LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

GAINESVILLE O.. Nov /. 1905.
My Dear Aunt Busy am. going to write to
you, since [ have never written to YOU. I am an
Ogden boy, and | am II years old. Ny mother
lives IN Ogden, but | am staying with my grand
mother IN GAINESVILLE, O. GAINESVILLE is a city of
about 10000 people and is built on the Musking-
dom river, which passes through the center of the
town. GAINESVILLE is beautiful city. and it has
some potteries and brick plants and tile works. and
1T has fine clay. We have two churches here and
both have large congregations and schools Ny
brother and l attend school at the German school,
which Is taught by the Franciscan nuns. who are
very fine teachers. We boys have an athletic club
here, and the boys have meeting every Thursday
evening and have fine times together Well
guess l will close From your affectionate nephew,
PAUL MILLER,
207 Putnam Avenue, GAINESVILLE. o.
Just imagine what a surprise it was for old
Aunt Busy to hear from an Ogden boy who lives
IN Ohio Aunt Busy was always sure that Ogden
was in Utah. but then nothing is impossible for
Ogden. Perhaps Ogden moved to Ohio because
the latter state happens to go Democratic lately
Indeed, Aunt Busy is very pleased over your in
teresting letter Paul How delightful her other
Ogden boys will be to hear from you. Write soon
again and please send in a good paper on "Colum-,
bus" Aunt Busy would just as soon Ohio won the
prize if the winner viii be an Ogden lad.

thing. So they wouldn't give Columbus any yes
sells to undertake this voyage. So he hunted and
waited for seven years and got nothing. So Queen
Isabelle gave him three small vessels and he started
from Palos Aug. 3 1892, and sailed for the Canary
islands. Columbus sailed on the Santa Maria and
the commanders the others were Martin Aonza
Plzon and Vincente Yanez Pizon. There were 100
men in all. On the morning of departure the whole
expedition confessed and received Holy Commu-
Mon, He had fine weather and favorable winds.
On the night of the Elventh OF October,
the thirty-sixth day after leaving the Ca
nary islands, Columbus saw a light about o'clock;
the next morning land was seen from the Pinto.
They landed on the island of San Labador and
they fell their knees TO thank God, and planted
a cross. Columbus discovered Cuba and Hayti. He
lost the Santa Maria in shipwreck and left
colony on San Salvador and sailed for Spain. He
returned to Palos March -, 1893, after an absence
Of seven months. He had grand reception. lie
sailed on his second voyage Sept. 25, and went to
San Salvador, and the colony were all dead and
he returned to Spain. He made his third voyage
III l496 and discovered the Ounces in South Ameri-
ca, and his fourth voyage, in 1902 he discovered
and explored part Of Central America He died
IN poverty and distress at Ealadolid in 1906. He
never knew he had found new world, but sup
posed he found eastern Asia.

THE MAGYARs OF HUNGARY.
(Irish Catholic.

The propagation of the Hungarian Diet or Par
lament by the exercise of the supreme authority
vested in the Emperor Francis Joseph i'll his ca
pacity as King of Hungary, may possibly lead to
some serious demonstrations of Magyar resentment.
In view of the fact that Austria is. happily, still
one of the most Catholic powers in Europe, it can
scarcely be amiss to point out that 1t would be an
utter mistake to assume that the present dominant
majority in the Hungarian Diet are Nationalist
IN the true sense of the word
The Magyar leaders are only Nationalist III
the same sense as Speaker Foster and others of the
same type, were Nationalist during the period Of
Irish parliamentary independence between 1882 end
1900. The latter desired complete exemption from
English control but they also desired complete mo-
noposy of power for themselves to the exclusion of
the majority of their fellow countrymen from the

My Dear Aunt Busy-Ever since my brother
Walter, went TO St. Mary's college, Richardton,
y. D., have been trying TO find time to write YOU
but every day something happened to prevent me-
Walter is the only brother l have, and | am very
lonesome after him. Mamma had a very nice let
ter from Walter. He likes the place, but is very
lonesome. In few more years l hope to go to
college, too and | hope the boys of my class Cat
least some of them viii come with me. I know |
will be very homesick. Were you homesick when
YOU were a boy in college. Today is election day
here in Ogden. | wish l were man so | could
vote. | think big boys ought to vote; they are
nearly Do you think it is fair to haveIa big
contest voting day, and Just think of it Father
Cushnahan was present and some of his smartest
lads got put down. Friday whoever beats in the
contest will get quarter from Father l am
tired. Good bye. Your loving nephew,
BERNARD BAUCHIAN.
Aunt Busy has a warm welcome for you Der
nard She trusts you will forget all about being
lonely, and remember that Walter will come home
in few months. If you study hard and keep busy
you viii never notice how swiftly the time will
pass.
Aunt Busy never was boy, dear, to her great
grief.
She really does think it pity that boys can
not vote, instead of the foolish women. When YOU
become a man. Bernard keep for away from women
(who like to vote). Certainly it would be far more
for the boys, big and little, to be seen
at the polls!

SURVEYORS AT WORK.

Surveyors are at work running a
line from Muskogee to some point
north of Baxter Springs. The line
is officially known as the Missouri,
Oklahoma and Gulf, and the sur
veyors have run it from Muskogee
to a point this side of the Mission
mine, south of this city. 1t is said,
and we have reason to believe that
the line will be surveyed through
this city.
Some people profess to believe it
ia a Missouri Pacific project, while
others are equally certain it is a
KATY move. But whatever it is, we
are very certain that Baxter Springs
will get another railroad this year

AN UNIQUE BURGLAR APPARATUS

The cIorro W. Carney Drug Co. ,s.;'s
this week had it's electric burglar
alarm overhauled and adjusted.
Three years ago this store was bro
ken into and robbed five times in
one year. Trying every other means
of protection they finally resorted
to electric wiring. The strong iron
bars that protect their doors and
windows were connected with their
electric wiring in such manner
that when the lights were turned
off the entire voltage of the electric
light plant passes through these
wires. which would make it a very
dangerous undertaking.
As further protection connec-
ton is made with their telephone,
and in case of disturbance of the
wires the central office is notified.
1t might be we'll for some of our
other merchants who are cohtrib-
uting periodically TO the "slick fin
gered gentry" to take like precau'
ton.

Joplin and got on a drunk. They
came home Thursday. Herman
started to his home in the sonth
part of town, but fell by the road
side and would have froz n to death
had he not been been quickly dis
covered. He was loaded into a wag-
on and hauled home,
Bill did not fare so luckily. He
got home all right, but got into
cold back room and fell asleep. He
lives alone and would have frozen
to death if he hadn't been found by
a neighbor, Mrs. Lon Dardenne. AS
it was, his feet were frozen solid.
and are in a very bad condition.
Drs. Jones and English are doing
everything possible to save them,
but it may yet be necessary to am
putate them.
