A prominent gentleman who is
now residing hero, stated recently to
The Tribune while discussing the
weather, and, incidentally, receiving
our lurid and otherwise-hued opin-
ions of what we were getting, that he
once got into the same rut we ure in
and promised himself to move to
where it would never rain "And," be
continued, "I came very near doing
that very thing, and waa gone for sev-
eral years. Now you can believe it
or not. but I got enough of dry
weather. However,’* he sighed, "I
would like to see this thing wind up."
And I

And one said that this
Coach had descended from Mount i
Ararat, and that there had been no
improvements made upon it since
Noah used it as nil Ark. And many
such like things did they say
Hut 1 spake unto myself, saying.
There is a Reason and it we be Pa-
tient we sliall discover It.
And the Conductor came through.
And he Wore no Uniform; but a
Badge on an Elastic Band, fastened
about a Derby Hat. And 1 hud not
seen such in many years.
And the Pasaangefs made Remarks
to him about the kind of Train un
which we were ridiug.
And he answered not a word, until
he hud taken up all hia Tickets.
Then he stood in the Aisle and de-
livered an Oration. And he said:
I have listened to the Fuol Re-
marks of you who think you ure
such Wise Guys concerning the qual-
ity .of this Train. Be it understood
all of you that this is not the Reg-
ular Train, neither am I the Conduc-
tor of that Train. But 1 got out of
bed at Four A. M. to run this Fliv-
ver from the Junction to the Ter-
minal as an accommodation to you
Wise Guys that have not sense
enough to suspect that somebody is
trying to do you a Favor. For it was
known to us that about Twenty Pas-
sengers were arriving at the Junc-
tion, and others to be picked up hers,
and we wanted to help you out. And
because dur regular crews are Over-
worked, and many of our men are
sick with Flu. it was no easy job to
get an Engineer, a Switch Engine
and a couple of Old Cars. And be-
cause there was no conductor avail-
able, therefore did the Division Man-
ager undertake to see' this Train to
its destination, und, that's me. And
I was able to get-away and take this
Train, because I have to go to the
Terminal this morning, and I was
minded to take the Switch Engine
and go. but I made up this Train for
your sakes. And now. if any of you
want the Limited, and are discon-
tented with this Train, behold, I will
slop this old boat, and let you out,
und ye can walk back or wait for it
just as you prefer. For the Limited
is in the Ditch about Fiftv Mlles back
and the track behind us will be block-
ed until Noon.
And no man decided to get off and
walk, neither did any man complain
more of our Train.
And I considered this thing, and 1
said that if we were to stop and
think before complaining, we should
sometimes discover that the tilings
whereof we complain are those for
which we should be thankful.

Several skeletons of prehistoric be-

1,500 years old have been unearthed
in the Ozarks region of Missouri.
These people were cliff dwellers but
they should not be confused with the
cliff dwellers who lived high up in
the faces of cliffs in Arizona and New
Mexico. Many crude weapons and Im-
plements were found perfectly pre-
served In the dry soil under the over-
