ABE CRAWFORD, who lived in up

was killed last Saturday while re-
turning from Madison with a load
of guano. He was driving two
mules, one p very wild one. AS he
passed a farm house dog ran at his
team, and Crawford began striking
at the dog with his whip. The team
took fright and Crawford was jerked
from the wagon. Both wheels on
one side passed over his head, kill
ing the man instantly and mutilat-
ing mis- features almost beyond re-
cognition. Crawford is said to have
been considerably under the inau-

BUY A HOME.

Young man, don't spend your

and own it. Buy it with the deter
mination to keep it as long as you

you have no money except what
you earn yourself, then scrupulously
save and lay aside a part of your in

for G piece Of land. 10 be the own>
er of homestead will have bene-
fetal effect upoI your character. 1t
will increase your self-respect, your
confidence in yourself. You will
feel that you have substantial po-
sition and something at stake in the
community. The habit of saving
which you will have formed in saw
ing money to purchase piece of
land will in itself be valuable to you.
1t will aid you greatly in acquiring
other property, and becoming indie
pendent. The tendency of this is
to make you self-reliant, more ambi-
tious, more Industrious, more care
full, and a better citizen. The own
ership of a home will add greatly to
your happiness. The feeling which
it engenders is source of constant
satisfaction. There is one spot of
earth which you can improve and
beautify. With that spots your
thoughts and affections become iden-
tilted. You learn to love it. 1t is
like an unchanging friend. 1t be-
comes an untailing source of enjoys

NOT WITHOUT WARNING.

1t is remarkable peculiarly of
most poisonous reptiles, that they
seem to have great reluctance of
putting their deadly powers into
operation. Before inhicting the
fatal bite, the rattlesnake always
gives his note of warning, and the
same may be said of the cobra dica>
pello, the most deadly of the many
poisonous reptiles of India The
cobra warnings unmistakable. He
dilates the crest upon his neck aud
gives Miss loud enough to be heard
distinctly fifty feet away. The Coz
BRAS crest is d flexible membrane
or hood with two black circulars
joined together so as to form very
good representation of pair of
spectacles. When the hood or crest
is in shape its eyes seem to blaze
with a devilish lustre, and the con,
tinued Kissing gives the very air a
noisome smell. According to the
best authorities the cobra never
bites while the hood is closed; and
as long as that particular membrar. e
is not erected the creature may be
approached and handled with i'm
punity. Even though the crest be
spread, if the creature continues in
silence there is no danger. One hiss
however, is sure sign that the rep
tile is angry and searching for a
victim.

; AN exchange tells the story of a
boy who went to market with sack
of rabbits and fingered around town
all day. When asked by his mother
why he had not sold his rabbits he
said no one had asked him what was
in his sack. How many merchants
are like this little boy? They have
plenty of goods for sale, but fail to
tell the people what is in the sack.
If you expect to sell goods in this

A Stranger Among Strangers.

When the Missouri Pacific train No.
l came in from St. Louis yesterday
afternoon the conductor placed a lit
tie old woman, whOseemed to be de-
mented, in the care of the depot mas
Ter.
She came from Syracuse, N. Y,
and had a ticket through to Walker,
Mo-, south of here on the NJ. X. Il
T. When the train arrived here she
objected to getting of, saying she
never had heard of Walker, and
wanted to go to Holden, Mo. She
seemed harmless, but had lost all idea
of her destination or where che was 60
ing, before she left here.
She WAS placed on the south bound
NJ. X. & 7. train last evening and
left to the tender mercies Of the con-
ductor and strangers. She could not

the contribution would cut no figure

had been raised, so far as he knew.
but that the effort to secure cash sub
scribers was still going on.

A Bad OFF Girl.

\ N:<ouri Pacific conductor yester-
day brought a modest little l4-year-
old Girl to the matron of the Union
depot. The girl, who was crying Bit
terly. said that her name was May
Castor; that she had boarded the
train at Dresden, Mo-, and that the
conductor had permitted her to ride
to Kansas City free, as she had no
money with which to buy a ticket.
Her father died in Henry, ILL.,, where
she formally lived. and her mother
died recently near Sedalia, NO.. leav-
ing the girl in destitute circumstances.
She had no relatives in Missouri and
resolved To visit her oily sister in Ne
braska. After leaving her last home,
she had to walk ten miles to the rail-
road station. Mrs. Chalfant started
a purse for her among the men and
women in the depot who were waiting
for trains, and succeeded in raising
about 81, with which n ticket was
bought, and the young girl was sent
on her way.--Kansas City Mad.

A Sisters Disappointment

The following pathetic little story
of a NEW recruit" has been sent to
the BAzoo for publication.
Perhaps the readers of the BAzoo
will remember that two years ago Miss
Jennie Rainier went to the Pacific
coast, with the hope Of regaining her
health, which she did, and having
found employment at good wages, de-
termined, if possible, to help her
parents, sisters and bother, Forest, to
cross over the mountains to the
golden state Having engaged
work at seventy-fve dollars per month
for her brother, providing he could
get the privilege of learning to be q
moterman. This he failed to do and
consequently he was very much. dis
couraged and it took little coaxing to
get him to join the regular army for
FIVE years. Forest is a good boy. He
is honest, industrious and truthful.
His parents and friends think he will
make success, but his sister in Oak
land will be almost heart-broken.

Lost her Ticket.

Yesterday afternoon a lady with
her three children and maid, came in
from Jefferson City on Missouri Pa
cifc train No. l. Her destination was
Sweet Springs and when she went to
hunt up her baggage to take the Lex
ing branch train, she missed her trav-
cling bag. 1t had been left on the
train and contained her Pocket book
and tickets. Train No. 1 had gone
on its way and Agent Berry at once
wired the conductor to find the bag
and return it to this city. The lady
went on her way and the bag was re-
turned to Sweet Springs, from indie
pendence last night, everything intact.
So much for the accommodation Of
the Missouri Pacific.
