John Blair, head ofthe great prod
uce house of Blair & Co., stared in
blank wonder as he slowly repeated
the strange words his old trusted Of
flee manager had just spoken
'You wish to rent the house l am
going to close up during my sixty
days vacation?"
eff it is possible to do so, yes, Mr..
Blair came the prompt reply from
Robert Dunn.
do you know what that would
cost you? Why, the servants includ-
ed, it would cost you $500 month"
81 will give you check for $1,000
in advance, sir"
Mr.. Blair stared harder than ever
at his employee.
Are you entirely in your senses,
DUMB" he demanded sharply.
Entirely so,' came the reply in
even, decided tones. 81 have an OBJ
ject, sir-an object most dear to my
heart. My aged father and mother
are coming to visit me. There is
one glad sweetness in their life-my
presumed success. They live 1000
miles from here. For the first and
the last time they are coming east
to witness the high position their
only son has reached. 1t would spoil
their lives if disappointed their fond
belief in my riches and business posi-
ton. No, no, SIR proceeded Robert
more rapidly-'I have been doing no
boasting. An old neighbor, passing
through the city here, mixed me up
with the Mr.. Dunn who is the head
of the big grain house across the
way. He. carried the news of my
grandeur back to the humble little
village where my parents live. The 10
cal papers glorifed me in bombas-

joy could trace that from the

HOUSE SlDETRACKS
 DRY AMENDMENT

Hartford. May 13@The House yes terday killed two of the most sweep ing reform bills that have ever been before the legislature at this session, in a single sitting, the constitutional amendment which aimed to bring Con necticut into the rank. Of proh1pltlon states and a bill abolishing contract labor in prisons and jails and provtd- ing for the payment of prisoners for work done After the' rejection of the prohibition resolution one representa- tive iheatedIy told his fellows that he was thoroughly ashamed of the House for what he apparently construed as underhanded action. Neither measure was strenuous1y opposed except / by ] ballot, and the debate on prohibition took scarcely ten minutes.
 | Mr Warehouse, of 5Stratford moved that the resolution be tabled, although there was 9 quorum present. Ihe mo- i tion was rejected.
 MT. Morehouse said that the com mittee had been almost evenly divided ion the resolution. He moved its pas -tsages
 I MT. Shaw of Bedding spoke in favor
 Of the resolution, saying that. the pro-
 hibttion question was one which was |agitating the whole country. He
 thought the question was more prop 1 erly one for the whole country to de- Ecide. He said he would refrain from
 discussing the prohibition on the drink I question specifically, but he thought the voters ought to. be given an op- Eportunity to decide the question for 1 themselves as soon as possible and the failure of the bill would delay this op- fportunityl for at least, two years. If Mr1 Bowers of Manchester said he
 would rather see the whole country
 license or no license than to have 1t | a checkerboard of licence and no lh-
 cense towns. He thought it would be
 better to have license questions de-
 cided by counties than by towns, but
 still better for the whole state to de- eide as. a unit He knew from court
 experience that drinking did much harm and favored the passage of the reso1ution.
 MT. Fenn of wethersield deprecated the fad of running to the people with things that can't be got through the llegislaturet' He said 1Ae supposd thai
 the bill increasing the liquor license would preclude the introduction of g prohibition bill and thought that il would be overwhelmingly defeated il

 MT. Lough1in of Enfield moved tha-

 Mfr Rogers of Litchheld was opposed to the resolution. He believed in pro Il hibition only because the only goot beer was made in Germany,
 MT. Schultz of New Britain favored Indefinite postponement and though Eregulation by high license better unti

JAMES KING DESCRIBES HIS THRILLING
EXPERIENCE IN FORDING ARKANSAS RIVER

as at it's mountain source. The east
bank Of the river was fringed with
growth Of white and red willows while
the west shore was naught but sandy
waste stretching away towards the set
ting sun. AS soon as we were hitched
up the next morning the fording or the
stream began by driving the loose or
extra stock across the river first, the
bell mule being led by one of the extra
men, the others following In the wake.
Scott Erwin took to the water first with
the four little buckskins and as soon as
one team would land safe anotner
started from the east shore and by tnat
system we had but one team In the
water at time so that In case any
thing should go wrong all hands could

which are generally fastened to the
reach or axles and allowed to remain
So generally were stored inside the
wagons, put in the jockey boxes or
tied to the wagon bows and in some
cases were hung on the harness or the
mules 1t took us about three hours 10

c. & A. ADOPT IS NEW
MAIL EXCHAkG E
LOCAL AGENT. FOR HUPP COM.
PANY NOTIFIED OF RAIL
ROAD USING DEVICE.

M. B. Whipple, local agent for the
Hupp Automatic Mail Exchange, has
recently been advised that the Chicago
& Alton railroad has officially adopted
that method of exchange for use be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis.
This automatic system which is the
invention of Albert Hupp, formerly Of
Kansas City, is designed to meet all
the requirements of the railroads and
postal department in the exchange of
mail matter between moving train
and station and performs it's functions
with absolutely no assistance from
the mail clerk, being operated by the
motion of the train itself.
Instead Of the mail being kicked or
thrown off as thetrain passes the sta
ton, it is delivered into receiving
trough built for that purpose and thus
eliminates any possibility OF injuring
any bystandersi or damaging the mail
itself. The catch instead Of being linz
tied to 25 pounds of first class mail as
1t has been for almost fifty years, is
practically unlimited and the appara-
tus will handle at high speed any vol
ume of mail of any kind, including
ITdSlle, peI1SudOIc, OlHcl WISE, Al
short, anything that conforms to
postal regulations, which can be plac-
ed in mail sack
Mr.. Whipple says: To the public
served by this system it means a
quicker, safer and larger service
while at the same time eliminating
the present dangers which railway
and postal employees are subject to in
this branch of their work. To the rail-
road it means much in that 1t will
eliminate stops and slow downs made
for exchanging mail, thus shortening
their schedule and conforming to the
present Safety First" movement, and
to the postal department it means
safety efficiency, and savings in cost,
where there is now danger, inefficien-
cy and unnecessary expense"
