Miss Helen Glasse went to
Columbia Monday to be absent
about two weeks attending the
agricultural extension work
meeting and Farmers Conven-
ton.
Miss Glasse has made good
with her work in this county
but might have done better had
she been left to manage the af-
fair herself instead of being
pestered with itinerant emissar-
iers who could look and act wise
but know considerably less about
it. The Legislature would save
money and prevent unpopulari-
zing agricultural extension work
if it withheld any appropriation
whatever for the per diem and
expenses of the juvenile male
and superanuated female super
nameraries sent out over the
state to interfere with the good
work of the regulars.

Passenger Train Wrecked

( The wreck at the Wabash
! at this city last week might have
III been a much more serious affair,
ID but as it was, the engineer was
pretty badly hurt, woman was
considerably shaken up and a
man passenger was jolted about
until he felt considerably dam
aged; several tank cars here for
water for Moberly smashed, the
mail car, baggage car and for
ward passenger coach damaged,
the coach going into the wooden
baggage car and forward pas
senger coach damaged, the
coach going ito the wooden bag
gage about 8 feet, telescope fa-
shion. The mail car and coach
are steel cars.
The best we can get the story
of the mishap is as follows; No.
5, somewhat behind time, here
D. at $40 a. m. was running rather
lively. The water train consist
ing of about 2O water tank cars,
locomotive and caboose, was on
the track for west bound trains
loading the tanks from the COM
pany tank on the north side of
tracks. Whether there was a
flagman out west of this train
or not there was none down the
track east. The conductor of
the water train had assumed to
flag from that direction, but in
stead, was in the station asleep,
as was also the third trick opera
tor. No. 5 came on, the engi-
neer saw the red switch light
above the station, used by opera
tors to flag trains. Slowed
up and watched to see if the red
light would be turned to the
white light side and watched too
long, for when he turned his
!, eyes ahead, was practically on
the tank cars just west of the
station. The front end of the
locomotive was smashed and the
cars above mentioned.
Undoubtedly the blame rests
on the flagman, night operator
and engineer. The first should
have been at his post down the
track, the operator should have
been earning the money the gov
ernment was paying him instead
4 of sleeping and the engineer
should not have run past a red
light signal, tho in many cases
they do and before they can
stop, the operator wakes up and
does business, but in some cases
the train backs up and rouses

RooseueIt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt in the Yale Review, Henry A. Beers says of him as writer:
 ''Mr. Roosevelt produced much ex- cellent literature, but no masterpieces like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and second inaugural. Probably his sketches of ranch life and of hunting trips in three continents will be read longest and will keep their freshness after the public questions which he discussed have lost interest and his historical works have been in part re- written. In these outdoor papers, be- sides the thrilling adventure which they-very modestly-record there are even passages of descriptive beau ty and chapters of graphic narrative, like the tale of the pursuit and cap- ture of the three robbers who stole the boats on the Missouri river which belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine.
 It is a physician's prescription.
 Swamp-Root is strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on it's merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for q sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

CHAPTER TX.
The First Wayfarer, the Second Way farer and the Spirit of ChivaIry ASrenJznt

The First Wayfarer. the Second Way
 Ascendant.
 The wide green door, set far back in a recess not unlike a kiosk, was opened by a man servant who might easily have been mistaken for a waiter from Delmonico's or Sherrys.
 "Say to Mrs. Collier, Nicholas, that Mir. Barnes is here for dinner" said De Soto. q will make the cocktails this evening""
 Much to Barnes surprise-and dis appointment-the interior of the house failed to sustain the bewildering effect produced by the exterior. The en- trance hall and the living room into which he was conducted by the two men were singularly like others that he had seen. The latter for example, was of ordinary dimensions, furnished with a thought for comfort rather than elegance or even good taste. The coucheS and chairs were low and deep and comfortable, as if intended for men only and they were covered with rich, gay materiaIs the hangings at the windows were of deep blue and gold; the walls an unobtrusive cream color, almost literally matched with etchings.
 The stairs were thickly carpeted. At the top his guide turned to the left and led the way down long corridor. I,o fore O'Dowd stopped and threw open 1 the fifth on that side of the hall. There were still two more doors beyond.
 Suggests a hotel, doesn't it?" said the Irishman, standing aside for Barnes to enter "All of the sleeping apartments are on this floor, and the baths and boudoirs and what not The garret is above, and that's where we deposit our family skeletons, intern our grievances, store our stock of spitefulneSS and hide all the little devils that must come sneaking up from the city with us whether we will or no. Dabson," addressing the man who had quietly entered the room through the door behind them, do Mr. Barnes, will ye, and fetch me from Mir. De Soto's room when you've fin ished. I leave you to Dabson's tender mercies The saints preserve us! Look at the mans boots! Dabson, get out your brush and dauber first of all. He's been fioundering in a bog"
 The jovial Irishman retired, leaving Barnes to be "done" by the silent, swiftmoving valet. Dabson was young and vigorous and exceedingly well trained. He made short work of "do- ing" the visitor; barely fifteen min utes elapsed before ODowd's return. Presently they went downstairs to- gether. Lamps had been lighted, many of them. throughout the house. A fire

