the BIO REUNION.

the BIO REUNION.
The officers of the big Baxter re-
union are beginning their adver.
tisiug work and will make extraor-
binary efforts to make the reunion
of 1902, not only the largest ever
held In the West, but eclipsing all
former efforts in point of excellence
and character.
The list of speakers 10 not yet
complete, but they have the prom.
ice of more noted orators than ever
before. Mark Hanna will probably
head the list, and many statesmen
of Kansas. Missouri and the Indian
Territory have also promised to be
with us. We are assured of many
new and unique features that will
attract and entertain the general
public.
The railroads have promised low
fares and every sort of accommoda-
ton 90 that we may be assured of
an immense crowd by rail. The
new tines of the Frisco have opened
up lot of new territory, fully dou-
BILE that occupied by the old Mem
phis line. The Indian Territory
will send an immense crowd from
all points reached by the Frisco
and we are also put in direct com.
munication with Winfield, Kas., and
Springfield, Mo.
The indications all point to a
crowd fully one-fourth larger than
ever before, and the prospects, are
so favorable for crops and in
creased trade in every line of bust.
ness, we may count on what is
termed a "moneyed crowd" The
officers have assurances of large
number of state tents this year and
more complete accommodations for
the old soldiers will be made on
every line.
We believe now that all the off,
Gers are glad they did not get the
state reunion, as 1t 10 not what they
anticipated. The state reunions are
not for the rank and file or for their
families; it consists chiefly of lot
of disgruntled political past post
commanders, who want the best
hotel accommodations free of
charge and a French bill of fare.
These are the fellows who are doing
their fighting now, while the Bax-
ter reunion takes in all the old boys
who did their fighting in 81 to IS
and enjoy weeks outing in Camp
Logan with their wives and farni-
lies. The unprecedented success of
the Baxter reunions has created
more or less Jealousy in other in
situations, and the managers of the
state reunion are no exception to
the rule. Get ready for the big
Baxter reunion.

20 years Of age, but she did not voice
her surprise to Mrs. Sampson She
accepted the situation in a manner

she said TO herself:
There's nothing for people to talk
about If he isn't as old as thought
he was. I have lived in this town
too long for anyone to gossip about

Monster BivaIEs Lately Taken fron
the Niagara River Near
BumaIo. ny

A most remarkable oyster has re-
Gently been taken from Niagara river
BY two Buffalo fishermen.
The shell alone, without the meat,
weighs PIP pounds, and is two feet
eight inches across and 10 inches
broad. It contained 50 genuine
pearls says a report from that city.
That IL might be proven that his
wonderful tale was no fish story"
the oyster was placed on exhibition
for week at Buffalo saloon, where
the public was hidden to come and
see Il.
The meat was cooked and made
into a stew, which filed to the brim
two eight-quart pals. SeTenty-hTe
men PartOok Of the repast it fur
nished.
The fishermen made the find when
their net caught on a snag Of some
sort and was held fast As the water
was shallow, not more than waist
deep, one Of them jumped from the
boat to investigate and found the net
attached to what seemed q big rock.
It was covered with a white sub
stance resembling lime, and its Pc
culiar appearance induced the fisher
men to take It ashore with them
There, when il was washed on, they
discovered, to their amazement, that
they had a mammoth oyster.

Miss OOane's
Mea1er
BY J. (. HARBOUR,


miss SEMIRA DOANE was out in
IN her front yard counting her
Shirley peoples and admiring their
almost Infinite variety.
NO two Of them seem to be Of ex-
actly the same tint, and I never had
such a lot Of them out at one time
before" said Miss Semira- She loved
flowers and nearly every foot of her
small front yard was laid out in
beds and mounds. There was not a
weed to be seen, and her plants
looked thrifty and bore evidence Of
care. The little white house back
Of the flower garden had plants in
the two front windows, and climbing
vines completely covered the small,
green lattice-work porch over the
plants were Of the Old-fashioned va
rieties. Miss Semira did not care for
floral novelties" She liked her
fOur-O'cIOclzs and ragged robins and
lady-in-the-green and bleeding heart
better than any Others" she had
ever seen.
Miss Semira was so small and
fragile looking with such delicately
tinted pink cheeks and such fluffy
yellow hair that she looked quite
like q over herself as she moved
about in her little garden in blue
lawn dress with little white flowers
in it, and her Iace-trimmed snowy
white apron in which there was
neither spot nor wrinkle She was
STOPPING over picking a dead leaf or
two from one Of her geraniums
when a shrill, rasping voice startled
her by saying:
How nice your flowers do look,
Miss S'mira; an how sweet they
smell. I can smell them clean over
to my house when it's still or when
the wind is BLOWN in that direction.
You aIlus have such good luck with
'em. Flowers grow better for some
folks than for others"
Miss semira looked up and saw
tall, gaunt woman in a chocolate
colored calico dress and green and
white checked gingham apron stand
ing at her gate. A red and white
tennis cap Perched on one side of
her iron-gray head gave the woman
a grotesque- look.

Miss Semira. "Come in, won't yOu?"

knowledge even to herself how much
she valued his presence when he had
been her "meaier" for three months.
But she found herself studying his
tastes and cooking the dishes she knew
he liked. She found herself also put
ting a red ribbon bow in her hair near
" every day after he had casually re-
marked that red was his.favorite color
and that he liked to see the little bow
Of red in her hair. She found herself
watching for his coming and he did
not know that she often stood behind
the lattice work Of her little porch
watching him out Of sight. Nor did she
know what his thoughts were as he
walked away. He did not know how
tumultously her heart throbbed one
evening at the tea table when he said
as he slowly and carefully folded his
napkin back intOits original creases:
''Well, Miss Semira, think that I
must tell you that I have decided to
make a change"
an your business?- she asked, with
her eyes fixed on her plate.
''Wel, yes; the change 1 have IN mind
viii give me a partner in my business.
But what was going to speak to you
about was change in regard to my
meals. 1t isn't altogether convenient
having my room in one place and tax
ing my meals in another. Moreover,
1 do not quite ike being a mealer-"
"Of course, If you wish to make
change you are at liberty to do so. 1
could not promise you any better
meals than I have been giving you
even if you stayed with me-"
ST wouldn't want any better meals
any place"
90 thank you"
"The meals are all right, but never
before was what they call in this town
q 'mealer,' and I don't like 1t. would

they were served by-well, my wife.
ThereI Semira, don't look so fright
enedl It is what I have been wanting
to say for long time, almost from the
first meal ate with you'll Let me stop
being a smealer' and let me be your
husband instead"
He had reached across the little
table and taken her by both hands and
was looking into her face with shin
ing eyes. Her eyes met his IN q mo-
ment and he must have seen something
Of hope and encouragement for him
In them, for he was BY her side in
moment with his arm around her waist
and his cheek TO hers
Thsznext day Mss Doane received =
call from Mrs. Sampson, who said
even, S'mfra, it's turned out Just
the way Sampson an me have been
sayins for two months that Il would
turn out, an I'm glad OF It, even II Z
have lost my roomer. Anyhow, you
have gained a mealer for Life. I wish
