pressions by the people, which were
successfully reproduced One of those

"The people of Farnhurst would most
respectfully thank DR.. Hancker for the
exhibition. 1t did more real good than
all the medicine in the Materia Nedica.
The young laughed, the old shook, and
the babies sQuawked, and we must not
forget our kind superintendent, who
added to the enjoyment of the occasion
by his vocal rendition of several pieces

New Castle. Last, though not least
was Bring Back My Bonnie" by a
handsome young woman. in truly oper-
attic style, which was correctly repeated

NO eleLE FoR BosToNIAN.
He Visited Kansas in Early Days an,
Created Bible nOOm.

Created n Bible Boom.
In the early days of Atchison a rich
Boston man named Clanin came to
town to assist in celebrating the open
of the Central branch, says the Atchi-
son Globe. He was entertained BY
George w. Click, and the morning after
his arrival he came downstairs and
asked Mr.. Click tor a Bible before
breakfast. Mr.. Click said he would get
one, but found there was not a Bible in
the house. He slipped over to Cotton
wood Browns, supposing he would
have one, but he didn't, and then he
went to Virgie Parker's. Parker didn't
have one, either. and finally Mr.. Click
was compelled to confess to his guest
that there wasn't Bible in the neigh
borhood The late L. A. Anderson op-
Grated a Bible depository in Atchison
at that time, and used to tell how Click,
Brown and Parker slipped into his
store one morning, one after another
and bought a Bible each. II was the
morning after the Boston man inquired
for one.

THE BOoK on rHE RoYAL BLUE

THE BOOK OF THE ROYAL BLUE.
The 'Book of the Royal Blue" is
sued by the Passenger Department of
the Baltimore and Ohio r. r., has made
its initial appearance with the October
number. and is, undoubtedly, the most
creditable magazine Of its nature pub
lished. Aside from being a model ex-
ample of modern typography, it is most
interesting as to its contents. A field
for interesting literature is certainly
offered by the Baltimore and Ohio r.
r., because it is the oldest railway in
the United States; is foremost in his
torical prominence, and is rich in mag
nificent scenery. The latter especially
affords an endless scope for illustra-
tions, and the magazine has started on
its venture with all these points full in
hand.
Copies can be obtained by enclosing
four (4) cents in stamps to the Advertis-
ing Department, Baltimore and Ohio r

account. At the matinee Saturday a
double comedy bill will be presented.
