Still the Favor1te.

If you are contemplating a trip fol
business or pleasure it will be well to re.
member that the Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the reason that every man,
woman and child in the country is so
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule "ELI'
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the passen-
ger In St Louis in the early evening of
the same day. .
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
ST. Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

The following extract from letter
written by j. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown
Iowa. speaks for itself. 1.-Two years ago,
in harvest time, young man came in my
store and said he had been binding wheat
during the forenoon, and was SO bad with
diarrhoea and collie pains, that he would
have to lay off unless he could get relief.
l took bottle of your diarrhoea remedy
from the shelf; gave him a dose; sold him
the bottle, and gave him the bottle, and
told him I would give him the money
back if it did no good. He came back
next morning and said the single dose
did its work so we'll, that he not only kept
up his place during the afternoon, but
dad worked all night; and had the price
of the dose I gave him been three dollars,
it would have been cheap. I would fur
ther say, keep on with your good work.
You cannot Recommend your medicine
too highly. Chamberlain's Collie, Chole-
"a and Diarrhoea Remedy is one of the
greatest medicines of the age; it cannot
be beat. Wishing you much success and
prosperity which you richly deserve, I re-

RansounA

The recent abduction in Kansas City
Of David Beals, Junior, who was held for
ransom, has raised many interesting
questions in my mind. First-What, or
where was the practice first established.
Second-Who was the first person held
for ransom? Third-Wnat Kings, If any,
were ever abducted, or kidnapped aad
held for ransom? From what do we get
the phrase used when describing an ex-
pensive thing.-"Worth q kings ran
somg Those are historical questions,
nice to spring upon the teacher when
giving your news items.
There is another question. Is is Shis:
How far should an honest man who has
suffered from abductions, keep faith with
them. Look at the question from all
aides. Yes, I see that fine point Of honor
which would compel q man to keep his
word though the heavens should fall BE
viii bring misery on thousands before
he'd give mp trust, or break faith
oven though he il the only houorable
party to the transaction. Should Mr.
Bsab hsve kept his faith with tho sb,

ductors. Won't you bear me out in say
ing no? Shouldn't everybody say no?
Look at it this way: Those men are
criminals. Those who keep faith with
them shield them. Those who from a
false estimate of duty and honor keep
alive this practice of demanding ransom.
A practice worthy only the barbara
Dations that established it. There are a
few noted cases of this in our country
and our civilization ought to be such
that this case would be the last. Now
let us relegate this business to the land OF
the Dago, where it aourishes in all its
hideousness.

the vests described, having full ruffle of
Chiffon around it.
The dress goods is camels hair. The
hair is in stripes, plaids, polka dots OF

1 saw light gray camels hair worn by
theatrical 'star." 1t was of the kind
that had irregular marks and was trim

not low collar was simply omitted and
the neck was pointed out" front and
back. It fitted her ike-absolutely like
'the Paper on the WALL" I wondered If
it weren't made on her, and whether it
could come off,
Skirts are made close fitting though
without that "pull back" effect seen in
some illustrations. They are not SO tight
as they look and good modistes will not
make them so.
Such pretty house dress was made of
black mohair with trimming of cardl.
nal silk pleating. The skirt was plain.
The bodice has tight fitting waist with
pieces put on for skirt, cut almost pam
nier shape. A belt of black hid the join
ings of pannier to waist. The pleatlng
wss double, about two inches and a half
wide, and put down the front and around
the panniers Tor bottom of the
basque. 1t made such neat, pretty
dress.
A new tea-gown has the back pleated
in fine pleats from neck to below waist

Buttons and lots of them are used.
Much fur in narrow bands is employed
in trimming everything from baby's bon
net to her mammals tea gown.
Flat hats and toqus obtain. By the
way, if you get a toqu shape that isn't
becoming it may be due to the way you
dress your hair. Look in the glass and
try pinning up your side bangs. This
makes your face seem narrower and will
make great difference sometimes in the
becomingness of your bonnet.
And something else: Babies are be-
coming fashionable. I'm SO glad that
western Kansas fashions will at last
obtain. Aren't you. little folks? You
should be glad that you are to reign
again.
The Astor-Willing baby corroborates
this statement and then the amount of
work and money put into the clothes of
little folks, the fact that boys again are to
have distinctive dress, all bear me out
in saying that We, out here, are fashion
able.
1t will come to pass now, as in the old
en- time, the lady who pets dogs, cats and
monkeys, pets them because she has
nothing better to pet-poor thing! Poor
old thing.

To Kansas City and Return
FOR THE LADIES.

There were so many pretty things for
ladies that 1 hardly know to begin, but
however as my space always runs short
at the last end, I think I'll begin with
some vests I saw. They only reached
about half way to the waist line, were cut
v shape and were of white or cream
usually, though one made ct card
inal velvet was very pretty. 1t had
two rows of white pearl ball buttons.
The buttons were set two rows close to
gether on strip of velvet. The rest had
button holes on each side and when but
toned the edges met perfectly. White
and cream were made in the same way,
though if one wants to do away with so
many pieces make two box plests, meet
ing, and have buttons in the center of
each. These rest were set under reveree
or folds.
Do you know how so many ladies man.

They have two bodices to every dress If
they can't afford new dress for every
occasion. Now you viii say, II knew
that" OF course You did but you will
forget it the next time you 60 to have q
dress made. But the very things that
will give you most pleasure If you do not
forget the second bodice is to have one
made perfectly plain. That's awfully
hard to do when there are 60 many
pretty cords. jets and trimmings OF such
endless variety, to say nothing of buttons
galore. However do not be beguiled into
having any trimming at all; then you
may vary your costume at will with
Chiffon and it is SO pretty. This is EN-.

Little Flo's Letter.
"A sweet, little baby brother
Had come to live with Flo,
And she wanted it brought to the table
That it might eat and grow
SIT must wait for a while,'' said grandma,
In answer to her plea,
For little thing that hasn't teeth
Can't eat like you and me-"
''why hasn't it got teeth, grandma:''
Asked Flo, in great surprise;
''Oh, my, but amt it funny?
No teeth, but nose and eyes?
Tguess, latter thinking gravsly)
''They must have been fordot.
Can't we buy him some like grandpa,
I'd like to know why not?
That afternoon in the corner
With paper, pen and ink,
Went Flo, saying: 'Don't talk to me.
fyou do, it'll stop my think!
I'm writing letter, grandma,
To send away tonight;
And cause it's very 'portant
want to get it right.
At last the letter was finished,
Awonderful thing to see
And directed to "God in Heaven"
Please read it over to me,''
Said little Flo to her grandma,
ITO see If it's right you knows
And here is the letter written
To God from little Flo
Dear God--The baby you brought us
Is awful nice and sweet
But cause you forgot his toofie.,
The poor little thing can't eat;
That's why I'm writing this letter
purpose to let you know
Please come and finish the baby.
That's all From LITTLE Flo" =.
