But he is so genial" they said, "and so sunny

So y.lT smile with delight grin with compassoni
And surely there's nothing fatal to gloom

Till the usher releutessly points to the door
Why scorn Charlie Chaplin? because he displays
A species Of art which wins popular praise!

Who seemed to provide such Dickensian glee,
Whose st,uid expressions reused millions Of smiles
And lured hard-earned quarters in fabulous piles;

Apucared stumbled ambed-you know what mean

With woebegone gaze and his hand on his back;

Resounded and to the farthermost ra1'er'

And serped on their throas they lay on the ground;

And the popuace roared till their faces were red

IT'S UP TO SHAWNEE NOW

Shawnee county can obtain 90 con-
victs for use on the public highways
of this county, according to a state
ment today by J. X. COddinS, warden
of the state penitentiary at Lansing.
Offers of convict labor for road build
ing have been made to Shawnee,
Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties
and it is probable that next year every
availa bile man will be used.
Warden CoddinG, who is in Topeka
today declared that next year he
would proba bly, be able to place more
than 100 men in road building camps
of the state. He believes that twenty
five men will be sufficient to operate
n single road building camp and that
men can be worked in one Or more
of the counties during the ro3d Dtlld-
ing season. At present nearly every
available man is being used i'll the
prison mine This is the season OF Inc
year when the mines are operated at
capacit Next spring and summer
however, men can be SEM TO the var
ious counties for road work
IF Shawnee county wants convict
labor in the building Of permanent
roads, all that is necessary is to make
formal demand" said Warden Cod
ding There are 100 men whom
could place in road building CAMPS
and the offer has been mad9 TO sew
eraI counties of the state.
Counties using convict labor. under
the new state law, must provide all
road building material and each man
must be paid at the rate of 81 day
Half of the wages paid to the con-
yicts is used in payment of their main
teT,ance while the remaining tl1ty
cents n day is sent TO the 1anlllleS OF
the men employed.

investigating an attempt made Tuesday
night to wreck their fast St. Louis
to New York train number 81 at
the entrance to Tunnel No. Z near

Five minutes before the flyer was
due a track walker discovered a six
ty-foot rail bound to the tracks with
heavy chains Using boulderS to
break the chains, he managed to clear
the obstruction just as the train

Company officials do not credit the
robbery theory but think discharged
