indefinite postponment the bill of
Senator Teasdale, which wonld have
required railroad companies to print

changes in the time of trains and the

change, which results in a great in
convenience to persons traveling and
in many instances causes them to miss
their train.

years. Funeral services will be held
at the house today, Wednesday, at
3 o'clock. Mr. Barber is an old resi
dent of Lancaster, which has been his
home the greater portion of his life,
he being a member of the family of
Barbers prominently associated with
the history of Lancaster from its
earliest days. Himself and family
resided in Florida about twenty years,
returning to Lancaster about six years
ago to again make this place their
home. Deceased is survived by a

The affair was well patronized, some
thing over S2OO being realized and
when expenses are paid more than
half of this amount will remain as
profit in the association’s treasury.
The carnival was introduced by a
street parade Friday noon that was
unique and clever, with the ‘‘ln
ternational band” representing play
ers of several nationalities, clowns,
policemen and others on horseback and
two small boys, in costume, leading a
large and ferocious “bloodhound,”
ala Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The parade
occasioned considerable amusement
and was followed later by a “band
concert” in the band stand on the
court house square. The boys are
working in a worthy cause and their
efforts should be well encouraged, as,
in fact, they are.
—George Baxter returned home
Sunday noon from a trip of two weeks
in the south. The major portion of
this time was spent in Texas, down
along the gulf coast. Mr. Baxter,
his father, Hon. C. H. Baxter, and
several other Lancaster people own a
big ranch at San Benito, near Browns
ville, and one or more of the com
pany pays a visit there each year to
look after things. This year Mr.
Baxter went alone, and spent four
days at the ranch. He says the crops
look fine but the prices are low at
present. They have raised a big crop
of cabbage which they are obliged to
sell at $8 per ton—4oc for a hundred
pounds. Some of their products bring
good prices, however, and under the
management of an experienced super
intendent they are developing a fine
property there. Mr. Baxter was at
Galveston, New Orleans and other
important southern cities during his
trip. The great floods which created
such devastation in Indiana and Ohio
last week, had not reached the south
ern country yet, as the windings of
the rivers cover many hundreds of
miles before reaching the gulf. Re
ports show that the crest of the high
water only reached Cincinnati Sun
day, although at Cairo and below the
river was unusually high. The south
will get its troubles a little later.

JOKE ON'REALTY SALESMAN
Neglected to Ascertain Location of
Farmer Who Wanted to Make
Exchange for City Lots.
One of the best stories of the hus
tling real estate salesman we ever
heard comes from one of the fra
ternity who isn’t afraid to tell a joke
because it happens to be on him.
This salesman heard of a man who
was anxious to trade a farm for some
city lots. So he jumped into his au
tomobile, drove to the farm owner’s
town office and warmly invited him
to come out and look at some fine sub
urban property The prospective buy
er seemed glad of the opportunity and
they were soon speeding toward the
subdivision in which our hero was in
terested.
Half an hour beyond the city limits
the rpal estate man began to point out
corner lots, prospective paving and
sewer systems, locations for imposing
residences and all that sort of thing.
“The city is growing right out this
way,” he said. “Facts and figures
prove that beyond the possibility of a
doubt. In ten years these lots will
be in the most fashionable part of
town and will be worth five times
what they are selling for today. While
your farm will —by the way, where
is your farm located?”
“We passed it on our way out here
from the city,” said the prospective
buyer. “Want to look at it?” —Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
GOT ALL THEY HAD.
'§ll
“Tom has broken with his rela
tives.”
“But he broke them before he broke
with them.”
Dear Me.
“Is this Mr. Biggs’ office?”
The clerk looked up.
“No, sir; Mr. Biggs’ office is on the
other side of the passage.”
“Thank you,” said the other, and
stepped outside, leaving the door wide
open.
“Hi, sir! You’ve left the door open,”
yelled the clerk after him.
“Dear me, so I have. You see, all
the doors at my house are fitted with
Blodger’s patent springs. Allow me
to show you a specimen. Never wears
out, never cracks or jams or needs
oiling and ” —Tid Bits.
Turned Down.
W. Somerset Maugham, the English
playwright, was praising the Ameri
can girl.
“The independent American girl,”
he said, “will stand no nonsense —
especially from elderly married men.
“Coming over on the boat there was
a beautiful American girl, and one
afternoon an elderly married man’s
wife was heard to say to him;
“ George, I don’t like the way
you’ve been looking at Miss Blanc.’
“Poor George frowned and mut
tered:
‘“Well, she don’t, either!’”
Eggs.
“How much are these eggs?” asked
Mrs. Younglove.
“Them are 35 cents a dozen, ma’am,”
the grocer replied. “They’re fresh.’*
“And these in the next crate?”
“Them are 40 cents a dozen. They
are strictly fresh.”
“How much are those at the end of
the counter?”
“Them are 50 cents.”
“But they are not marked fresh or
strictly fresh.”
“I know, ma’am. Them Is some I
picked out to take home.”
Work, or You’re NoooCy.
A young Englishman who came to
this country to enter business wrote
to his father that he was making
good in his work, and that America
was a remarkably bustling and pro
gressive place. “You simply must work
or you’re not in it.” he wrote. “You
must be busy, if you want to win out.
It doesn’t matter so much what you
work at, but you must work.”
