NAME YOUR FARM.

There is one little thing which
will oniy cost a trifle, that will do
much towards adding interest to
the farm, attaching the children
more closely to it and giving to it
and to the avocation OF farming a
sort of quiet dignity that will un-
consciously mildly exalt every
member OF the family. And that
little thing is naming the farm.
Then let the owner procure letter
paper with a printed head on 1t,
such as other business and profess
sional men have, to do the family
letter writing on. The card should
also be on the envelope, and il liv-
ing on a rural delivery route, the
number of your route should be
printed. A little thing like this
will prove pleasing and profitable
advertisement. 1t will give assur-
ance that the farmer whose name
it carries is progressive, up to date
and is proud of his farm and avoca,
ton. 1t will make the delivery Of
his own mail certain and prompt,
and stranger correspondents will
never be misled by possibly indis-
tincl writing into mistaking the
name of the writer; in short, there
are many advantages in it that are
too self evident to require enumer>
alton.

Oriental Goods Exhibition.

NJ q. Alexander. the Armenian has
recently received a very beautiful line Of
oriental goods from the old country.
They consist Of table covers. piano COW
ers, sofa pillows, pure hand made silk
ladies' shawls in different colors, silk COL
lars and cuffe, tc-some very beautiful
goods never before shown in this city
They are on exhibition at the Lay Nat
tiuger store, corner 4th and Main, where
everyone is invited to call examine and
purchase.
The daily sentinel., 1902-02-20


ply of char cars, day coaches and
Pullman sleepers has been ordered
for this line and will be strictly up
to date in every particular. Late
appliances for safety and conven-
ience will be used. The Pullm n
sleepers will be marvels Of beauty.
The entireitrain will be full vesti-
buled. Dining cars will be part OF
the equipment Of the trains and
meals served a la carte, patrons
paying only for what they order.
The new line to Ell Paso is an
extension of the Liberal branch OF
the Rock Island and runs in an al
most straight line from Liberal in
the southwest corner Of Kansas to
Ell Paso, Texas, through the White
Oaks country. The scenery along
the route is beautiful and the re-
sources of the country through
which the line passes are all that
could be desired The climate of
the country is extremely healthful
aud pleasant, in fact it is the rec
ognlzed health zone of the United
States.
The distance between Chicago
md FL Paso via the Rock Island is
I,464 miles, while by the other
shortest route it is 1870 miles. The
distance between Kansas City and
FL Paso via the Rock Island is o77
miles, while by the shortest route
it is I,I2I miles. The distance be
tween Kansas city and Los Angel
IS via the Rock Island is 1850
miles, while by the other shortest
route is 1907 miles. The distance
between Omaha and Ell Paso via
the Rock Island is LOO miles,
while by the other shortest route it
i, 1870 miles. The distance be
tween Omaha and Los Angeles via
the Rock Island to Ell Paso and
connecting lines is 1912 miles,
w.lie by the other shortest route it
is 1861 miles. Thus it will be
readily seen that the Great Rock
Island will become pre- eminently
the Straight Line. the Short Line,
the Low Altitude Line between
Missouri River points and the prin-
cipal point both west, south and
southwest.

Birthday Party.


Miss Bertha Foreman had birthday
today, and it will be one long to be re-
membered by her. Last night, at the
home of her mother in the Dexter ter
race, about 35 OF her friends of this city
gathered and gave her a most delightful
surprise.
To say that Miss Bertha was surprised,
to return from a trip up town and find
the house we'll fill I'D with young people,
would be to express it mildly. She was
astonished and for a moment could only
look around the room IN wonderment.
1t was not long before the guests were
enjoying themselves at various games or
in conversation as they preferred One
feature Of the evening was in finding 81
different things on penny. Cards con
tanning list OF the various objects were
given to each guest. the card beirg ac-
companied by a one-cent piece. A great
deal of sport was derived from the game
and there was also some earnest contest.
Miss Gertrude Cartmel won the ladies'
favor, having guessed correctly 10 out OF

widdie, not one guess having been cor
rect.
There was some excellent music by
Miss Cartmel on the piano and guitar.
and some singing by the other guests
Judging from the laughter and hum Of
voices, everyone present enjoyed the
evening.
Refreshments were served about the
midnight hour. Miss Bertha received
quite large number OF gifts from those
present. which she prizes very highly.
Mrs. Ben j. Snyder is entertaining
this afternoon Informally a number Of
her lady friends.
Mrs. Samuel g. McMullin will enter

LAST SPIKE DRIVEN.

