people hold him in high esteem that he

in the calling, and there IS not a man

Harding is his friend and will see that
he is treated fairly and squarely at all
times. This is true Of the Missouri Pa

and that the employees Of the Cotton Belt
route felt the same way Is shown by the
pictures which reproduce the gorgeous
silver loving cup which they gave. him.
The loving cup is marvelously engraved,
bears bas-relief Of Mr.. Hardings bust,
flying Mercury and inscription of pre-
sentation. The loving cup rests on three
tiny car wheels and the whole rests on
a beautiful onyx PEDESTAL Art and
workmanship never turned out a finer
piece of work and few men in the United
States were ever honored so handsomely
by employees as Mr.. Harding was when
ne received this splendid token.

The fellow was brought back and

Paid the Fiddler.

Last Sunday night, two young fellows,
who afterwards gave their names as
VIM. Conklin and Frank Grennell OF
Shepherd, thought they would enjoy a
fast drive through Superior.st. Perhaps
they imagined that inasmuch as races
had been held there the day before, fast
driving was not against the law. But
their little sport was more expensive
than they had ever dreamed. Just as
their team, which was going east, came
near 10 Brewbaker's feed barn, they ran
into the rig of j. j. Booth, who was
driving with his daughter. Both
buggies were quite badly demolished,
but no one seriously injured The boys
spent the night in the lookup and on
Monday afternoon were taken before
Justice Durham, where after some de.
liberation, they pleaded guilty and were
fined ten dollars a piece and costs, which
amounted TO twenty.six dollars. Boys"
said Justice Durham to some who came
to the hearing, "learn lesson. 1t is
always a safe rule in driving, never
drive your horses faster than a walk >"
