ADDITION TO TRAINS.
"The Meteor" and ''The Worlds Fair
Special" to the Frisco System

The route of this flyer is via our cid
line, through the Ozarks and Indian Tar
ritory to Sapula, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Creek
Chtckasaw Nations, via Denison add
Sherman, to Fort Worth and points
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman asd
the Houston & Texas Central Rail
road to Dallas and Beyond. The more
newly-coustructed portion OF the roadbed
traversed has been heavily ballasted with
rock, laid with heavy rail, and 10 egsry
way brought fully up to the standard OF
other divisions OF the Frisco System.
The train will be made up OF entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying PRiges
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pual-
man Drawing Room Sleepers and
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals a la carte will be served
at hours convenient to ths traveller.
This service will be under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose name
should be a sufficient guarantee OF careful
attention to the inner man. Just a wosd
about these cars: Toe dining room is 10
Gated 10 the forward end. The rear per-
ton OF this car is occupied by an obssr-
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks and stationery, and
a library service embracing the leadiOg
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity, and cooled by electric fans
during the summer months.

OF the success Of this train, 1t goes with
out saying that it would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-ielt wan Nad

But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may reasonably be expectto
contribute to It's success-the time is fas
the train is a "handy" one, as reg ards
hours OF arrival at ahd departure from

THE COUGARS FIGHTING.
How an Elk Won by a Solar Flexus
Blow, as Told BY a Trappsr.

The cougar does not leap upon IT'S
big game nor dropuponitou oftree-
tops, but sneaks close or lies in vast
upon the level, and goes from eever
in a straight rush like the tiger OF
the hunting leopard. 1t endearcTs,
says Outing, to seize upon the lower
throat OF shoulder with its teeth, and
to twist the quarry's head against
this purchase" in its powerful fore
arms, until the neck is broken. Fail
ing in this attempt, yet making gsod
its catch-hold, the cougar will-to
put it modestly-go in and iAish IN
any old style. 1t will usually fnish
once tooth and claw are engaged, bat
sometimes it fails, and even gets the
worst Of the encounter.
Felix Michaud, a most reliable free
trapper Of the old regime, once told
q writer for Outing that he had
watched q lion stalking a bull elk.
1t was a Teton mountain cougar Of
the big variety. 1t went from cover
in a headlong rush, but missed ~
neck stroke as the bull lunged head,
catching him at the point Of the
shoulder, and going under his belly.
Both animals we're bowled oyer in
a mixup Of hair, hoofs, claws srd
horns. In a brief struggle, as they
rolled over together the cougar Wa
thrown into the air, as If heisted By
a spring trap, by a conclusive kick
from the bulls hind leg. The mad
dened elk gained its legs and chases
its enemy of the field. An unlocked
for punch in the wind has tskeh ~
sand out Of pussy.

sons with Broken Backs.
L. A. d. Wilson, Of Minneapolis,
now lying at the city hospital via
an injured spine, which ssPMalySSa
him from his waist to his tee, 30
joined the Broken Back slah. Tks
organization, which IL psohdN ~
most unique body in the United
States, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, has now 100 members, and lis
roll is rapidly increasing. 1t was
founded last December by James W.
Patterson, a newspaper man, known
from the Pacific coast to New York
city.
Nh. Patterson has been lying ina
water bed in the County hospital, in
Chicago, six months. He received
his injury by a fall. He is paralyltd
from the fourth rib down, and his
body is encased in a plaster cast. His
mind is clear, and he has free use Of
his hands and arms. Mr.. PattersOn's
brain was teo active and healthy a
tone to permit him to lie supinely in
bed and bemoaA his fate. He fsuha
that there were several other pa
tients in the hospital who were suf-
ferlng from a similar affection. He
found out their names and the NUM-
Der of their wards from the doctors
and nurses and wrote each Of ASa
a letter. A correspondence was
started which proved interesting to
all who participated in it, and from
them the idea Of the club sprang.
At first the membership was cen
fined to hospitals in Chicago, but the
club now has members in New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland sAi
Minneapolis. The doctors heartily
indorse the plan, as they say that ~
occupation Of the minds Of their pa,
tients over the affairs Of the cluE
gives them a more cheerful spiat
and tends to prolong their lives.
The constitution and bylaws o
the club were drawn up by Mr.. Pat
terson and contains a number 0
unique features. Here are some o
them
'SThis club shall be known as n
Broken Back Club Of America.

Seed Time and Harvest,

A good time to think most seriously
of the harvest is seed time. The de-
cision you make then will determine
the value of your crops later. The
growing competition in seed selling is
al increasing temptation to unscrupu-
lous dealers to make e%xtravagant
claims for their seeds, both in price
and producing qualities. The wisest
farmers are those who are influenced
most by what experience has proven
to be good and true. Thousands of
seed sewers in all sections of the coun-
try SOW Ferry's famous seeds year
after year, and have the satisfaction
of good harvests to justify their con-
tinued faith in the Ferry firm. They
pay a few cents more at seed time,
but realize many dollars in better
crops at the harvest. The natural
consequence of this confidence is an
ever increasing business. d. NJ. Fer
~ & Co. sent out last year more seeds
than any other seed house in the
world. The 1902 catalogue of this
house is now ready, and will be found
a useful guide in selecting the choicest
seeds for the farmer, the truck gar
dener and the flower gardener. 1t is
sent free on request. Address d. M.
Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.
