Obituary

After several days of acute suf-
feriDg, little Ozie Mcclure passed
from earth and sought sweet fell
lowship with the angels arounc
Gods throne. Everything wa.
done that loving hands could do tc
ease her suffering, but God took
her for His own and trans
planted this beautiful tender Aowel
as pure as the driven snow, il,
His heavenly garden there to shed
its sweet fragrance throughout all
eternity, never to grow old but to
remain forever pure aud sweet
Her sweet baby face will be sadly
missed by her father, little sister,
aunt and Annie. But when Jdea !
shall claim the dear ones left be-
hind, little Ozie will come to meet
them. Peacefully her body rests
in the tomb. Sorrow will never
disturb her for she is safe and Sc.
cure at home with God.
A Friend.

Express Business Increases

Another fine Indication Of til
excellent condition of business in
Liberal, is the increase in the re-
ceipts Of the express office here
j. w. Peyton, local manager OF
the u. S. Express Office, informed
q reporter for the Democrat that
the total of business transacted for
the company here in October
showed about 5000 increase over
the corresponding month OF last
year, November showed an IN
crease of little over $500. De-
cember has started out with a rush
which will probably not subside
until after the holidays. 1t is al
most certain that December will
also show a nice gain, and Mana
ger Peyton expects the total re-
ceipts for this month to pass the
$4,000 mark.

Nearly thirty of her friends were

A peculiar fact was discovered
during the evening, in that all ex-

had started into the Liberal
schools to Mrs. Mary +. Todd,
now county superintendent of this
county.

Go After The Railroads
Editor the LiberaI Demooret:

Editor the Liberal Democrat:
/ haye just read a good article
in your newsy, up-to-date paper
about railroads, in which you say:
There is a growing sentiment
in this country against bonding or
giving bonus to railroads." This
might be justi6able under certain
conditions, but not upon general
principles. The roads generally
go to the towns that want them, in
a substantial way; otherwise they
buy land and lay out town sites of
their own. Then that missed town
weeps and mourns the rest of its
days over a lost opportunity.
Railroads help to make town
and to develop the country round
about it and that is just what we
want at Liberal. Here is the fin
est body of land we have seen for
many a day, and Liberal is one OF
the most pushing, hustling towns
in the Southwest. 1t has every
uatursl and acquired outlay for a
city of 10000 in the next five
years. The business men Of this
city. in my opinion, should organ
ize a commercial club, and go af
ter the railroads, and everything
else that will help build up the
best city in the Great Golden
West" If we travel over Okla
homa we will see that the large
cities and towns went after thu
railroads. The small ones and thu
dead ones are kicking themselve.
For not doing so. Let US get busy;
for our day of opportunity is al
hand, and the time of our victory
lraweth near. Now. in all th!
getting get railroads. So shall IL
be we'll with thee and thy children
and all of the inhabitants round
about"
Mr.. Editor accept my congrat-
ulations for the Democrat, which
is one of the best weekly papers
| have read in long time. Lib
eral is to be congratulated on hay
,ng two good papers working un-
piringly for the best interests q
Ill the people. In harmony and
unity there is strength. Let US
stand together for a larger and
more modern city, as we'll as a
better developed country, for The
morning of a new day is upon US
Here is hearty amen" for sue
cess.

NOOh pAaSOs
Twas there the frenzied man was seen
With hopeless, troubled face.
The stranger man would fain beSons
From him of haggard eye;
Besides, the aisle was crowded with
The folks who would go by,
IT pray thee" said the stranger man,
go chase thyself from me-"
"Ah, SIR" the other man implored-
A woeful wight was he.
"a tortoise comb, q pair of skates,
A whole carload of toys.
Some things beside for all my friends,
. And for their girls and boys.
and here l am; and l am here;
The things-oh, where are they4
For male and female clerks consplre
To hide from me the way.
But this know, and this alone;
Three alsles across, then back,
Four counters down, one counter up,
Then double on your track.
1.-THE elevator takes you next,
To land you otherwheres,
And when you weary of Its crowd,
You amble down the stairs.
"But still-but still. my honest friend,
You do not reach the goal
IT'S always ON the other slde,'
1t is upon my soul!
80 here am l, and am here,
And you are standing by,
l care not where the things may be.
But where the deuce am ~"
They led him to an ambulance,
Although he did resist,
And now In padded cell he cons
His Christmas shopping list.
He shrieks upon the midnight clear,
And on the monday air
Three aisles across, two counters back
Then up and down the stair"
Oh, foolish men, take heed OF this,
Before you go to shop,
And when you reach the outer door,
Tear w your List and stop.

