would make a stand. After the war
was over this guerilla element lurked
about the town. When price was ON
the heads of Frank and Jesse James
| they rode into the town at pleasure,
conversed from their saddles with pro-
miDent citizens, disported themselves
for the edifcation of the youth, and
rode away as deliberately as a Judge
used to ride away on his circuit.
There was q strange mix-up of
population there then. There was the
seed of the boom. A man was land
millionaire in the morning and a pauper
atnlght. The sports f1Ourished openly
and above board. The mayor of the
town occasionally, to keep step with
events, rode his horse into saloons and
had drinks handed up to him while he
stood In his stirrups and his horse drank
bucket of lemonade. Gam bling bells
were on the ground floor. The doors
we're open and the rattle of chips and
roulette were heard from the streets.
A little later a panic struck the town
and it staggered like a boat in a squall.
Banks quit business without warming.
Business houses closed like CLAIMS,
Buildings were lett vacant and open,
and became tie resorts of hObOes and
beggars. There was no money in the
tow n. Nobody thought of paying bill.
Robberies were ascommon by day as by
night, notwithstanding the fact that
there wasn't much to steal
A little later, when the more civilized
element undertook to reclaim the
city, and there was an attempt at q
rivival of business, the citizens got up
an exposition. One day, after big gate

old guerrilla crowd dashed up to the
entrance, hourished a pair of pistols,
picked up the cash box with the DAVIS
revenue and rode away with it through
a street In which there were houses
and business, and there was scarcely
an effort made to overtake him.
Men settled teuds with pistols and
guns. The editor of the Republican
newspaper, an aggressive man from the
East had offended one of the "old
families by his writings. He was
standing in front of the city hall, in
the doorway of police headquarters,
when the offended citizen stood across
the street, fired and killed him.
The sound of pistol and gupshots was
more common than the sound of church
bells. When a street car left its down
town point 1t was question whether it
would reach its destiD alton without be-
ing robbed. The news of the day
com prised accounts of robberies and
hcld-ups.
Except in a few instances, where local
issues have changed the result of elec-
tions, Kansas City has always been q

Tomato Culture.

The northern tomato field presents
picture of crop growing two feet high
the southern field four to FIVE feet-that
is, some of the southern fields of early to-
matoes do, and their growing is science
The method of culture is pruning and
stalking, and the Mississippi trucker, his
wife and children are all employed in the
tomato fields and kept busy pruning too.
This method OF culture has been syste-
matically tested by the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station, but the success in the
north has not been as great as that in
the south.
In the first place, the tomatoes are
planted in rows three and one-halt feet
apart and three feet apart in the rows,
which would be close for ordinary field
work, where the plantslie on the ground.
The plants are cared for in the usual
manner until they begin to bend over
with their own weight. Then six foot
stakes rived out of pine are pushed firmly
or driven into the ground after a soften
ing rain and the plants tied closely to
them with piece of ordinary white
wrapping string ten inches long. Next
every plant is pruned, and every suckers
pulled out, leaving only single stems with
no limbs. In a short time, with rapid
growth, another tying is necessary, care
being taken to tie the fruit bunch on the
outside, SO as not to rub against the
stake. Almost constant pruning is nee
cessary.
The effect of this cultivation is to force
the crop ahead of the rest a bout six days
The tomatoes grow to large size. and
the fruit clusters make an almost contin.
uous line the height OF the stake. The
fruit is where it gets plenty of light and
air, and there is no rotting and practi-
calIy no sun scaIding. 1t is also easily
picked, no time being lost in looking for
ripe fruit.
With tomatoes bringing from So down
to So crate this method pays we'll, but
it is hardly of any practical value in the
northern tomato field for the main crop.
However, the plan has number of ad-
vantages for the home garden or patch,

Lost His BIrthmar1k,

An amusing incident took place at
The Grand Central station few weeks
ago. A portly man with clothes of for
eign cut, outlandish baggage and de-
cided German brogue bought a ticket
for western point and then bought a
sleeping berth and waited for his train
to be announced. AS soon as it was
called he got into line, occupied much
space with all his bags and bundles
and made people in front and behind
him uncomfortable. He had no sooner
reached the platform than he dropped
his baggage and freight and pushed
his way back into the waiting room,
ran up to the police officer and said
breathlessly:
Say, ! lost my birthmark."
"Your birthmark? Where was it?'
Here in my pocket in"
I'm your pocket? That's a nice place
to have one," said the officer, wishing
to humor. crazy man. How did it
look?"
"Red-fool-like all birthmark. l
can without it not in the sleep wagon
co." and he rushed to the ticket win
DOW, where they knew that the Ger
man meant berth check when he said
birthmark, and the matter was settled
to his satisfaction. The crowds had
gone through the door, and it was near.

Some of the Difficulties to be Over.
come in Laying the Pacific Cable.

