Esther, little daughter of Conductor
and Mrs. o. P. Dudley, had the mis-
fortune to burn herself quite badly a
few days ago. She had a cloth with
kerosene oil on it, wiping the stove.
when the cloth caught fire. She was
afraid it would set fire to the house, so
she ran to the door with the blazing
cloth in her right hand, opened the
door with the same hand and threw the
Cloth out. Her hair was singed and her
hand badly burned. A physician was
called to dress the hand, which was in
bad condition, but appears now to be
doing as we'll as could be expected.

In the fields not sown with corn,

Yes, they're large as good-sized cactus
Larger in our home-like view,
But it's of fine grade as
Is that old Kentucky Dew"
Here all people reap harvest,
Money in bank from year to year,
All the green calamity howlers,
Lose their jobs when they land here.
Here the ''dry" ways are the highways,
Built high and dry from rains and food.
Here the "good roads delegation
Swear the roads are suit My good.
But of pixies and highways finest,
There's "rOad" that suits my tastej
TiS the line of Solid Comfort,
And the trains let no time waste.
From Kentucky to ST. Louis,
Operates this road of class,
Across the famous old screen River"
On its roadbed smooth as glass.

For you'll need it in your business,
On your trip to Paradise.

CATTLE QUARANTINE.
The Friction Between Mexico and Tex
as May Be Investigated.

Washington, May 5.-The only 10.
formation the department of state has
touching the reported friction between
Mexico and the state of Texas over the
question of cattle quarantine is con.
tanned in a short telegram from United
States Consul General Hanna, at Mon.
terey, saying that Texas has threat.
ened a quarantine against Mexican
cattle, that the Mexican cattle are
free from disease and that the pro.
posed action might lead to retaliation.
The matter may involve an interesting
question as to the supremacy of state
and national quarantine laws. The de-
partment of agriculture, through the
bureau Of animal industry, probably
will take part in the investigation like.
ly to be made.
