrifice
advanced each base.
A repetition of the four ball act filled
the bags. The next two batters famed
out. to the chagrin of the crowd, who
began to think that the umpire intended
to rob the home club of the game. The
climax was reached when the third man
had two strikes and three balls called on
him. The excitement was at fever heat,
for the next ball pitched meant defeat
or victory Straight as an arrow came
the sphere toward the plate, but as the
umpire tremblingly prepared to call
"Third strike; side Quit" the batsman
swung around with his club and knocked
the ball over the fence. The sensation
of joy experienced by that umpire was
of a very joyous kind, as he compre-
hended how near he had come to deaths
door. He never tires of telling the
story, but AYERS that he will never UNI
pire another ball game Buffalo Courier.
