CUTS THE RATES
Santa Fe Meets the Holiday Gut to
st. Louis.

The Santa Fe passenger department
announces that it would meet the low
holiday rates from Kansas City to St.
Louis and also give the people living
along the main line to Newton and
south of Newton to Caldwell and in
the territory south and east of the line
from Kansas City to Caldwell, the ben
eft of it. The low rates were inaugu-
rated by the Chicago & Great Western
road, and makes the rate from Kansas
City to Chicago one way. $3.50. and to
St Louis one way, s.. and round trips
respectively SIS and SO. Tickets will be
sold December 25 and 81. and January
1. with final limit to January
Under these rates the fare from To-
peka to Chicago one way will be SO
and to St. Louis 81. The reason that
the territory along and south and east
of the main line to Newton and the
southern line to Caldwell is given the
benefit of the low rate from Missouri
river points is because the Frisco road
runs through that territory and has al
ready announced that the benefit will
apply to its patrons.

been sick for week or two and confined
to the house. Boseler cabled every day to
make inquiries and finally decided on a
master stroke. He took a couple of days
off, fitted himself out like veteran hunt

He couldn't t have hit flock of barns, and
after keeping up cannonading until his
shoulder ached and his eyes were infiamed
from smoke he gave it up. Going to a
sort of guide and professional hunter in
the neighborhood, he arranged for him to
express some quail to the old man, insist
ing that they be fresh and good or he
would insist on having his money back.
''Then BoseIer wrote the boss u note. It
stated that he had shot the game after
good deal of trouble, that he was sure the
invalid would enjoy it, and that it was n
pleasure to be able to supply the seasonable
delicacy"
"That wasn't SO bad"
''But wait. Boseler was hardly back at
his desk and was not through patting
himself on the back when he received an
acknowledgment from the old man. II
simply said: Those quail so kindly shot

Cancer
Can be Cured.

1t is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small PIN
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura F.. Minis has resided at
Smithville, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of wonderful case.
She says: A small pirnple of
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflamed, and was SO
swollen, that for quite while / could
not see. The doctors said I had Cam
