OLD FOLKS TOWN

PITTSBURG. Kan. Aug. 25.--
There is little town In Barton coun.
ty. Mo-, known as Pedro. with pop
ulation OF about 100, most of whom
are old people. Pedro used to have Q
postofice OF its own and had Its own
village organization and claims a life
OF so years or more. When the Kan
sas City, Springfield & Memphis rail
road was built through that section
OF Missouri, II touched at Pedro. Civ
ing the little station more business
than IL ever had before.
One day the Rev. @. w. Walz
came along and purchased tract OF
land on the opposite side of the rail
road track and started new town
Waller was Spiritualist and his
plans were to establish a Spiritualist
colony and make II the center Of the
cult In the western country. Because
of the fact that 1t was to be a Spirit
ualist town II was called Liberal.
The Missouri Pacific tracks are the
dividing line between Pedro and Lib
erai, and in the days when the found
er and his followers were at their
best in the town Of Liberal II was
folly for Pedro citizen to cross the
line over into Liberal unless he was
looking for trouble.
The spirits, however, left Liberal
or waned In their religious belief and
hostilities died down until the resi-
dents of the two towns were at peace,
and two years ago the Pedro resi-
dents agreed to abandon their post
Office and patronize the one at Lib
eral. Now 1t has only the distinction
left Of being the home of the most
old people OF any town in the United
States.

WANTED DIVORCES
PORTRAIT IN TOMB

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 25.AThe
death of T. Dart Walker, known ma
tionally as an artist, has brought to
light a pact between the artist and
q wealthy divorced woman OF Phila
delphia and an accompanying death
bed request that Is romantic In the
extreme. Re
Knowing that each breath might be
his last, Walker told an attendant al
a hospital the story Of an unusual
agreement with Mrs. Bettina Ben
nett, of No. 1913 Walnut-st. Phila
delphia. The pact was this: II Mrs
Bennett should die first he (Walker)
would kill himself, and IL he should
die arst her portrait should be buried
in his tomb.
In faltering words he made his last
request. II was that life-sized por
trait of Mrs. Bennett, which he paint
ed recently. should be placed within
his tomb.
Mrs. Bennett declares that she viii
not allow her portrait to be placed
In the tomb with the body OF Walker
She says the associations surrounding
the painting Of the portrait are tot

Walker was A years old. He wal
an authority on the navies of thu
world. His knowledge was respected
to such degree that he was selected
by former President Roosevelt to &C
company the American fleet when 4
|encircled the globe.
Just before he died he completed {
series of pictures depicting battles o
airships and dirigibies such as arr
being fought now by the air fleets o
the European countries. His activi
ties on battlefelds during the Balkan
war and Spanish-American war .ulti
mately caused his death. The strenu
GUS campaigns brought on hear
