Between 4,00O,O 900 and 5000, 900
miles is the amazing distance said to
have been travelled by Mr.. James
Guest, the doyen of Great Northern
express drivers, who has just retired
after half a century of honorable serv.
ice. If this estimate is at all accurate,
Mr.. Guest Is probably entitled to rank
as the champion long-distance trav-
eler of the world, although he has had
a formidable rival in Mr.. Benjamin
Jeans, who, during his "a years serv.
ice as guard on the London & Birken-
head express, is credited with having
travelled 10000 0 miles, or more than
the equivalent of 160 journeys round
the equator.
Mr.. John Higginbottom, a veteran
engine driver on the Midland railway,
completed 2,000,0 900 miles on the foot
plate a few years ago; and Mr.. Robert
Maybank, who served so years as en-
CINE driver on the London & South

Denmark, vas credited with a similar

A DoubIe-Edced Joke.

James Scarlet, the attorney for the
commission which is investigating the
fraud in Pennsylvania $13, 600, 900
state capitol, is a great huntsman,
and one of his sporting companions
in his Montour county home is Charles
Thorp.
Both men keep dogs, and not long
ago Thorp walked into Scarlet's law
office to inquire:
Jim, what do you do when another
mans dog invades a mans shop and
eats a ham,"
why" said the attorney, make the
owner pay for the ham,"
WELL" replied Thorp, sit was your
dog; the ham will cost you $685."
Scarlet dug into his pocket and
drew forth the money. He paid it to
Thorp, who, laughing heartily, started
out of the Office.
Hold on" called Scarlet; $50 from
you for legal advice"
And he collected the money.

Home Trade Hints.

A dollar spent at home stays around
home and may return to you after a
few days.
If you want to make your own town
prosperous you will spend your money
in you own town in preference to
some bigger burg a long way off.
The way to start a wagon out of the
1mire is for all the horses to pull to-
gether. One way to pull together is
for everybody to patronize home indus
tries whenever possible.
Money in circulation around the
town you live in is much bett-. for
your interests than the same money
in circulation in a city hundreds OF
miles away. Your dollar is lonesome
in a big city, but 1t has friends around
home and is therefore more useful.

E GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize the Mer
chants of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
ing with your home business people,
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit, you a go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: If a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market. thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.

H STORY.

CAMUEL watched with more than
- usual interest the preparations
which were going forward for the SOL
emn celebration of the Passover feast,
for not only vas he to have a part
in the celebration but he knew his
mother would come. 1t had been a long
year to the young boy. His brave little
heart had found comfort in the
thought that he belonged to the Lord
and that he was in the temple to serve
him, but at times there was the hun
gering in his heart for the love and
comfort which only a mother knows
how to bestow. But she had faith
fully prepared him for the separation,
for from his earliest recollection she
had filled his heart and thought with
the place he was to take in the tenn
pie service, and when at last the
time had come that he was to go I'D
with her to Shiloh, a childish sense of
the dignity and Importance made him
brave and willing to remain behind
while his mother returned home. AS
she had embraced him and pressed a
warm, tender kiss upon his brow at
parting she had said:
Remember, son, against another
year l will come hither to see thee.
See how much of good thou canst
have to tell me concerning thy serv-
ice in the Lords house"
He had often thought of the words.
and they had comforted him in the
lonely hours and encouraged him
when his heart had grown faint and
weary with the m%onotonous routine of
the simple daily tasks. He had been
brave and steadfast and so apt and
faithful a student had he proved that
at last he had been included among
those who played upon the musical in
struments in the temple service, and
his first thought had been of his
mother and how proud and pleased
she would be or her return at the
time of the feast now ear at hand to
find him filling such a place.
So impatiently he had counted the
days until the first day of the feast.
He well knew that his mother would
come then and scarcely did sleep
come to his eyes the night before,
because of the happy expectation
which filled his heart. Before the
light had begun to break in the east
he had left his couch in the little tent
which adjoined that occupied by the
high priest Eli, and was waiting to ex-
tinguish the lights in the temple.
As he stood there with eyes turned
towards the east watching eagerly for
the coming of the day, his mind went
back yer the experiences of the year.
He recalled his first day in the temple
service; of how strange and big it
seemed, AID be had wondered wheth-

Lesson of the Passover.

If the lesson of the plaques is a
mighty warning, that of the Passover
is an abiding comfort and confidence.
God, it teaches US, is round about his
people, and no harm can befall those
chat trust in him. One of the most
wonderful proofs of Christianity is
the exact parallelism between this
browning event of the Old Testament,
the Passover, and the browning event
of the New Testament, the sacrifice
upon Calvary of the Lamb of God. In

was at it's highest, he also died, with
out blemish, and no bone was broken.

UNCLE BILL WAS "SANTA"
Well-KnOwn Dallas Pioneer Gave
Candy to Four Hundred
Children, Wednesday.

Hon. W. O. Brown bestowed over 1873
pounds Of candy upon the children Of
Dallas Wednesday, as a Christmas
present. "Uncle" Bills reputation for
unbounded benevolence, and his strik.
ing and novel methods Of manifesting
it, are known throughout the Pacific
States, and this last plan of his shows
the same ingenuity which is character
istic OF everything that he attempts.
1t had been announced that on
Christmas day, between the hours Of
10 and - o'clock Mr.. Brown would
distribute candy to the children of Dal-
las, at .. S. Loughary's grocery store.
Promptly at the beginning of the
appointed hour the delegations Of
youthful citizens began to arrive, and
In spite of the heavy rainfall that made
the day gloomy and unpleasant, the
run on the grocery store continued
un1ntermittently throughout the
entire two hours.
Inside the store "Uncle" Bill dis
pensed candy with a lavish hand, see
ingtoit thatevery child got enoughand
to spare. After the time of giving had
ceased it was found that nearly 400
children had called at the store and
received candy, making it probably
one of the largest Christmas gifts, and
one having the most far reaching
effects, that has ever been given by
any individual in Dallas.

information.
In addition to the general program
Of Saturdays meeting, II. M. burst

suggestions and information which
will doubtless be of great benefit.
Their presence is thought by some to

in the near future.
The committees on resolutions and
acreage will meet Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock for the formulation Of
their reports, which will be laid before
the association at the general meeting
in the afternoon.

SHOW FINE CHICKENS
Over Two Hundred Birds Are On
Exhibition i'm Dallas This
Week.

The first annual show Of the Polk
County Poultry Raisers' Association
opened yesterday morning, and
promises to be a complete success.
The implement room in the building
OF the Dallas Furniture Company is
being used as an exhibit hall, and
serves the purpose admirably, being
roomy, well lighted and easily heated.
Over 200 fowls were on exhibition
yesterday, and every one was a truly
excellent proof Of what careful and
scientific breeding can do. Nearly all
Of the ordinary breeds Of poultry were
represented, from the chesty little
Bantam to the stately Langshan.
Wyandottes, White Plymouth Rocks
and Brown Leghorns seemed to pre-
ponderate, although there was a large
exhibit Of Rhode Island Reds and
Black Langshans.
Elmer Dixon, Of Oregon City, will
act as Judge, and the prizes will be
awarded as soon as he completes his
examination Of the various exhibits.
The attendance on the first day was
large, the people showed great interest
in the show, and there is every indica-
tion Of still greater crowd today and
tomorrow.
