Both the new twenty-hour myers oe- tween New York and Chicago made their Eastern trial trip into this city yesterday ahead of schedule time. The New York Central train was never behind her sched- ule. The Pennsylvania flyer was min ute or two behind at certain heavy up- grade points along the route and made up the lost minut.; going down hill.
 Chicago to New York in 19 hours and 57 minutes-three minutes ahead of the at tempted 20-hour schedule: This was the record in the fast run of the "Pennsyl- vania Special. and when the train ar rived In New York at S.35 a. m. yester- day 1t showed no more evidence of the distance consuming space than Newark local.
 The special had travelled 912 miles in the run, the highest rate of speed hay ing been attained between Philadelphia and Newark, where, for several miles, it covered the tracks at the rate of S6 miles an hour, As a result of the experiment the Pennsylvania Railroad officials say that an 1s-hour New York-Chicago train can be run with ease and 16-hour one with safety.

He gave her as a prize to the young harvester doing the greatest amount of work in specified lime Willis Rodway. young mechanic from Illinois, won, and he and Anna Woolsey were married at Pratt today.
 The Woolsey farm Is one of the largest in Pratt County. and the scarcity of har. vest workers in that section weighed heavily upon the farmers mind. His wheat grew dead ripe and there was no one to help him out. Then he devised workers his 19-year-old daughter. She was as du,iful as good looking. The men came by the score. She was given the privilege of rejecting any of the contest ants she personally disliked. and many were thus ruled out. The contest was spirited It lasted three days, during which time Rodway, working ten hours day. cu- 100 acres and wore out three good teams

A writer who gives pointers for those who propose attending the coronation tells us that "J. Pierpont ..4organ's legs are better shaped than his nose" That's hard on Pierp. for the nose plays an im- portant part in public functions. A man can hide his calves, or build them up to suit the requirements of the occasion, but he must present his nose just as it stands. He can neither cover it nor mad it. But whatever defects may at tach to Morgans proboscis there is no doubt about it being all right when 1t comes to smelling out anything that will be of financial benefit to it's owner.

The New York Sun tries to make 1t ap- pear that the King himself arranged all the details of the Choate dinner. in- cluding that by reason of which the Queen preceded him to the table. That Is a very good story. but the incident occurred in Ambassador Choate's own house, which was technically American territory, and we suspect that he fol- lowed the custom. of his country and left the King to follow in the rear or go back and sit down.
