WIEN BABY WAS DEAD.


When baby was dead,
And the golden rays of sunlight crept
Into the quiet room, across the bed
Where he SO gently, sweetly slept
1t seemed so strange not to hear him coo,
And catch at the light-like he used to do
When baby was dead,
And mothers tear-scorched lips reached
down
To kiss the face, the eyes, the head.
And smooth the folds in the little night
gown, \
1 would have bartered my soul to hear him
COO,
And reach up his arms-like he used to dol
When baby was dead,
All, my Godl what a moan was wrung
From a broken heart as heavy as lead
From lips where a baby song lately hung;
Ears strained to catch the tiny, soft COO,
And hear him laugh out-like he used to
dol
When baby was dead,
1 could see no Joy in the air of gloom
Hope into outer darkness fledi
When God spoke soft through the desc
late room
A promise, some day we'd hear him COO,
And see him reach up-like he used to do

Two Topeka Train Crews Don't Want to

The two train crews which run on the
Santa Fe line between Topeka and ST.
Joe are hoping that when the division
superintendent, Mr.. G. T. Mcclellan, re-
turns he will arrange the runs SO that
each crew may double back Immediately
upon arrival in ST. Joe. The recent
change in the time table would make
this possible.
The crew of the train which leaves
here at 4:40 p n. is composed of ]. H.
Griffith, conductor; Charlie Horn, brake
man; p T. Collins, engineer; Ed Gordon,
baggAgeman, and Edgar Powell, fire.
man. Their train arrives in St. Joe at
1880 p. N. and could easily double back
the same night arriving in Topeka at
Ills.
This would give them until the next
afternoon at home, and as the majority
OF both crews are men with families they
would appreciate the change
The men who leave Topeka at 5 a. m.
and could arrive returning at 10:45 the
same day are Henry Griffin, conductor;
w. c. Comstock, brakeman, who is now
IN sick leave and his place being taken
by T. L. Libby; c. E. Page, engineer; E.
Taft baggageman, and Nels Lyndon
fireman. 1t is said that they also would
appreciate the change which would en-
able them to be in Topeka better hours
