But the parIor maid smiled joy

say you're crying in your room because
your pop has lost all his money. Then

Commercial Club was planning to give
Mr.. Hill a present. Learning of this
he asked them not to saying that the
money could be put to better advan-
tage elsewhere.
After 1907 when Columbia went
dry, bootlegging became quite a prac-
tice between here and Moberly and
Certralia. Mr. Hill took the run from
Centralia to Columbia and back about
this timel and quickly proved his
worth by breaking up all signs of
boOtlegging on his trains. In the
words of E. w. Stephens he was a
terror TO evil-doers".
The Wabash has at several times
mentioned a transfer for Mr.. Hill to
another line, but the citizens of Co.
lumbia have protested so vigorously
that this has never been done.