In view of the constant activity in
Atlantic cables which has resulted in a
new cable about every two years since
the first successful cable of 1866, it stands
TO reason that the difficulties offered by
the Pacific Ocean must be very great for
the nineteenth century to reach its close
without definite scheme for spanning
the Pacific by telegraph having been
adopted. The difficulties may be
summed up in few words: First, the
great cost of a complete system ofca bles;
second, the extreme depth of water
known to exist in certain parts OF the
Pacific and feared in Others; third, the
long distances between landing-points !;
and fourth, the lack of intermediate
points having an active trade. The es
timated cost Of the British Pacific cable,
for single cable connecting Vancouver
with Australia and New Zealand. is
placed at about 100000, including
two repairing-ships and sum of $175,-
900 for maintenance OF the cables for six
months. The president of one OF the
cable companies of New York estimates
the total capital cost OF cable to Japan,
Australia, and The Philippines via Hawaii
at $12,000,000, and the cost of main
tenance. inducing two repairing ships.
and OF operating expenses, at $500, 900
year. 1t is not considered that single
cable will be sufficient to insure perma.
nent communication, and any scheme
tor Pacific cable must provide eventu-
ally for duplicate cables throughout the
entire route, so that the total capital
cost OF thoroughly reliab BILE and efficient
Pacific cable system may be put down at
approximately $260OO,OOO, which
would include two repairing ships, rea.
sonable quantity of spare cable, and the
equipment of operating stations at the
various landing points.-[Froc1 "The

Just Two Ruling Styles In Street
Dress.-Jaunty BOIerOs Lend.

SIEGGI
Dress-Jaunty BOlerOs Lead.
The ruling idea for street costumes
this season is to have the appearance
of not being dressed for really winter
weather, with all the necessary warmth
supplied and so cleverly disguised that
1t Is not suspected. There are interim
ings Of channels skin and flannel in the
jaunty little bolero coats and pretty
little quilted satin jackets to wear I'M
derneath. Fur coats, unless they are
made of baby lamb and very short, are
not so enviable possession at the mo-
ment, as 1t is the outline of a pretty
figure which gives the style to win
ter costume.
1t is decidedly one thing or the other
A woman is either clad in. cloth suit
which apparently might be worn in the
balmy weather Of spring, except for
the fur trimming, or she is enveloped
In long garment which completely
covers her gown. So says the New
York Sun, from which are also cleaned
the following items of fashion:
There seem to be three grades of
cloth gowns this season. one very plain
and severely tailor made for strictly
morning wear, another with a dressy
waist and very much stitched skirt and
one OF some of the pastel tints elabo-
rately trimmed with embroidery or
cloth guipure.
IL IS the dreSsy cloth gown which is
interesting, however, and there is no
limit to the variety of styles and modes
of decoration. The cloth gown made
into complete suit, so that it is warm
enough for street wear, is decidedly
the swell thing to have. The fact NAV
bring some comfort, too. to the woman
who cannot afford an entire fur Jacket
Fur is used in most extravagant ouan-
titles, OF course, but very pretty cos
tunes are made with only a fur collar
ana feVers. One gown in castor col
oreu cloth has deep band of mink
round the skirt a wide collar and re-
Vers OF fur, which also trims the edge
OF the polonaise opening at one side

pands Of chinchilla up and down the

Two Real People.

MANY suppose "Mother Goose" to bt
an imaginary parsonage, but she was q
real woman, and her maiden name was
Elizabeth Foster. She was born in 1865
married Isaac Goose in 1893, a few years
later became member of the Old South
church of Boston, and died IN 1857, at
the age of 90 years. Her songs were
originally sung to her grandchildren.
They were first published lin 1716 by
her son .in-law, Thomas Fleet of Boston,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The MARY" that chad little lamb"
was Mary Elizabeth Sawyer, Massa-
chusetts girl; her lamb was one OF twins
forsaken by an unnatural mother. Mary
took it home and cared for it herself.
They became fast friends, and when
Mary started TO school her pet missed
her very much. So one morning it fol-
lowed her. At school she tucked it under
her desk and covered it with her shawl,
but when she went to her spelling class,
the lamb trotted after her. The children
laughed wildly, and the teacher had the
lamb removed from the room. On that
morning young student named Rawl-
ston was visitor at that school. The
Incident awakened his poetic genius, and
a few days later he handed Marv the
first three verses of the poem. He died
soon after, ignorant of the immortality
of his verses.
The lamb lived many years and met
death by the horns of an angry COW.
Mary's mother spun its wool into yarn,
from which she knit her daughter pair
of stockings. Years passed and the
stockings became yellow with age. FL
nally Mary raveledit out cut the yarn into
bits, fuffed it out, sewed it to cards, and
after writing on them verifying the gen.
uineuess of the yarn, sold them to secure
money to help save the Old South church
to Boston.
