A man who was travelling through
the Ozark Mountains on horseback
stopped before a typical Arkansas
farmhouse to inquire the way. Whats
the news?" asked the mountaineer, as
he leaned his lank frame against the
fence and pulled his long beard
thoughtfully.
On finding that what had become a
part Of history was news to him, the
traveller asked why he did not take
some weekly or even monthly periodi-
cal, that he might keep in touch with
the world at large.

A Pleasant Way to Travel

The above is the usual verdict of the
traveller using the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way between the Pacific Coast and the
East, and we believe that the service
and accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and St. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric lighted sleeping
cars, chair cars and up-to-date dining
cars. The same. excellent service is
operated from Kansas City and St.

Hot Springs. If you are going East or
South write for rates and full informa-
ton.

Joys in Tree Planting.

In the early spring the tree fakir is
thriving upon the fad for foreign trees
and shrubs. About the time the snow
disappears in early spring the tree
fakir takes his grubbing hoe. his prun-
ing shears and ball of twine and goes
into the woods. There he grubs up tree
sprouts-sumach, oak, alianthus, hick-
ory. beech. poplar, chestnut-or almost
anything else will serve his purpose.
These he trims and prunes and ties up
in bundles for removal to the place
where they are TO be stored.
When the spring tldying up of the

AT EIGHTY.FIYE YEARS, SENA-
OR PETTUS DISCUSSED AT
BEING CALLED AGED.
Constituents Idolize him-But They
are Preparing to Hold an Election
to Decide on SuccesSor-in Case He
Dies.

Something unusual is happening in
Alabama. The people unanimously
want Edmund Winston Pettus to con-
tinue to serve them in the United
States Senate as long as he lives Yet
they are preparing to hold an election
to decide upon his successor. The rea-
son is that when Senator Pettus' pres
ent term expires, in 1909, he will be
So years old, and the election is to be
held because Alabamans fear he will
not live longer than that. But Grand
pa Pettus is indignant. He says he
is as spry as he was at 60 and that he
expects to live out the whole six years
of another term. He is candidate for
reelection on the platform: "A man
is as young as he feels"
Senator Pettus had reached the time
for chloroforming, according to the
so-called Osler doctrine, back in '63-
about the time he was performing
deeds of daring in defense of Vicks-
burg, fighting with the Confederate
army. 1t seems that the situation had
become desperate; volunteers were
called for a forlorn hope. A brigade
of reckless Texans offered for the
service, and Pettus offered to lead

HOUSE FOR FREE SEEDS.
LOWER BRANCH OF NATIONAL
LEGISLATURE PASSES THIS
APPROPRI4T TON.
Members Of Congress Haze" Op.
ponents of Free Seeds.-Confusion
Precedes Final Vote on Bil..-ARri-
cultural OratOry.

When the House of Representatives
took up the agricultural appropriation
bill, quite discussion arose over the
elimination of the usual free seed item
by the committee on agriculture. The
House gave to the country during the
days of debate, a spectacle that else
where than on the floor of that parlia-
mentary body, would have been known
as rough house.
There was great tendency to
'haze" members when they spoke in
defense of the action of the committee.
Much was said about the attempt to
strike down the Woodworking farmer
and take from him that helping hand
in the shape of free seeds which had
been held out to him for so many
years.
None of the advocates of free seeds
emphasized the fact that the total val
ue of the package containing five
small packets which forms the quota
sent to each farmer cost the govern
ment \, cents, and that each member
had the enormous sum of $50 worth
of these seeds to distribute among his
entire constituency. The arguments
advanced sought to prove that the
withdrawal of this subsidy of less than
2 cents to each farmer would drive the
entire agricultural voting strength of
the country into bankruptcy.
ELOQUENCE ON TAP.
Some of the speeches made will go
rolling down the corridors of time"
as specimens of that matchless elo-
quence always on tap in the House of
Representatives when a great national
issue is up for consideration.
Mr.. Henry, of Connecticut, submit
ted innumerable letters from his con-
stituents and from organized oranges
urging the abolishment of the free
practice Mr.. Mondell, of Wyoming,
delivered himself of humorous
speech in which he poked fun at the
Department. Mr.. Burleson, OF TEXAS,
opposed free seeds because ne did not
believe the intelligent farmers os the
country expected the government to
aid them In ,Lelr business. Farmers,
under all circumstances, he said, had
supported the government and never
expected the government to support
them.
Mr.. Burleson paid his respects,
rather sarcastically, to certain men,
bers who advocated free seeds on the
floor and then in the cloak rooms
sneered at the "Reubens" and "hay-
seeds" who demanded them. Mr. Bur
