There is belief current that what.
ever can be procured for money can be
had in t $ city, especially if it is any
thing to eat. The people who flock here
from every part of the country are apt,
sooner or later. to import their native
dishes, and to make them acceptable to
gastronomic New York.
New England, no matter how lightly
her cooking may be estimated, has had
notable success of this kind. Baked
beans. pumpkin pie and Boston brown
bread are with US. The western man
and his pork are known and appreciated.

An Old Time Conductor.

We had conductor named William
Ford. who was the most poinpous and
imposing man ever saw He was no
good, and the boys called him Windy
Bill on the sly, but the hardest of them
dared not say anything less than Mr..
Ford to his face. He was a big man,
and dressed i'll the best broadcloth and
walked about as if the earth belonged to
him. One day he walked into the office
at station where my wife and little
boy were sitting in the waiting room.
AS he passed through every one made
room for him Or tried to show him at
tention. My little boy watched him
quietly till he disappeared, and then he
whispered to his mother, Ma, was that

Tuesday Governor Buchanan, of
Tennessee, commuted the sentence of
Colonel IL. Clay King, who was to
have been hanged on the 18th. The
history of the crime is brief. King be-
came infatuated with the widow of the
late confederate general, Pillow, and
left his family to go and live with her.
Later he became jealous of AL attorney
named Posten, and deliberately shot
him down in the streets of Memphis.
There was absolutely no excuse for the
crime, ana there was none for the COM
mutation of the sentence. Col. King
was one of the ablest lawyers in the
state and had coditied the state laws.
His position alone secured the COM
mutation, which gives force to the
comon idea that there are two laws in
this country, one for the rich and an-
other for the poor. Colonel King
committed a brutal murder, and should
have been hanged for the crime.

With plenty OF water there would be
hay to sell, instead of hay to buy, and
not only this, but butter, eggs and live

THE SANTA FE TRAIL.
 By MRS. J. K HUDSON.

"W]lerc O1e dirtIt heU ljOu becn?''
 The old Santa Fe Trail, the scene of so many exploits of daring and suffering, is now an obliterated path. What we are wont to call 'sThe March of Progress" and 'sThe Spread of Civilization" have blurred it past following step by step over the prairies and mountains of the west, but the long track is still blazed here and there by prominent points bloody massacres and other historic in- cidents-so that one cannot deviate far if he undertake to follow it.
 It would not be wise, however, to set out upon this journey by any of the methods of travel that were in use when the Santa Fe Trail was the scene of a great traffic-with OK team plodding heavily and slowly, by which the pioneer emigrant moved on; nor on foot with pack upon back, as the forty-niners trav- eled. It would be hard to follow the trail so. The only highway that will take you over nearly the same route is the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail road. If it is not convenient to buy a ticket on that line and you have no pass, then get a map of the region west of the Mississippi and put your index finger down at what was once Westport Land ing, now Kansas City, Missouri. That is the starting point of our story.
 The old trading town of Westport was for long time the eastern limit of the Santa Fe Trail. It lay high on the bluffs, six or seven miles from the sand bar where St. Louis steamers landed their cargoes. Beyond the town, westward, and over the Kansas line, the United States government had set apart a stretch of country for the use of Santa Fe trains, on which they encamped and corraled their worn out oxen. Here the poor beasts rested, fed upon the rich prairie grass and recuperated strength for the long return journey over the plains to Santa Fe. The drivers of these unwieldly OK teams were mostly Mexi- cans, speaking no language but their own profane Spanish and looking sullen- ly out from under their sombreros and their tangled black hair. They and the

 Although he, too, had been curious concerning her ''friend," he was not greatly surprised to see her standing alone after the passengers were all land- ed from the Polar Star. He approach ed her just as the officers wives, who were in the great wagon ready to ascend the hill, espied her, and called to her to join them.
 captain as he came up, and, though the puzzled anew at the tone, and the ex- pression he fancied he detected for an instant in her face was one of relief rather than disappointment.
 ''The ladies are going up to sec the town," the captain explained; perhaps you had better go along" The woman had learned from the off cers' wives while aboard the Polar Star that their husbands and portion of the l troops were destined to Fort Leaven-
 worth, fifty miles farther mp the river, and that the remainder of the soldiers. under command of sergeant, would disembark at Westport Landing and ac- | company the Santa Fe trains westward as far as Fort Dodge. The captain helped the mysterious passenger into the train wagon, where she was imme- diately piled with questions: "What can you dor" Esi E t.Where will you go?' "What do you s1ppDses has prevented your friend from meeting youY 1t seems objectionable in such a place as thisl" and much more was said. To all of which the little woman sim l ply replied that she did not know.

