cago's commercial tourists "On the
car was a lady and her four-year-
old boy. He was a sweet, attractive
little fellow and at once became the IA
vorite of all the passengers, who be-
slowed a great deal of attention upon
him. lie wore a neat little fur-trimmed
overcoat, from which button had be-
come detached. As a matter of course
the button found its way to the child's
mouth. Suddenly the mother uttered
wild scream and the passengers were
all greatly excited. The child's face
grew pale. 1t had swallowed that but
ton. The mother exclaimed that her
child was dying. There was no doctor
on the train. What was to be done?
In this emergency, as in most all others,
there was some one capable of meeting
it. While everybody else were wiring
ing their hands in helpless agony, one
man, who under ordinary circumstances
would not attract special attention,
was cool and collected. While the
other passengers told the mother to
pound the child on the back, shake it,
stand it on its head, and other nom
Sensical things, he told her to calmly
wait minute and all would be right
Taking piece of string from his left
hand vest pocket he attached it to but
ton-hole, which he inserted in the child's
mouth and induced it to swallow it
There was a composed look on the
mans face that seemed to assure the
rest of US that he knew what he was
about, and he certainly did, for when
he pulled the string and brought that
button-hole to our view again there was
the button in it, sure enough In few
minutes everybody was laughing and
chatting again, but the calm, quiet man
was looked upon as hero for the rest
of the journey"
WHY HE LIKES WINTER

q bald-headed commercial man. ''You
can't imagine how the flies bother me
during the summer. If it were not for
the fact that my business keeps me

where the fly season is not so serious

must keep my head cool, and in warm
weather go bare-headed as much as

he could paint spider on nay bald spot

A Military Highway Used by Early West
ern Settlers.
This military road was constructed
by the United States Government to
connect the military posts of the far
West with one another. Beginning at
Fort Leavcnworth, on the Missouri
river, it passed through Fort Riley at
the junction of the forks of the Kaw,
and then, still keeping up the north
side of the Republican fork, went on to
Fort Kearney, still farther west then
to Fort Laramie, which in those days
was so far on the frontier of our conn
try that few people ever saw it except
military men and the emigrants to Cali
fornia. At the time of which ] am writ
ing, there had been very heavy emf
grafton to California, and companies of
emigrants, bound to the Golden Land,
still occasionally passed along the great
military road
Interlacing this highway were in
Vulnerable trails and wagon-tracks, the
traces of the great migration to the FL
dorado of the Pacific; and here and
there were the narrow trails made by
Indians on their hunting expeditions
and warlilEe excursions Roads. such as
our emigrants have been accustomed to
in Illinois, there were none First came
the faint traces of human feet and of
unshod horses and ponies; then the
well-defned trail of hunters, trappers
and Indians; then the wagon-track of
the military trains, which, in course of
time, were snoothcd and formed into

TIE OLD CLOCK in The CORNER.

Or the morn Of lifelong years ago
We've memories sweet and tender,
In days when youthful hopes were bright
And means were small and slender;
When summers heat and winters cold
Were met and passed by lightly,
When friendships dear brought welcome cneer'
When evening lamps shone brightly;
When at the fading hours each day
The old clock In the corner licked away
When the old clock licked in the corner.
The present is ours, with health and friends,
With blessings new each morning.
With bread and meat each day to eat,
And for comfort and adjoining,
Apparel to wear enough and to spare
In cold or sultry weather.
And whether il SHOWS, or rains, or blows,
What matters when we gather
Where lamps fresh trimmed burn clear anu
bright,
While the pendulum swings to left and right
And the old clock ticks in the corner.
Then let US forward look with faith
In planning future duties;
Let's seek out pleasant walks and ways,
New life new loves new beauties;
FIJI heart and soul with noble thought.
Swell voice with joyous chorus,
Walking ahead with steady step
Along the way before US;
Then, now and hence going handin-hand
While the clock ticks OF Times hour-glass
sand
While the old clock ticks in the corner.

MEMORIAL CARDS

What is a memorial card? Not few
bereaved people in this town have
learned the answer during the past two
or three months and if the business
continues at its present prosperous rate
the whole country may be set agog by it
within year
"a memor: al card?' repeated the pro-
prietor and inventor of the scheme,
when the question was put to him.
"Why, this is one," and he handed the
reporter a card of the size known as
cabinet in photography, 1t had that
dull, North Michigan lead color so often
used by photographers as backing for
exquisite portraits, and out of it's gloom
had been scooped a rambling design, in
which were included dove struggling
with long streamer, some leaves that
probably were meant for immortelles,
and various other thingumies that could
not be reduced to definitions upon
cursory analysis
''You see," said the inventor, this is
what do. 1 fill in the white spaces in
the doves streamers with notices of a
sentimental, rel g:ous or hopeful char
acter, as the case seems to demand
That is in gilt Then you will observe
that there is blank space left in the
design below the dove and streamer.
That is where the name of the departed
goes, also in gilt, date of death IN
cluded.
THAT does it, don't you see. Such a
fard conveys its melancholy message
surely and artistically, and people
rather like it you know. Who buys
'em? Why, friends of the departed, Of
course subscribe for every paper il
New York. l read only the notices of
deaths. 1 take every name set down as
deceased and fix up card with the
name on it in the way told you. You
see, I've got font of type and hand
press here for the work. l print one
specimen for each name, varying the
motto as best l can judge from age or
other characteristics indicated in the
death notice. Then send the specimen
to the bereaved family. Without wait
Ing for them to recover from their grief
/ call at the house and explain that
such card costs me twenty-five cents
to get up; that it is simple, touching
souvenir Of the deceased, and a deli
cate means of conveying information to
friends and relatives. 1t saves so much
mournful bother, you know, in the way
Of writing letters In no case yet have
failed to collect the twenty-five cents
for the sample number, and in most
cases I get an order for dozen at least
Of the cards. Sometimes as many as
four dozen are ordered. That makes IL
profitable. Iexpect to see this idea be-
come very fashionable. find my Gus
toners in Fifth avenue, and the cheapest

hat every fly in the vicinity would start
for my head, but just as they were
about to settle down they would see the
spider and dart away in the widest
alarm. But for all that the scheme was
not a success, for while it fooled the
flies it also fooled other people. Every
time I'd remove my hat everybody
would be slapping my head with all
their might trying to kill that awful
spider before it had time to bite me
When I'd lift my hat to ladies on the
street they would see the insect and
either shout murder or faint away.
And so had to have it removed and
fight the flies as before. But tell you
