This settled il with Sam. A month
after the Segregarsett sailed away
with John Burt, Providence steam
er carried Sam Rounds and fifty
carefully selected horses to New
York. Since the death of his father
Sam had provided for his mother, who
lived with him in a wellbuilt house
on his bingham stock farm.
Mrs. Rounds was a faded little
woman who had reached her three
score of years. She looked frail. but
was seemingly incapable of physical
fatigue She had reared family of
ten children, and for more than forty
years had averaged sixteen hours of
work a day Her girlhood was spent
in factory and her honeymoon in a
kitchen.
When Sam was able to build a
house he declared that it should be
his mothers home. He registered a
vow that she should do no more work.
The good old lady was astonished
and a bit dismayed when she examin-
ed the modest house Sam had erected.
This is a nice place" she said

tion struggling for mastery. 1T must

mystery to his mother. 'To my way

only thing worth livin' fer | aims ter
| be the most eXtravagant chap ever
turned outer Rocky Woods"
The reproving look on his mothers
face vanished when Sam threw his
strong arms around her and kissed
her with a resounding smack. They
entered the house. and Sam escorted
his mother to a cOZy room and told
her that it was her own. She looked
| at the tasteful furniture, the snowy
linen, the bright rugs. and the pic
lures, and tears stood in her eyes.

broad bay window framed with morn

prodigality.
Sam touched bell, and a trim,
white-aproned maid responded. She
placed a tureen in front of the mas

st. Louis, December 3.-Yesterday
at the Worlds Fair was twenty-four
hours Of ''the morning after"-
twenty-four hours of heartaches in
stead Of headaches. The immortal
hand that penned the lines of "The
DesArted Village" might have
founda theme for poetic rhapsodies'
in thessilence that hung over the un-
lighted picture.
TIE contrast wrought by six hours
of IMPOSITION history was dramatic
In r1ace of the throngs of merry
makes who surged through the
Worfd's Fair thoroughfares for sew
en- 1nonths there appeared yesterday
an army Of destroyers. The turn
sti1es clicked intermittently through
outssfhe day, but the procession that
passed through the gates was almost
funereal. Tt was the advance guard
of the legion that is to- aid in the
work of demolition.
The dismantling Of the exhibit
palaces began early.
Over the asphalt driveways rat
tied wagon after wagon, loaded with
treasures that have fulfilled the pur-
poses for which they were intended.
Thh, ira.ef;ar3of the palaces them
selves was maze of unsightly pack
ing boxes; the long aisles were be-
strewn with the wreckage. Decora
tions were torn from their hangings
and Grated for shipment. The wa
gon gates were opened wide, and
along the principal driveways of the
Exposition picture wound an end
less procession Of vehicles, each la
den with exhibits from the various
palaces.
The removing of the contents of
the immense exhibit buildings was
facilitated by the bureau of expedi-
ton, which was organized to super
wise the work of removal.
Special exit passes and clearance
cards were issued by Frederick J. V.
Skiff, director of exhibits, and by
noon the dismantling of exhibit
booths was we'll under way. At 4:30
O'Clock the freight office at the Ad-
ministration building was the scene
of extraordinary confusion. Noun
tains of boxes and crates rose up on
the platforms as if by magic. A
special detail of Jefferson guard had
to be hurried from the guard head
quarters to prevent chaos.

Manager Walter Petty, Of the

that at a meeting of the managers
of the Western League yesterday
afternoon a telephone message from
President Foor of the Central Lea

This throws these players on the
hands of the Western League.
"How about the option you and
Jessup have on 4Tomlinson Hall in

"It is not definitely settled what
We will do, but in all probability, we
will put a Western League club in

with the Central League tomorrow

lis. 1t will be up to them whether
there will be war or not. If they in

"What if they give in and refuse
to take Cohen's outfit" was the next
query.

master of the Magic Bunch, "Cohen

And Transfer Them to Elwood-
That City Planned For
Terminal.
OF The RICHMOND DIVISION
Because it is More Centrally Locat-
ed Than Logansport Between
Cincinnati and Chicago.

