Hee Ii was captain of a junk that
was caught in a typhoon off the coast
of China, according to this version of
the discovery of America. A bug
took refuge from the storm in the
compass of his ship and so disar-
ranged the apparatus that the sturdy
seaman, in following it's direction in
the manner to which he had been ac-
customed, kept his vessel headed
east instead of the way he intended
to go, and after many days landed
on new continent. It was not until
after he had made land that he dis
covered something to be wrong with
the compass and then the bug was
found.

tit, and he just naturally let every
fool operator on the line have the
! good news, and then every train crew
knew about it. Come morning, Billy
walks down to the station to get wire
transportation back to the division
end, because the marshal said nobody
hadn't appeared against him to pros
ecute the case, and he could go, and
the sooner the quicker.
When he gets to the station the OPP
orator was laughing fit to kill, and
handed him message to report at
once to the super's office. Well, he
gets onto the carpet right, and gets
thirty days for stealing fruit and de-
sorting his engine in the middle of
run, and lot more excuses, including
flirting with ladies. Guess the super
laid it on good and thick, all right.
Billy said he got real mad, and if
the super hadn't looked so much like
an athlete he would have hit him once
for luck any way, but he just took his
medicine and tried to laugh He says
the super told him that was bad form,
and that if anybody wanted to laugh,
they had ought to wait a while and
laugh last, because anybody that
laughs last always laughs best.
Then he told Billy that the agent
at Smithville wanted some help in
the freight house. account extra rush
of work, and even if they couldn't let
Billy fire, they would give him a nice
job jumping around behind a handy lit
tie truck.
Billy said he started to kick, but the
super just told him that he thought
by making heroic efforts, the road
might try to wiggle along without Bill
ly's valuable services, if they was in
clined to be pig-headed So Billy goes.
When he gets to Smithville he asks
the agent for a boarding place, and
the agent puts him off till night, and
then tells him he can get place with
the section foreman. Now, up to this
time Billy didn't know anything about
the girl being the foreman's girl.
Well, say, I wish I could have been
a little mouse that evening when he
goes home and finds lis captivator-
and captivator is right, too-serving
supper He told me afterward he
nearly wilted, but decided to face the
music, good and proper; so he walks
up and makes a fine apology; and
then she says it's all right, and he
gets two pieces of pie for supper, and
so on.
The rest is just like other ancient
history, so it amt worth telling in
detail, except that they live over there
in that white cottage. Yes, Bill has
had an engine now for quite a spell,
and he's all right, too.
What? oh, yes. You see, the girl
and the super's girl had went to school
, together somewhere, and was thicker
than two thieves. But still hold to
my argument that Billy hadn't ought
! to have laughed at her that day.
Who laughs last? Well, I guess 7
do. l got my finger in the pie once.
No, can't tell you now Maybe next
time I'm called now.

THE STARS TEN MINUTE STORY

Billy made a hit right off when he
came to work firing on the Eastern
Division, even If he was soft, and the
hot weather and the hard work did
make him sweat pretty hard He al
ways had a real hearty laugh at ev-
erything. l says to him one day:
BILLY" l says, "some one will get the
laugh on you right some day"
He never told us much about his
past but I got it from a yard-clerK
that he had been stenographer in
the super's office, and was out firing
for his health. He got it all right.
He was a great fellow for leaning
out of the window or gangway and
waving his hand at the girls. Any
old girl, anything that wore a skirt
he'd up and wave his hand at 1t, and
any old time, too.
He got turned down cold one day,
though, when he blows a nice kiss at
the super's daughter when we goes
past her, standing on a station plat
form, where they had a summer home.
Seems Billy didn't know her, but
did, account of her having rode in my
engine one day. When she turned
her back on him, he just laughed,
long and loud, and she heard him, too.
That same day, when we got into
well, let's say Smithville, that's as
good as any other name-we had a
lot of switching to do, and had to see
saw back and forth over the crossing
out of town. BY and by saw an aw-
full pretty girl coming along from
town, and 1 knew she was the daugh-
ter of the section foreman there.
Billy had been waving at her. along
with lot of others, and knew her
by sight. He had just put in a good
fire, and was up on his seat-box to
rest bit, and we had blocked the
crossing. forgot to say it was threat
ening rain pretty bad; and just as the
girl come along l had time to notice
she seemed pretty anxious about the
weather, and that she was carrying a
big armful of bundles like she'd been
downtown shopping.
She had a broom, too, stuck under
her arm, and l noticed it was slipping,
or looked to be, anyhow. Well, we run
ahead a bit, and then backed up to
shove some cars into the team-track,
and it begun to sprinkle pretty live
ly.
Billy was half way out of the win
dow and waving his hand to beat the
band, and she throws him one of the
sweetest little smiles you ever seen.
Real smile, that was, too. Not mite
like that one of the super's daughter,
No, sir!
Then I gets a signal to back up far
Their, and We cleared the crossing, and
her dainty little royal highness starts
across full speed. Started, 1 said. She
hadn't took more'n three steps be-
fore that cussed broom slipped down,
and the brush end landed plump in
front of her foot.
Don't know which foot, and, by gar
ry! it didn't seem to matter. She step
ped on it and tried to hold on to her
bundles and the broom and all at once.

