Jack Thomas, Watch Guard.

When John Morgan surrendered his
command on the famous raid in Ohio dur
ing the civil war. Jack Thomas, the
real estate hustler in the city was eleven
years OF age and lived with his parents
at Salem, Ohio.
Morgan was captured eleven miles south
west OF Salem. For several days there
had been great excitement in Salem.
Some men were collecting squirrel rifles.
and others were moulding bullets while
the women were baking bread cakes and
pies for the men who we're going out
to beat back the army OF Morgan and
keep them from capturing the town Of
Salem.
When the word came 10 Salem that
Morgan was captured, Jack Thomas.
father and neighbor got into a buggy
TO drive out to see the rebel army.
Jack wanted to 30 along but his father
told him he was too young 10 go to war
and the result was that the boy ran the
eleven miles at a safe distance behind the
buggy and now Jack tells of his expert
cree al the surrender OF Morgan with
ali the importance Of an old veteran.
Jack went around among Morgans men
end was soon at home with them. He
declares that the rebel forces were not
captured nor did they surrended. He said
the men were just simply worn out with
their sleepless campaign and the men
just threw up the sponge and dropped
down unable to go any further and they
waited for the union men 10 come and
set them. He declares that he viii never
forget the appearance Of Mo-gans men.
lie said they looked like an army OF
tramps covered with dust and completely
worn out but not broken in spirit. but
they still showed the spirit that has
made the American soldier respected aEd
feared al around the world
Jack Thomas went 10 one OF the cap
tains ard asked him 70 show him the
horse that Morgan had ridden and the
officer pointed to gaunt tagged
mare. Jack said he cut out large
bunch OF hair from the tail OF the mare
10 make him watch chain. He said the
boys in Salem had learned TO braid watch
chains out of horse hair and he was
gcing 10 have one from the tail Of the
siey mare that Morgan had ridden

Mrs. Walden. who understood what was

Saint Marco Piazza. and there We beheld
the ruins OF the great bell tower. There
was gloom and sadness in the faces Of
all for indeed they regarded IL as the
greatest calamity that could have befallen

Venice is both unique and beautiful.
One must see TO be impressed with its
wonders. All traffic is done in small boats
or gondolas. not even push carts being
used in the streets, only a small space
between buildings. All the walks are laid
in cement, yet it has the most exquisite
business appearance. Perfect art is used
fl dressing the shop windows. The dis
Ply OF novelties and decorations is sim
ply wonderful. Ny visit to the fire de-
partment was very interesting. II is
all on boats. The officers were very
courteous and obliging. No fire escapes
are used or are they necessary. II COM
PEELED to escape from fire they jump in
the water ard are picked up by the saw
ing crew. l am told the water is changed
BY the tide every six hours There are
only four horses in the city and they are
bronze-used on equestrian statues Ma
poleon brought the only horse that was
ever in the city and rode il TO the top
OF the Campanile, up winding incline
plane, the grade OF which was gradual.
and although an unique episode. it was
not very daring. There are many Alleri-
can boys who would have done the same
thing on their ponies. The greatest source
OF amusement in Venice are the concerts
on the water. Every night magnificent
singing concerts are held at different
points on the grand canal. Arias and
whole operas are given by splendid COM
pany Boats loaded with some twenty
people and lighted with Chinese lanterns
constitute the concert company. When
they open business with an overture. you
will see the audience in the small gon-
QGlGS HalleIluE &DtLl ttlC Sti4SrAS N.AtA
some two or three hundred gondoias
with two or more persons are wedged
around the concert company and at diff
ferent intervals ushers will pass from one
gondola TO another and collect small
fees from each. The music is good and
the singing grand. While it is cool and
pleasant. it continues along the entire
course Of the canal which becomes one
long avenue of orchestral music and
Song.
From Venice we went 10 Florence, Nj

and went up 10 the ticket window and
asked the fare to Oklahoma City. He
was told 1914 and said Gimme q ticket"
The pastboard was handed out and in
the meantime the fellow was digging
around in his jeans for the wherewithal
to pay for IT, He hshed up an old TO-
bacco sack and began counting out the
nickels and dimes and quarters and when
every cent was taken had just five dol
lars. He was very much chagrined when
he found out he did not have enough
money to pay for the ticket
he thought awhile and finally came
around to the door and whispered to the
ticket seller that he had the money, but
would have 20 come inside to set it. The
man at the window thought he couic
get at his money while in the waiting
room. but the young fellow said he could
not and after talking about it few
minutes the agent asked him 70 go around
to the back door and come in.
The young fellow did so and when he
stepped across the threshold eyed the
telegraph operator and several other peO-.
pie in the room and got red in the face.
and was very much embarrassed, Then
he stammered that he would have 10

Narrow Escape of PASSENGERS.

Col. Bleckley in his perigrinations after
business for the Missouri Pacific was
down over the Rock Island-EI Paso line
: a short time ago. The dining car con-
| ductor had his wire along with him. In
the heart Of the lonely and uninhabited
panhandle while the train was making
favorite clip of fifty miles an hour
the porter said to the dining car con-
ductor-
Boss. wha's 20 wife?"
The conductor looked around and coEld
not see her. He searched the train and
couldn't find her.
Use afraid boss 20 wife has fallen
from the train said the porter.
The train was backed UP for fifteen
miles and there sat the conductors wife
there, sitting in the middle OF desert
where there was neither hope nor water
nor food nor rescue for twenty-four
hours. She was uninjured, but almost
crazy when found.
Col BIeckley cites three other cases
OF the kind A man coming from St.
Louis was lighting his pipe in the rear
platform when the express was turning
a sharp curve. 1t was a very fast train
and had reached a station before It could
be stopped. The section hands were sent
back for the body Of the man. They
found him sitting on a rock clalmly pull
ing away at his pipe
Another case was that of a green horn
Swedish girl coming 70 Lindsborg. She
couldn't understand q word Of English so
after the train having pulled out Of
station in Mcpherson county. when the
porter had said the next station is
Lindshorg." she thought the station just
passed was Lindsborg and she ran and
jumped of the train. When the train
backed up she was gathering UP her
scattered possessions and making ready
To walk back 10 the station.
Once a child was blown off at Lyons
and when the train backed up he was
playing on sand pile.
