The paper fell from the hands of the
half-crushed tragedian. A shrek cut the
damp air
AT last. At lastr' he cried, wild with
something akin to enthusiasm.
A friend recognized the voice and slip
ping down from the high stool at the
Ever-Ready lunch counter, FASTENED out.
He hurried across the street, where the
half-crushed tragedian leaned against a
wall.
Me friend. Me Oldest pal.' he called,
what be the natter"
AT last, at lastw exclaimed the half
crushed again, lat last they will hear
my Hamlet
Tears welled up to the eyes of his
friend. Me heart is with you" he said
but how does it happen"
And before his wondering gaze the
half-crushed held the newspaper. His
eyes fell upon the startling headlines:
AN Egg Famine in Kansas"
And we are booked from one end of
the state to the other sobbed the half
crushed, choking with an emotion he
could not beat back.
And there, all needless of the passing
throng they wept upon the shoulder
each of each.-Detroit Free Press.

No DenlSon Brakeman.

The coming of warm weather has
made the boys at the Katy hospital
who are convslescing,-feel like
playing jokes, etc., and the one per
petrated on we'll known Denison
passenger brakeman, who is receiving
treatment at the hospital, was too good
to-keep. So it got out. Several OF the
boys conspired to make some trouble
for the Denison man, and they sue
ceeded admirably. Several perfumed
notes, written by the boys, with a
feminine name attached, came to the
Denison man, telling him where, at a
certain time, he could meet young
lady who desired to get acquainted.
One ''date was made for Forest park,
and the Denison man showed up there
at the appointed time. There wasn't
q sweet creature in mile of the place
that looked like she wanted to see him.
so he returned to the hospital, only to
find note asking him to come to q
corner on Fifth street. He went, and
met with the same disappointment. He
kept several other "dates" with the
same result. Then the boys laughed,
and gave the joke away.-Sedalia Cap

The Katy Won.

In the United States court at Vinita
the case of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway company vs. J. b. Cald-
we'll ct al. was tried before jury,
Judge Springer sitting upon the bench,
SAYS the Denison Herald. The trial of
the case resulted ia a verdict and judg-
ment in favor of the railway company
company, and against the defendants,
for the possession of a portion of the
ground claimed by il as its station
grounds at the station of Blue Jacket,
and upon which the defendants had
erected extensive buildings.
1t appearing from evidence in this
case that the defendants had not Sc
cured the consent of the railway COM
pany to erect these buildings, but had
erected them in violation of the rights
of the railway company, it was held
that these buildings being attached to
the land, they passed to the railway
company.
The jury also rendered a verdict in
favor of the railway company, and
against the defendants, for Sci, being
the rents for the land during the time
the defendants occupied it. As re-
suit of the verdict in this case the rail-
way company not only required the
actual rental value of tie land, bat the
defendants also lost all right to the
Valuable buildings which they had
placed on the station grounds OF the
railway company, which by this YER
dict, passed to the railway company.
The railway company secured JUDI 2
ments in sixteen other cases, being
ejectment suits involving different por-
lions of it's different station grounds in
the Cherokee nation. The result OF
these suits practically puts the railway
com pany in possession of the right OF
way and station grounds in the Chero-
kee nation as claimed by it.

in on his run from the east last night
and warned his friends not to fool with
him, that he blood in his eye" and
WAS liable to explode at any minute. he
said that he had never been accused TO
being mean to honest travellers Dut
that he never had much use for the
chronic element that travels on
freight trains merely for pastime.
Shortly after we pulled out OF the oth
err end of the division 1 discovered
thrre on the train and when L qustlon-
ed them as TO where they were going
one of them became very 1mpudent: 1

standing alongside OF the track ana
when L asked MIN how he got there he
very impudently said: Il rode your

that he would not ride it any farther
and l watched him. He apparently re-
