A well known novelist tells an anus
ing story Of his father, an English rec
tor, and Sir Henry Thompson, the sur
geon and authority on food. Sir Henry
was called in and prescribed a certain
diet, particularly warning the patient
against apple tart. for which the rever.
end gentleman had a great partiality,
"Oh. but. Sir Henry" pleaded the pa
tient, "mayn't have Il little-just on
Sunday? We always have it for dinner
then" Sir" replied Sir Henry in Sc
we're tones, "do you imagine that yoar
stomach is any different on Sunday
from what it is on other days? Good

Down in Bridgeton another death
bed scene has had a marked effect on
local politics. A member of the COM
mon council, who had been elected
on a "wet" ticket, promised his dy-
ing wife that he would never vote for
the granting of another liquor Ii
cense. In order to carry out his
solemn pledge, and at the same time
keep faith with the men who elected
him, the councilman made an open
statement of the situation and then
rendered his resignation. AS a con-
sequence there is no hope that Bridge
ton will be a license town after next
week, for the "wets" lack two votes
of having majority in the council.

Hitch Your Wagon to a star.

A student of the horse thus explains
where Emerson's epigram, Hitch your
wagon to a star" originated: Long be-
fore the war there was famous trot.
ting stallion of the name of American
Star. belonging to one Seely. Ameri-
can Star mares became scattered all
through New England and New York.
for they were the best roadsters in the
country, and every farmer must have
one. 1t soon became well understood
that in order not to lose the respect of
the community one must drive nothing
else. Later ii became subject of ban
ter. If one farmer passed another on
the road. he would look over his shoul-
der and shout. why don't you hitch
your wagon to a starY Unqueston
ably Emerson many time had heard
the remark, and in his lecture ON
american Civilization" at the smith
sonian institution in 1862 he rung 1t
in for the first time, advising mankind
in general to aim high and Hitch your
wagon to a star" thus converting Il
common incident into figurative al

''The Wizard of or at the Majestic
Threatre.

''The Wizard of or at the Majestic
Threatre.
Spectacular extravaganza of the most
allurlng kind seems to have attained new
vogue in New York city. One of the most
emphatic successes now upon the metro
politan stage is 1.-THE Wizard of Or" which
is testing the capacity of the new Majestic
Theatre at every performance. The ex-
travaganza is described as an adroit effu
sion of the most attractive elements of
burlesque, ballet comic pantomime and
smart up to-date musical comedy. The
chief factor in the success of this now
entertainment Ia, according to the New
York critics, Mr.. Julian Mitchell whose
reputation as stage manager Is inter
national Mr.. Mitchell was for ten years
stage manager for the late Charles H.
Hoyt and produced for that successful
author the entire series of inimitable
Hoyt plays. His reputation as stage di
rector of Weber and Fields has further
enhanced his position as producer and
his latest achievement "The Wizard of
Or" eclipses all his past successful efforts.
One novel scenic effect in the new ex-
travaganza Is SAID to be so gorgeous and
unique that 1t would alone assure the
success of The Wizard of o." This is
the marvellous transformation of a field of
peoples in full bloom from summer to
winter. The opening scene of the play
shows the disruption of Kansas farm by
the deadly cyclone. Mr.. Mitchell has In
vented at least a dozen other ingenious
effects that have created positive furore
in the Metropolis. "The Wizard of Or"
is characterized by the New York press as
the most facinating and novel spectacle
seen In recent seasons, and no imported
production from London or Paris has ex-
cited so much genuine enthusiasm among
playgoers of all classes and walks in lite

