QUEEN AND CRESCENT LIMITED MADE A
 PHENOMENAL TRIP

One of the fastest runs ever made on the Queen and Crescent route resulted last night in the operation of limited train No. 1, due here at 10:15, between this city and Chattanooga.
 The train in charge of Engineer Cy Parker, left Chattanooga 45 minutes late and he brought the train into the local terminal exactly on time. The regular schedule of the Queen and Crescent trains between the two points call for the maximum of train operations It is rare indeed that delay of over 15 or 20 minutes is recovered. The run last night doubled the general rule.
 Every train operation on the Alabama Great Southern division of the Queen and Crescent was normal yesterday. There were few delays even to freight trains while equipment was delivered at Chat tanooga exactly on time during the past twenty-four hours. This, despite the strike of the fremen, caused better general feeling yesterday among Queen and Crescent officials here.

STEER TAXES HARD
 RAP AT RAILROAD

Savannah, Ga, March 15.-Judge Emory Speer decided in favor of the government after a hard struggle be- tween counsel in the rate case against the Merchants and Miners Transpor- tation company, when he said "surely the defendant cannot be heard to de- fend one charge of crime by show ing it committed another"
 The defendant has all along admitted that it charged L. F. Miller 6 Co., of Philadelphia -only 10 cents a hundred pounds on grain shipments to Jack sonville and it is also admitted that the rate on file at that time in the mission. was 15 cents but the defense contended that all shipments from cer- tain territory were given the 10-cent rate.
 Judge Speer holds in his decision to- day:
 The law requires that the rate be filed and 1t makes no difference how widely rate may be known, yet if it is not on file when it is charged then the law is violated. The present indictment does not charge that the rate de facto was not filed, but that the rate on file was not charged.
 The defense now hinges upon the one word, "wilful' in, the indictment, an effort being made to show that the carrier did not "wilfully'' fall to ob- serve the established rate.
 Judge Speers' decision is regarded as a victory for the prosecution.

IN ALL THE WORLD NO TOWN
 LIKE THIS.

If you will mail me the coupon below. I will send you some positive proof how you can invest a few dollars each month in the fastest growing new town in the United States, Kene- flick. Oklahoma. l will tell you how it grew from a bald spot on the prairie to small city in a few s months, and the reasons why this great change was possible. It now contains modern buildings and im- proyements that are won derful for so short a time. There are people formerly from all over the United States making their homes at Kenefick, merchants with thousands of dollars invested in all kinds of merchandise, water that cannot be excelled for pur- ity, surrounding country the most productive In Ok lahoma, natural asphalt beds in unlimited quanti- ties, glass sand which will manufacture the highest grade of glass products, railroad facilities which are unequaled for so young a town.
 How could I sell over s10O,O00.00 worth of lots in this town during the past few months and have these investors build houses and business blocks, If the above assertions were not absolutely true?
 Kenefick property Is to- day the best investment possible for the small in- vestor; you pay no interest and get possession of your property after the first payment is made. Can you place a few dollars to any better advantage than put ting it in good, growing property like this that you can see any time you want? It is not like putting it in- to something that is con- trolled only by a few men, but into a town where al- ready 750 persons have in- vested their money, and where more than S10O,000.- % have been spent in sub stantial improvements. Where the president of the railroad which made this town possible, and from whom it derives it's name, invested nearly $17,000.00 In a modern two-story building; where I, myself. have invested many thou sands in erecting buildings which I now own and will not sell.

ly sometimes found himself feeling
lonely. and the oftener so as he grew
older. Every man who has a natural
liking for women.-and what true man
has not?-yet who has no intimate
friendships with or relations to the
other sex. Is likely to find himself In
that state of mind sooner or later.
Gormly was sufficiently aged; he was
forty-four although he looked much
younger. He was sufficiently expe-
rienced; he had dealt with women for
straight quarter Of century al
though he had neither loved nor mar
