The men stopped at the Boone VIA

The marvellous thing about the whole
trip fo. me-" said Mr.. Bicknell was
the fact that it seemed to run thru an

rue country Town.

me SOUuSEy AOWAs
It's common to sheer at the country town,
With its quiet streets and its peaceful
air,
Where the little river meanders down
To be lost in the broad, blue sea some
where
AS we who think we are wise are lost
In the roaring city that. like the sea,
Has it's chb and flow, with its millions
tossed
AS bubbles robbed Of identity.
There's fellowship in the country town,
With its empty streets and its spreading
trees.
Where the country song birds MARBLE
down
At maids as fair as man ever sees;
Where the wind blows sweet from the
fields near by.
Where men know the names which their
neishbors bear.
Where man is missed when he's gone to
Ito
With the peaceful ones who have ceased
to care.
There are joys out there in the country
town
That we of the city may never learn
In the rush for money and for renown,
Confronting strangers where'er we turn!
OH wasn't Gods world serene and fair
In the country town ere we came away?
And won't it be sweet 10 sleep out there,
Far from the citys roar. some day?

oNE-LEGeEo MEN.
Are More Numerous Than Supposed in
All Walks Of Life.

New Orleans T.nes-Democrat.l
Have you ever thought about the
one-legged man. how numerous he Is,
and what he does for a livelihood 2
asked an ohservant man. We'll, l
suppose you have without paying much
attention to what you were thinking
about You will find many men who
are thus afflicted quite as we'll off In
the affairs OF the world as men who
stiu retain both Of their lower limbs.
Many of the brave soldiers who took
part in the little sk!rnlish OF the SOS
left the fighting with one leg, or they
were wounded in such way that they
lost the limb afterward because am
putation became necessary. Frequent
ly this condition confronted the
wounded soldier. many years afteh the
war. So there are many one-legged
men who are prominent in all the pro-
fessions and in all the business affairs
of the country.
"But was thinking af another class
of men. men who are not for one rea-
son and another. fitted for the more
responsible positions In life, the clas.
of men who perforce fall into the most
convenient grooves for the aims and
responsibilities which beser them. He
is bootblack now ana then, and we
fnd him lounging on the corner. wait
ing for some good customer who will
give him the usual allowance for a
shine. Sometimes we find him at other
things which do not require too much
leg work. as the saying goes. But I
had in mind a still more curious fact
in connection with the calling of the
one-legged man. Did you know that
fully 80 per cent of the railroad flag
men in the United States are one
legged? Did you know that fully 80
per cent of the men who sweep out
the grooves. and who grease them, al;
the curves on street railway lines. are
one-Iegged men? 1t Is a fact. whether
you know 1t or not. and a little closer
observation will convince you of t..
So you And the one-iegged man at
crossings Of the roads, and your life Is
often in his hands. II he maps, he may
Whit your candle out. Or II he should
give false signal for some reason,
something might happen, to whole
trainload OF people. So in all the plays
where 1t has heen necessary to intro
duce him. the fiagman is legged
The verdict Of the stage is not always
good. but in this respect am inclined
to think that no mistake has been
made"

soard of Public Service Decides TO

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 15.--Punisn-

effect at the workhouse ever since the
institution was established, has been
abolished by the board of public ser
Vice as an unnecessarily cruel meas
ure
When DIR. Otto P. Geier took charge
al workhouse physician last spring
he joined with Superintendent Ruhr
vein in recommending the Handwriting
system in place of the dungeons. Flos-
ging Is not permitted in Ohio, but
the rules permit the use of shacklss.
A prisoner who has so frequently
broken the rules as to require discipline
is now placed in n cell with his wrists
thru the bars of the door Slightly above
the waist line. Handouts are then APP
piled to the wrists outside the door and
the prisoner left to think over his mis-
takes.
AT first this is no punishment what
ever" said the superintendent yester-
day, land the prisoners think they hav.
snap In being relieved of work only
to remain standing. Soon, however.
the posture becomes tiresome and they
begin to wiggle and twist This gives
temporary relief. and they still think
1T is away ahead of the dungeon.
In a short time, however. the po-
sition becomes unbearable, and the pr
soner actually suffers for lack of free
dom to move about. Then he decides
to be good and is released from the
pillory and put back in his own cell.
So that we get better results and di
minish the severity of the punish

E. n. Prince Grain Letter.

Chicago. Dec. 15.-Wheat-There
was strength in wheat early today
on Argentine news and continued small
receipts but on the advance heavy
selling by commission houses caused
weakness and decline under yester-
days close OF about rs Of a cent, with
but little recovery. A feature was the
heavy selling in July and there was
some late buying in May against these
sales. Trade was good all day. very
little change in the general situation.
Southwestern receipts continue large
and those in the northwest small. Pri-
mary receipts, however. were 10000
bushels more than last year.
Corn-T,here has been firm corn
market all day Effects OF Illinois and
Nebraska reports We're felt in the trade.
This combined with the firm cables and
very small receipts resulted In lit
tie higher prices. Trade was not large
and local traders We're not inclined to
sell. The best buying was for shorts.
There was fair commission houses
demand and the weakness in wheat
affected the market some resulting In Il
loss OF the fractional advance, but
closed firm.
Oats-The oats market was inclined
to follow wheat. Very little change
In prices and aside from good COM
mission house demand on decline. The
market was featureless Receipts are
becoming very small and this has a
strengthening effect on the market.
Cash demand Is only fair.
