well, guess you did what was right, {"
said Puss Junior. He and Tom Thumb
were standing near a butchers shop In
a small village. The butcher, who had
just told what he had done to Ta1y af..r
Taffy had done a few things to him in the
way Of stealing, shifted from one root
to the other In an uneasy sort of way.
But thft isn't ALL he went on TO say.
in rather an anxious tone Of voice.
Tell us the worst. then" laughed Puss
Junior, who didn't appear very sympa-
thetic- The name Taffy appealed to him
and made him wonder what sort Of per
son Taffy was. He certainly was bold
enough.
The truth OF the matter is. the butch
er went on to say, Il hit him a bit too
hard with the marrow-bone His head is
in pretty bad share, and the doctor says
II will be some weeks yet before TafTy

Gracious me-" exclaimed Tom Thumb.

That's Just it," replied the butcher,

great sigh and went into his shop to

Let's make a call on TarTy." Puss Jun

Folk We Touch in Passing
The Pendulum.
BY JULIA CHANDLER.


You may call him The Pendulum to just
anybody who knows The Man without
| fear of contradiction, for there is no one
who has rubbed elbows with him who has
not recognized in him a sort of football
pushed from one opinion to another by
the folk whose lives he touches.
Back and forth like the pendulum Of Q
clock he swings from one opinion to an
other; he Is never still long enough tc
become poised, never settled sufficient

manent influence upon his character.

Swinging again." laughed The Friend
| I didn't understand the remark until II
was explained to me that The Mans life
Is made up of a series Of reflections. each
moulded in turn by his latest associates
That" said The Friend, is why he
is called The Pendulum.
"It is also why he gets nowhere In
life," he added, regretfully.
Alone i thought of The Man a good deal
His face had fairly radiated spirituality
as he had expressed his determination to
| acquire the Christ mind, and voiced sen
| timents that were at one with the golden
to me so great reality that 1t was diff
cult to accept The Friends assurance
that 1t was but the temporary reflection
of The Devout Woman in whose home
| had met THE Pendulum"
Several months later I saw for myself
| that The Friend had done The Man nc
injustice in his comment.
1t was after the theater. The place was
a popular cafe. The mood of the pleas.

his companions.
And gaining only laugh in reply he
added: Awful tommyrot. religion. This

His friends applauded his sentimen

Rural Mail Route Order.

The government has recently
issued an order to rural mail car
riers that they must not deliver
mail to patrons unless they COM
ply with the regulations of the
Postoffice department. These
regulations are that the mail
boxes in all cases must be erected
on the right hand side Of the
road. Farmers on the left side
of the road to the carrier on his
regular route will have to put
their boxes across the road.
This rule is made to avoid acct
dents. Patrons must have their
names, but no other inscriptions
on their mail boxes.

THE MONEY
COMES QUICKLY
Two More Men Made Happy
by the Mutual Automobile
Idemnlty Assn.

Sam West spared no time or
expense in looking for his new
Ford automobile which was
etolen from near the post Office
last week. He offered a reward
of $25 and this was paid to the
man who found the car. Mr..
West employed Henry Horton,
and the two spared no time or
expense. They hired taxis, used
the telephone and telegraph free
ly, in fact they never stopped
until the car was located. Of
course the car was covered by
theft insurance: But it was in
one of those worthless mutual
companies.
The general talk of the town
was Il wonder if the mutual
company will help pay the ex-
pense of finding the car and al
most every time the answer to
these questions were Il doubt it.
He should have had his insurance
with an old line company"
Mr.. West and Mr.. Horton
figured up the expense of finding
the car, however, and gave it to
ID. Martin, agent in Baxter
Springs for the Mutual Automo-
bile Indemnity Assn of Coffey-
vile, Kas., by return mail Mr..
Martin received a check for the
full amount 1884, with a
splendid letter from the company,
thanking Mr.. Horton and Mr..
West for the interest they had
taken, with the suggestion that
it was their belief that the county
officers should take a keen inter
est in running down the thief.
This is the third claim that
MIR. Martin has had against the
company since hehas represented
It here and in each case he has
received a check for the claim by
return mail.
Mr.. Martin has the cheapest
ate on automobiles in the state.
In fact it is so cheap you can't
afford to be without it.-Adv.

