A Touching Incident on q Santa Fe
Train in Which a Mother aud Five
Small Children Were the Central
Figures.

Wellington (Kansas) News.
On a Santa Fe train coming out OF
Kansas City one night was a mother
and her brood of five, four girls and
one boy. They had left Illinois the
day before, and were on their way to
"the new country" where the husband
and father has claim which is the
new home. The Oldest girl appeared
about fifteen, and from that age
down to the only boy, chubby little
fellow about four.
Their dress and manner showed
that they had not been reared in the
midst Of luxury and opulence, but
with all they were model children and
scrupulously clean. The mother was
thin and bony, her face slick and
haggard from the long trip and the
care of her precious little flock, for
there were twenty-four hours yet be-
fore the journeys end.
1t was after bedtime when the
train left Kansas City and the
younger ones were soon yawning and
scarcely able to keep awake. In fact
the pet of the family had closed his
eyes and was fast approaching "shut
eye town." while the next eldest tug

ing to keep the least one awake.
They occupied seats in the front end
of the car, including three long seats
which ran along the smoking cal
partition.
Presently the cause of all this ex
citement was made plain, it was bed
time and they had not said theil
prayers. Quietly, modestly, without
ostentation, yes, even timidly, the
mother and her children knelt to
gether at the long seat, the baby
bowing his head with the rest anG
rubbing with chubby hands his eyes
that would hardly stay open, while
the evening prayers were said.

arose, the children were made a!

The picture of the improved capi-

wish the work might begin at once.
AS it stands the building has short,
stubby look, and really is too small
to furnish offices for the State ad-
ministration; as it will be, few States
in the Union will have a handeomer
capitol, and all the public business
can be done under it's roof. We hope
the Raleigh Post will point out the
way to do the work, and that the

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE Foa

IL q :" - - -
It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intes;ines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means Of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method oftrcatment. Quinine,
Iron. etc, stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that causc the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intes,incs and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding MI
crobes. 1t also kills n. germs that
infest the veins and arteiies. 1t drives
from the blood al poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.

"The people have done more for the

the world" writes Prof. McAndrew,
principal of the girls high school, in
the Worlds Work.
As for teachers In general, the rec
ord is usually after this fashion:
Crates, of Mallos, was the first to
teach grammar in Rome. Having had
the misfortune to fall into a sewer,
thus breaking his leg, he was thence
forward considered good for nothing
but to be aateacher."
Horace mentions Orbillius, the most
famous teacher OF his time, only to
confer on him an immortality of con-

CHAPTER XIX.

The people of Nilus were naturally
much interested in knowing the ac-
tual value of the Colorado mine
which had been the exciting germ OF
such an elaborate conspiracy, but II
was sold to Frederick Merivale for q
sum which was entirely acceptable to
the Wright family, but was never ac-
curately made public.
OF course the memory Of the tragic
events herein set forth left its trace
upon all those connected with them,
and Mrs. Wright, Miriam and Her
bert decided upon an extensive trip
to Europe, where they hoped to blot
out the incidents Of the CHASTITY
past. For many months q terrible
strain had been upon them, and only
when all their trouble was over did
they realize how great it had been.
Amid peaceful scenes Of the Old
World, and in quiet hooks unadver-
tised by the indefatigable tourist,
they passed an eventful year, and the
record of an unhappy past became
dim and unobtrusive.
