ORIGIN Iof the Katy Flyer.

Mr.. w. G. Crush, general passenger
and ticket agent OF the M. X. & L.
railroad furnishes the following in
teresting information in regard to
the origin OF the Katy Flyer: The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway,
years ago, was leased and operated by
the Missouri Pacific, and that part OF
the line that today is the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas was known to
them as the X. and L. division, mean
ING the Kansas and Texas division.
AS is we'll known, trainmeD, switch
men and other railway employees ab-
breyiate everything and in handling
cars In the yards instead OF saying:
sPut the X. and II. car No. S0,964 on
sidetfack," they said, "Put the X. L.
carr etc. TX. T." was not so easily
said as Katy" consequently the
road became known as the KATY"
1t being short name and the road
being universally known among train
men as the "Katy," we adopted 1t as
a trademark. The word katy" being
feminine, we use our present katy
Girl" in connection with our adyer
tisements. In / 1913 during the Worlds
Fair at Chicago, we put on our frs
fast train from Texas points in con
nection with the Chicago, Burlington
g. Quincy. The train, OF course, re
quired name which was distinct ans
could be advertised, and it being
4 fiyer-a very fast train--it was called
the "Katy Flyer" and this name ha
been ia use ever since in connection
with OUT fast train.

"Axed His PnrdIn."

Ex-Gov. Hoge Tyler of Virginia,
whose term expired i'm December last,
was especially enerous in granting
pardons. From many Of them he de-
rived much pleasure in the gratitude Of
the unfortunates. and often received
material for al amusing story. One of
these he tells was OF a negro from
Richmond, convicted of some slight Of
ferse. who had convinced the governor
that he had been sufficiently punished,
and who was. accordingly, granted a
pardon. The pardoned mans young
er brother heard of his release before
the ex-convict could reach home, and
rushed TO tell their mother the good
news.

CHAPTER XIV.
Littimer Castle.

II you had asked the first I'VE people
on the Littimer estate what they
thought OF the lord OF the soil, you
would have had a different answer
from everone. One woman would have
said that kinder and better man new
err lived: her neighbor would have de-
clared Lord Littimer TO be as hard as
the neither milestone. Farmer George
would have rated him jolly good fell
low, and tell how he would sit in the
kitchen over a mug OF ale; while
Farmer John swore at his landlord as
a hardfisted, grasping miser, devoid
Of the bowels Of compassion.

whole village down as a lot of gossips.

In sooth, he was a man Of moods and

never swerved in his fealty to Lady

heis held. So far aspolitics is concerned he is new
man too
As to the county clerkship there is not man in
the county who in respect for the truth will say that
the affairs of that office have not been efficiently and
satisfactorily administered Ihas been said by bitter
political enemies Of the incumbent that it the best
regulated county office in the state and that no clerk
ever took greater pains extended greater courtesies
The Office is among the most important Of the county
and the people snterests at this particular time, when
there much activity in the change OF ownership Of
real estate demands that this high conduct Of the Of
flee be continued. They do not want experiment
at this time and do not propose to have it.

The Republican Ticket.


The county Republican ticket is composed largely
Of men who have had but little to do with politics. ii
that term may be Objectionable to any one There is
Homer W. Williams, the nominee Tor circuit clerk
He has been in politics beyond giving his party
good loyal work. He never protested to be politician
and makes no pretensions ofthat sort now. he Is
quiet, unassuming, honest young man and does not
60 up and down the country parading his virtues he
does not have to tell the people that he Is clean man
and that his character is untashed like Democratic
nominee or two is doing The people know him as he
is and satisfied with him.
Then, again, there is W. W. Jameson the nomi-
nee for county commissioner No one that knows him
believes that he would knowingly wrongfuly discharge
the duties of the Office To which he will be elected by
an enormous majority. Heis business man Of strict
est integrity and all Of his many business associates
praise him highly some Of the very strongest Demo-
Gratis in the county men Of great integrity intend
vote for him because their business relations with him
have resulted in an honest conviction that he i the
rigbtman for the place He j. not politician but 10
the contrary the business mans candidate.

Dawson is Mistaken.

Secretary Of State William NJ. o. Dawson in an
alleged interview is reported saying the republican
party in this state is disorganized Mr. Dawsons OBJ
jec in making this statement is not apparent and is
mwarranted by the facts lie shows miamiliarity
with the actual stuhtion. He has probably been 50
busily engaged in Kanawha county politics, in which
the democratic party centers large portion Of its hest
efforts, and has given so much attention to his Office
as to have had but little thought over the politics in
other sections of the state
1t is true that in few portions OF the state condi-
tons are not as good they might he hut in
those sections there is occasion for alarm. The in
terview very much magnifes what slight differences
there may be and there will not be that apathy he til
about The Republicans OF West Virginia fully ap-
prcciate what it would mean 10 turn the state
the Democratic party and they viii stand for repet
ton of the awful dose the Democrats gave them for
quarter of a century.
There is some disaffectionin Monongala county,
some in Mercer some in and around Parkcrsburg but
none comparatively speaking anywhere else in the
state. The First congressional district is in better
shape than eyer and the Republican nominee for
grs is stronger with the people of his district than at
any time since he received his first nomination. The
various county tickets in his dstrictare equally strong
with the people and have no occasion, whatever, for
alarm. The same is true in the other Congressional
districts and confidence is felt every where in Republic
can victory.
Mr. Dawson should not allow the Scott Caldwell
contest for the United States enatorshp to bias him
the extent of wrongfully sizngup the situation and it
ishis duty to amiliarze himself with actual cond-
tons before hc;attempts to tell how things are.
1t is now up to him to explain his motive in show
ing his Ignorance in this matter The party demands
it of him. and he would retain his standing with the
Republicans ofWest Virginia he not rectify him
self in this matter too quickly