Earliest Railway Guides.

The first railroad guides were mere
children's books compared with pres
ent-day productions. says the London
Globe. The first Bradshaw contained
six pages only. The date of the origin
of Bradshaw is generally given as 1889,
and about that time there were other
guides in existence which were no less
interesting, but which eventually died
out and passed into the limbo Of for
gotten things. One OF the earliest was
entitled Lacey's Railway companion
and Liverpool and Manchester Guide.
It was very friendly production, de-
scribing the scenery through which
the railway passed, and pointing out
to the visitor at both places all that
is interesting and necessary for busl
ness and pleasure" 1t was published
at Liverpool. and was on sale in Lon
don as we'll as in the northern towns
at the price of one shilling. Though
this old guide does not possess any
date, it contains advertisements for
the ANIMALS and almanacs for 1885,
which provides clue as to the time
of its origin, and shows 1t to be prob
ably the first railway guide ever pub
lished. As there were only some
twelve trains starting daily, they did
not occupy much space, and the guide
was expanded to rs pages by a de-
scription of the coast and construc-
ton of the line.

Early School Books.

The horn book Invented in 1850 and
used considerably up to the close OF
the eighteenth century was the usual
textbook of the elementary school. A
thin slab Of hard wood was covered
with parchment, On which was printed
the capital and small letters. numerals
and some elementary syllables and
words.
Over this q thin sheet Of transpar.
ent cows horn was placed and firmly
bound SO that no moisture could pene-
trate. To this the Bible and the sam
pier on which little girls painfully
stitched the letters of the alphabet.
some "Godly saying and a border Of
herring stitch, or some conventional
pattern of impossible flowers and foil
age and the legend Mary Smith. her
sampler" or the like, were about all
that the children used up to the be-
ginnjag OF the eighteenth century.

railway in tho country and you will
find that the men who are giving or
ders are getting pay checks that look
mighty small beside the checks Of
those who are 'bossed.'
Take the trainmaster. for instance.
He gets . title and $3.50 a month or
80. He plunks down in his ONCE and
tells the conductors how to run their
trains and the engineers how to take
the sidings and calls them down
when they make mistakes. And the
chances are that the engineer who is
getting the orders makes 5000 a
month. He is being bossed by man
who gets $50 less for every 80 days
that he works. The conductors check
may be as large or even larger than
the engine drivers.
Think of leaning back in an easy
chair and telling a man that you'll
give him $50 more than you get If he
works for you. Then, II he doesn't
suit you after he's been on the road
for a time, you call him In. take his
job away from him, and give some ono
else the 5000 month. while you

According to the trainmaster. half
the railroad Officials" whose names
appear in big print on the time cards
are receiving less wages than those
whom they employ. The average chief
dispatcher, who does the major part
Of the real work in operating rail-
road, earns $500 and gets s175
month
The division passenger agent, who
gives orders to the passenger conduc-

as buffer between the travelling pub
lie and the complaint department. and
who has other troubles, varied and nu-
merous. finds his pay check amount
Ing to $125, $3.50 SITS.
There are exceptions. Of course, to

A Romano. Of War Times.

Shellman Heights. the most famous
colonial mansion In Georgia, which was
saved by Gen. w. T. Sherman when he
was marching thru Georgia, because he
loved its mistress when he was cadet
burned the other day.
Mrs. William Shellman, misterss OF
the mansion, was Miss Cecilia Stovan
before marriage. and as n girl spent her
summers at West Point She was rare
iy beautiful, and w. T. Sherman and j.
w. Hooker, who were cadets at the
time, fell in love with her and tried TO
marry her, but she rejected them for a
southern man.
During the war General Sherman and
General Hooker led their troops thru
this section OF Georgia. Upon APP
preaching Shellman Heights the sol
diers OF General Sherman started to
ransack the mansion. whereupon a
negro servant asked: "Oh. Lord
