him at Las Vegas, during the
month Of May, 1888 head of cat

On June 10th reduced rate for
harvest hands will be inaugurated
by the western lines. The rate
will be at least one and one-half
cent per mile, and possibly before
the reduction goes into effect the
passenger men will agree on rate
of one cent. Hundreds of harvest
hands are expected to be carried
over Kansas in the wake OF the
harvest this year. The Santa Fe
suggested this rate and is credited
with the initiative in this direction.
The tramp tariff on the Santa
Fe is becoming truly equal to the
capacity Of the trucks, blind bag
gage and side door Pullmans. The
same story is told by all of the
the dusty travelers-that they are
going to the harvest fields of Kan
sas, but unless the trainmen take
pains to rouse them in time they
are sure to 60 past the harvest
fields. The trainmen all through
Kansas are generally troubled by the
spring moving Of tramps. There
is no remedy as long as the pleasant
weather continues.

Although having its inception at
La Junta it is not intended that the
membership be restricted to this
point and immediate vicinity. the
purpose being rather to recruit a
large proportion from the neigh
boring towns and farming COM
munities, to the end that when re-
cruited to its full limit the company
shall be representative OF the entire
lower valley.
1t is essential that such be the
case, for where so many similar
organizations in the state at large
are clamoring for admission under
the second call, a united effort TAX
ing expression in a single repre-
sentative organization will be given
recognition where independent
companies, confined to particular
localities would fail.
In view OF this fact squads are
now being recruited in different
localities and neighboring towns,
and men have been detailed to get
them started in the essentials OF
military drill. Other localities will
be rapidly added. The officers OF
the company are all experienced
men and will spare no effort to
make the organization a credit to
the valley and state.

Anered yictim Of Hxpnotism

A woman of New Jersey has been the
victim of new venture in the business
of hypnotism. When alone in the house
she was visited by woman who looked
like gypsy, who came in, sat down,
and with few motions hypnotized her
hostess. When the latter was COM
pletely under control, though perfect
ly conscious of what she was doing,
she was influenced by her visitor to
hand over to her in all apparent willing
ness and of her own accord nearly all
the portable articles of value in the
house, including s275 in money. As
the goods were freely given, the woman
has no redress and must take the con-
sequences of what she says she was I'M
able to help.

Making Money.

'In war time said man of ma
ture years, "there are always unusual
chances that are taken advantage of by
n1en of foresight to make money. This
reminds me of what Josh Billings said,
that if our foresight was as good as our
hindsight we'd all be rich, orwords to
that effect.
"At the outbreak Of the civil war in
this country there were long-headed
nlen who stored away manufactured
cotton goods, bleached and unbleaehed
oottons, sheetings and so on. As the
wsr went on, what with the eurtailment
81 production and the blockade Of
southern ports, the price of cotton soar
ed skyward, and manufactured cotton
goods increased in value corresponding
~. Most men peddled out their hold
fngs as the price rose, but some held on
and got for their goods six or eight or
ten times what they paid for them.
There has been no such money as
that made in this war as yet, and /
don't suppose there's likely to be, but
Il would be easy 10 pick out things that
nave risen greatly in Alue and that a
man might easily have made q fortune
on, il he'd known what was going 10
happen. Suppose he'd have bought
all the bunting there was, for instance,
or taken a fall out VI sulphur, or put
away few hundred eases of Spanish
olives. He'd have found money in all
these things and in various others But
then man can find money in time
Of peace, too, if he knows how to
look"

While aboard the St. Louis We met
Captain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, whom
1 had seen in New York some months
ago under very different conditions
The captain expressed his grief at the
sad turn affairs had taken, but said he
had done his best, and could do no
more.
Admiral Cervers was also on board,
and we spoke a few words TO him. The
old man is a fine, imposing figure, as
he stands yet proudly in his full uni
form, with the gold braid and several
decorations of his rank on his breast.
The full effect is somewhat marred by
the fact that his trousers are very damp
from wading ashore while escaping
from his burning and disabled ship.
But only the irreyerent would take no
tice of such things.

of the Vizcaya, and while Mr.. Hem
ment takes photographs of the great
hole in her bow, 1 sit on dismOunted

days proceedings to be forwarded to

Clara Barton'a Manner.

Miss Barton is a regular Bohemian,
said Red Cross nurse TO a representa-
tive of the New York Tribune. No
daily frequenter of little out-of-the-way
tables d'hote is a more thorough Boffe-
mian than is Miss Barton. When she
is in New York she is never happier
than when taking her meals hit or miss
somewhere = anywhere! The Odder
the place and time the better it suits
her. As to time, Miss Barton never
bothers herself. She gets things done
when she gets around to it, and if she
has planned a thing for Tuesday morn
ing, and gets it done ON Thursday after
noon, it is all right. There may be
considerable remonstrance aud fussing
on the part of those who were to do
things with her, but she is never fiut-
tered in the least by that. She Just
pursues the even tenor of her way, and
if President and "a Cabinet have to
wait while because she isn't just on
time for her appointment, well, it is
Miss Barton, and they simply wait.
The point about Miss Barton is that
she does get things done, and done
well, even if it is at her own time and
in her own way. She is often subjected
TO much criticism on this account from
the women associated with her, because
most people get nervous when they
wait for things to be put through. Miss
Barton isn't troubled with nerves, how
ever. For more than a week during
her stay in Washington she had been
intending to go out to Camp Alger to
visit the camp hospitals. Several o.
the women interested in the Red Cross
and general relief work had obtained
permission 10 60 with her. Daily they
met and sat around and waited. Miss
Barton would be heard of by telephone,
was here, was there, would meet them
in few minutes, was called to the War
Department or the Navy Department
possibly could not get out to camp to-
day, etc. After waiting some hours,
the women would gather up fans, par
asols, satchels, and, with wilted collars
and slightly ruffled feelings, 60 home,
and return to the meeting-p place next
day. After week Miss Barton got to
the camp. She had landed there on
Sunday, and none Of the other women
caught up with her. They were not
needed, for she attended to it all when
she finally got round to it. She is what
is called "happy-go-lucky in her ways,
and what some would consider fail
ing endears her greatly to the masses
of suffering men, who look on her as a
good sort of saint.
You never ask whats in name -
after you see the magic it works in =
camp hospital when the word goes
around that "Miss Barton is coming"
The men may never have seen her, bot
they know she has come for their spe-
cial benefit, and they pin their faith on
the name that good deeds have made
known the world over. Miss Barton
IAN get right down to the level Of all
her "boys," and they love her easy,
pleasant ways.