WHO LAUGHS LAST.
(By Harry B. Lockwood.)


Next thing seen the poor thing stand
ing on her head in the middle of the
road, and bundles strung from a GER
tain place clean to breakfast. And
there was that cussed fool Billy lean
ing out the window laughing loud and
strident like a jackass.
Mad? Oh, no; it's mistake. She
jumped up and gathered up them par
cells like she wanted to kill something,
and without looking at us she trounc-
ed off down the road and there that
seventeen kinds Of fool just set and
laughed fit to kill
I told him he hadn't oughts to have
done it, and that him that laughs best
laughs last, but he didn't see it, and
just laughed some more. Just the
same I've found out that sympathy
goes a darned sight further with a
woman than all your bellering; and no
woman, even is she is a stranger or
not, wants dirty fireman handing out
lot Of raucous hilarity at her when
she amt looking just as prim as she
might.
Next time we went past there she
was out on the back porch, but she
didn't smile at bit-no, sir, not a mite
You know we were on the chain
gang then, like we are now, and may
be you'd get your fireman one trip,
and then maybe not for quite a while,
so missed Billy two or three trips;
then I got him again.
When we pulled into Smithville that
evening, it was getting dark, and
dropped down off the engine and went
up the track, while Billy was taking
water at the tank. Over into the sec
ton foreman's garden I climbs and
gets two or three nice tomatoes out
of his patch. Billy liked them first
rate, and when I told him where I
got them he spotted the place all right.
Next run we changed again, and l
was just leaving the office at Jones'
vile, after getting orders, when the
operator told me Billy had been arrest
ed at Smithville for stealing tomatoes,
and he was in the lookup then.
Billy told me about it afterward,
and said that that evening when they
pulled into Smithville siding to pass
No. II he slid off into the dark. and
picked two or three tomatoes. Had his
pockets full, I'll bet. Just as he turn
ed to go back to the engine there was
that girl, and by garry! she had a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun, too. She makes
him walk right out the front gate and
uptown to the marshaPs office, and
Billy's engineer whistling the town
crazy for him.
By and by they went out without
him, and reported losing him at the
next office. Meanwhile, Billy was be-
ing locked up tight in the little cal
aboose, and the marshal was making
a memorandum of how he had been
caught red-handed stealing vegetables

Fort Scott, Kan.-Kansas lost her
poet laureate when Eugene F. Ware
died at his summer home in Colorado
and western literature lost one of its
brightest geniuses.
Ware, known as "Ironquill," was a
poet In the minds of his friends the
last should come first, but personally
he always belittled his ability as a
poet, and instead of being proud of
his success he spoke disparagingly of
his verses. In this he was alone

attracted attention and he went to To-

poet under cover. His explanation for
this was: Il was afraid people

There were plenty of harness max

one standard remedy for all skin trou-

After two years in Washington he
returned to Kansas and took up his
residence in Kansas City, Kan. firing
of city life, he retired shortly before
his death to Sungold Section, fine
farm he acquired when he first came
to Kansas, and there he told his
friends he hoped ito die in the open"
His plans to die on the farm failed,
for he passed away soon after reach
ing Colorado, where he had been IN
the habit of spending the summers at
a place he owned on the Cascade.
He was well entitled to the appoint
lment of pension commissioner, for
during the Civil war he had a bril-
liant career covering four years and
ending as captain of a troop in the
Seventh Iowa cavalry
For one brief period Captain Ware
was in the newspaper business. This
was in Burlington, Ia, where for a
tin e, he was assistant editor of the
EHawkeye and started that paper on
its road to celebrity as a funny paper
When Captain Ware retired Bob"
became much quoted for it's funny say
ings.
Ware was born in 1871 in Hartford.
Conn, and was married in 1874 to
Miss jeanette B. Huntington. For
many years he was a familiar figure
in Topeka during session of the Kan
sas legislature and his wit and humor
made him much beloved, both by poll
cal friends and opponents. He was
member of the legislature in the early
rSOs.
When he left the office of pension
commissioner he wanted to show his
appreciation of IL heads of depart

the souvenirs were lined up on a table
and said; Gentlemen. You have

The appointment of Ware to be
commissioner of pensions was due to
Roosevelt's admiration for his poems.
In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his
way to the southwest to attend a re-
union of Rough Riders, he expressed
a desire to meet .1ronquill" and a
message was sent to Ware asking him
to meet the train and travel with the
president He did so and the friend
