Late Literary News.

Fourteen noted writer's were ssat by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine TO othsRan-
American Exposition 10 study the most
interesting features with a view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir ofsny
Exposition ever made, from both a ifter-
ary and an artistic standpoint. To%Mr.
Dooley" was committed the case Of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston to give q bird's-eye view Of the
Exposition In his own most delightful
style. Albert Shawand Nicholas Murray
Butler studied thevalue of the Exposition
and It's educational influence. Charles
Y. Turner, TO whom was committed the
color-scheme of the Pam American, ex-
plains the methods by which he has pro-
duced such marvellous results. Arthur
Brisbane, in his own Incompatible way,
takes the Incubator Baby and Niagara
Falls for his subject. Director General
Buchanan contributes very interesting
paper on the organization of the Exposi-
ton. Prof. Pupin, Col. David Porter
Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lavinia
Hart, Julian Hawthorn and John Brisben
Walker are among others who consider
the various phases Of the Exposition.
Under the direction Of editors Of the
Cosmopolitan iO6 photographs were pre-
pared showing evey variety Of architec-
ture and every phase Of life not neglec-
ting the midway, at the Pan American.
These are engraved and printed in a style
never surpassed even in The Cosmopol-
itan's high standard of art.
At Chicago thousands Of copies of the
Worlds Fair number were sold at one
dollar copy after the edition.-the plates
having been worn out-began to be ex-
hausted. and few copies at the price Of
five dollars-something that has never
in the history of any other Pc
riodical since printing was invented.
The Cosmopolitan 8 Pan-American P SOU
yenir will be an even finer number than
that Of the Chicago Fair. To those who
have visited the Exposition it viii recall
viyidly in days to come every feature
they have seen and those who are unable
to go there viii secure such a compre-
hensive view of its main attractions as
will be well worthy of preservation.

tempt to give a few items from
Oklahoma.
We are having nice weather ex.
cept some very windy days. We
have been blessed with good rains
recently and the large acreage OF
wheat looks very promising.
The corn crop here was very
small having been injurered by the
droutb. The fodder has been saved
for feed which seems to be scarce
in comparison with the stock to be
wintered here.
A new railroad has been built
through this part Of the country re-
ceutly, which adds greatly to the
convenience of farmers in shipping
their grain. A new town by the
name of Ingersol, five miles from
here IS growing rapidly.
Some Of the schools here opened
last Monday, and others will be q
week orltwo late as quite number
of school buildings are going up at
present A scarcity Of teachers
too, in this section of country. Wa
ges, for teachers, range from s36 to
$45, in the country.
Health is good. But little sick
ness here compared with the east
at this season Of the year.
The Press is always a welcome
visitor as we are anxious to hear
from our native State. Best wishes
to all. BELLE DAvAULT.

not So Green As he Looked.

The "train butcher" will soon be like
othelio, for the railroads are going to
abolish him. AS matter of fact, his
business has been growing beautifully
less for several years, and his disappear
ance was only a matter Of time anyhow.
The "train butcher" is sharp trader, .
most insinuating talker and wonderfully
clever in some things thatare not looked
upon with favor by those who demand
exact iustice-and change. But despite
his cleverness the strain butcher" oc-
casionaily gets bitten instead Of being
the bitter.
Old residents Of Missouri well remem-
Der the old state warrants issued during
the war. They we're dangerously like
the greenback issued by the government
and were . source ofconsiderable amuse-
ment as well as Of trouble long after they
ceased to be worth anything. One day
Vsrdant looking youth boarded
Hannibal & st. Joseph train in Central
Missouri and the ''train butcher at once
marked him an easy prey. But the pas
senger refused to purchase for a long
time, only succumbing when the
''butcher'' made tempting offer. He
bought "Life Of Jesse James" and
rendered in payment what appeared to
be $40 bill. OF course, the "butcher''
was in hurry to pocket the bill and
short change the verdant youth, so he
did not scan the bill closely. In making
change he 'shcid out" about $t6.45, and
then hurried away, carefully avoiding
the yerdant youth for several stations.
But .'Mr. Butcher soon detected the
Missouri state warrant and hurried back
to the vcrdant youth.
@Say, You gave me pony bill" said
the train boy.
SWhat is that7" asked the passenger.
"a counterfeit; spurious BILL"
II guess not" drawled the passenger.
"Pap got it in hos trade during the
war, an he's had it ever since until he
gave it to me to go down to st. Looey

a 'sWell, youIl have to make it good"
eaid the train boy
'tIs that SOP" said the passenger, aris-
ing in his seat. "Well, how about the
change you gave me? 1t was short about
$3.50. You tried to beat me and got left.
I'm willing to compromise with you.
however. III give you all your change
back except $3.50 and you give me back
the bill. Instead Of you working me for
$3.50 III just work you for that amount"
The train boy tried to bluff the passen-
ger, but it was no go, so he accepted the
eompromise. A week later passenger
stopped him and said:
am buy another Life Of Jesse James
if you1l accept this bill and give me the
right change"
The train boy started, looked at the
passenger and then smiled a siclkly smile.
He recognized not only the verdant
young man of the previous acquaintance,
but also recognized one Of the smoothest
