ter and transfers of baggage at hotels

and Northern Pacific, taking in practic-
ally all the points of interest, and those
! who join this party will be shown every
| attention.
Those who take advantage of this trip
will secure one of the cheapest and most
attractive that has ever been offered from
this territory.

| Seaboard, which consisted of about one
hundred people, being the largest party
ever taken from this State on such an ex-
| tensive tour

Mugs. Friend CT Engineers.

Mugs, little black ana white kit
ten, returned to the union depot the
other night from Moberlv. Mon
Mugs is a traveller and is recognized
as the depot mascot.
No one about the depot seems to
know wher Mugs appeared or how
she got her name. To say that mugs
is pretty would be stretching "A point
to the limit, but the depot guides and
enginemen don't care much for
beauty. They like Mugs because
Mugs likes them. The cat scampers
about through the crowds and uLder
the engines, but seems to know when
it is safe to and when not.
About two weeks ago when Engi-
neer Stout, who holds the throttle on
the Wabash Filler out of here, climbed
into his cab he found the kitten sit
ting on the seat. Mugs jumped down
and he thought the cat was gone
until the train had gained full speed.
All his attention was on the track in
front OF him. when with a start he
found the kitten sitting in his lap,
swaying with the engine and playing
with the loose sleeve OF his Jumper
The cat had no permit to rids on the
engine, and yet Stout didn't see how
he could stop the train to put it off,
and it was out of the question to
drop it out of the window. SO Mugs
rode to Moberly, and when Stont
came back to Kansas City, he brought
the kitten with him. Night before
last it boarded the Wabash engine
like an old trainman and took a little
run down to Moberly again.
Nine times out of ten the doctor
doesn't know what is the matter with
the patient-but he knows enough
not to say SO.
The busy man is never too busy to
welcome the caller who has more
money than time

Root the Man. If
Richmond Times-Dispatch.


1t seems plain enough that the Hon.
Elihu Root can be Secretary of State
if he wishes to. His views on the pro-
posed extensions of the Monroe Doc
trine are substantially those of Pres
ident Roosevelt The fact just at
this time makes Mr. Root the Presi-
dents first choice, The only question
is can Mr.. Root or will Mr.. Root give
up a very lucrative law practice to
accept a high office, whose salary at
tanned is not sufficient to meet the
necessary bills OF a member Of the
Cabinet. The expenses of public Off
cres in Washington must be reduced
or their pay must be increased, if we
want the best men for the positions
to be filed.

Our good friends up North have
made an honest effort to reform the
Fourth Of July, or rather the manner
OF observing the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. That
they are making progress along this
line in spite OF the efforts and infu-

The aforetime pandemonium. which
used to break loose in Springfield before

was happily absent last night. The re,

all. 1t looks as if this reform had come

people if it doesn't Great is the power

Was Equal to the Occasion.

The ingenuity of the druggist is
heavily taxed sometimes to under
stand the enquiries made at his place.
Mr. NJ. Dorsey, who is something Of
u Sherlock Holmes in his business,
had little darkey to approach him
the other day with this poser: "Mam-
my says send her some of dat stuff
where sounds like a cent" Some
men would have retired to the piny
woods to think it out, but our veteran
druggist proceeded at once to wrap
up a nickle's worth of cOpperas.