He was to depart at ten. The hour drew near and he had had no oppoA iu nity for detached conversation with Miss Cameron. He had listened to her bright retorts to O'Dowd's sallies, and marveled at the ease and composure with which she met the witty -~ish- man on even terms
 Not until the very close of the evee ming, and when he had resigned him. self to hopelessness, did the opportu- nifty come for him to speak with her alone. She caught his eye, and, to his amazement. made a slight movement of her head, unobserved by the others but curiously imperative to him. There was no mistaking the meaning of the direct, intense look that she gave him.
 She was appealing to him as a friend-as one on whom she could de- pend

 While lie was trying to invent a pre- text for drawing her apart from the others she calmly ordered Van Dyke to relinquish his place on the couch beside her to Barnes,
 Come and sit beside me, Mir Barnes" she called out gayly. T will not bite you or scratch you or harm you in any way. Ask MT. O'Dowd, and he will tell you that I am quite docile. don't bite, do I, Mir. O'Dowd?"
 "You do," said O'Dowd promptly. ''You do more than that. You devour. Bedad I have to look in a mirror to convince meself that you haven't swal- lowed me whole. That's another way of telling you, Barnes, that she'll ab- sorb you entirely"
 For few minutes she chided him for his unseemly aversion. He was beginning to think that he had been mistaken in her motive, and that after all she was merely satisfying her van- ity. Suddenly, and as she smiled into his eyes, she said, lowering her voice slightly:
 Do not appear surprised at any, thing I may say to you. Smile as if we were uttering the silliest nonsense. So much depends upon it, Mir. Barnes" "

DO NOT DESERT MEw

Synopsis.-Thomas K. Barnes, wealthy young New Yorker on a walking trip in New Eng land near the Canadian border, is given a lift in an automobile by a mysterious and attractive girl bound for a house called Green Fancy. At Harts tavern Barnes finds a stranded troupe of "barn-storming" actors, of which Lyndon Rushcroft is the star and Miss Thackeray" the leading lady. They are doing hotel work for their board. He learns Green Fancy is a house of mystery. That night two mounted men leave the tavern under odd circumstances. One is brought back dying. Barnes comes under suspicion. He stays to help clear up the mystery. O'Dowd of Green Fancy says that that place of mystery is not concerned in any way. Barnes gets into the Green Fancy grounds and sees the mysterious girl.

bear the burden in our expense ac- count of the things we cannot remem- Der about, because we must balance our accounts.
 Five, ten, fifteen cents, or a quarter seems so little, so we go to the movie buy little candy, magazine or a new ribbon, often things we do not need, and the sum mounts up to quite a showing at the end of month. It is the smallness of the amount which is our undoing. The old saw which tells us to Hook out for the pennies, for the pounds will take care of them selves" is one we should heed.
 It is the experience of those who have observed, that the person who early in the season is the one who finds it necessary to call for help when it comes time to buy coal.
 It is the little leak, the small bill that we need to watch, for most of us find it necessary to deliberate with caution when spending large amounts. One does not wish to be penurious or miserly, traits which are decidedly un- popular, but we must, if we live with in our income, use discretion in our buying.
 The family with small income can by careful management, lay by small amount each week. The small sum grows and even the children in such home form thrifty habits. When misfortune and sickness come there is A sense of security in the tidy lit- file bank account, which makes them independent.
 It is fully as inconsiderate for a woman to use the earnings of her hus- band in riotous spending. Our girls need training in marketing and shop ping as well as in cooking and home making. No two families with the same income can follow the same rule of expenditure, for happily we all have individuality and like different things. Each housewife has her own problem to solve; she may get great help and inspiration by reading or by conrer- ence with other housekeepers, but her nroblem Is hers alone to work out, and fhe efficient. up-to-date woman is con stantly looking to improve her meth ods. In these days of high prices and stationary salaries we are called to | ,ut forth the best effort to make every l ent do its full duty.
