that the disfguration is to be lifelong

mothers of such afflicted children to ac-

Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to

heard of the telegraph, was fascinated
with it's workings, and at that time my
chief ambition was to be able to send
message over the wires
What kind of work do you want to

that I didn't suppose 1 was capable Of
doing anything but carry messages.
Well he said. we don't pay boys any
thing the first six months; but if you
want to work, you will have a chance
to learn the business. When you're in
the office you can easily pick UP the
knack of operating the keys, and, event

during that time?" 1 asked Colonel
Clowry.
I was able to earn money by doing
various odd jobs around town, and of
course my expenses were very low. For
a while I used to get my own meals. 1
learned to do plain cooking at home,
and it was no hardship for me to fry an
a very small town in 1852, and I had
never been accustomed to luxurious liv-

at the Office. I was the only messenger,
and had all the work to do, so I hardly
had time to be homesick. After my life
on the farm, Joliet was a regular me-

to be away from home and dependent
on my own resources, and it was only
natural that I should occasionally get

Were you able to learn telegraphy in
a short time?'
Yes, it seemed to come natural to
me I always liked mechanics and
didn't rest until I knew the function of
every key and lever connected with the
instruments in the office. Within two
months I was able to send and receive
a message, and in four months I was

COAL COMING IN.
The Local Situation Receives Addi-

The fuel situation in Topeka today is

There is not large amount of coal

Kansas newspaper men who have trou

certain that the above is the correct
version of the names but they are about
as near as the average man ever comes.
Waggener is the more culDable of the
two for he has two names which are