THE RESCUE.
BY STUART RANDOLPH WHITMAN.
1t happened on the night of January
9th, in the year 1880. had just come
out of a theatre and | saw an unusual
crowd. The people were running. 1t
seemed to be house on fire. Flame
and smoke were issuing from the win
dows; men and women were on the
Sills shouting for help. The crowd
was yelling wildly: ''They are burn
ing to DEATH" The firemen arrived
and fearful sight was witnessed. A
woman appeared on the sill of the
third story window with a child in her
arms. She was crying for help. Flame
and smoke were issuing from above
and below her The people were cry
ing; up to the third story" A
terrible thing was happening. Beams
were falling and the house was filled
with sitting smoke. The west side of
the roof was covered with ice and there
were no places for firemen to grasp.
Suddenly a fireman came out on the
edge of the roof; an immense "hurrah"
rose to the sky. Just then another
fireman came and having reached the
threatened point crossed. Soon he be-
gan with furious blows of his axe to
split and break the tiles, shingles and
beams so he could enter the room be-
low. All this time the woman was
suspended with her child in her arms
The fire was raging and in moment
she would have fallen to the street.
The opening was made and the fire.
man soon entered. Suddenly the figure
of a fireman was seen to appear on the
balcony and take the woman and child
safely to the ground Then the crowd
gave thousands of cheers that were
sent up to the sky The fire kept
up all night, but in the morning its
ashes were the only thing to be seen.

There are several keys to each box, which are
held by persons living nearby-a card attached
to each box gives the names of such holders.
Policemen also have keys.

WOUND NOT
DANGEROUS,

Floyd Merchant was shot In the Ford
county Jail on last Thursday evening.
The prisoner had gotten hold of cocaine,
whisky or something that had taken COM
plete charge Of his senses, and had been
making a rough house in the JAIL
"Dutch', the Milwaukee barber, was
taken INTO the Jail to work through a
SOLDERING process and had gone to Sleep
Merchant, 1t is claimed, searched Dutch's
pockets and found the drug with which
he started bis brain buzzng. John Mad
den, as a deputy sheriff, was sent to the
Jail to lock Merchant In bis cell. In the
scrimmage which followed Merchant was
was shot with the revolver which the
deputy carried. 1t ia claimed that the
shooting was accidental, Merchant has
refused from bis early DOyh00d 10 Dc q
law abiding citizen and has served con-
siderable time in the county jails and
state reformatory and Is not entitled to
great deal Of sympathy. Still, 1t Is to be
regretted that The thug happened as 1t
did and the deputy, no doubt, had be m
ticipated arY such trouble, could have
secured help enough to have spanked
young Merchant and put him to bed. 1t
is said that Merchan. blamed himself
more than anyone else for all that hap.
pened He will recover from the wound.

In an issue of December II, the paper re.

with the question of meeting expenses,
and demands that the commercial club

Gil. In the issue of the same paper Of

days later the same paper bawls ont that
the council should attend to its affairs
without dragging them all over town.
From reading the three issues Of the
paper it is apparent that 1t advises the
council to do thing, and then demands
the resignation of the council for follow

SANTA Re CUT Off.
Same one We Have Been Building for
Some Time Past.

Some Time Past.
The newest thing regarding the Dodge
City cutoff is in a Chicago dispatch TO
the St. Louis Globe Democrat, as follows:
President E. P. Ripley Of the Santa Fe
made The statement today that a large
portion of the SIC, 100000 bond issue just
authorized would be used in the con.
struction Of the ut-off from Belen, N. NJ,
TO a point on the Atchis0n's line in Tex.
as, yet to be determined. Work OH this
llne.is to be begun in the spring and
pushed rapidly to completion, Estimate
recently made regarding The cost Of the
worI; we're as high as $lO,0OO,OOO but
there is u strong probability that befolc
the line reaches LlanO, arrangements will
be entered into between The Santa Fe
and The Rock Island whereby The former
will use the tracks Of the latter from that
point to Dodge City OF to Ranias City.
Mr., Ripley said that negotiations were
again on between the two companies,
which might eventually result in a con-
tact, but that further than his nothing
could be given out at this time. The
cut. off is to be constructed with view
to eliminating lbe mountain grades on
through business. 1t is estimated TINT
with line Of low grade all the way to
California, the Santa Fe could save be-
tween 100000 100000 annually in
operating expenses.

an opportunity to get an expression from
the public.
