HeP etered Out.

About ten years ago., says the
Emporia Gazette, "a merchant came
here with plenty of money TO start a
tirst-ciass dry goods store. He rented
one of the best located rooms in town,
put in a fresh, clean up-to-date line OF
dry goods that was coed enough Tor
the richest woman in town, and was
not altogether out of reach in price
for the poorest, advertised these facts
so aItractiYeIy in the newspapers that
he had lots of women wishing every
day was pay day. Trade romped his
way so lively that he thought OF en-
larging the front entrance. He was
even thought of as a competitor OF
NeWman'S (ROrabaugh S wasn't here
them His business ran along as
smooth as velvet until he went to ltig-
uring how much money he would
have at the end Of the year If he did
not spend any of it for advertising.
The advertising discontinued. Short
ly after that he found that lie could
get along and wait on the trade with
one less clerk.
In few months time his trade
had grown enough smaller that three
more clerks were discharged. He
tried to brace up the business by add
ing line of groceries with his dry
goods, but that didn't work. The
next move was to buy a cheaper grade
of goods and sell them at lower prices,
but that didn't bring the trade either.
His stock at the best wasn't any too
good for the town. Between the cheap
ening of the quality of The goods and
the lack of advertising and with one
horse grocery in the back. the dry
goods department fzzled out alto
gether He tried to run the grocery
ON the same methods and had a hard
time making enough to pay the help,
so disposed of it as quickly as posi- BILE.
He is now running small general
store that looks like a rest cure, with
all the patience on vacation, in the
eastern part of the state"

oeneral MetcaIf Exonerated.

Washington, Jan. 30.-General, Will
der S. Metcalf was exOnerated COM
p!etely by the unanimous report of the
committee on pensions in the senate.
The report stated that sufficient
evidence had been submitted to con-
vince the committee that General
Metcalf had nothing whatever to do
with the shooting OF the Filipino
prisoners.
General Metcalf VIII probably be
confirmed at the first executive seS-
sion Of the senate at which nominal
tionS are considered. The charges
against General Metcalf were that he
shot two Philippines in cold blood. The
charges were made by Lieut.. Hall, of
Lawrence, Kansas. 1t was said by
Metcalf's friends that he gave orders
TO take the two prisoners to the rear
and that two privates shot them be-
cause they would not go. Lemuel D.
Cummins, OF Kansas City, KanS., was
one of the soldiers. The other is
dead. Cummins admitted that he
shot one of tn prisoners because the
Filipino was giving him trouble. He
exonerated Metcalf. The charges
arose when he was name colonel of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, and
we're caused by Jealousy.

MEALS ON THE ROAD.
Peculiar Customs OF Several Nations
Regarding Their Railway
Restaurants.

A recent rumor that an attempt
was being made to form d new syndi-
cate which would organize and control
railway catering i'll England on en-
tirely fresh lines serves as a reminder
that British railways in this respect
are in some ways much behind those
of many foreign countries. Apart from.
what has been done for third-class
passengers by the institution Of third
class dining cars, the luncheon bas-
kets provided for short-distarce tray-
elers in this country might be remod-
eled on German principles to their adj
vantage, when the viands they contain
are hot, says the London Mail.
In the fatherland tin rece ptacle,
very much like a milk can on a small
scale, is used for the purpose of com
partment repasts. Inside the tin are
tiers of trays, upon each one of which
the various dishes are placed. There
is one for soup, another for hot meat,
another for vegetables, q fourth for
sweets, and a fifth for something
savory, while the little bottle of wine
or lager beer is not lacking, and the
knives, forks, spoons and glasses nee
essary for the feasts outspread are
all in their places.
In Germany, too, most excellent
system of railway refreshment rooms
prevails. There is huge apartment,
arranged upon one side with a bar,
and having all over it small tables and
seats. This apartment serves the pur-
pose of a waiting room as we'll as
refreshment place. No one need eat
L : L
jesire to do so he will find his wants
quickly and court eously attended to
by competent walters, and what is so
charming about the arrangement is
the fact that before every train is due
to start a railway official enters who,
while he walks slowly through the
room, announces in the most lusty
tone the route of the train and the
platform beside which it is to be
found. At such stations as Oberhau-
sen, which the night express from
Hamburg to Flushing reaches about
six O'Clock in the morning, one of the
waiters from the refreshment room
Is told OF to meet the train and an
nounce TO the sleepy passengers that
there is walt OF three-quarters of an
hour. and thatzbreakfast is ready for
these who require II.
The Swedish time tables mark cer-
tain stations with tiny knife and
fork. q sign that there are refresh
ment rooms. The plan of arrange
ment and procedure differ absolutely
in Swedish refreshment rooms from
German and English ones. There are
no walters. In the center of the apart
ment is 8 huge table upon which all
the eatabies are placed, also piles of
plates, knives and forks arranged in
symmetrical heap, and plates of
bread. At one end the little dishes of
appetizers, without which Swede dis
likes to begin a meal, are set out. and
at the other tea, coffee, milk and sweet
cakes as a rule, though sometimes
these are placed on side table apart.
