MocKRIoeE SAVED THE DAY.
HfH transportation Feat More At
tractIve Than His Singing,

tractiVe Than HIS Singing
Whitney Mockridge, the noted tenor, was
once taking troupe OF singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns In the middle west and northwest
The troupe also included a violinist and a
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
1T. Louis, town on the Mississippi river.
From there they expected to take train for
Sedalla, a hourishing town in the interior
But to Mockridge's dismay, there was no
train which would take him to Sedalia in
time for his concert. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific railroad were sorry, but
1t could not be helped. Mockridge tele-
graphed ahead to his agent to see if the
concert could not be postponed. "Impos-
slbIe," was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency
he CROPPED down in his broadcloth and ex-
tracted roll of large, potent bills, currency
OF the realm. These he waved in the coun-
tenanees of the railroad people and demand
ed a locomotive, a special car for his troupe
and a clear track as far as Sedalia. Money
talked and he got the train and the right of
way. He telegraphed to the anxious agent:
we are coming Father Abraham, 10000
strong. Meet us at the depot with band"
The news spread through the town and
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the LIS miles between ST. Louis
and Sedalla as a hungry tramp eats piece
OF huckleberry pie. The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot was
madly enthusiastic when the train leaped
into town, and there was a crowd at the
concert. To hear the singing? Oh, no. To
see the fellow who had saved the day. with
Sedalla Us miles away.-Chicago Chronicle

OPENING AN ACCOUNT.

ga woman opening bank account for the
first time is peculiar creature" said one of
the clerks in national bank. Zone came in
a few days ago and glanced around suspi-
ciously. Then she ambled up to the window
and said
If you please, 1 want to deposit some
money

"She stepped over in a careful way, as II
she was breaking some rule or other, and, al
most in a whisper, said:
8" Is this where they deposit money!
:" Yes, ma'am. Do you wish to open an
account?
"'Oh, no. she said. I don't want to have
anything charged. just want to deposit
my money. Is this bank really safer
"She was assured that it was.
This bank is as firm as Gibraltar,
madam. You have come to the right place.
We will have to have your autograph. just
write your name right there
Oh, can't write without a stub pen.
Haven't you got stub pen and some nice
violet ink?'
''She was fitted out, and in the most care
full way imaginable she wrote out her full
post book, which she looked at in an in
quiring way. She produced her money, hung
on to it for a minute, and then handed it
in, all rolled up and tied with thread. The
receiving teller counted it in a rapid way
and threw it in with the other receipts.
:" Now she said, this amt a good bank.
You've just gone and thrown my money in
with all the rest, and you can never, pick
it out again. Take your old book and give
me my money And scratch my name off
that big autograph album. Mother said you

cisive way, as much as to say: They can't

Leucorrhna-''Whitea."

Whites"
This is disorder from which few women
escape at some period of their lives. 1t is
in the nature of nasal catarrh. In healthy
condition the lining membrane of the genital
organs secretes sufficient mucus to moistea
them, but If the mucuS membrane Is con-
gested or infamed, the secretion becomes
prOfuse, irritating and offensive. The best
results will follow the use Of our Mexican
Female Remedy as an injection, and dose
twice day for some time of that great
uterine tonic, DIR. Simmons SQuaW Vine

Menstrual Irregularities.


Puberty Is the period when menstruation
is established. IL is the time when the girl
becomes a woman, and also the time from
which many female diseases date. The
menstrual flow usually continues from three
TO six days and comes on about every
twenty eight days. The quantity exuded
varies from two to eight ounces, but the
amount consistent with the health of one
person may be excessive and weakening in
another. The function is regarded as being
regular when its effect upon the system is
favorable. The departures froI-I healthy
menStruation are numerous and should be
corrected by using DR.. Simmons SquaW
Vine Wine.

Artificial Eggs.

Every now and then one finds in the
newspaper something about artificial
eggs. 1t has been said that they are
manufactured in Chicago and various
other places. But no one can be
found who ever saw an artificial egg or
who had ever seen a man who had seen
them. Most people have considered
them as purely imaginary, but now
comes the Pittsburg Post with the as
sertion that an egg factory is to be
started at Beaver Falls, Pa, with ma
chinery which will cost a hundred and
fifty thousands dollars. We are not
told what the eggs are to be made of
or whether they will be good eggs, but
only that the shells, after being emp
tied, can be utilized in indiarubber
shoe factories, and that eggs will be so
cheap that hens will be driven out of
business. For most persons the hen
egg, which has not been too long dis
seciated from the parent, is good
enough, especially if it is a guinea-hen
egg. In England plOvers' eggs are
considered a dainty, and every bird
which is unfortunate enough to lay an
egg resembling that of the plover is
robbed to make an English holiday.
1t would be well, for the protection OF
birds, for some one to start factory il
England for the manufacture of plov.
ers' eggs. This would be a public ser
vice. When we speak of artificial eggs
it will be understood that eggs are
meant which can be eaten, and not the
fraudulent china eggs designed to foo
hens into laying when they don't wan
to.-BdltimOre SuR.

Colonel E. r. Moses, of Great Bend,
Kan, says: eve shall raise millions of
bushels of wheat this season, and there
is no telling how much corn. 1t is
looking very fine now, and we hope to
have the greatest crop in the West.
During the last two weeks we have had
over five hundred people come into that
part of the State looking for work in
the harvest fields. They came from Ne
braska, Colorado and Missouri, and
from different parts of our own State.
Every man has had job given him in
the fields, where he can earn a good
living and get good board while doing
the work. 1t looks very fine, can tell
you, for our Western farmers to be hir-
ing hands again and rushing them
along like they did in the goods days
when we had no Pops and hard times.
If we are so fortunate as to get our big
crops harvested and sold for fair prices
this fall we hope to be so we'll fixed
that there will be no calamity wall,
aad therefore no tuneful song of woe
for the Pops, but it will be well fol

RAILROAD RATE WARS. The rail
road companies in various parts of the
country are having one of their period
ical rate wars. There is not enough
traffic to keep all the lines busy, and
there is not enough regard for fair
play and honorable dealing to enable
the managers to make an equitable di-
vision of the business which offers.
Smyrna times., 1897-07-21
The Traction Engine.

At this season of the year one of the
most familiar objects met with on the
public road is a moving traction en-
gine. These monster iron horses are
continually travelling from farm to
to farm hauling behind them train
of machinery and wagons.
The presence of traction engines of
the road requires the observance of the
most careful precautions in order to
prevent mishaps by reason of affrighted
horses. In order to insure the safety
of the travelling public the law has en-
acted some special provisions which
our legal officials should see are strictly
enforced. More than once have we no.
ticed traction engines both in town and
in the country which were never at
tended according to the requirements
of the law. This is neglect on the
part of the operators of the engine,
it is negligence ON the part of the Off
GERS to prevent it. Better be too strict
in the enforcement of law and thereby
preserve the public safety, than be lax
and thereby jeopardize life and limb.

MARRIAGEABLE AGE.-The discus

"Well," he said, in desperation, at

"Why, I don't believe there can be
any iron clad rule in such matter, :"
she replied. ''Its different with differ
