The Shovel on the Walk.

What Joy some winter morning
When I suddenly awake.
And just the thought Of getting
Up will make the covers shake.
When chilly drafts inform me
That the furnace fire Is low.
And, looking out the window.
can see the falling snow.
What Joy it is to listen
To my neighbor's cheerful talk
And the merry, merry clatter
OF the shovel on the walk.
I make a mental picture
or the snowdrift on the street.
And sleep at once becomes
Blessing more than twice as sweet
Oh. how hug the pillow
Fen more tightly than before
AnG make all kinds Of wishes
That relate to sleeping more!
I know that duty calls" me.
But I'm much inclined to balk
When I hear the merry clatter
OF the shovel on the walk.
Give me the good old summer.
When the snow is at the pole.
And don't have to shovel
Any ashes. snow or coal.
Let any man that wishes
Spend his morning pushing snow.
But not for me the labor
When the biting blizzards blow.
The stuff about the pleasure
OF the work II dippy talk.
And I don't like to hear tho clattex
OF the shovel on the walk.

CAUSE OF WRECK SAID TO BE
DUE TO FREIGHT CREW MIS-
TAKING ORDERS.

Kansas City, Jan. line ROCK ISL
and California and Mexico express
collided headon shortly after 1 a. m.
at Willard, Kan, fourteen miles west
of Topeka, with cattle train. Twenty
persons were killed and every person
on the train was injured. A relief
train that left Topeka for the scene
returned to that city at 1880 a. m.
with the dead and injured.
The wrecked train left Kansas City
twenty minutes late and at the time
of the accident was running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour.
The train carried many persons for
Oklahoma, who had taken advantage
of the homesteaders' excursion rates.
It also contained through sleepers and
chair cars for San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
The wreck was one of the most Sc
rious that has happened on the Rock
Island system In years. Between Kan
sas City and Topeka the Rock Island
uses the track of the Union Pacific
and as there are no general offices
of either road in this city details OF
the disaster were obtained with diff
Guilty. Several reporters who boarded
the relief train as it left Topeka early
in the morning were put off the train
shortly after it started from that city
and the first details of the collision
came from persons on the wrecked
train after they had been returned to
Topeka.
Occurring as it did at q small sta
tion with few facilities for aid and in
the darkness there was much delay in
extricating the dead and injured and
in caring for the latter. I"
The train was composed of combi-
nation baggage and mail car, regular
baggage car, a. smoker, a tourist
sleeper and standard sleeper.

ger conductor, was caused by the
