"John, what makes you stay downtown so

wouldn't !, darling?'

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. 4 through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. g. at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at 90, with di
rect connection for Denver, arriving at II 30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. NJ, and ar
rive at St. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un-
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
willsbe traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap-
plication.

Lecture of a Novelist.

A well-known novelist delivered lecture
recently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the So
ciety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed of the best people of the
ncighborhood. After the lecture, when
people met, it was the proper thing for one
to ask the other:
"Were you at the lecturer" And the
answer in every case:
ooh, yes! was there, but I didn't hear
word. Did you hear the lecture?'
"We!l, no.! was there, but couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few days
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.