Are the Richmond division offices
of the Pennsylvania to be split up
and some Of them transferred to Ell
wood? This is question that at
the present time is unanswerable.
There is we'll grounded report that
in case the Pennsylvania transfers
the northern terminal offices of the
division from Logansport to Elwood
some of the offices which are at the
present time located in Richmond
will be transferred to Elwood. It is
said that this transfer hinges on
whether the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company opens up its plant. In the
event that this company decides to
remain closed, SO the rumor goes, the
transfer will surely be made and the
factory buildings of the glass COM
pany will be utilized for offices.
Last Thursday the Elwood Call
Leader published the following:
Dispatches from eastern cities con-
firm this rumor. They say that the
passenger division of the Panhandle
will be changed to Elwood, thus max
ing the divisions of about equal
length. AS at present arranged, the
run from Logansport to Chicago is
about la miles and to Cincinnati it
is 1856 miles.
If an eastern experiment, which all
of the railroad world is watching, is
successful, there is little reason to
doubt that the railroad company will
purchase the plate glas property and
xemove their shops and divisions
here.
If the Logansport offices are trans
ferred to Elwood it seems plausible
that the Master Mechaic, the Road
Foreman of Engines and the General
Foreman, whose Offices are in Rich
mond, will be sent to Elwood because
that town will then be one of the
terminal points of the division and
besides being STATED nearly half
way between Cincinnati and Chicago.
The eastern experiment referred to

crews make longer runs. Now crews
are changed at Philadelphia and AL

six crews to make runs from Jersey
City to Harrisburg and return, and
western crews will be run from Har-
,fsburg to Pittsburg. IF successful !
the change will be made on all Penn

OPEN AIR CURE
Is Being Tried by Woman at Con-
nersville.

Connersville, Ind, December s.
The much heralded open air cure for
lung affection is being tried in this
city by Mrs. Louis Gnerin, who lives
with her mother, Mrs. Fred Schube,
ST., at the corner of Eighth and Wal
nut streets. For about six weeks
Mrs. Gnerin has occupied a chair on
south porch, with sort of canopy
above her head and at the sides, but
some distance from her. She is
well wrapped up but her face is al
ways exposed. She sits there about
three hours before and three hours
after noon, each day, and seems best
contented there. AT night she sleeps
with a window wide open in her
room. She was found reading
newspaper, today, when a reporter
called. She referred him to other
members of the family for informa-
ton. She excluded the chilly air
from her mouth with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Gnerin's face would in no
way indicate that she is an Invalid,
as it has a good, healthy appearance.
That she is no worse for this long
exposure that the healthiest of us
would regard as torture is jn itself
a hopeful sign. And should good re-
suits follow, this lady will have the
satisfaction that will come from set
ting an example that others, simil-
arly afflicted, may profit by. Mrs.
Gnerin's home is at Shelbyville and
she is here the guest of her mother.

An elderly lady, whose name could

cape from being run down by an
East Main street car at the corner of
Main and Fifteenth streets yester-

and pushed the lady from the track.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the incident, but luckily no one
was hurt. After the, lady had re
gained her composure she entered
the car and was taken down town.
In view Of the fact that number Of
accidents have happened to elderly
people in the streets Of Richmond in
the last few weeks it seems remark
able that persons of this age are al
lowed to go about the streets without
companions. But for the prompt as
sistance Of the fireman yesterday
there is no doubt but what The old
lady would have been struck by the
car. The motorman did all in his
power to stop the car, but it is very
hard to stop heavy car in hurry
with a hand brake. AS a further
preventive for accidents the street
car company should see that all Of it's
cars are provided with tenders.

PYTH|AN TEMPLE
At Indianapolis Will Not Be Built
. This Winter.

Indianapolis, Ind, December g.
The building committee of the Py-
THAN Castle Hall Association will
not build the new Pythian temple
on the association lot, Ohio and
Hudson streets, this winter. This
has been definitely decided upon and
it is quite possible that the fine
structure will not be begun until late
in the spring. Each of the six lodges
of the association has appointed
committee of its membership to push
the sale of individual stock and al
ready several thousand dollars worth
of the stock has been disposed of in
this way. 1t is the purpose of the
association to put up a building
which will cost not less than $4,000,
and it is desired to have all or nearly
all of the stock sold before ground
is broken. Four distinct sets of ar
ehitectural building plans have been
submitted, but the question of a
selection will not be definitely fixed
until after the opening of the new
year.
