Wichita's First Cnr Line.

The last vestige of the first cleo.
trio car lire in the United States is
rapidly passing away. The old tracks
are being removed from the streets
Ii was built in Wichita in 1887 and
was operated but two or three years
At that time it was the only electric
road in operation in the United
States. Engineers from many states
inspected and as the result many
electric lines in the east had their
inception in the successful operation
of the Market street line.

THIRD PASTURE.

LINZ SH\As
Now we come toa risky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called
LOCO" is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces a arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many ofthese
editors are "Locoed" from hate of
anyone who will not instantlyobey
the demands" of a labor union,
anditis the universal habit Of such
writers to 60 straightinto a system
of personal utilization, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission Of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? Cor they are usual
ly Irresponsible
Keep your eye out for the "Lo-
coed" editor.

Cooking school teachers-this

piled to us for weekly pay If they
would say something nice" about
Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to

their true colors.

kered doctor-the head Of the in
stitution-to tell these prevarica-
lions (you can speak the stronger
word if you like). This same little

of answers to correspondents"
many of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.

This burst OF true American girl indig-
nation was caused by the teacher saying
that Grape-Nuts. the popular pre-digest-
ed food, was made of stale bread shipped
in and sweetened.
The teacher colored up and changed
the subject.
There is quite an assortment OF travel
ing and stay-at-home members of the
tribe of Ananias who tell their false
hoods for variety of reasons.