Official announcement of the
completion of the Rock Island
Short Line between Chicago, Kan
sas City and Ell Paso, Texas, has
been received. Train service will
be inaugurated on March I'd.
The opening of this new line to
Ell Paso marks an important epoch
in the history Of the Great Rock
Island Route as well as in the de
velopment Of the great southwest
territory of the United States.
Primarily the completion of this
new line to FL Paso heralds the
operation of the Short Line Route
between eastern gateways and the
as yet practically unopened terri
tory to the soutl. and the south~
west. At the same time it opens
up new and powerful Trans Con
tiuental line to the Pacific Coast.
Not only does the Rock Island ex,
tension to FL Paso secure for that
road the Short Line Route between
the east and the south and south>
west, but also the Low Altitude
Route, as the country through
which it passes is of extremely low
altitude and the maximum grade OF
the road is less than one per cent.
The construction Of this new ex
tension has been carried on in the
latest and most practical manner.
Improved and powerful machinery,
both for roadway construction and
track laying. has been employed
and the completion of the work,
commenced only short time ago,
has been perfected in the shor,e ST
time consistent with safety. The
track is laid with SO pound steel
rails and stone and steel bridges
have been constructed in place oi
the much used wooden structures
The line is built strong and SUBJ
stantial, that it will be monument
to good railroad construction as
well as beng capable to withstand
the wear and tear incident to the
heavy traffic which will necessarily
accrue to this Short Line Route.
With the Inauguration of train
service between Kansas City and
I'll Paso, the usual first class equip
ment of the Rock Island road will

leading up to the vineyards are primly
bordered with rows of fiints and posts set
up at regular intervals, to either side of
which arise tall vine props, the height
of an average man, effectually shutting
out any view there may be beyond. the
further you go the more distinctive be-
comes this feature of the country's in
dustry, vineyard succeeding vineyard
with most monotonous regularity. Even
after you have scaled the slight eminence

Is, 1t Is true, no denying the monotony
Of immediate surroundings; but If you
wish for more varied scenery, you can
leave these vlne-clad hills and turn to-
TI1y apd Maretl where woodlands
abound. with regard to the vineyards,
what strikes the eye at every step is
the extraordinary pains the peasant here
has brought to bear on his work. He is,
properly speaking, more of gardener
than a mere laborer, so great any elabo-
rate Is the care he bestows on every
detail Of the work he loves so well. Nature
herself has become subservient to him;
no trance of weeds distigures the we'll
nourished soil, which about the roots of
the vine stems looks alomst as II 1t had
been passed through sieve. But this
thoroughness has it's reward, too. for
most of these men rise to the dignity of
peasant proprietors, and occupy as such
a vastly superior position to that of the
ordinary agricultural laborer. To see
them on Sundays. on fete days. or at
the weekly market. one might take them
for well-to-do artisans, or even for MEM

Taurus contains those ever beautiful

When the grapes are ripening, and that
first touch of autumn comes slyly mas.
querading under the guise and glow OF
rich Indian summer, no pleasantel
stretch of country can be found In sunny
France than the Land of Champagne, -
with it's vineyards. villages and plctur-
esque hooks nesting amid a broad ex-
psnse of undulating hills.
Ay, of course, you make your pied-a-
terre, and Ay will at first sight charm
the heart out of you. 1t is itself pro-
tected by a sheltering vineclad HILL while
the approach from the station is made
along an avenue of magnificent chestnut
t. ees. which. in turn, give way to straight,
tall poplars making a speaking like
ness to our weIl-beloved "Hobbema."
Crossing the canal that connects the
Marine with the Rhine. you will find your
self amid long il-paved streets of quaint
and low built houses, many of which are
old enough to still display their original
Gothic architecture. A covered market

heavy with ripening grapes. Ease and
abundance would indeed seem the distin-
gushing note of this little home of vint-
ners: 1t is as though some of the spark
ling qualities that pertain to their own
particular vintage were bubbling forth
from the very soil making 'all things
hum in a quiet and decorous way!
The actual champagne vineyards do not,
of course, cover a very large area; they
include the entire neighborhood of world
famed Epernay terminating in the south
at Avize and Vertus, and stretch in the
north up to near Rheims, whence come
the goodly crops of Very and Sillery. Ay
occupies an exceptional position in the
very center OF this privileged districts its

and honeycombed with hollows and ra-
vines. thus escaping wind and frost. while
absorbing every ray of sun that may
battle the countryside.
1t is both curious and interesting to
nctc how the inhabitants. with that thrift
which seems born of the French soil have
utilized every available portion of ground
even I'm the town itself. Vines grow at
every street corner; gardens are convert
ed into miniature vineyards, and not q
