STARTED ATIAST.

Through the kind offices of L. :.
Slower, Assistant secretary of Stat e,
lola marble has been included in the
specifications for finishing the State
house at Topeka, and contractors
who bid on the work will be obliged
to furnish the stone to the amount OF
nearly thousand square feet. Part
of it will be used as flooring in the
Corridors and part as polished thing
ing iu the governors office.
This is the opening we have long
been waiting for. Mr.. .VanZant a
Topeka contractor who expects to bid
on the work was down here last sat
urday to visit our quarry, to examine
the stone and to find out the price at
which it could be obtained. He was
greatly pleased with the stone aud il
glad it is to be used on the State
House. He is sure that after it i
once introduced, as it will tie by this
contract, there will be no trouble in
finding a market for it. There will
be lot more work of the same kind
in the State House before it is COM
pieted.
There is no doubt that for all
round building purposes, and es-
pecially for sidewalk and tagging
and flooring the lola stone is the very
best in the State. Builders will find
that out after awhile, and then there
will be demand for all that can be
supplied,

THE FLORAL HALL

Work was begun Wednesday on
the first permanent building to be
erected on the lola Fair Grounds. 1t
will be known as "Floral Hall' and
will be used for the exhibition of pic
lures, fine fabrics and all such articles
as require to be especially protected
from the weather.
The building will be in the form of
a cross with equal arms all one story
high except the central section which
will be elevated sufficiently to relieve
the monotony and to admit light
from above. The frame work of the
building will be wood, and will be
covered with corrugated iron, thus
making it as nearly as possible fire
proof,
The length Of each of the arms of
the cross will be 60 feet and the width
% feet, so that the floor space will he
something over 1000 square feet
room for the display of good many
things.
The directors of the Fair located
the building Wednesday morning
near the place where the Floral Tent
stood last year. and work was COM
menced Immediately. 1t will be
pushed to completion and will be
ready for use the first day of the
Fair.
The total cost of the building Will
be in the neighborhOOd of 800 and
most of this amount has already been
raised by subscription, all of our bust
ness men, and a number of farmers
near lola having contributed quite
literally:
The erection of this building ought
to convince the most skeptical that
the managers of the lola Fair mean
business, and that they are not going
to spare any reasonable pains or ex-
pense to make the Fair this fall wor-
thy of the patronage of the people.
We hope every farmer will make ar
to spend at least one day
here, and to exhibit some of the pro-
ducts of his farm if possible.

Route to the Cemetery.
The San Francisco and San Mateo Elec
trio Railway company has put on Il funeral
car and proposes to carry the dead from
any point along it's line to any of the foui
cemeteries for $40, or 81 less than the South,
ern Pacific rates.
The funeral car created sensation along
the entire route, the first patrons of the
new venture being the Knights of Pythias
No. 81, the neN electric hearse, was side
tracked at tie cor az Of Fifth and Harrison
streets few rli...tes before noon. The
preliminary trip from the carhouse to this
place attracted II great deal of attention.
At the corner of Fifth and Harrison

by the time the undertaker's hearse arrived

800 or 900 men, women and children blocked
the street. They surged curiously around

silent passenger. When the hearse was
driven up, the crowd drew back re-
specially and left little lane for its pas.
sage up to the big sliding door in the side
Of the car. The six pallbearers who ac-
companied the hearse quickly lifted up the
coffin containing the body and slid it gently
in through the open door.
Then, with uncovered heads, they climbed
in after it and closed the funeral draped
door. The conductor rang the bell twice,
the. motorman changed his gong with
noise that seemed somehow strangely out
of place, turned on the electric current, and
the dead man started on his last journey.
Meanwhile the mourners, members of the
Pythian order, had arrived in carriages fol
lowing the hearse. They boarded an Ordi-
nary electric car that was also in waiting,
and moment later the crowd drew back
at the sound of the gong and the car fol
lowed No. 80 and its lifeless burden.
1t was hard 10 realize that the two cars
rolling rapidly along the street lined with
gaping spectators were funeral train-the
shouts of the children along the route, the
sharp changing of the gongs, and partic,
ularly the speed of the two cars, were so
totally dssimilar to the accustomed sol
emnity of such parades. People hurried TO
the windows of the houses along the line.
and a few even waved handkerchiefs, as il
it were a gala occasion of some sort AT
Thirtieth street a short stop was made to
wait for a returning car to pass, and in
minute another curious throng was push
ing and jostling around the funeral car
with the morbid eagerness that crowd al
ways possesses TO get a glimpse of coffin.
After leaving Thirtieth street the line gets
out into the open country, and with the dis
appearance of the crowds of spectators the
changing of the gong ceased. Still the
speed with which the two cars rolled along
toward the cemeteries gave an undelinable
sensation that there was something out Of
place.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE END.


