SALOON BAR $50 FEET LONG.

From The Kansas City Journal.
James Flanagan, pioneer saloon man
who has made fortune in the retail liquor
trade. and who is one of the richest men
of his class m Kansas City. will quit the
dramShOp business ON January I. 1910
Flanagan's saloon at the state line
is said To contain the longest bar i'm the
world. measuring nearly a hundred and
fifty feet, and the average number OF pa
irons has been placed at about three thou
sand. A night bartender at that place has
small opportunity To loaf on his Job
The present saloon. located in a one
story brick building. which was made for
the purpose, was opened about twenty
years ago. The property has a width Of
fifty feet. and beside II is the. Burlington
Railroad track. which marks the dividing
line between Kansas and Missouri
Twenty-siN years ago Flanagan not long
from Ireland. started I'm the saloon bust
ness His original location was in a frame
building adjoining the present saloon The
prohibition Law had just gone into effect
I'm Kansas. and Flanagan. with good busi-
ness instinct, saw that the nearer ss-
loon was Ia the state line the better its
business possibilities would be. lie decided
10 take no chances. so he bought the fifty
feet that measured up 10 the state line
itself.

that il exercises franchise, il can tax IL

The reports Of the blooming of violets
and other wild flowers which are now
coming in from various places should
excite no great surprise. The present
fall has been more than ordinarily mild
and open. and il may be that flowers are
blooming a little more numerously than
in other years. But il is not an un-
heard of nor even a very uncommon
thing for viOlets to appear in Novem-
ber, while as for dandelions, To which
attention has lately been called, il is
seldom that they have not been in bloom
al this season. 4 few years ago there
was a perfectly well authenticated rec
ord of their appearing in every month
of the year in Prospect Park Also in
that year there were roses blooming in
the open air on Thanksgiving Day i'm
Prospect Park. while several apple trees
at New Utrecht were almost as fun of
blossoms as in spring. The eccentrlci-
ties of our climate are manifold, and il is
not safe 10 regard any of them as unique.
