Yesterday for few minutes there
was quite a panic in the store of
Foard & Stokes Hardware Company,
The Malleable Range man of South
Bend is having demonstration of
his range there. While filling the
reservoir, the store being crowded,
someone spilled lot of the cold
water on the range. When the cloud
of steam cleared away, the visitors
expected to see badly cracked top,
but we're much surprised to find it
all right The Malleable man ex-
planned to them that it is impossible
to crack his stove, and to prove it,
threw a piece of ice on it, The South
Bend Range is made of Malleabler
the unbreakable iron. 1t is impos-
sible to burn or fire crack it. He
then explained that it is also three
ply, being riveted together just like !
boiler. 1t is truly wonderful
range-a great baker and economies
of fuel, Everyone who visits this ex
hibit receives hot biscuits and a cul
of delicious coffee, and are presented
with handsome cook book and use
ful souvenir free.
You should also see the beautiful
premiums they are giving away thi
week to every purchaser Of a range
All who see the range admit
! would be cheap at twice the prie'
but the Malleable folks are generor
and very liberal with their patron
! All who fail to cali at Foard
I Stokes during the exhibit this wee
will miss treat.

GOODBYE TO HIS
CONGREGATION
(From Mondays Da!ly1

u lblu shNhha9 bAa'N y
Complimentary to Rev. C. y. n.
Ferguson, who conducted his last
services yesterday evening as pas
tor of the Polk Street Methodist
church, there was a special musical
program. There was a feeling OF
love strongly evidenced toward the
retiring pastor OF the church. Rev.
Ferguson has been in this city four
years and It is the simple statement
Of a truth 10 say that no man has
ever been more closely drawn to his
people than is the minister who
must, under the rules. of the con-
ference, leave this year. This fact
owasr fully developed in the meeting,
ReysttFerguson stated that his SER
mon would be a mere talk last even
ing and he was visibly affected by
reason OF the regard shown him.
Under the pastorate of Rev. Fer
guson the polk Street Methodist
church has developed into one of the
most powerful congregations in this
entire section of the state. The mag
niiicent building has been erected,
and the properties of the church
built up. l.4ere have been many
additions to the body here, and all
things have worked to a mast salts
factory conclusion.
The attendance was very large
one last evening, and at its close
the communicates pressed around
their leader and expressed for. him
their prayers and hopes for the flu
ture. The minister was scarcely less
effected than were the people.
Rev. c. n. n. Ferguson ieaves this
afternoon to attend the conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, at Waco. He vii return here
about two weeks from nov, prior to
his removal to his new work,

Did you ever read a PanhandI

Did you ever read Panhandle
snake story?
No?
Well, here is one-and a remark
able thing about the Panhandle
snake world is that there exists but
one poisonous species OF the snake
family over the north Panhandle,
and that one Is, as you have already
guessed. the RATHER.
Walter Ralston, whose home is at
Carthage, Ill.,, is a natural history
student who has beea trailing snakes
and other species OF reptile, in adj
dttion TO rare insects, over the Pan
handle during the last six months.
Ralston, when he gets good guam
tity on hand, ships his catch TO the
New York Geological park, to the
interest of which institution he gives
most Of his time.
Ralston is now in Amarillo. He
travels with a closely covered ''house'
wagon" He carries with him rare
collection Of reptiles, with which he
occasionally uses in natural his
tory lecture before public schools
when officials of various city and
town schools recognize the value Of
such TO the students, Ralston says
he meets with various receptions in
this regard. Some school boards
welcome it, and others want none o.
the. darn snake business" 1t al
depends on the breadth OF learning
OF the school board itself whether the
members will give the school chill
dren the benefit of most valuable
.-.,ia - in natural history. Ralstor
has letters Of thanks from number
OF school officials in various por
lions of the country, IN which thu
writers commend him for his gooc

connected those four big cities OF the
Middle West. Now the railroad it.
self has long since taken up the APP
pellation and advertises heavily in
the name which the people bestowed
upon it.
F. In nearly every official name which
a new road takes unto itself there Is
something striking which the public
takes up and makes It's own. About
five years ago when the Kansas City,
Mexico & orient began construction
toward Topolobampo on the Gulf OF
California, the people chose to know
It as the Orient" aud as the "Ori-
entr it will always be known. The
word, which amounts almost to a
slogan, is painted on all OF the road S
passenger coaches.

people of that locality as the Sap
1t is the san Antonio & Arkansas
Pass railroad, and the initials OF It's
name were taken up by the popular
tongue and made into word to
indicate the whOle--not very elegant
TO be sure--but It. seems to suit the
Texans. The initials in reality woulC
form such a combination as Saap,
but for convenience, one of the vow
els was dropped.
AS everybody knows, the rea'
name of the Burlington is the Chi.
cago, Burlington e. Quincy, but ever
the men connected with the road
seldom recognize the fact, Along
its line it Is sometimes called the

to call 1t the Cheapest, Best G.

There is a popularity about the