MINE EXPLOSION
Confusion of Instructions
Causes Death of Two Men

Two miners who were working
in the Lucky Junction mines at
Tar River were killed early Sun
day morning as the result of an
explosion. Arthur Lewis, age 25,
and John Fry, As, were the
victims. All details preceding
the explosion are lacking but it
is thought that the accident &C.
cured in the following manner:
The men were working night
shift at a level of 100 feet driving
air drifts in the east wing. Two
Others were engaged doing the
same thing in the west drift, at
the same level. The men who
were killed were preparing shots.
Lewis was to light the fuse, while
Fry gave the signal as to the
time to light it. The plan was
made to avoid unnecessary con-
fusion. As soon as Fry started
toward the shaft to give the
signal to the men in the other
drift, Lewis began lighting the
fuse and before Fry reached the
shaft the first shot exploded in
the west drift.
The conclusion extinguished
the lights Of all men. The two
men in the east drift who heard
the explosion ran to the shaft
and were taken out, but the ex-
plosion of the first shot was fatal
to the other two, Lewis and Fry.
A big holder struck Fry at the
temple, apparently killing him
instantly. Lewis, body was
badly mangled. The body of
Fry was shipped to Duenweg,
Mo-, and was buried Monday
afternoon, while the body of
Lewis is being held at Commerce,
pending Instructions from his
relatives in the state of Washing
ton.

HERE FROM TEXAS
Old Friend Joins Rev. Parham
and Is Spreading the Cos
pei of Christianity
and Rice

The latter part of last week
Rev. c. F. Parham was joined
here by Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ed
Cabaniss, of Katy, Tex, and a
party filling two automobiles
left Baxter Springs on an extend
ed trip. From here they went
to Wichita to hold a series of
religious meetings lasting ten
days, thence to Colby, Kas., for
another ten days, and then a
like service at BARLEY, Neb.
From BARLEY the party will run
TO Denver and the mountains
and back home. Mr.. Cabannis
brought his party up from Texas
in his car and he reports de-
lightful trip. He is an extensive
grower of rice, even to the extent
of having earned the sobriquet
of "Cabaniss the Rice Man
He says that the poor consumer
has little knowledge of the great
value of rice as a food, that
people do not use as much as
they should because they do not
know how to prepare it. THE
commercial white, polished rice
has been robbed of the greater
part of its food value when the
covering just under the hull of
the kernel is removed, said Mr..
Cabannis. THE whole rice is
of better flavor and much more
nourishing and people should
learn to use it." Every year Mr..
Cabannis ships a hundred pound
sack of this. rice up to Rev.
Parham for home use. Thus we
account for agility and unremitt-
ing energy of the parson not unlike

Recital a Success

The recital at the Library
theatre last Friday night netteC
the local Red Cross unit $3.50
and this sum was increased by q
single contribution from a Baxter
citizen to $500. The money
will be used for buying material
with which to make bandages
and other articles for the Red
Cross work. Miss Audry Smith,
Mrs. Merton Goodeagle, Miss
Gretchen Bilharz and other
ladies who arranged the enter
tainment deserve much credit
for their hard work and the sue
cessful outcome of the under
taking.
These ladies were obliged to
look after every detail, even to
sweeping and cleaning The hall
and distributing the bills. The
Boy Scouts, who promised to
attend to these duties, failed, it
appears to make good. Their
patriotism, it seems, was lacking
when actual service for the cause
of humanity was demanded of
them. All over the land, except
in Baxter, the Scouts are doing
valient and valuable work for
the cause of outraged humanity.
The News trusts that our boys
will wake up, and will not again
be found lacking.
The program was OF unusual
merit and the performers with
out exception were highly COM
plimented. Mrs. H. ID. Long
sang in a beautiful soprano to
an excellent piano accompani-
ment by Miss Ruth Barnes. The
tenor voice of j. Harold Harlow
was a surprise and a joy as well

voice has been heard before in
Baxter, sang more charmingly
