Hauling Water 10 Yates Center.

If this drouth keeps up long enough
and if lola can only live through it
we ought to have mighty good rep
utation with railroad people At
half "A dozen points in the state where
the railroads keep engines 1.-THE water
supply has played out and water is
being hauled, whereaslat lola barely
enough water has been used to stop
the flow going over the dam. Eight
miles of water, about eighty feet wide
and from two TO twenty feet deep makes
an inexhaustible supply.
For some time now the Missouri
Pacific has been running water train
from here to supply the engines at
Yates Center. a train OF six or seven
cars with two tanks to the car plies
regularly back and forth. And the
road undoubtedly wishes it could ar
range some way to keep all those dry
engines here. The time may come
when Iola's fine water supply will be n
vital factor in getting things for us,

Good Advice

The following advice headed Don Z
Get Scared appeared in Jones ad in
Sundays Kansas City Star, 1t is So
unique an article to appear in an ad-
vertisement and contains such timely
and wholesome advice that it is re-
printed in full. Don't worry about
this hot weather. 1t can't last for
ever. Keep your head up. Keep
busy, in gentle way. II your collar
wants to wilt, let it wilt-worrying
won't save it. After it willis, take it
off. Don't go into half-panic be-
cause il doesn't rain. That will not
make it rain, but it will make you
worse of. Keep going, Keep doing
Just little better every day. Keep
your nerve. Kansas and Missouri
will yet finish strong Don't be "a
pessimist- pessimism is poison.
Smile. Tell joke. Don't speculate.
Save little. Work. Smile some
more. Laugh If you get half achance.
Don't worry. There's no need of it,.
Worrying never yet built railroad,
never made city, never grew corn,
never fattened cattle, never did a
thing except destroy. Prosperity Is
abroad in the land. The balance of
trade is simply bending its back as it
leans in Americas favor, and de-
lightful fall season is just around the
corner. Don't worry. Don't over
work Don't underworld. Just move
along in steady, good natured, con
fident manner and you'll see every
thing turn up just right, in just the
right place, at just the right time"

teenth gusher at Beaumont, Texas, on
Monday. Tho strike was made about
4 o'clock in the afternoon and is con-
sidered good one. The st. Louis

say of it: "The Beatty oil company
brought in the sixteenth gusher in the
Beaumont fields this afternoon about
4 o'clock. The drill passed into the
sand and was withdrawn with
out permitting the we'll to flow by

TRAMP's ESCAPE.
Most RemarIsabte Thihe ThAt l1as
Occurred in an EnEineer's Twen-
~ Years Expo rience,

John Smith, well-knrvn Illinois
Central passenger engineer, relates a
remarkable story about man whom
he found asleep on the ties of q rail-
road track few nights age,
Mr.. Smith, was bringing into Chi
cago the Fish special, occupied by Pres
dent Stuyvesant Fish and other Off
cals of the road, returning from gem
eral inspection of the line, when, about
mile north of Ashkum, he saw dim
y outlined some unknown object, app
parently sitting on the rails. The
engineer supposed it was man, and
at once applied the emergency brake,
Gays the Chicago Tribune.
The engine had nearly passed the
object when it stopped. Descending
from the cab, Mr.. Smith found man
soundly sleeping. He was sitting
with his back to the rails, and so close
to them that bis head would have
struck the oil caps of the engine Re
arisen.
The noise made by the approaching
locomotive had not awakened the man,
and he was not aware of his danger
until the engineer grasped his shoul-
der and roughly shook him.
"Let me alone. 'Tain't time to get
up" he protested, drowsily.
Had the man raised his heaI an inch
when the engine approached he would
have been killed.
1t was the most remarkable thing
that has occurred during the en-
gineer's % years experience.
Engineer Smith the next night ran
over and killed an unknown colored
man at Chebanse, the second station
from Ashlum. The colorcd man ac-
cidentally stepped in front of the To-
comotive.