After dinner had been served at the tavern, and the military officers had taken their wives out to the corrals to see the Mexicans, and the wagon trains, and the prairies, and it was time to re- turn to the landing, the women turned to their companion of the voyage and asked her if she would go with them to the fort, adding that she could probably find employment there in some officers family or she could return by the boat to St. Louis. To their consternation she answered that she was going on to Santa Fe. One of the wagon masters had his wife with him, and she had already bar gained with her for the trip.
 There was nothing to do but to say goodby, wish the woman safe journey and success in her errand. After the de- parture of her friends the lone traveller immediately took up her abode in camp with the wagon masters wife. There all was activity and bustle, preparations for the journey were going forward on every side, though it would be two or three days, they said, before the packing could be completed and all made ready Many of the trains were OH the way to the landing, others were already down by the levee receiving their loads and the remainder were preparing to start. All save one. At Kings corral the oxen were standing idly about, and the stupid Mexicans were looking along the many little trails that converged to- ward Westport, and up and down the Kings highway" but no wagon mas- ter was ill sight for them. In half an hour well dressed Mexican galloped up to them on a mustang, hurling native paths at their dogged faces and cruel, black eyes. The ''greasers" fell to work and jabbed the unoffending cat tie as they yoked them up. N'' ''' s'It is a bad piece of business said the wagon masters wife to her guest. companion or servant (she could not de- fine the position which the strange wo1n- an occupied in her mind and her fami- | ly). "The man King went off with the | others to see the boat come i'll and mo- body hain't seed him sence. Leastways l he started down the trail he made his self over the hill wander, an that's the last of him. It's more like Mexican to act that away, an the men folks say King seemed like right decent feller."
 The stranger said nothing, but busted herself about the cooking she had volun- teered to assist with. Some one was re- cruited or promoted to the vacant wagon mastership and the packing went on.
 The next day when the wagon masters wife arose from her siesta under the wagon, she saw the strange woman com ing toward the corral along the King highway" When she drew near and sat down in the grass quite out of breath, her hostess said:
 ''Where on airth hev you been?T missed you the minute got awake. You hain't been out jest to pick them flowers, hev you? Jest you wait twell we git out on the perarah where there's been no grazin to speak of if you want to see flowers"
 The wagon masters wife never knew to a certainty just what became of the flow CTS that were gathered on the Kings highway" but she took it for granted they were thrown away after she had imparted the information of finer ones to come.
The Press., 1892-07-14

wagon masters slept and ate in camp and drank at the trading post, while the head buyers went on to St. Louis to lay in stock of goods adapted to the markets of the mysterious country that was long ago conquered by Spain and then forgotten of men. Sometimes these trains had long time to wait for the , journey to St. Louis, and the return voyage up the mud shifting Missouri was tedious and of uncertain duration.
 In the summer of eighteen hundred and ffty-one many corrals dotted the uplands of the prairie on the reserve knear Westport, and the herds of cattle i belonging to them grazed in the val leys, lay on the sun slopes, and drank from the half dry creeks that wound through the hills toward the Raw. They had grown sleek and fat, their gaunted sides were filled out and their appealing ribs were buried in flesh, so long had they waited for a cargo.
 Even the lazy teamsters were growing restless, and the wagon masters were anxious to start westward while the grass was in good condition. All were listening for the steamers whistle that could be plainly heard at the post when the wind was from the north, but they did not trust to that for information of the boats arrival. Couriers were con- stantly going back and forth to and from the landing on the fleet footed Mexican ponies that accompanied all OK trains on the Santa Fe Trail for the uGe of outriders, scouts and messengers. 'sNo boat" was the word they brought back day after day, until one hot after noon when the sunshine quivered over the prairie like the breath of furnace, and no breeze so much as stirred the long grass in the sloughs. The cattle lay panting Ton the uplands, and the Mexicans were stretched out in the shade of the wagons.
 | Suddenly grateful north wind came swirling among the grass, breaking the siesta of the summer day in an instant, and almost upon it's first wave came the sound of the boats whistle. The camp was alert at once. Ponies were saddled and mounted and went dashing from corral to corral, and then away to the town and the landing. ..s
 Wagon Master King was an American, "states" man. and spoke both English and Spanish. He was of uncertain age, because of his brown, unkempt, from tiersmanlike appearance, and yet rather young than old. He had been one of the most impatient for the boat to come, and now he among the first to catch a pony and spur it off down the hillside | toward the river. Just how he differed from the others of this unimportant party it would be difficult to tell; per haps most markedly in slight aloof- ness, a feeling that had led him to make bridle path through the woods that lay between Westport town and the landing, and to follow it whenever he had ridden down to the river rather than the wagon road used by the trains. When the boats whistle was heard he started off ill great haste, and as usual turned into the bypath, while dozen or more men kent on in the road. This
