In Ohl Missouri.
At this time o' year,
With the skies so clear
And the early frost a-stingin',
~Vlth the shoo-mack hoods
And the birds down south a-wingln',
Oh, 1 might' higtl creep
From my had asleep--
As I often say to Mury--
And my whole soul prays
For about ten days
Way back in old Missouri.
Oh. the hick'ry nuts
And the new rail cuts
And the smell o' the white oak timber!
How I'd like to stop
Where the paw-paws drop
From the limbs so long and limberI
The persimmons, too,
They are turning blue--
Oh, I'1[ sing taLloo.ral-loory,
And I'd give my cow,
Just to be there now,
'Way back In Missouri.
You may laugh--cut looser
But it ain't no use
And there's no excuse for cavil;
You won't find a state
Thar~ can strike her gait,
In a million miles of travel,
Yes, it sometimes blows
And It sometimes SllOWS,
And It often rains llko fury,
Bat It squares it all
In tl~e glorious fail,
'Way back in old Missouri.

"Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best
remedy for indigestion and stomach
trouble that I ever used. For years I
suffered from dysI.opsia, at times com-
pelling me to stay in bed and causing
me untold sgony. I am completely cured
by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. In recom-
mending it to my friends who suffer from
indigestion I always offer to pay for it if
it fails. Thus far I have never paid." Sa-

Many physicians are now prescribing
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly having
found that it is the best prescription
they can write because it is the one prep-
aration which contains the elements nec-
essaey to digest not only some kinds of
food but ;,l] kinds and it therefore cures
indige~11¢m ,:.l dyspepsia no matter
what its cause. Saguache Pharmacy.
Itusband and wife are equal, the one
not inferior to the other, the wife not a
slave, not a housekeeper, but an equal, a
companion. Ami just so far as a young
man starts out with that idea fixed firm-
ly in his mind, to make a comrade, a
companion, aehumof his wife, just so
far does he start out right.- October La-

CLYDE WELCtI.

And braketnen who are clever

But wc Sl;;ly here forever.
Thus may proudly sing the quartet of
colored waiters who daily eater to the
wants and whims of th6 fastidious trav-
eler in Burlington dining cars between
Omaha aud Denver.
There are other crews of waiters on
tile Burlington, but this particular set
of colored individuals run on the Chi-
cago Special aud they have gained for
themselves a world wide reputation as
being the "musical mew."
So popular have beet,me this quarlel
Of wailers bLntt thoj l'eCtq,~ lhe iiolioI'S

OtAmr mews are constanth' changing,
a,din them the 't~a~tus who made up
the quarte~ of poliLo waiters yesterday
gives place to the urbane Sambo of to-
day. Not so with the "musicai crew."
Ttmy have worked intact, side by side
for four successive years, and there is no
disposition on the par', of the Burlington
commissary department to break up the
little party. They hold the world's rec-
ord, not only as during car entertainers
but as an inseparable crew.
"Last call for supper," is always a joy-
ful sound to their ears. Not because
they wm~t to evade any work, but be-
cause, like the darkies of the olden sunny
south, they long for the hour when they
may realize what is meant by the south
ern melody.
In the evening by tt~e moonlight,
When the darkics' work is over.
We gather 'round the fireside
Till the hoe-cake is done,
And then we eat nur supper
And clear away the (lishes,
'Tls the only time we have to spare
To have a Little lun.
Andthisis just what they do. No
sooner are the dishes cleared away than
the order is givoa by the hoad waiter to
"lnake ready" for the evening's festivi-
ties. The tables are closed up and the
chairs moved in dress circle arrange-
ment, and then the word is whispered
through the train that a royal free en-
tertainluent is soon to take place in the

exceptm Bonanza, Villa Gro~e, Cres
car wheels lends enchantment to the mu- ' " : ~ "
sic, while the gentle motion of the train
seems to rock one into unrestrained re-
pose, lulled by the soft music of a south-
ern air.
The melody is ended and the players
rest their instruments. There is a~pause
a silence, and then a storm of. applause
fills the car.
The "musical crew" start sgain in re-
sponse to the encore. This time it is a
southern song, perhaps "My Old Ken-
tucky Home." What soul is there that
is not thrilled by the harmonious rendi-
tion of this beautiful old melody? But
hear it on a moving train or a plowing
river steamer, if you want to drink iu its
full inspiri,g power.
Outside the silver moon lights up the
open plains. Far back in th~ west the
snowy range in the t~ocky mountains
fades away like a fleetin~ cloud, but the
little audience iu the dining car ires no
;ime for scenery.
Tim show goes on. R~g time selec-
tions follow melodies, while song and
dancoconmintheir turn. For an hour
this program is kept up. Then the cur-
tain rings down and tho show is over.
Recently when the Golden G~te Com-
mandery, Knight Temphu', of San Fran-
cisco, went to the conclave at Louisville,
the'musical crew was sent as far west
as Leadvilte, Col-., to meet it and take
charge of the (lining car.
The first night out the quartet guys
one of lts entertainments. So well was
it appreciated that the knights made an
urgent r, quest that the crew be permit-
ted to go east with them. The request
was granted and the jolly wuiters fed
md entertained them uutil they reached
North Vernon, Ind. Here their mission
en(letl and they returned to take up their
regular run on the Burlington, between
Omaha and Denver.--A. U. Mayfield, in
