c. Cooper takes Everett Darneille's
place as express messenger on the
MISUNDERSTANDING run.
Business seems to be on the rush in
all departments. Perhaps we'll have
better service if business improves
much more.
i. R. Shirley, of the bridge gang,

From the amount Of baggage being
transferred on the Santa Fe business
appears to be getting heavy. The
travelling men are coming in and pass

accounts for 1t.
The mayor Of Wellington on Satur-
day last received the following COM
munication from General Superin-
tendent Nudge of the Santa Fe, in
reply to letter in reference to the
train service on the southern division
of the road: when the present time
card was made We were pressed to
reduce our train service expense, on
account of extremely light earnings.
Our passenger trains out of yelling
ton seemed to be doing no business,
and we assumed that most Of the
passenger business was going by the
Rock Island, and it seemed useless to
keep up the expense when the trains
were not used by the people. As |
have stated heretofore, it is our desire
to do everything for Wellington that
we can consistently, and as the people
seem to feel that this train will be an
accommodation for them, when we
make new time card we will at least
arrange train service so as to have
a connection with both the morning
and evening train at Mulvane. To

The new rules aud regulations in
reference to time service which 90
into effect on the Santa Fe June LIST,
are OF much importance to the travel
ing public. Their introduction prac-
tically means that collisions and all
other accidents due to differences 10
time will in the future be unknown
on the Santa Fe. Heretofore the in.
spectiOn OF watches Of company en-
ployes has been 10 charge of local
inspectors, and no attention given to
the grade Of watch carried. Varia-
tions In time have resulted from the
imperfect system, and as a natural
consequence accidents have at times
occurred, las on all other roads. By the
perfectness OF the new system all
such difficulties are obvlated. A gen.
eral inspector, who is thoroughly &C
quainted with the work, has charge
of the inspection over the entire
system. The highest grade Of watch
manufactured is designated es the
standard, and all employees engaged
in the handling Of trains are required
to carry such timepiece. The max
imum variation permitted is thirty
seconds per week, and any watch
having a greater variation will be
considered unreliable and must be
replaced. AS an additional prevent
alive Of any variance in time, time
signals will be sent out from this city
to all division points at a stated hour
each day.-Topeka Journal.

TURNING THE TABLE.

An Illinois sheriff was noted for his
activity in looking up unlicensed ped
oilers. Taking his walk abroad one
day, he came across an old fellow who
he at once concluded was an illegal
trader, and inquired if he had got any
thing to sell.
Have | got anything to sell,
squire?" was the response. Guess
| have got backing that will make
them old cowhide boots OF yourn
shine so that you can shave in them.
Got raZors, too, an article you want,
| should say by the look of your
beard. Got Balm of Columbia, too,
only dollar Il bottle, good for the
hair and assisting poor human ma
ture.h
The sheriff bought a bottle of Balm
of Columbia, and then desired to see
Yankees license for peddling.
The document was produced, eX-
amined, and pronounced genuine, and
handed back to the old man.
II don't know now that | care for
this stuff" said the disappointed Of
fetal. What will you give tor it"
"Wa'al," answered the peddler, Il
don't want it squire; but seeing it's
you, I'll give you thirty sev9n cents
for it,"
The sheriff passed him the bottle
and pocketed the money, when the
peddler said:
II say, guess have something to
ask you now. Have you COL ped
dler'S license about your"
No" said the sheriff, II haven {
any use for one myself"
"Wa'al, guess we will see about
that pretty soon." replied The Yam
kee. IF understand the law, sher'
if, it's clear case that you've been
trading and peddling Balm of Colum
bia on the highway, and l shall IN

Thus he turned the tables, and the
sheriff was duly fined for peddline
without a license.

And he shuns the town ana the naughty frOwn

But he bids the vine with her tendrils Irvine

And he adds graft, with Il gardeners craft,

He sees his oxen fed;
Or he shears his flock, or he brews stock
or his rustic nectar mead.
And when autumn at length, in his manly

Has raisedhhis fruit-crowned head,
He plucks the pear with its flavor rare,
And the grape with its clusters red.
With his knee on the sod he thanks his God
For His merces and His favors free:
And he lays him along while he lists the song
or the thrush in the old oak tree,
While the waters glide with the ripping tide,
And the zephyrs softly creep
Ger the quivering leaves midst the murmur-
ing trees,
And lull the senses to sleep.
But when laundering Jove, from his stores

Sends wintery SHOWS and rain,
And rock. and wood, and field, and flood
Lay bound in his icy chain,
With many hound, in the woods around,
He hunts the grizzly boar;
And ere daylight fade his cleaning blade
Is red with the monsters gore.
When the sun has set he spreads his net.
And the partridge futtering, dies;
He takes the hare in his crafty snare,
And the crane, goodly prize.

and before him is placed a set of
blocks, on which are painted in CAPT

thosewhich children play within every

they are used in precisely the same
way as if the monkey was Il young

There is one professor for each
monkey and the creature is taught by
means of the blocks to spell certain
words. If the word is fruit, " for eX-

learned to arrange the blocks so as to
