The longer l gazed down the barrel
of that revolver the bigger it grew, and
it looked to me as if it was loaded with
buckshot to the muzzle. When it had
grown to about the size of Calling

1 concluded that discretion was the
better part of valor," and reached up
and turned my red light. Meanwhile
the door opened again and three more
men came in. They were masked, and
the minute l saw them knew they
were going to make an attempt to hold
up the Overland flyer. Often this train
carried large amounts of bullion and
currency east, and supposed they had
heard that there was shipment to go
through that night.
was standing with my back to the
table, and just then heard the dis
patcher say that the flyer was 80 min
utes late from the west. 1 put my hands
quietly behind me and let the right rest
on the key. l then carefully opened
the key and had just begun to speak
to the dispatcher when one of the men
suspected me and said to the leader:
"Bill, watch that little cuss. He's mon
keying with the instrument and may
give them warning"
I stopped, closed the key and was
trying to look unconcerned, when ''Bill"
said that ito stop all chances of fur
Their trouble" they would bind and gag
me. Thereupon two of the men tied
my hands in front of me, bound my
legs securely and thrust avillainously
dirty gag in my mouth. When this was
done "Bill" said: Throw him across
those blamed instruments so they will
keep quiet" They flung me upon the
table, face downwards, so that the re-
lay was just under my stomach, and of
course my weight against the armature
of the relay stopped the clicking of
the sounder. AS luck would have it,
my left hand was in such a position that
it just touched the key, and found
could move the hand slightly. So L
opened the key and pretended to be
quite little. x The leader
came over, and, giving me a good stiff /
punch in the ribs, said, with an oath:
''You keep quiet, or we'll find way to
make you." l became passive again,
and then when the men were engaged |
in earnest conversation began to tel
egraph softly to the dispatcher. The
relay being shut off by my weight,
there was no noise from the sounder,
and l sent so slowly that the key was
noiseless. OF course 1 did not know

HERE AND THERE.

There will be corn burned this
winter, but if will be largely in four
legged, portable furnaces.
1t looks as if America would be-
come not only the worlds granary
and provision storehouse, but the
worlds banker as well.
Employ the best men you can
find to help you the coming year;
a good man is cheap at any price; a
poor man is dear at any price.
Don't worry about the corn crop
this year. 1t is large enough to make
corn-cob pipes so plentiful that every
smoker may have a new one every
day.
Farming is the most independent
business known to men. Why? Be-
cause it is the only business by which
men can be fed and clothed without
assistance from elsewhere.
The more quietly cows are kept
he greater will be the flow of milk.
What grievous mistake q man makes
by starting his boy to the pasture
with the cows, with two or more dogs
following.
The reason given for rushing cot
ton to market and thus rushing the

Greatest Of All Cereals.

Corn is beyond all question the
greatest of all cereals. A given area
of corn will yield more food for man
or beast, several times over. than any
ether. One man, with his team and
tools has often made enough corn in
three months to furnish 200 men with
an abundance of bread for a whole
year. What other crop can be made
to do as much? More than two hun
dred bushels have been grown on an
acre, enough to supply bread for IS
nen one year. AS population en-
croaches upon the land, it may be-
come necessary to substitute corn fo-
other grains to large extent.-Farln

years OF its existence it has never missed
an issue. While other papers have sus-
pended or deferred publication on ac-
count of holidays, etc., THE NEWS has
never failed to appear on its regular day
Of publication. Its object has always
been in the past, as it will be in the
future, to advocate everything which it
thinks will be for the welfare Of Paris
and Bourbon county and it's people
That the people have been appreciative
Of this is shown by our constantly in
creasing subscription list and the ex-
treme hberality of our advertisers. To
merit the continuance of this patronage
will be our aim. Commencing with our
Uext issue, we will discard the patent
inside, change the style of the News to
= four page folio, and print the entire
paper at home. This will give us much
more space with which to accommodate
eur advertisers and enable us to give a
different elias of reading matter to our
subscribers. The serial story which has
been running for some time will be con-
tinued until its finish.
