The Center Table.

Some one recently has spoken word
in favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be good thing
could it be restored. The very presence
of it's bright lamp, it's periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it Of
fers for the drawing up of many chairs
is silent invitation, and it SO possesses
a subtle charm that is all it's own. What
we most need in our modern social life
are informal gatherings where compan-
ionship can be enjoyed without the
preparation and the fuss attendant upon
a dinner or reception. And, as the
center table may properly be called a
promoter of just such happy homes, it
would be well were it once more given

Mr.. RUST GETS 4 LETTER.
Delayed Because Addressed to Him Under
His Chemical Name.

Delayed Because Addressed to Him Under
His Chemical Name.
AS curious letter as has been re-
ceived in Kansas City for many months
reached the postofice recently, and after
great display of learning OF the part
Ct some of the clerks it was finally de-
livered to the man for whom it was in
tended. The distributing clerk who first
got hold of the letter looked at it in
despair. It was plainly evident that the
writer Of the letter had been burning
the midnight oil in an attempt to battle
the postofice force.
The first line contained the letters
u. S. FE2O3." The letters were plain
enough, but what did they mean? The
next line began with large A, then
there was carefully executed drawing
of what had the appearance of bar
ber's comb, then a small a, and finally
a representation of a house, drawn by
one whose early education had been sad
~ neglected.
What should have been the third line
of the address was in the shape of a
more or less accurate map of Kansas
City, showing the junction of the streets
in that vicinity. The last line was an
other map, showing the boundaries of
the state of Missouri.
It was plain enough that the letter
was for some one who lived in the state
Of Missouri and in Kansas City. It did
not take great stretch of imagination
to discover that the comb and the sketch
Of house had some vague reference to
the Acoma building. So far it was easy
sailing, but who was the mysterious u.
S. FE2O3?'
After puzzling his brain for a long
time, without any good result, the clerk
took the letter to Night Clerk Garfield,
who is supposed to be able to guess all
sorts of conundrums.
81 can tell you a part of it, said he.
II can tell you that 'FE2O3' are the
chemical symbols for ferric oxide. Now
if you can find out who he is you are all
right. -
Still the distributing clerk was unable
to solve the question. He went about
asking every one what he knew about
ferric oxide. He finally encountered one
man who was more of a chemist than
the others, and he impaired to him the
information that ferric oxide in common
parlance is called trust
That is how j. S. Rust received the
letter over which his friend in Concep-
ton, No., had spent so much time

But 1t Was Very Different From What
He Had Expected.
AS the train pulled out Of Chicago a
quiet, gentlemanly looking man entered
the buffet car, and, ensconcing himself
in comfortable chair, drew out long
cigar and entered deeply into his paper.
He remained so quiet and retained his
seat so long that another passenger,
whose bearing distinctly stamped him
as commercial travelling man, one of
the kind full Of chatter and curiosity,
could no longer restrain himself. Ad
dressing the quiet gentleman, he in
'quired, Travelling east?''
Slowly removing his cigar, the gen.
tleman turned and looked at his ques-
tioner with slightly elevated eyebrows,
replying, Eyes"
"New York;"
EYES,"
"Pleasure?''
Eyes and no."
"Great place, New York. Ever been
there before?''
"No."
'*I'm going home this trip-New
York, you know
The gentleman made no reply, but
resumed his paper. After little silence
the commercial man began again.
"I'm with G. g. Co., on Broadway.
If you drop in, I'll show you over the
city,
''Thank you, it will not be neces-
saryl''
Excuse me, but might ask what
you're going to New York for?''
By this time most of the other passen.
gers were interested. The gentleman,
who was extremely annoyed at the
drummer's curiosity, laid down his pa
per and exclaimed:
: ''I'm going to New York, first, be.
cause the train is taking me there; sec.
ond, because I've got lots of money and
can afford it, and, last, because if Like
the place I intend to buy it..

Safety In Beauty.

A worldly father, after the style of:

his entrance into society.
"And, above all, avoid firtations;;

Cold Cures.

A plan is being recommended by
french physicians to cure colds by ap-
plying ice to the spine. Indeed, now
:adays the curative value of cold is being
highly spoken of, and the inf1ammatory
sore throat which used to be treated by
poultices and warmth is now said to be
easily and quickly cured by sucking ice
and keeping the patient in a low tenn
