Some bold robbers held up Mis-
souri, Pacific train, seven miles from
Kansas City on Saturday night, de-
tached the express car from the
train and after making the engineer
pull out with it and taking it a mile
from the tram, and used an explo-
siye on the safe, not only blowing II
open, but tearing the car all to pie
ces. The contents of the safe was
carried off, how much the Of
dcials will not tell. The robbers had
smashed the telegraph instruments
at the little station where they got
on and where they left the coaches
and there was no way to communi-
cate with the officers before they
completed the job and rode of, per
haps back to Kansas City treating
some of the officers with the money
they stole from the express com
pany before the news reached that
city.

We saw our friend j. Il, Floyd, at

Cling along toward town with a
heavy grip sack, We were told by
him that he was on the jury this
week at Boston, and the remainder
OF his conversation could only be
repeated in dashes, Floyd lays all
the blame Of the location Of the
court house at Boston on one soil
tary man aud the reporter did not
feel inclined to argue the question
of the location for the court house
was snatched away from here as in
a dream, and we fear 1t will be a

A Belated Train.

1t was noised over the city yeSter-
day that a train of Texas soldiers
bound for San Antonio would pass
through here at an early hour in
the evening, and last night by Z
o'clock, the union depot was a jam
of people gathered to see the sol
diers. 1t was soon bulletined that
the train was delayed and would
not arrive here before l a. m. and
the crowd dispersed, not caring to
remain out of bed that long to see
a lot of soldiers who had not smelled
the enemy's powder during the war
What the people want here is to see
a real, sure enough hero, one like
Hobson, Schley, Roosevelt, Dewey,
or that old gray-bearded Roman,
Gen. Wheeler. You would see beds
deserted and long watches kept by
us to see any of the above soldiers,
and between a bed and a long
watch, none other need apply.

eat things which we're never intend

PART II.
Nevertheless, that night, after her
father had gone to bed, Salomy Jane
sat by the open window of the sitting
room in an apparent attitude of languid
contemplation, but alert and intent of
eye and ear. 1t was fine moonlit
night Two pines near the door-son-
tary pickets of the serried ranks of dis
tant forest-cast long shadows like
paths to the cottage, and sighed their
spiced breath in the windows. For
there was no frivolity of vine or flower
round SalOrny James bower. The clear
ing was too recent, the life, too Dracti-
cal for vanities like these. But the
moon added a vague elusiveness to
everything, softened the rigid outlines
of the sheds, gave shadows to the lid
less windows, and touched with merci-
full indirectness the hideous debris of
burnt vegetation before the door. Even
Salomy Jane was affected by il and ex-
hailed something between a sigh and a
yawn with the breath of the pines.
Then she suddenly sat upright.
Her quick ear had caught a faint
click, click in the direction of the
wood; her quicker instinct and rustic
training enabled her TO determine that

Hon. Henry Stevenson Washburn was
born in Providence, r. l., in 1913, but he
passed his boyhood in Kingston. Mass.
He comes from good old Puritan-Pil-
grim stock His early education was
liberal For Is years following 1913 he
was engaged in the manufacture Of
wire at Worcester, Mass. In 1871 and
1872 he represented a ward of Boston
in the house of representatives, and in
1873 and 1874 was member of the state
senate. He was president of the Union
mutual life insurance company of Bos-
ton for some time, but in 1876 he re-
signed and went abroad in behalf of
the company to investigate the work
ings of life, accident and kindred forms
of insurance in Europe. spending sew

During his long and busy life Mr..
Washburn has found pleasure in his
hours of leisure in cultivating his liter
airy tastes, especially in the composition
of verse. His subjects have been varied
in their selection. They are pre-emi-
nently poems of the heart. For many
years Mr. Washburn's poems have ap-
peared occasionally in leading religious
and secular publications. A volume of
them was published in 1886.
Mr.. Washburn is now living at the
delightful suburban home of his daugh-
ter in Boston. His pen is still fluent
and busy. Worcester has done much TO
