The train started by Miss Schenck
of Babylon. Long Island, has reached
Lincoln and hundreds have responded
to it with ten cents and the four let
tiers asked. Although Miss Schenck
has asked the aid of the newspapers
of the country to- stop the chain the
little postoffice at Babylon is swamPed
with the letters in answer to the chain
started by Miss Schenck. The chain was
to end with number twenty, but the
recipients have paid no attention to
that and the increase in the Schenck
daily mail is in the ratio of geOmetri-
cal progression. Four multiplied by
four nineteen times equals, If each
letter contains ten cents, STAG, S54 ,O97,-

The amount already received is suffi-
Gent to enable the auxiliary to main-

United States army for many years.
In the meanwhile the Schencks who
live on hill in the village of Baby
lon build huge bonfire with the let
tiers received from soldier sympathiz-
ers every night, which can be seen for
miles around. The country side
knows the cause of it and smiles. As
each letter received represents ten
cents in stamps the postOffice shares
half and half with the ice auxiliary.
it is the earnest wish of
Miss Schenck that the chain may be
broken and that those receiving an
end will neither send ten cents nor
write four more letters.

and saw more fine country. and had
more fun than any two fellows who
ever came up the pike. We left the
city behind us on the r. an, along in
the forenoon. There was nothing
much to leave behind us, but the
humping strains of a street piano
and our boarding house dinner. After
the smoke of the city had disappeared
We came into the region of corn
fields, and we stayed in that region
until we came back again. For miles
and miles we passed by and through
checker boards of green and gold
There were fields of the deepest green
corn next to the gold of a wheat or
an oat field. Then We passed by wav-
ing fields of alfalfa and by fields
where the wheat had been gathered
and stacked in big stacks that looked
like knots of blonde hair on the head
of woman. And over the checker
board was stretched blue tent of the
bluest sky that ever covered a land
of plenty.
As luck would have it, two young
ladies', old acquaintance, were on the
train. or rather one of them was i'm
the train. and the other one boarded
it at a little station. This was just
the last touch to make joy complete.
At Fairmont the editor of the Fair
mont Tribune was at the train to
meet us, and we exchanged a few
joshes before we pulled out for
Strang. We visited till the latter
town was reached. About this time
we all began to feel hungry. My
roommate and I went out on a forag-
ing exploration. We could not find a
restaurant so we piled into a grocery
store where the proprietor was busily
engaged trying to wait on customers
and take care of a towjheaded kid at
the same time We began to order
what we wanted and between orders
he would chase after the kid. some
times out of the front door, and some
times out of the back door. We found
some mustard sardines for one thing,
and some soda crackers for another.
Chees, oranges, hOarhound candy and
red pop, completed the list of things
to eat. We took brown paper for
table spread and made napkins of the
same coarse stuff In the train we
overturned one of the car seats and
made table. There we spread our
feast. and I tell you right

The twenty.tirst regiment of Kan
sas volunteers that left yesterday af
ternoon over the Santa Fe for Chick
amauga was the first one to leave
Camp Leedy in style and to leave
town about on time, says the Topeka
Journal. Col. Tom Fitch gave orders
that the regiment, headed by the reg
mental band should leave camp at l
O'Clock and march to the depot. The
orders were carried out and the reg
iment marched through the streets
with the band playing. At the foot
of Fifth street the band and the Lin
coin Post drum corps stood on the
sides Of the street and played "Dixie"
Marching Through Georgia" and
other patriotic tunes The men
marched into the waiting cars and
within ten minutes of the time the
head Of the column arrived at the
depot the first section was ready to
go, as far as Col. Fitch was concerned,
but the railway officials had forgotten
one car of supplies that was side
tracked in the fair grounds and wait
of twenty minutes was caused to get
the car coupled onto the first section.
The first section of thirteen cars pulled
out at ESQ and the other two followed
20 minutes apart. The coaches used
for the men were day coaches and
Col. Fitch was determined that only
one man should be in a seat. The
horse and baggage cars were attached
to the different sections. From Kan
sas City the Burlington and the Mis-
souri, Pacific took the trains.
A telegram brings the news that
the regiment has reached its desti-
nation safely.
