him his breakfast. a cup Of coffee and
four or five slices OF bread. He took the
first slice of the pile. lifted the corner Of

He die likewise with al the other slices.
He wouldn't eat anything and he was
nearly starved when AS old time gambler

Many times he had come upon traces
Of her which he had lost. In 1893 Arthur
Tudor who was collector in the Wichita

brought word of Teens. Teens, he said,

A stranger from out of town came &c
Ben McLean's lumber yard Monday and
said ne wanted some lumber. He was
turned over 10 Captain Hank Bennett
who read and figured on list Of things
the Brought with him. The stranger did
not utter ten words while Mr.. Bennett

the wohle bin was four hundred dollars.
Mr.. Bennett didn't know. from his silence
whether he was impressed with the prices
or not. or whether he really wanted lum-

THE STOVES STAYED WITH THEM.

THE STOVES STAYED WITH THEM.
When gasoline stoves first became popu-
lar. about twenty years ago. a travelling
man now making his headquarters in
Wichita went out into the western coun-
ties TO open a hardware store. The very
first thing he did was 70 buy a car load
Of gasoline stoves. He opened them up
with the anticipation that they would
90 like hot cakes. but there was no cal
for them. While he remained in business
the stoves stayed with him and it is said
that some of them are stin rusting on
the old townsite. the town having practic-
ally vanished.
