I After fourteen years of employment
in the GOOdland shops. going and CON
! ing early and late IN summers heat and
winters cold, Dad Barnett resigned
his position with the Rock Island Sat.
urday, for on next Monday, January 9,
he takes charge Of the Office of the clerk
OF the district court of Sherman county
to which he was elected at the las
election.
All the shop boys have a fellow feel
ing for this veteran tOiler, now sixty
four years Of age. This feeling of com
radeship among the men employed in
the round house, machine shops and
car repair department, took shape in a
proposition to make him a present as he
was about to bid them goodbye, and
enter upon MS duties as clerk of the
court.
A committee was appointed, the funds
subscribed, and the presentation made
Saturday evening at his home on West
Ninth street. The committee chosen
was L. F. Cooper, A. E. Freeman, ".
J. Purvis, J. ". Allen, James Browne,
J. B. Trent and c. V. Reed. Bearing
the several gifts, they proceeded up
town, and hailed Parson Stewart at his
home to come along and make the
presentation speech.
They raped at the home of Mr.. Bar
nett, and being received, marched in
The family did not know what was
coming, and the old gentleman was in
his stocking feet after a wash up pre-
paratory to eating supper. Doffing hats
and coats, the spokesman said: dad,
come here, sit down in this chair a
fine wicker arm chair. A rug W as also
spread at his feet, and a lamp placed
on the stand. The Parson made a brief
speech on the part of the committee and
the donors, emphasizing the fact that
these Presen Is were made by the shop
employees as representing their appre-
citation of MS good comradeship as a
fellow IabOrer. a. e Freeman made
the presentation of silver cup aud
saucer. Although somewhat taken back.
Mr.. Barnett made brief but aPpropri-
ate reply.
The group of workmen in their
''fix-uP'' clothes on one side, the old
gent IN clean jean jacket seated in the
chair with his stOckinged feet on the
rug, his son aud daughter aud the wife
standing at the back of the chair, made
a pretty and touching scene.
The old lady patted the old man on
top of his bald head, aud said: 4 tell

Kansas, besides being a great agri-

Intelligent citizens of this wonderful
commonwealth. To the publisher OF
this paper and writer Of this article the
Kansas mineral exhibit was a revelation.
Prof. George P. Grimsley, Of Topeka,
was IN charge Of the Kansas mineral ex-
hibit and has made public his report OF
the prizes and medals awarded. The
state took the grand prize for zinc and
zinc products It stood away up at the

This industry Petroleum-and natural

In the north of Sweden, the border between
that country and Finland, young girls serve as
drivers of the vehicles in which travellers go
from post station to post station. Paul B. Du
Chaillu tells of the resourcefulness of a twelve
year-old girl with large eyes, thick hair and
rosy cheeks who once drove him through por-
ton of this country. The tire of one Of the
wheels became loose. She alghted. blocked the
wheel with a stone, went to farmhouse and
borrowed a hammer and few nails. With these
and the help of a farmer she had everything In
