Dear Mr.. Durbin: You asked me

but I hardly know where 10 COM
mence first. for | have seen SO many
things and been so many places. We
had a real nice trip coming in an
auto bus from Jacksonville to Mi
ami. 1t took 8 days but we stopp-
ed off at different places. We
stayed at st. Augustine sday and
night. One street was only 6 feet
and one Cd inch wide, and we go
out to Fort Marion and on the roof
of it. At the top of the roof of Fort
Marion is a tower and we go up on
top of it and see the Atlantic Ocean
in the distance. We go out to the
lighthouse and we climb to the top
of it. 1t is 165 feet high, or 220
steps high. l counted the steps so
know that is right We stayed )
nights at Daytona, and there we go
out to the Beach and | have good
time playing in the sand and on the
swings. The Beach is much prettier
than the one at Miami. When ever
the tide is low they have auto races
and airships land. We stayed all
night at Fort Pierce. At Fort
Pierce we got about chewe6 up with
mosquitoes. That is the only place
that we were bothered with them
and we have not seen many flies in
the south. The Fort Pierce hotel is

Why Suffer from Rheumatism

Do you know that nine out of ev-
cry ten cases of rheumatism are
simply rheumatism of the muscles
or chronic rheumatism, neither of
which requires any internal treat
ment? The pain may be relieved by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment,
which makes sleep and rest possible,
and that certainly means a great
deal to any one afflicted with rheu-
matism. Sold Everywhere.

back of the guarantee

conversation in which she was en-
gagged and was the last one of the
women to go back into the coach
She had just seated herself near
the front of the car when it began
jerking and jumping, and the wreck
was on. She, like many others in
that coach, is nursing some bad
bruises, but experienced nothing
more serious.
Doctors Ralston and Fayen from
this place, were early on the scene,
followed a little later by Dr. j. E.
Brown and also DR.. T. ]. Bingham
from Philo, Doctors E. C. and E
R. Brush of GAINESVILLE, and all were
busy from the time of their arrival
on the spot until all passengers had
been cared for. 1t is related that the
first news of the wreck that reached
Philo came when Miss Pauline Gil
lespie and Mrs. Fayen walked back
to Philo to DR.. Bingham's office
and told the story. The doctor then
hastened to the scene and joined
the others in relief work.
The wreck was the worst one
ever experienced on the o. & l.. X.
The wreck at Douda on July 25,
1902, resulted in a greater loss of
life, but it did not do the demolish-
ing work that was done in this one.
That time, the engine had crossed
the trestle, when the rear coach
jumped the track. The buckling OF
the tender was all that saved the
situation this time, for it prevented
the baggage car and smoker from
completely over turning into the ra-
vine.
The cause of The wreck is in dis
pute. 1t has been pretty generally
talked AMI accepted that fresh earth
left on the track caused the derail-
ment of the engine.
Railroad men think that dirt
packed between the rails by a trac-
tor and scraper that had been work
ing the highway leading to the
crossing, was sufficient to lift the
front truck of the engine from the
rails. The wheel f1ange of the front
truck was unable to cut through
the obstruction, railroaders said,
and the engine was derailed.
The southbound train was run
ming at a rate of about thirty-five
miles an hour when the accident oc-
Cured, Conductor Reynolds stated,
and was on time.
Edward Ribble, member of the
board of township trustees who
dragged the road at that point Sat
urday contends that this was i'm
possible as the road scraper blade
was lifted in crossing the tracks.
One thing that should be men
toned in connection with the wreck
was the kindness of Mrs. Bessemer,
near whose home the accident oc-
Cured Mrs. Bessemer is blind,

THE WOMAN A MAN LOVES
Begin Here Today.

The life of Kate Ward had been
filled with tragedy, but she thought
the climax was reached. In girlhood
she had quarreled with her mother
and then fled from her home to the
great city, where she met, loved and
married Dan Ward. Now he was
dead and she had returned to find
that her mother also had died and
that her father, old Justin Parsons,
needed her care. This was sad
enough, but then came Chinatown
Alice, with her little baby, TO an
nounce to Kate that Dan Ward, the
dead husband, was the father of
Alice's child. In her sleep that night
Kate woke with the conviction that
a voice had been trying to tell her
about an old trunk.
Go on With the Story.
Justin glanced anxiously at his
daughter during breakfast.

BY RUTH AGNES ABELIN G..

Her face bore evidence of the
night she had spent. Old Parsons
knew that all was not going well.
He said nothing, however. He was
one Of those rare people woh in
stinctivelly know when silence is tru-
ly golden.
At length Kate, herself, began to
talk.
Father, she said, "do you know
anything about a trunk-or has any
thing ever happened in the family
which involved a trunk?"
mo, child" mild surprise in his
tone.
Katie, girl, your old father has
done so little travelling in his life
that he never had need for more
than a carpet bag! Your mother and
I never owned trunk in our lives"
The thing passed without smile,
Kate's heart was too hes-y for smil-
ing. Her brain was busy on things
of the past. She was turning over
the matter of Chinatown Alice and
Dorothy and Dams feeling for them.
"After all-why should he have
cared more for me?" Kate was
thinking aloud.
Justin caught the train of her
thought.
He would have care more for
you, Katie, just as naturally as
flowers turn toward the sun.
you are the kind of woman men
love. You're not the kind they flirt
with, not the kind with whom they
make loud carousal and who then
sink, nameless, into oblivion.
"You are the kind of woman a
man wants to be a daughter to his

mother and mother to his children.
"There are women 2nd-there are
women" Justin was reminiscent,
there are chatter boxes who at
eventide torment you with details Of
a days shopping or the illness Of
some detested relative, there are
those who never find a circumstance
or condition quite as they want it
and who insist upon mounting the
thing over.
'And then, Katie" slowly, there
are those like yourself, who form,
unknowingly, a golden band which
spans the world of men-the women
of the quiet heart-women who can

accept their disappointments in 81
lence and rise above them, women
who understand the need of silence
by men who would be great.
"The restful woman, who, amid
earth's riot,
rs eloquently quiet;
Knowing that silence means, not
being dull
"But like the sunlight, bright and
beautiful
"That's the woman who holds not
only mans love, Katie, but the love
of every living creature-dogs and
birds and children and-men. You're
that kind of woman, child.

Take Delegates to
Convention.

The Caldwell Kiwanis club will send
two automobiles loaded with local
members to the district convention at
Ogden next week, according to the
plan for representation of the Cald-
we'll club as it was approved Thurs
day. J. B. Gowen, the Rev. B. G.

to make arrangements for the trip.
One hundred dollars was appropriated
from the club treasury to help defray
expenses. Caldwell is entitled to two
official representatives but selection OF
these was left to the party deciding to
go.
The Rev. L. A. Garrison, formerly
of Caldwell and now pastor of an Og-
den church, spoke briefly of the plans
for entertainment that the Ogden club
of which he is member, is making
for the entertainment of Kiwanians
from Idaho and Utah clubs. He also
spoke of the strike situation in Ogden
saying the tieup there is past and thai
trains are now moving again with dis
patch. The tieup of "a hours, he said
was due to the refusal of railroad EN-
ployees to work in yards where ire
sponsible men with guns were guard
ing the yards and shops, endangerint
the lives of the men working there.
At the conclusion of this brief ad
dress. Mr.. Gowen, club secretary, rea'
letter from Twin Falls, headed tn
Magic City" asking support of Cald
we'll delegates for the 1928 Kiwani
convention.
