DO YOU WANT A CALENDAR?


The biggest-and best-calendar ever
issued by any American railroad is now
being distributed by the Burlington
route.
1t has twelve sheets, one for each
month of the year. On each sheet is
a striking illustration of some feature
OF the ~Burlington's service or Of the
territory reached by it's lines-the gov
eminent fast mail running at full
speed; a tourist car on its way to Cali
%fornia; engine 1891, the largest pas
senger engine in the world; a library
car; a compartment sleeper: the Bur-
lington station at Omaha; a dining
car; a monster freight train; Estes
Park, Colo: the plunge bath at Hot
Springs, S. D., Yellowstone Falls. etc.
The drawings from which the pic
lures we're made are by Louis Braun
hold, of Chicago, and cost several hun
dred dollars.
The size of the calendar is 22x2S.
The dates are in big type which can
be read at a distance of so feet. For
business Offices the Burlington calen-
dar is simply invaluable.
Purchased in large quantities, the
calendars cost the Burlington route 81
cents apiece. With postage, packing,
etc, they represent an investment of
about 35 cents. Our price is 25 cents-1O
cents less than cost. Write for one;
tory, send it back and your money will
be promptly refunded.

ABOLITION OF PRISON LoCKsrEP.

80 =
To the uninitiated the lockstep is an
interesting performance. 1t originated
from the necessity of handling large
bodies of convicts as compactly as pos
sible. Each mans hands rest upon the
shoulders, while his knees fit into the
backs of the knees of the mar before
him. This necessitates a short, shut
fling step, and swaying motion. which
it is claimed seldom leaves him. For
this reason it's abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power of habit. An
other habit hard to get rid of is consti-
patton; but there is a remedy that will
cure this, as well as dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and biliousness, and that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t is a mag
n~ificent tonic for the whole system,
purifying the blood and improving the
appetite. Try it.

5. TAYLOR,


Governor of Kentucky.
The above proclamation was issued
by Governor Taylor tonight and, ac-
cording TO his oral statement at the
time of its issuance, embOd.es all he de-
sired to say concerning his position at
the present time.
The decision not to sign the Louis
vile agreement was reached by Gov
ernor Taylor a few minutes after !
o'clock this afternoon. For over two
hours he had been in conference with
fully $50 prominent republicans from
all parts of the state, including county
members of the Legislature. The meet
ing was secret in the extreme, all
those who came from the hall before
Governor Taylor himself refusing to
say anything concerning the progress
of the deliberations.
Judge George Denny presided and l..
F. Petty acted as secretary. The mem
bers of the conference, with the eXcep-
ton of Governor Taylor, gathered in
the legislative hall usually occupied
by the state house of representatives.
After the hall was filled Governor Tay-
lor entered and was greeted with a
ringing burst of cheers. The door was
then closed, and the secret proceedings
began.
rnuarrp, To ,-lpr u ; n tod RI Tho ,nnfar
ence that there were only two courses
to be pursued: First, to sign the Louis
vile agreement; second, to quietly
withdraw the troops. allow the legis-
lature to in the capitol
building in Frankfort, to call off the
session now being held in London, and
to ignore the Louisville agreement en-
tirely. Several speeches were made,
and it was soon apparent hat the SEN
timent of the gathering was strongly
in favor of the second course.
This action was decided upon at 1
o'clock, and the first information of
the decision was given to the outside
world by Governor Taylor himself. He
came rapidly through the doors, unat-
tended, and looking nervous and bag
gard. He walked hastily toward the
capitol stairway, repeating several
times to the newspaper men who stood
in the hall: Il don't sign" IL don't
sign" 81 don't sign" From the CAPT
tol he passed to the legislative build
ing, where he at once made up and
signed the following proclamation con-
vening the Legislature at Frankfort:
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1O.-The X
element recently prevailing in this
city having to some extent subsidized,
and there appearing now to be no ne
cessity for the general assembly to re-
main in session in London, I do hereby
by this proclamation anne

The Problem of Coal Supply
in Naval Attack.

1t is difficult to imagine what might
have happened If the American ely
ing Squadron" had visited the coast of
Spain. Imagine fact arriving off the
enemy's coast with Its coal bunkers
practically empty, and unable to coal
at sea. The advantage would lie with
the enemy, putting out from home
ports with bunkers we'll filled. The
programme would be, of course, first
to capture base where GOLFERS could
lie and warships have their bunkers
replenished. But the capture of such
. base might result in the loss of 9
ship. aud, even though it did not, the
csmgaign of attack would be hamper
ed by the necessity of maintaining 9
defence of the colliers, especially
against torpedo-bost attack. This
point is made doubly important since
the submarine torpedo-bost has prov
ed success. In contrast to this, i'm

Smoking Stunts the Growth
of Boys.

Whatever difference of opinion there
may be upon the sdvissbility of smok.
ing for men, there is none as to its per-
ntcious effect upon boys. 1t affects the
action of the heart and reduces the
capacity of the lungs. Young men
who arc being trained for athletics
are not permitted to smoke by their
trainers bee ause, IS they say, cit is
bad for the wind" The argument that
will appeal most forcibly to your boy
is that smoking will stunt his growth.
It has been proved that youthful smok-
ers are shorter and weigh less than
their comrades who do not smoke Gig
arettes are particularly injurious.
Nicotine, the active principle of to-
bacco, is said by chemists to be, next
to prussic acid, the most rapid fatal
poison known. The tender tissues of q
growing boy cannot absorb even very
small quantity of it without most in
furious results.-Ladies' Home Jour.
