ROBINSON GETS THERE

CLOVIS, New Mexico, Oct. G. The explosion of the engine boiler of the crack Santa Fe Scout train from Chicago to California, forced Senator Robinson to use 2 special train from Amarillo, Texas, to this city for a speaking engage ment.
 The Senators two private cars were to have been attached to the Scout train, whose engine was wrecked by the boiler explo- sion 80 miles west of Amarillo.
 Railroad officials hooked an en- zine to the Senator's two private cars and ordered the track clear bringing the nominee to Clovis ahead of the regular schedule.
 Engineer Larson and Fireman Simmons, who manned the wreck ed engine, are reported burned seriously. They were rushed to the Amarillo Hospital where re- covery is doubtful.

 The little brown toad turned out 10 be as good conscience as Bobby thought 1t would. Bobby talked to il just as if it were alive and pretended tha; the Toad talk ed back to him. It would sit by its little masters plate at the table and watch Bobby's table manners. It would hop up on the wash-bowl and see that Bobby brushed his teeth and didn't for get to rinse his mouth. It would help Bobby to get home on time and answer his mother quickly when she called.
