In the gratitude of his heart the
general passenger agent wrote the
poet-editor that whenever he desired
to come to Chicago he would be more
than pleased to cause the Southwest
Limited to pause long enough at Chula
to take him on and again to let him
off. This offer was accepted by wire,
as Editor Smith does not believe in
toying with fortune nor flirting with
opportunity. 1t was too late for the
limited that day. so Editor Smith set
the following day as the date for his
journey. Then he wrote a piece for
his paper, as everything that happens,
if anything does happen, in Chula, is
news and told the citizens that he
was going to Chicago on the limited
and as the guest of the general pas
senger agent and of the road.
The story took the entire front
page of the Chula News. with cuts of
the editor and of the train. AS might
be expected, the entire business or
Chula was suspended the following
DAY, anu tNtIy HdH. Oiia diio NhiAN
not bedridden was down to the depot
bright and early. The Chula band
in full uniform was there playing sug-
gestive pieces about conquering
heroes, and Chula's mayor revised his
last Fourth of July "oration" to fit the
occasion.
About the time he reached the
spread-eagle stage of his address there
was a long, mournful wall pitched in
a minor key which sounded like the
expiring wal whoop of an Apache In
dian. II was the Southwest Limited
hailing Chula. Mo. Editor Smith
grasped his new S2.75 suit case firmly
by both straps and waited, all a-trem-
BILE with excitement. The band be-
gan a furious fanfaring and the citi-
zens OF Chula held their breaths.
There were two more long walls, fol-
lowed by two short ones, as the linn
fted's mogul swept down upon Chula's
only grade crossing. a cloud OF blind
ing dust, an answering "toot" to the
tower man as he dropped the soma
DIlOTs lilulCdllHS q SiCo th"NN N' -
faint moan was borne upon a pass
ing breeze to Smith and to Chula's
population as the mogul whistled for
"Niantic or Chicago, which,"
Smith, standing disconsolate with
grip in hand. and with Chula's popula-
ton gazing seemingly with a million
eyes clear through him, didn't care
much which it was. Without so
much as a look at his fellows the Chu-
la News editor turned and fastened
to his sanctum, where he sent the
general passenger agent a telegram
which read: when it comes to four
fushes. there are others"
Needless to say that it was all a
mistake. The general passenger
agent apologized by wire, the limited
did not forget to hesitate at Chula
the following day. And thus was
Chula, Mo-, placed upon the map
Chicago Record-Herald.

CHULA, MISSOURI.
HOW 1T WAS PLACED ON THE
MAP,

Very likely you have not heard of
Chula, Mo. This is not strange, be-
cause Chula has but recently been
placed upon the maps of a state whose
citizens insist upon being shown" and
who refuse to give proper cultivation
to their c~redulity.
The man wno compelled the map
makers to take notice of Chula enjoys
the not uncommon name of Smith
E. H. Smith. He confesses to looking
mora like the proprietor of a razor.
backed hog farm, mortgaged from the
front doorstep to the back pasture LOT,
than ne does like an editor, But this
Smith of unpoetic name has poetry
in his soul. He is, in fact. the
author of the only honest book Of
poems ever published. When he pre-
sented a copy of his book of poems to
the general passenger agent. r. A..
Miller, in recognition of the great
est time of his career" he told him
confidentially that he had selected the
title which the book bears, -Four
Pushes" in order to beat the book
reviewers to the expression.
Il knew them fellers would have to
roast something" explained Smith.
and | reckoned they'd just roast the
first thing that came to hand. and.
OF course, that was the title. When
they reached the poetry the stuff was
so much better than the title that they
IA TO boom it,
Smiths great opportunity came
when the st. Paul put the Southwest
Limited train into service between
Chicago and Kansas City, when he
wrote the following about the train:
The new train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee e st. Paul railway passed
through Chula for the first time Sun
day night, about three hours after
dark There was no hesitation at
Chuia town, at least none perceptible.
Ihere are no high places in Chula
town, hence we question whether she
ever touched the track. She just
ripped a great fiery hole in the dark
ness and left the atmosphere heated
steam hot for Il second. then whistled
for Mantle or Chicago, we are not
certain which. If Central had not
been closed, we would have telephoned

mer sunlight, v%estibuled and electric

a hundred yards behind the last coach.
She is knee deep with velvet carpets,
and her cushions are as soft as a girls
cheek. She is lighted to a dazzle and
heated to a fragile. She vas built TO
beat the world, and her gorgeous
splendor makes us chuckle to think
we have a pass on her. She goes so
fast that the six porters look like one
big fat niger. She is called The

Mystery OF "a DuEau,.

Two well known citizens while div-
INK on the Washoe grade on an unfre-
quented road last Tuesday, observed a
dugout ON the slope OF a hill. They
inspected the place and found it con-
taiued a bed, stove aad provisions.
AT the foot Of the bed was the skeleton
OF a dog with a rope around the neck.
There we're two ends OF the rope hang
ing down below tho knot that fastened
it to the bed and they were partly
ohewed of, the dog having evidently
tried to release itself by biting the
the rope, but did not have the sense TO
chew of the right part, The owner OF
the dugout no doubt intended to return
when he left the place, but was probably
prevented from doing 30 either by u
natural or violent death, as he naturally
would not have left the dog to starve.
The dugout had evidently never been
visited by any person for years and the
skeleton OF the man found ON the shore
Of Washoo lake some time g may have
been that Of the owner. The dugout is
about three miles from Steamboat
