Judge Hutchinson is extremely an

tain Geo. w. Barlow. of the State
Soldiers Home, that is an evidence of the
captains good nature Captain Barlow
is the undertaken at the home, aud when
one of the boys lays down the cares of
life, and hands in his checks to st. Peter,
Captain Barlow pays the last respect to
the deceased by preparing the body for
burial aud wrapping it in its martial
cloak. The greatest care is used in an
nointing the body when the shastly smile
of death has closed in upon it. when taps
has been sounded and the roll call is
made for up yonder. Captain Barlow
had laid aside his uniform and in his
shirt sleeves he was doing his solemn
duty. The blue cloth coat with shining
brass ornaments OF the deceased. was
ripped up the back and the pockets dives
ted of their contents. A plug of to-
bacco was found in one pocket. a match
box in another. Captain Barlow said the
deceased chewed the same kind of tobac-
co as he did and he carried the same
kind of a match box. Placing the ripped
coat on the PROSTATE form and poking the
ripped ends down, he also noticed that
the front button was missing, as on his
own coat. This coincidence struck the
faithful mourner as singular He did
not believe that the dead man had taken
the articles from him but he would go
and examine his own coat To his as
tonishment Captain Barlow found that he
had prepared his own coat for a shroud,
and the supposed similar articles were his
own. Believing with the poet to make a
virtue of necessity, the captain douned
the coat of the deceased ard replaced his
own tobacco and match box. The coat
was as good fit as his own and he calm
ly sang as he smoothed the ruffies in the
shroud-

a BIG HoMEsEEKER TRAVEL
Many Hundreds Pass Through st.
Louis to the Southwest.

Louis TO the southwest
Globe Democrat, April 13.
Immigrants and homesoekers to
the number of more than twelve hun
dred week, are passing through ST.
Louis to the South and middle West.
OF these an average of not less than
three hundred are direct from
Europe, and in point of classified
tion by nationalities and numbers,
the Germans, Italians and Swedes
head the list. The bulk of the travel
is from the territory east of the Miss
issippi and north of the Ohio Rivers,
though this year many Virginians are
leaving their old homes for the new
er country. Such traffic is heavier
this year than for the three preceding
years, and railroad men say there is
every reason to believe that thous
ands will have found new homes be-
fore cold weather comes again.
As many of the foreign immi-
grants leave New York they usually
come west by way of Chicago, there
turning to St. Louis as the gateway
to the Southwest. Six railroads di-
vide the traffic in the Union station.
just now the bulk Of this traffic runs
to the Southwest, Oklahoma and the
Indian Territories attracting many

attracts many and the greater mum
Der Of them pass through st. Louis.
4 majority Of the people who are
going into the Southwest are Ameri
cans, who have disposed Of high
priced lands in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan or Wisconsin and
are reinvesting their money. Twice
a month the homeseekers' excursions
through st. Louis carry over fifteen
hundred people, majority of whom
are probable buyers or occupants of
land. Since these excursions have
been in vogue this spring, the am
cunt of travel has increased steadily
and the railroads have been com
PEELED to add extra accommodations
to their trains.
The foreign immigrants come
through st. Louis in small parties,
usually from twelve to thirty in mum
Der, and are in the city only from one
train to another. Railroad men sag
they try to avoid the larger cities
when routing these parties, for they
are likely to wander and cause much
trouble. Little parties are to be seeI
