YOUNGEST STATION AGENT.
q Davis of the Frisco, Assumes the
Duties at the Age of II Years

The youngest station agent known of
in the west is Z. Davis of Wichita. He
is II years of age and is the agent for
the Frisco at New Albany.
Davis is in looks but Is years of age
but he claims he is II. For several
years he has been employed as mes
senger boy at the Santa Fe depot in
Wichita where he was quick to learn.
He easily mastered telegraphy and
showed his adaptability to railroad
work.
The good work of the young man was
noticed by Carl Gray while he was in
Wichita. When Mr.. Gray became di-
vision superintendent of the Frisco at
NeOdesha he remembered Davis and
when the vacancy occurred at New
Albany Davis was offered the place
which he accepted with as much pride
and joy as ever a man accepted the
presidency of a railroad. New Albany
is in Wilson county.

 Poor digestion also po;sons the blood, makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates and Weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart troubles is to improve the di gestion and to insure the prompt as- sanitation of food.
 This can best be done by the reg ular use after meals, of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive prep aration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive clements, in a pleasant, convenient form.