The story of how portly woman
stopped and caught one horse car on
Lehigh avenue near Germantown ave.
nue., though not as amusing as the ao-
tual occurrence, has its points of inter-
est.
The driver conductor had Just let out
a woman passenger when the fieshy fe-
male appeared behind the car, wildly
gesticulating in manner calculated to
be understood for "Stop that carl" A
masculine passenger rang up two fares
on the register, but the car went on.
Then another man pulled the right bell
cord and leotured tho driver, while a
third, supposing that the lady who had
just alighted had left basket in the
car, rushed with the drivers lunch bas-
ket to the signaling fat woman, who
of course didn't know what he meant,
but just boarded the car, paid two fares
and Independently spread herself ON a
seat. -Philadelphia Record.

For the "cub of West Point" was,
like most cubs, irritable when thwarted.
And having been baked of his prey, the
deserter, and possibly chaffed by his
comrades for his profitless invasion of
Vineyards Bar, he had persuaded his
commanding officer to give him permits
sion to effect recapture. Thus it
came about that at dawn, filing along
the ridge, ON the outskirts of the fire,
his heart was gladdened by the sight of
the half breed, with his hanging ham

away on the other side of the belt of
fire, running down the hill, with an
other ragged figure at his side. The
command to "halt'' was enforced by a
single rife shot over the fugitives'
heads, but they still kept on their
fight. Then the boy officer snatched a
carbine from one of his men. A volley
rang out from the little troop-the shots
Of the privates mercifully high, those Of
the officer and sergeant leveled with
wounded pride and full of deliberate
purpose. The half breed fell, so did his
companion, and, rolling over together,
both lay still.
But between the hunters and their
fallen quarry roared the cheval de frise

to cross. The young officer hesitated,

men and left the fire to correct any ir.

1t did not, however, change contem-

never doubted and kept his memory
green in Sierran chronicles long after
Vineyards Bar had itself become a
memory.

When Josquin de Pres, chapel master to
Louis XII of France, wanted his earnings
increased, he did not straightway compose
gigantic symphony, trilogy or even
sickly sentimental ballad with an unctuous
refrain-the latter sure means to good
royalty-but he took the liberty of refresh
ing his masters memory with finished
but unambitious motel.
Josquin was an ecclesiastic as well rs
musician, and his excellent prince had long
promised him beneiice. This pledge,
however, was forgotten, and Josquin, in
couvenienced by the shortness of the king 5
memory, ventured publicly to remind him
of his word Being under command TO
compose motel for the royal chapel, he
selected part of the one hundred and nine
teenth psalm for his subject, 'Oh! think
upon thy servant as concerning thy word"
which words he set so eXquisitely and
plantively that his. master took the hint
and bestowed upon him the prelerment.
Josquin had a keen mind. With much fe-
licity he took advantage of the occasion and
composed hymn OF gratitude to the words
from the same psalm, 10 Lord, thou hast
dealt graciously with thy servant"-which
it is to be hoped his majesty appreciated.
An inappreciative wag would say that
Josquin might more appropriately have Sc.

Listen, my masters. | speak naught but truth.
From dawn to dawn they drfted on and on,
Not knowing whittier or to what dark end
Now the north froze them, now the hot south
scorched.
Some called TO God and found great comfort So;
Some CRASHED their teeth with curses, and some
laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
So sweet was breath between their foolish lips.
Day after day the same relentless sun,
Night after night the same Implying starsl
At intervals fierce lightnings tore the clouds,
Showing vast hollow spaces, and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents of the sky were loosed.
From time to time hand relaxed its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the dark
With stiied moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited, knowing what must be.
At every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutched
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
! Sliuped back into the blackness whence they
came.

| SO racked by hunger, fever, fire and wave,

The Sunny Heart.
A boon from heaven is the sunny heart
That can light those days so dreary
When the flesh is worn and weary
And so assuage the keenest smart
It may not know what the year will bring
OF gladness or of sorrow,
Nor what the near tomorrow
Athwart its sky at dawn may fling.
Yet meath the strain of grief intense,
Under all stress whatever,
The brave trust faileth never
That for each loss comes recompense.
It could not play the common scold,
Fuming, complaining, carping,
And on this one string harping
Till tuneless, dark and cold.
God made 1t for the nobler wor
OF fountains fresh unsealing
And beauties new revealing,
Though by old beaten ways they Turk.
And its bright song, with glad refrain,
Tightening the lowliest mission,
Shall nearer bring fruition
Schemes that would paradise regain!
