God has placed in our bosom a dear
little son,
Our hearts were much cheered at the
thought.
But now he has taken him out of our
home
To US sad lesson is brought.
The Lord God hath given and taken
away,
This dear one so loved in our home;
But we bow in submission and reyer-
emily say,
The will of our Father be done.
Now father and mother and brother
so dear,
Jesus said, ''Sutfer little children to
come unto Ine;"
Look tow unto him through each
falling tear,
Great comfort is found in him con-
stantly.
Funeral services were conducted
by the writer at the home of Mr. Dea-
toms Tuesday April 20, then the little
one was placed in the Foster ceme-
terry to await until Jesus comes to
gather up his jewels.

NOT TO RECEIVE QUAIL
Agent MAXWELL of Wells Fargo Says Agent
Not Authorized to Receive Them

Agent L. S. Maxwell of the Wells Far
go company said yesterday that no agent
Of the company was authorized 10 re-
ceive any quail for shipment. The quail
that were confiscated had both ducks
and squirrels in the same box and il was
his opinion that the shippers had told the
agent from where they were shipped
tnat they contained ducks or squirrels
and did not mention that they contained
any quail. Agent Maxwell says that
an injustice has been done his company
owing 10 the fact that the impression
has been circulated by some parties in
the city that Wells-Fargo were knowing
ly violating the game laws of this state.
This he says is not true and states that
each and every agent in the state has
instructions TO familiarize himself with
the game laws and be governed accord
ingly and that any shipment presented
as quail would be absolutely refused by
mission has been given any agent to ac-
cept shipments Of quail Mr.. Maxwell
says that the only way such a shipment
could get out would De for the shipper

OF contents such a sip
way could 1t get through. He further
states that agents fearing the penalty
to violation are very careful
about suspicious shipments TO ask con-
Signor as 10 contents

the Santa Fe last Sunday. The morning

The passengers on the Santa Fe from
Kansas City were delayed an hour, it
taking them eleven hours to come here
from Kansas City, accompanied with the
risk of being on a track where a train
is running at forty-four miles an hour.
Monday morning the slow mail connec-
tions were made again, bringing the
Kansas City papers full of a lot of mat
ter from their second editions of Sunday
morning which the Eagle had printed
twenty-four hours before on it's first
page.
