Omcial Call Issued for the Western
Transportation Convention.
The official call has been issued for the
Western Transportation convention, which is

vention is the result of agitation in Ne

those states and other western localities to
reach the coast with their products at
cheaper freight rates. The plan of the con-
vention is to crystaliZe the sentiment in
favor of such road in such shape that some
steps may be taken to construct the line.
Interest in the movement has been growing
in the states concerned to such an extent
that the men behind the convention antici-
pate large attendance. Every state west
OF the Mississippi river is entitled to send
delegates TO the convention and participate
In the proceedings. The apportionment Of
the delegates is on broad plan, and II any
considerable portion Of them attend the con-
yention will be large one.

In consequence she resolved to fly to

The Date Of Their Origin Unknown, Tney
Are So Very Ancient.
If you desire TO know about the scar
city of really reliable data on tie histo-
ry of spoons, take down your handboolls
and encyclopedias and see if it doesn't
take you long while to learn anything
concerning their origin, nativity"
etc. In fact the antiquarians do not
pretend to give us anything Of value in
that line. 1t is admitted that they are
Every ancient" but just exactly how
old they are and by whom and where
they We're first used are points upon
which we are left completely in the
dark. Creighton says, Spoons must
have been n very ancient invention, for
Saxon spoon of perforated silver gilt,
ornamented with gems, was found in
grave at Sarre, Thanet."
When forks were unknown, spoons
played very important part at the ia.
BILE. Spoons of the thirteenth century,
and even later had handles terminal
ing III a knob, knot, acorn or other odd
and cumbersome devices. About the
much is said i'll English history, great
change was made in the forms of
spoons. In some of the unique patterns
the "spoon" part was divided into two
three and even four parts, and the han
die always split or twisted and turned
up instead Of down and back. Spoons
of that period were all blunt instead Of
being pointed as in the forms generally
seen at present. They continued short
and blunt down to the time Of George
|, when they were first made pointed
and had the handles turned down III
stead Of up.
About the year 1900 what were
known as opposite spoons" were intro.
duced. They were so called because
they had the figures Of the II apostles
carved upon their handles. They were
generally given by sponsors to children
at their time of baptism. The wealthy
presented the entire ~, those who could
not afford to indulge in such eXtrava
| gance giving one or more, according as
they felt able.
The most curious and remarkable
spoon in the world perhaps is "coro
nation SPOON" preserved among th'
other royal relics i'll the tower of Lon
don. The bowl is of gold and the han
die of silver The handle is split dow
I the middle and set with all kinds O
precious stones The relic is valued a
about $50, 600, or upward Of 500, 600
