DELAYED BY A M
Schedule of the Entire Santa Fe Sys-
tenn Deranged by a Shopper
Who Found a Bargain.

A woman's weakness for the attractions
of a bargain counter caused the delay yes
terday of a special train carrying 100 peo-
pie from Boston on a Observation-Disclosures
excursion to Old Mexico; also, she disar-
ranged the train schedule over the Santa
Fe. from Kansas City to Albuquerque, and
caused numerous strong men in the party
to swear heavily, or walk the depot plat
form in a rage.
The train reached Kansas City at 10
o'clock over the Rock Island road, and
was turned over to the Santa Fe to go out
at 1850. Some of the passengers drove up
town to look about a bit. One Of the big
dry goods houses had a particularly fine
line of new colors in dress goods tempting
ly displayed that caught one woman's eye.
The carriage was stopped and she went
in. The stock was SO large and the pretty
designs SO numerous she was kept quite
busy for a time. and when she finally COM
pleted her purchases and reached the de-
pot. it was 1910.
MY gracious, What's all this fuss
about asked the cause OF the delay, as
she tripped over the platform. her arms
loaded with bundles, and the color in her
cheeks heightened by the pleasure that
comes to a woman who mas found an arti-
Gle marked down to SO cents from 81.
Really. 1 didn't think it was such a long
time" she added.
And nobody had the heart to tell her
the walt seemed like an eternity.

fnS the OTty IOr DH"HEeH.
A horse. a rider, a defective pavement
and a fall are the familiar features of a
case which Is occupying the attention of a
jury in Judge Gates court. Charles A.
Schultz was riding on a horse near Seven
teenth and Prospect some time ago when,
as he claims, his horse fell into a hole in
the street and threw his rider several feet
over his head. The next chapter was a suit
for s.. 500 damage against the city on the
ground that he had received terrible Intern
al injuries as the result of the fall. There
are no external injuries visible.

is HE A THIEF BY HEREDITY?
Son of n State Prisoner Sent TO the
County Jail for Petty
Thievinx.

A boy named William Dickson was given
thirty days in Jail yesterday by Justice
Ebert for Stealing and carrying away
brake shoes and bolts from the Suburban
Belt Railway Company.
The complaint alleges that 500 worth of
the iron was taken. which at current prices
would be about 2,000 pounds. However, as
this is the third time Dickson has been on
trial for the same sort of an offense, and
for burglary, the Justice thought 1t is
possible that heredity and practice have
made him capable of performing just such
a feat.

HOMEMADE PLAYTHINGs.

They Are Appreciated by the Little Ones More
Highly Than Expensive Ones.
Often domestic playthings are treas
ured by little people more than expensive
trinkets, according to Household. Our
children are domestic in their tastes at
present, so I procured some pasteboard
boxes about 24x1S inches and nine inches
high and we made house and barn.
Have plenty Of old pasteboard boxes to
cut up for partitions and furniture.
We made kitchen, pantry and dining
room in one box; In the other, called the
upright, was the sitting room and bed
room. Cut the partitions to fit tight,
or they will always be tumbling down,
Cut double doors between sitting room
and bed room, and use any pretty little
scraps you may have Of silk, lace or
velvet for portierres. The pink and
green papers In which so many packages
come wrapped were cut In fancy pat
terms for carpets, which let the white Of
the bottom Of the box show through for
the pattern. They also make pretty COW
orings for the tables and beds.
The chairs, tables, beds, ETC., are cut
from pasteboard, more or less fancy, ac-
cording TO the skill of the artist
Then we cut family Of paper dolls to
inhabit the house, clothing them from
some Of the bright paper.
Another box has been made into a
barn, with pasteboard stalls, managers
and stanchions, being divided into COM
partments for horses and cattle, with a
place between for hay, and hay Is rep
resented by very thin little papers. The
horses, cows and calves are made of
pasteboard, and are fed regularly on pa
per ratlons; the cover to the box is set
one side for a barnyard, in one corner
Of which are the tank and windmill
made also Of pasteboard; the pitChforks,
shOvels, hammers, ETC., are made of stiff
pasteboard.
A small shoe box, with pasteboard

the trail, and was accustomed to the
scaling Of perllOus places. Untiringly
he followed the outfit until the third
night when his knowledge Of the cOun-
try assured him that II the guide intend
ed mischief 1t would be attempted here.
The country was so wild and broken that
it would be impossible to trace one who
was at all familiar with the labyrinthine
passes; and there were gulches and dark
crannies on every side in which booty,
and even horses, could be safely hidden
away.
AS 1t grew dark the boy crept up closer
until he was almost within the limits Of
the camp. There he waited, silent, mo-
tionless, Vigilant, as though he might be
part of the dark soil against which he
Ipressed.
He saw the ruddy-faCed man enter his
tent, and the guide and the carriers wrap
themselves in their blankets and prepare
for sleep. One, two, three, four hours
passed, at the end Of which he saw dark
shadow gliding stealthily toward the
horses, and he knew that his surmise
had been correct, and the time had come
for action.
The ruddy-faCed man was dreaming Of
little girl at home, when he felt a light
touch upon his face. He murmured eel

his lips; but instead came a gutteral

"Who are your" he demanded, with
out raising his voice.
"No matter dat" impatiently; "hOrse

The man put on hat and boots hur-
riedly, and he sprang from the tent
Five minutes later he returned chuck

"The fellows too scared to ever think
of coming back" he said; "but reckon
we can find our way over the trail just

called, sharply:

His Ideas ON Pollteness.

From Truth
A California school teacher writes as
follows:
"The school law requiring that morals
and manners be taught in the public
schools, had my boys write hundred
lines on politeness-partly as punish
ment, and partly to ascertain what stock
of that rare commodity they had on
hand. The result was not altogether dis
couraging, as the following extracts from
the written papers amply testify.
POLITENESS.
Polite is to play fair game.
Polite is to talk kind to every person.
Polite is to say "Hullo" to people when
we see them, and Ware did you come
from?" and "Do you want anything?'
and Excuse me-" who is it?"
Polite is to lift your hat.
Polite is not to take a big chew.
Polite is to pass the food that is on the
table to the person by.
You should not talk when you are
chewing the food you are eating.
You must not sing in the table.
You must not cry on the table.
You must not lay on the table.
You must not look mad when you are
eating.
You must not be growing at every
thing what there is.
You must not sleep on the table
Polite is not to lay on one side OF
the chair.
Polite is, you must not indifere.
It is more better good not to indifere
with the girls, they always are telling.
You must comb your hairs wen you go
to eat.
You must not walk and hit your feet
down
You must not laugh in the table.
You must not sit and squeal.
Some men are more polite than others,
for some men are indecine and do not
notice any women.
Most women are polite when they see
gentleman they bow their heads and
say Good morning"
The most polite people l ever saw were
men and boys, and women and some
girls.
The savages that live in Africa have
no politeness about them, but whenever
they see anybody, they will run after
The Advocate and news., 1898-11-16

them and kill them and bring them home
and eat them.
/ would like the girls to be a little
more civil and not be so mean as TO nit
us and slap US on the back Of the neck,
for sometimes they hurt very much, for
they are liable to hit us on the back and
break our spinal columns, and then we
could not come to school and then we
would grow stupid and forget our man
ners.
Politeness is to be kind, and If anyone
says things to you that are not nice
language, you must not say anything,
but let them alone, and by-and-by they
will get tired and you will be left in
peace.
l would like to have good manners,
but they don't teach them in school any
more. Once they did, but that was a
long time ago and have forgotten most
Of them. wish they would teach them
again, for like to have good manners
and not be rude like some girls.
