 When reached the station l had eaten a hearty meal, and, being an in- veterate smoker, l took a seat in the smoking car. Three men sitting in the seat in front of me needed fourth man to make up a game of whist. l consented to help them out provided there was no stake. They agreed, and I sat down and played with them. During the game I caught one of the men looking at the protuberance on my chest. When we tired of playing and l went Into another car he followed me, endeavOring to draw me into conversa- ton. He asked me where I was going, what hotel I intended stopping at and a number of other questions. l admit ted that l was going to New York; but, not relishing his interest in me, l threw him of as to the hotel. l supposed l had thrown him off in this respect, but I did not. for when went to the office of a hotel near the Grand Central de- pot and put my name on the register the next man to sign was my inter ested friend.

 Ten minutes before the time for the arrival of the Chicago limited step ped across to the station and waited for an official to call the incoming train. When he did so, and the pas sengers poured forth, a man answer ing to Mir. Halls photograph came along, and I accosted him.
 "From Steele & Co.?" he asked.
 ''Yes."

 I followed him to the street where he entered a carriage and bade me fol- low him. As we drove away I saw my interested friend standing on the side walk looking at us. l looked up at Mir.

 Shipping

The manager of the Pacific Cold Storage Company, of Tacoma, which company this year will send $500 head of cattle over the new road to Dawson, stated that animals taken in this way weighed heavier than when transported by steamer down the Yukon river, says the Victoria Colonist. The distance by the road is about 80 miles and the time occupied will be about twenty days, but it is calculated that the animals will arrive in better condition, and the less cost in getting them to Dawson will enable the beef to be retailed at a much lower price than formerly.

The letter says:
"DEAR SENAroR-The facts are
that during your term as president of
the Davis Coal & Coke Co. no trouble
with labor ACQUIRED. The company
only once in its existance evicted men
from its houses, and this was before
you assumed its presidency. Once,

you refused to permit the action. Dur

A Degenerated Show.

The Noble Company, in former
years when it visited Great Bend, was
apparently conducted on the principle
Of good returns for your money, but
their visit to Great Bend this year
was conducted on the cheap-screw
principle. They kicked because they
did not get free tickets to the fair
grounds for their people to- advertise
their show. Then they kicked be-
cause the papers of the city did not
give them five hundred per cent of
advertising for hundred per cent of
tickets. They had good houses each
night, but their performances were not
near up to former standard. They
probably will not visit Great Bend
again, and it will be just as well that
they do not.
This office gave them just $3.50
worth of advertising for $3.50 worth
of tickets of admission. The balance
of $3.50 we charge up to "over-con-
f1dence," and balance the account off
with the satisfaction we have in tell
ing the public what cheap-screws they
are
