LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-

Bethlehem.

at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it is
known as The Hotel
So it was that when faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds Of her small pupils the story Of
the birth Of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on The
eve Of the first Christmas and found the
inn full Of guests. To make it realistic she
used the slInile Of the town OF Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture; for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas fest5-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale Of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls of the church rang with the laugh
ter Of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with a vengeance.

sufferer for five or six years and moth

Dodd,s Kidney Pills. She began to i'm

Mr. Whipkey says:
"I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per

Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one OF the results of dis

right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,

Goats Help in Loading Sheen

Some OF the western masters who
make a business Of shipping sheep to
market have trained goats to assist in
loading the double-deck cars. As soon
as these Judas Iseariots start up a
chute, the sheep follow On into the ear.
Just as soon as one car is filed the
goats worm their way out and slide
down the chute ready for another.
They are worth their weight in silver
for this purpose, for by their aid it only
requires but a few minutes to load a
whole shipment.

Question That Yexes Feeders

Feeding corn wet or dry is vexed
question, and many have not solved the
problem satisfactorily. A professor
once asked farmer, What are you
feeding those hogs. my friend?'
Corn said the old farmer. Are you
feeding 1t wet or dry?" DRY. Don't
you know that if you feed it wet to the
hogs they can digest it in one-half the
time?" The farmer reflected few mo-
ments and said, Now. see here, pro-
fessor, how much do you calculate a
hogs time is WORTH" It is not so
much matter Of time; It is the assini-
latfon which is the important factor of
feeding. Midland Farmer.

tied.


Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe
started its California Limited train on
the initial run across the continent.
Many improvements have been made in
that busy decade. To-day's engines and
coaches are much heavier than those Of
1894. Millions of dollars have been spent
on the track alone-some of it for oil
eprinkled (dustless) roadbed and oil-burn-
ing (smokeless) engines. The time is
faster, too.
Daily service of the California Limited
will be resumed Sunday, November l3,
fer the tenth season, snperseding the
present semi-weekly schedule. This is
now an all-the-years round train, between
Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
running through Southwest land Of en-
chantment. The time, Chicago to Los
Angeles. is about &c hours, which is fast
speed for the 2,265 miles traversed con-
sidering that several mountain ranges are
crossed.
