Riley's Jokes on Halford.

dianapolis Journal, under an assumed
name. The first pay he ever received
for poem was suit of clothes from
the late George Harding, of the Indian
apols Herald. About 1876 Riley went
East and was welcomed by Holmes,
Whittier and Longellow. The New
England newspapers made much of his
visit, and when he returned he was a
hero.
Il can remember" said an old Jour
nal man the other day, when Riley,
with his smooth, boyish face, slender
figure, clad in sacerdotal garb, used to
come around the office and sit on my
desk and dash off nonsense verses in
that same copper-plate, microscopic,
handwriting that he uses to-day. 'Lige
Halford, now Il major In the United
States army and President Harrison 5

ned from his trip around the world in
the interest of his shoe house, the
Hamilton, Brown Co. Mr.. Rawlings
had a great trip and made 1t in an
incredible short time considering the
frequent stops for business.
He travelled over 10000 miles, stop
ping at the leading cities from few
hours to several days to talk shoes.
He started west from st. Louis, went
to San Francisco and the Hawaii Is
lands around to Australia across that
country by rail and back by the way
of the Suez Canal, taking in Paris and
London, thence home via New York.
Phinneus Fogg was not in it on the
time made by Mr.. Rawlings,
He has many incidents of his trip to
relate and brought home many beau
tiful specimens Of the handwork f
those far away people he visited,
AS business venture Mr., Rawlings
pronounces the trip a success and
thinks lie will take another such TRIP
inside of year. The house he repre-
sents is we'll pleased with the results
and expects to build a large. trade on
the foundation laid,
The sports of Chanute are some
what disappointed that he did not
bring fine race horse back from
Australia with him, or at least Kan
CARGO. Something better in that line
is expected from The next trip.
Mr.. Rawlings has developed into
one of the greatest shoe men in the
west. To an intricate knowledge OF
the business and years of experience
he ads the most indefatigable indus
try, enthusiasm and push. He has
made himself indispensable to his
house and enjoys their fullest conf
d 3ncc.
The trip he has just taken was con
ceived by him and all figured out II
it's minutia before his house knew
anything about it and It's happy re-
suits have added another feather tc

Last Tuesday Mrs. Charley Philips
was calling on Mrs. Capt. Walker,
having her two year Old child with
her. The little one was playing on
the porch at the back door, when, in
some unaccountable manner the trap
door that opens into the cistern under
the porch slipped and the child fell
headlong into the water below. Soon
there we're several women and two or
three men on the ground, all more or
less excited and no one seemed to
knew how to rescue the child.
Finally rope was secured and JON
athan Ellis happening along at just
the right time, he was lowered into
the clstern and rescued the little fell
low without much difficulty.
A physician had been hastily sum
moned by telephone and reached the
scene of the accident about the time
the child was rescued. He soon found
no particular damage had resulted
from the plunge.
1t seems very strange that this trar
door should give way by the weight
of this child when this porch all win
ter has been play ground for the
Captains little girl and the Turner
twins who just day or two before
wefe jumping the rope right over this
door.

they have been growing. We are glad

the city council might help them out
over there by taking in the eight
houses in the orchard addition that
are enjoying the benefits of the city
and paying no city taxes. With this
addition, which properly belongs to
them, they would be the second ward
in the city in population. How is
this. Mr.. Mayor and council? Can't
