They Use Headlights.

Down at Tyron, Okla, just across
the Kansas line, the town boys are
still smoking on a Kansas City
travelling man, just because Tyrone
is on the longest stretch of straight
level track on the Rock Island system
and the trains on the road have
powerful headlights.
The travelling man in relating the
story, said:
81 had been on the road for a Kan
sas City house six years through Kan
sas before they finally extended my
territory to take in Oklahoma Pan
handle. / thought I was a seasoned
traveller until L took my first trip
down there.
The first town 1 made across the
line from Liberal was Tyrone. 1 had
spent the afternoon there and intend
ed to take night train back to Lib
eral. A bunch of us were sitting on
the front porch of the Commercial
hotel playing cards when / saw a
headlight looming up down the
track. l made a rush for my grips
and yelled at the boy to get his cart
and take 'em over to the depot quick.
! didn't wait for his answer, but ran
over to the depot and, rushing up to
the window, demanded a ticket to
Liberal"
i" 'How's this, said to the agent,
L thought this train wasn't due for
an hour, and here she is not mile
away?'
Mister, he replied, you had bet
ter go back to the hotel and buy Gig
ars for that bunch. This is your first
trip down here, amt it? Well, ]
thought so. That headlight is just
forty-nine miles away: you got pretty
near an hour to finish that game OF
pinochle. This is the longest stretch
of straight track in the country
seventy-siX miles-clear across the
panhandle without curve. You see
that house over there? That's where
1 live. 1 don't have to light up un-
til after 9 O'Clock winter nights.
About sundown the Golden State
Limited looms up down about Texho-
ma and she shines right into my
kitchen window for an hour, finally
getting so bright that my wife has &c
pull the curtain, and ten minutes be-
hind her comes thirtyfour and it
takes her seventy minutes to get by
with her light. It's a great saving
for me-, and my wife won't wash
dishes by anything but electric light
l never have to cali the dispatcher tc
get the time on trains. I climb to
the roof of the station, get a line OF
the headlight and mark up my board
accordingly. y.''-Hutchinson News.

I read the story the other day of a
woman on whom had been embroid
cred the scarlet letter. / knew her
back in the days of her girlhood when
the sunlight of purity shone through
her soul. know when she first turn
ed her head for second away from
the straight and narrow path ahead
1t was when she began to lie to her
mother She would stay out late and
then go home and lie mean, miserable
lies to the very one she should have
confided in above all on earth. Lying
to mother became an art with her
and she soon began to deceive her in
other ways She put mother farther
and farther away from her. No long
er were their helpful AND. confidential
chats with the good sou whose love
never waned through the dark days
With that one strong and steady
anchor gone the poor soul began to
drift aimlessly on the storm tossed
sea of sin. The waves rolled higher
and higher and finally all that was
precious and sacred was wrecked on
the shores of disgrace and dispair.
Had there been no lie to mother that
scarlet letter would not have appear
ed to shine and mock through the
years until eternty's ring--Osborne

Kansis City, Mo-, Nov. 20.-Eight
officials and agents OF the Florida
Fruit Lands company were indicted

PRIVATE N
HOLD TOO MUCH
Their Control Of Water Power De.
n0mnced. Would Check 1t Now.

Washington, Nov. Op.-Monopolistic
control of water power in private
hands today was denounced by the
National Conservation congress which
adjourned here late today. Accom-
panying this denunciation was a dec
laration hat no water power rights
owned by the public ever should be
removed from public ownership.
The climax of the water power
fight, which had agitated the congress
for several days, came after the com
Imittee on resolutions TO which had
been referred divergent reports from
the waterways committee submitted
that the matter had been taken from
its hands yesterday by action of the
convention in adopting genera prin-
ciples upon which the waterways com
mittee agreed. No mention of the
majority or minority reports, which

COTTON FUTURES
McLa"-in Proposes Heavy Tax on In
terState Traffic. Would Remedy Evils.

New York, Nov. 1S.-EX-Senator
John l.. McLaurin of South Carolina.
proposed a plan for ending objection
able gambling in cotton futures, in an
address today to a committee from
the New York cotton exchange which
is considering changes in the rules
to meet criticism directed against
present methods. Mr.. McLaurin said
the failure of congress to enact legis-
lation at this session imposing a tax
on dealings in cotton options was due
to the fact that no plan had been de-
vised to destroy gambling in CON
tracts which does not also involve the
destruction of legitimate business
necessary to keep open such channels
OF trade as could not be closed with
out disastrous effects.
Mr.. McLaurin said the present sys-
TEN was Objectionable because cotton
prices made on the New York eX-
change We're based upon the supply
OF cotton in New York warehouses.
AS this stock of cotton is only a com
p~aratively small part of the total, he
said, it was possible for SPECTATORS to
manipulate prices for gambling pur-
poses in a day which would otherwise
not be possible.
Under present methods, contracts
made on the New York exchange call
for delivery Of warehouse receipts
for cotton stored in New York ware
houses. Mr.. McLaurin suggested
that the plan for a tax on cotton on
tons which was considered recently
by congress he amended to provide
for a heavy tax on all contracts made
through all exchanges in the United
States provided that cotton delivered
in the State in which it is grown be
exempt from the tax.
What would you do then?" he
said. Your New York stock of cot
ton would be absolutely valueless for
the purpose of initiating or depressing
prices. You could not afford to de-
liver cotton except in the South. Why
should not the great New York eX-
change get in the van and lead this
progressive movement, instead of
being driven by a congressional lash"
