NO NOTION OF DYING.
A Little Story on and One
by D. S. Warren.

Dan Warren is up again, and in
town today. His brother John
said few days ago that whether a
man lived or died, during spell
of sickness, depended much on the
man being afraid he was going to do
so, or not He did not low Dan
would die on any small provocation
and the writer agreed with him.
In spite OF being in rather spare
condition Mr.. Warren was bewail-
ing the fact that he was not at Big
Cabin some weeks ago when
couple of horse thieves were al
lowed to depart unmolested by
two of the residents of the town
who recognized them. In proof
that he had had some experience,
and was not guessing at what he
would have done Mr.. Warren told
of being constable good many
years ago in Webster county, Mis-
souri,, IL miles south of Marshfeld.
HIS arrested man named Eli La
key for numbering another with a
knife, and compelled him to accom-
pany him with very little ceremo-
ny. The man was convicted and
sentenced to be hung, but made
his escape few days before the
date set for execution and was
never captured. He is thought to
be alive and livingin New Mexico.

Unexcelled Dining Service.

Railway companies are devoting
much attention to facilities for
feeding their patrons. Formerly
when Nancy "went out ridin' on
the kivered kyars" she carried in
her pocket piece of fried chicken
and lots Of that ''good old light
bread like mother used to make" !"
The question of time is SO impor-
tant that some railway lines pro-
vide cafe cars and dining cars
which are "hitched onto" the
train at convenient points and in
which passengers are served with
meals while the train is running.
For obvious reasons this kind of
service is not satisfactory to a
large majority of the travelling
public. Other railway lines have
dining stations at convenient
points suited to the time schedule
of the trains; trains stop at these
stations for a period of twenty or
twenty-five minutes. This plan
of feeding passengers is in use on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway system. In the past few
years the ''Katy" has assumed
control of the dining stations on
its line-placed them in charge OF
Mr.. f. E. Miller, one of the best
known managers in the country.
No expense has been spared to
make them the foremost of their
kind. Most delicious meals are
served at the modest cost of fifty
cents. Lunches are also served
"a la carten at the lunch counters
which are operated in connection.
On recent trip through Texas
Bob Ingersoll was SO pleased with
the katy" dining stations he an
nounced in the dining hall at
Smithville that in all his travels
he had never been served such
delightful meal outside ofhis own
domicile.

Twas a Long Time Ago.

A group of railroad men at the
Laclede hotel were discussing the
vast Improvements that have been
made in train service in recent
years. Joe Harrington, the oldest
conductor in point of service, on
the NJ, K. & T., said that while
running train between Sedalia
and Parsons some twenty years
ago passenger enquired as to
why, the train had stopped, being
out on a prairie some miles from
any settlement. Joe told him he
allowed the engineer was running
COWS off the track. The train pro-
ceeded for some miles and again
stopped. The passenger once
more enquired the cause; Joe told
him he guessed the engineer had
caught up with those cows again.
Rev. D. N. Allen, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Paul's VAL
ley, was in our city this week and
preached two excellent sermons to
large and appreciative congrega-
tions at the Presbyterian church
Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Mr.. Allen is an old-time resident
ofthis place and is held in high
esteem by a large number of our
old citizens who enjoy his &C.
quaintance. He was the first min
lister to deliver sermon in Clare
more, holding services here thir-
teen years ago, when it was moth
ing but an open prairie where our
thriving city now stands. The
congregation that greeted him
here on this visit was in strong
contrast to the one that gathered
around him in those early days Of
church work in the territory, when
he proclaimed the gospel in the
open air, and the benediction was
emphasized by the discharge of

with late fruits and berries Different
forms may be trimmed in this way, the

being most suitable. The CROWNS are
often bound round with narrow ribbon

aud if the straw is an open work, one
still narrower velvet will be threaded in
and out of it's meshes. The punches Of
