this horse came from Utah, ! named
him Brigham. after the prophet. Dur
ing the construction of the Kansas Pa
ritic railroad. now the Union Pacific. in
1867 the construction Of the end of the
track got into the great buffalo coun-

Sioux. Cheyennes. Comanches and Arap-
ahoes-were all on the warpath. 1t
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the butfaloes SO that they
could have fresh meat to eat. This
was little more difficult job than
they thought. as the Indians were con-
testing every mile of railroad that was
being built into their country. Besides
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing of the road carried rife with him
as we'll as pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him. as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction Of that road in
1867 was nearly continuous fight,
and it was dangerous for man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring it into camp so that
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two Of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so. and
the others gave up the job.
At that time was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan, and had quite a
reputation as a buffalo hunter. Some
one told the main contractor that II he
could get me l would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. OF

The subject was even discussed at

main labor problems In the great work
Of constructing the great transconti

A PARTISAN RUsE.
The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared

The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared
the Americans
Grace Margaret Gould tells in the
some of the ways the Partisan dress
making establishments sell their goods
to American women. Here Is one ruse
that she saw worked In one of the big
gest establishments in Paris:
There was q sudden and evident
commotion among the employees
1.-THE princessi The princessl She
has arrived!7 they cried.
American eyes began to bulge.
Out from a magnificent equipage
stepped a regally gowned grand lady.

ceived by the whole bowling estab-
lishment. 30 the neglect of all other
customers. She was in a %graciou7

praising their past efforts and select
ing several of their new creations with
out regard TO cost. After she had
made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need of the sales
woman ~bothering her head over sug-
gestions. Every American woman
present wanted a gown copied from
the one the princess had bought. and
she got It after much pleading and al
a price far beyond the limit she hat
set.
Add the point of this fable is this
The princess was no princess. but al
employee of the house.
Every French gown has two prices
an American price and a French price
1t is needless to say which Is the
greater price.
Along about April the cry goes up.
THE Americans are comingg' and then
the prices 60 up too.
Along abuut November. when the
Americans have left, you might almost
say they are giving away gowns. only
the Frenchman does give away
anything. Then it is that the French

Every year with dwindling number,
Loyal still to those that slumber,
Forth they march to where already many
have found peace at last.
And they place the fairest blossoms
Ger the silent, mold'ring bosoms
or the valiant friends and comrades of
the battles OF the past.
Every year grow DINNER. duller,
Tattered nag and faded color:
Every year the hands that bear them find
a harder task to do.
And the eyes that only frightened
When the blaze of battle lightened,
Like the tattered flags they follow. are
grown dim and faded toe.
Every year we see them massing,
Every year we watch them passing.
Scarcely pausing In our hurry after pleas
ure, after gain,
But the battlef1ags o them
Seem to bend and bless and love them.
And through all the lifting music sounds
an undertone OF pain.

FACE ABOUT

More than one travelling salesman
has remarked that one of the charac-
teristics of Paducah is group of
merchants, who harp on nothing but
the hard times. "Paducah must have
been struck pretty hard, is the ex-
preston on the road" said one drum
mer, who was in the city last week.
If that is so. 1t is time for the
calamity howler" to cease his clam
or. IL hurts in places We would least
expect 1t to affect the city. Paducah
was not hit unusually hard by the
panic. While other cities had bank
failures. Paducah's Institutions wealth
cred the panic without the slightest
uneasiness. The scholastic census
shows an increase of ten white chill
dren from last year. Greensboro
shows a decrease of more than a hun
bred and Lexington of 1000. The
presence of people indicates that Pa
ducah has not lost its attractiveness
to workers, as Owensboro and Lex
ington have. Mills are all starting up
and some industries are expanding.
The volumes of wholesale business
and retail trade are practically nor
NAL. The railroad talk has reached
a stage that no longer leaves a doubt
of better shipping facilities and an
of the retail trade by in
terurban lines Building trades are
better employed this spring than for
several years.
Most people seem to see the rosy
future. We trust those, who are
looking back at the hazy record of
sOS. now five months past, will turn
about and look ahead. We can travel
Faster, facing that way, and keep
closer together

that on reaching the ground contact
