A Question Of Import.

He was an ex-member OF The
United States army, and was
naturally proud of it. His expert
ences during the civil war were
many and formed the staple Of his
conversation not only when he had
guests, but In the bosom OF his
family. AS time went on, his ad-
ventures grew in Importance and
magnitude and there came to be a
pronounced belief among friends
that his imaginative powers were
becoming by no means impaired by
advancing years. Most appreci-
ative of all his listeners was his
youngest son, who night after
night delighted to Chamber upon
his fathers knee, with the never
varying request OF "Pdpa, tell us
some more about what You did in
the war" And he was always
ready to tell the boy something
more; and as the narrative grew in
numb er and the parental feats in
creased in valOr, the boy grew
wide.eyed and proud to think o!
the warrior-like qualities of his
father, until one night, when the
story was told, the child innocent
ly said. "But, daddy dear, couldn't

a Bright Boy.

Robbie Murden, years old, of Ko-
.komo, Ind, has built toy train, which
operates on a circular track covering
an acre Of ground. The engine, in
appearance and form, conforms to the
modern railway locomotive, with whis-
tie, hell and every necessary attach
5ment. The train is propelled by the
little boy, who sits in the cab, with
his feet on pedals similar to those used
in propelling bicycles. The small
amount Of power required to operate
the train is surprising, the little fell
low carrying four passengers around
the track with ease. Robbie is earning
"a good salary in the passenger traffic,
charging a penny a trip. The depot
is provided with ticket Office, waiting
room and all modern conveniences.-
