THROUGH PULLMAN SLEEPING
CARS TO NEW ORLEANS VIA
THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND.

Recognizing the demand for better
train service to Texas, New Orleans
and the Southeast, The GREAT Rock
ISLAND ROUTE is now running daily
from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, through Pullman Sleeperto
New Orleans via FIT Worth and Texas
x Pacific Ry. This desirable depart
ure will serve to give passengers
bound for New Orleans and interme-
diate points all advantages derived
from the removal of the disagreeable
features of changing cars, and by
quick connection at Ft. Worth obyia-
ting tedious waits at junction points
The cars are the latest pattern, are
lighted by the Pintsch gas system,
and combine all the luxurious essen
tial features necessary to the travel
er's comfort. Leave Denver $40 p.
M, Pueblo 6:55 p. M, Colorado
Springs S:15 p. M, arriving at New
Orleans at $50 a. m. on third morn
ing, two hours quicker than by any
other route This through service
should be popular as it is only two
days out and makes good connections
at New Orleans for all Southeast, Gulf
and Atlantic points. Berths may be
reserved in advance and full particu-
lars will be cheerfully given by

A Lively Storm.

I For a period of just about ten min
utes on last Saturday afternoon La
mar experienced regular d-fash-
ioned Kansas storm, one of the kind
that makes the hair raise on man and
beast. 1t occurred just before the six
o'clock whistle blew, and for the
brief time it lasted the wind and hail
played havoc.
The worst portion of the storm did
not extend far into the country, but
nevertheless great deal of damage
is reported to crops in the track of
the storm. Gardens that were in its
reach were literally wiped out; while
wheat and alfalfa seed crops were
badly damaged. The most of dam
age occurred north and east of town,
but it also caught several farms ly-

If any of our citizens cared about

He Lives on Monkey Diet,

A recent session of the Missouri
Valley Horticultural Society at Kan
sas City was addressed by w. S. Man
scribed, "Fellow of the Royal Botanic
Society and Hon. Secretary and LEG
turer of the Natural Food Society to
promote Food Reform Based on Sci
ence." Mr.. Manning's hobby is, as his
card indicates, "food reform" He
advocates that the human family
should live solely on diet of fruits
and nuts, and he practices what hs
breaches. He said in his address that
for eight years past he had not swa.
lowed n drop of liquid refreshment OF
any kind nor a morsel of cooked food.
He had subsisted solely on fruits and
nuts.
"My breakfast this morning con
sisted of "A half pound of California
figs, two oranges and two bananas
mashed up together, followed by
tomato salad and a handful of nuts.
This meal was eaten raw, as all my
meals are.
What did you have for dinner?"
asked member of the society.
81 have not yet eaten dinner. | eat
but two meals day, My dinner will
come between and 10 o'clock this
evening, and will be repetition of

Mr.. Manning claims that an exclu-
sive diet of fruits and nuts contains all
the nutriment that the human body
needs, and he claims also that the body
fed on such diet cannot be sick Mr..
Manning is not "a crank. He is de-
scribed by the Kansas City Times as
an intelligent, well educated, ford-
faced robust man. He has proved to
his own satisfaction by experience that

A COLONIAL TALE.

In plainly furnished apartment in
the city of Philadelphia, some years
before the American Revolution, sat
Benjamin Franklin. A table, covered
with papers, was before him but his
thoughts did not seem to be upon
them. He was, in fact, looking out of
window, with the air of q man who
is paid by the day, rather than of a
philosopher or statesman. Suddenly,
however, he exclaimed, "Ah! that is
the abhorism / thought of tho other
day, and couldn't recollect since. I'll
Just jot it down for Poor Richards
almanac
But difficulty presented itself. He
could not find his pen. 1t was on the
table, and it had not fallen to the
floor. He made careful but fruitless
search through the room. Then he
tried the table again, though he rea-
soned, with that force of intellect for
which he was distinguished, that if it
was on the table he should have found
it there the first time he looked. AT
last he happened to pause before a
mirror, and saw the pen resting COM
Portable on his right ear. His obser
vations concerning this incident were
more commonplace than might have
been expected from man of his
originality; but they seemed to re-
lieve his mind. He sat down and wrote
the aphorism. 1t was: ga place for
everything and everything in its
place.
He had just finished the sentence,
when it occurred to him that there
was another thought which he had
neglected to put in black-and white.
He had intended, at various times
since the idea first crossed his mind,
to make u memorandum of it; yet,
three weeks had elapsed and it had
not been started on its journey to pos
terity. But he resolved that there
should be no further delay; and, dip
ping his pen in the ink, he wrote:
"Nevcr put off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day. Puck.

Two Bills Alike.

Young Henry Miller, of New York,
got bonanza when he was paid off
the other day. His wages were given
to him in the shape of eight new SO
bills. He put them in his pocket, and
some time afterward, when he took

covered that two of them were ex-
actly alike. The numbers of both
were the same. This gives them great
value from q collectors point OF view.
The bills were printed by the Govern
ment and issued by the Southern
National Bank of New York. The
Government number on each is r
476,321. The bank number is 1859,
and the consecutive bank number

the bills was noticed il was supposed

Do the Suns Rays Put Out Fire!

Last summer while making one of
my regular weekly excursions in
search of curious natural history spec
linens I happened upon some wood
choppers who were burning brush
One of these gentlemen being a regu-
lar reader of ''Notes for the Curious"
put the following question "Why
does the sun, shining on fire, deaden
its heat, suppress the rays and often
put it out entirely?" l had never even
heard hint of the idea before, and
was perfectly staggered. L admitted
my inability to answer the question
off hand. Returning home repaired
to the library and consulted Brew
er's Guide 10 Scientific knowledge,
where the answer is MS follows: "Be-
cause the air, being rarified by sun
shine, flows more slowly to the fire,
and, secondly, because the chemical
action of the suns rays is detrimental
to combustion. st, Louis Republic.

Gesa Berger, the well-known actor
and newspaper man, has picture in
calligraphy that has remarkable his
tory. 1t is, in size, 30x42 inches, and
is the work of Joseph Loew, the most
noted counterfeiter that the Austrian
Government ever knew.
When an application is made for n
pardon in Austria the red-tape policy
of that country compels the applicant
to address the Emperor with all his
titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about
forty titles. Loew engraved all of
these, together with his petition for a
pardon, on cherry stone
The letters were so fine that it re-
quired the aid of powerful micro
scope to decipher them. One day when
the Emperor visited the prison Loew
in person presented a cherry stone to
the Emperor, and told him what it
contained. The Emperor made an ex-
animation and was SO amazed at the
work that he gave him an uncondi-
tional pardon. Not only did he par
don him, but he gave him a position as
detective to trail down counterfeiters
Loew was a well-informed man in all
the arts and rascalities of counterfeit
ers, and in less than two years after
his pardon he ran to the earth almost
every counterfeiter in Austria, and died
few years ago covered with detective
honors. The picture, although made
fifty years ago, is in remarkable state
of preservation.
