very small village and in all the coun-
try west of there a pillow had never
been stuck into the sod.
Il ran through Abilene in the days
when Wild Bill Hickok was town mar
shall, and through Hays when Bill
Cody now famous as Buffalo Bill, was
marshal there. Many time l saw
the body Of man swinging from tel
egraph pole. In those days railroad
trains in the west were infested with
three-card monte men, and | knew
Canada Bill, the notorious confidence
man, who used to operate on the
trains out of Kansas City.
Il was well acquainted with Jim
Bridger the Indian fighter, scout and
trapper who discovered Bridgers pass
through the Rockies. l hauled him
many mile.
Il hauled the rush of gold seekers
to Denver and Deadwood, and later to
Cripple Creek. | hauled the millions
of immigrants who first settled Kansas
and Colorado, for ours was for many
years the only railroad from Kansas
City to the west.
"One of my duties in those early
days was to see that the tallow
candles in the cars were lighted when
dusk came. 1t was several years be-
fore we got oil lamps, and years more
before we got gas light. We had no
;.ir brakes, but eased the train down
at stops with old-fashioned wheel
brakes operated by hand. Our en-
| gines then were much smaller than
those in use now, and so were the pas
| senger coaches. An average coach
would carry 40 or so persons"
In his As years of railroading Mr..
Lightcap never had an accident that
| injured anyone, never had passenger
killed and was never injured himself.
He never had an adventure that he
thinks is worth telling, either. His
splendid health and physical condition
refute the general belief that railroad
ing is injurious in the long run. He
owns the cottage in which he lives,
and that, together with the pensions
from the government and the railway
comoan, are all has.

FREIGHT RATES OLD PROBLEM
Governments and the transportation
Lines WraneIed Over the Sub
Jeet 1900 Years Ago.

II is interesting to learn from
papyTus in the University museum
that the high cost of living and exces-
sive freight rates were issues at least
1.S00 years ago, and IL is a peculiar
coincidence that the complaint arose
in Theadalphia, a name closely allied
to our own city, which is now wres-
Ting with the cost of food and the
rates on anthracite coal. 1t seems as
If there is nothing new under the sun,
the same issues prevail and the same
struggle is being waged.
However, 1t seems certain that we
are much better off than the fellahin
of Egypt in the apostolic age, or even
than the small landed proprietors, who
had to pay as much freight as the
traffic would bear" for transportation
on the Nile. We get glimpse of life
under the Ptolomies in Egypt, when
the country was drained to furnish
Rome with food. 1t is an amazing
thing that in the Fayoum district,
which is little pocket to the west
ward of the Nile, flimsy records on
papyrus should have been preserved
to this day. This is only possible in
a land of perpetual dryness. Egypt
| has thriven without rain through two
millenniums because the necessary
water comes not from the skies, but
along the Nile from the center OF
| Africa.
Eighteen centuries may seem Iona
time to us, but at the time the com
plant Of freight rates was mentioned
there had been at least 5000 years Of
recorded history in Egypt, and un
! doubtedly many millenniums which
left no record. The poor fellahin, the
actual cultivators of the soil, com

ECZEMA DlSFIGURED BABY

Ridgefeld, Conn.-"My baby was
cross and restless and fretted night
and day. One morning i discovered
that her body was all broken out In
small water blisters, and / was told
she had the eczema the worst way.
The eruption first looked like little
water blisters, then it turned so It
looked like piece Of raw meat. 1t

could not rest at night. Her clothing
was very irritating to the body, and
when it was removed her body was
raw. We had her treated for about
two months when 1t spread all over
her body. face and head and seemed to
grow worse all the time.
Il took good warm water and Cuti-
acura Soap and lathered it all over her
and allowed it to dry on and then
when it was thoroughly dry l applied

Unsafe Safety Devices.

A New England railroad man said
at a luncheon in Boston:
"The way some people talk, you'd
think that there were a thousand
safety appliances, any one of which,
applied to American trains, would
abolish accident and loss of life for
ever.
There are, it is true, an abundance
of safety devices for trains. These
We are testing one by one, just as fast
as we can. But very, very few OF
them prove, on running train, to dc
the things they do on paper.
"The average safety device, indeed

Mr.. Lghtcap saw many changes in
the methods of railroading. When he
went to Omaha in 1868 it was from
Pittsburgh, Pa, where he had gone
after being mustered out of the Union
army. He was in the Fourteenth Penn
sylvania cavalry and was in every
principal battle in the east from the
second battle of Bull Run to the sur
render at Appomattox
When l began as a passenger con-
ductor from Kansas City to Brook
VILE" he said, Abilene was the north
ern end of the long cattle trail from
Texas. There was not a house north
of the railroad, where the principal
part of Abilene is now, and l have
seen thousands of Texas cattle grazing
there. In all of the country for miles
east Of Abilene, where rich farms are
now, there was not settler and the
sod was unbroken. Salina was q

OF course, this low necked effect
with tailor-made coat Is not really
attractive. 1t is charming with house
frocks and summer gowns, but when
the coat with heavy outside collar is
worn there is bare, unfinished sort
of look. In the winter the heavy, wind.
ing furs obviate this, and in the sum.
mer the scarfs and feather boas serve,
but there are also dainty little ruffs
designed for the same purpose. They
are fashioned Of tulle or maline, are
soft and fluffy, and very becoming to
old and young, and any girl who
is clever with her needle can make
one at home.
For instance, one model, which is
one of the fullest kind, is composed
of four layers of double malines, and
each layer is finely plated, The
malines should be folded double SO
that the upper edge is fold edge.
