GREAT Is THE AUTO.

IT j. Smith and family left this
morning in his automobile for Color
ado Springs. They will be back Sat
urday''
Items like this are frequent accur-
ance in the newspapers throughout
Kansas.
1t Is considered no more of an event
for T. ]. Smith to bundle his family
INTO an automobile and leave under
used to be for Mr.. Smith to get on
the train and go to Kansas City.
Inc automobile is the distance an
nlhllator; 1t is the machine which
foakes man Independent, to a consider
able extent, of the railway train. First
cousin to the locomotive and the pal
ace car, the automobile has them both
paralyzed, for the ownership of an en-
tire railroad system is put into the
grasp OF the ordinary citizen.
Does the train run into the ditch
Is there washout In the line? Is
there doubt about making a connec-
ton at the junction eleven miles away
Then go to the garage. hire car
and whirl off to your objective point
Independent of the great soulless cor
poration.
A great automobile spectacle is now
being produced for the benefit of the
populace. Half a dozen big touring
cars are racing madly across the con-
tinent, almost r1Vall1ng the railway
trains for sustained speed, blowing
through mud, laundering up hills and
flying along the long level stretches
with furious speed. Though there is
danger in such reckless driving, the
cars are in the hands of experts. and
considering what is accomplished, the
disasters are few.
The automobile is in the zenith OF
its power. Various perfecting devices
may be produced, the cost of the cars
may be cut. but as tireless monster
devouring distance the automobile is
now approaching perfection. Speed
viii necessarily be limited by condi'
tons of roads, highways and traffic
and these are conditions for which the
automobile itself is not responsible.
The automobile is the wonder of the
present century, as the airshi~ may
be the wonder of the next.-Salina Jour.

Will Live in Flagstaff.

Mir. A. Bourgeois. recently of Fl Paso, has located in Flagstaff per. manently owing to the splendid success he has met with in his line of work. Mir. Bourgeois is in truth a fresco artist. but is modest in his claims and merely says he is a gen. eral painter and paper hanger, ready to do your work and do it to your satisfaction. He came to this country from France some twenty five years ago, under contract to complete the mural decorations in the celebrated Notre Dame Cathed- ral at Montreal, and today this work stands unexcelled as a work of art in it's line. His work as carriage painter can be seen everyday on the stl eets of Flagstaff. MT. I. A
 Riordan and others for whom he has piled his art are warm it their praise of this genial French work man and are willing to recommend him to the people for any contract he undertakes. 1t is seldom that one of his ability takes up with general work in this manner, but the climate and the hills won him to Flagstaff and he is here to stay, and willing to accept any contract in connection with painting. lmo.

The minister was spending the aft
ernoon at the home of one of his mem
bers. The father told his little son
to bring some apples from the cellar.
The child obeyed, and in the kitchen
found an especially large red one
which had been brought up the day
before, so placed it on the dish with
the others.
When they were passed this was
the apple the minister took, and feel
ing it so warm, remarked to his host
that the cellar must be very warm.
