Few lines of railway in the United States have so many places of resort for health and pleasure seekers and for sportsmen, as has the Kansas City Southern railway, the great commer­ cial thoroughfare between Kansatf City, Mo., and the Gulf of Mexicow Among the health and pleasure rfr sorts noted for their attractive scenery or their medicinal waters, are the following: Neosho, Mo., a park like little city of 3,000 people, with magnesia waters valuable In the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles, skin and blood dseases. Noel, Mo., is a very attractive little village In McDonald county, sit­ uated In a nook In the Ozark moun­ tains on the Elk or Cowskin river, one of the best fishing streams In Missouri. The surrounding scenery Is magnificent Slloam Springs, Ark., Is a fam- Qps health and pleasure resort, having numerous springs of excellent water, far-famed for the cure of rheu­ matism, stomach diseases, catarrh, liver complaint, paralysis, nerroua prostration, neuralgia, etc., etc. Sulphur Springs, Ark., Is in Benton county and is well arranged for the comfort of visitors, having hotel ac­ commodations and cottage rooms for about 100 people, the rates varying from $3.50to $7.00 per week. The springs are specifics In the cure of catarrh of the stomach, malaria, gout, rheumatism, tuberculosis, and kidney trouble. Mena, Ark., has an altitude of 1,500 feet above sea level and has 3,000 in­ habitants. It has magnificent moun­ tain scenery and a most admirable summer climate. The Bethesda springs, three miles from town, are noted for their cures of scrofula and blood diseases. Baker Springs, Ark., Is twelve miles east of Wickes station. Ark. Their altitude Is about 2,000 feet in the most picturesque part of the Ozark moun­ tains. The springs are sulphur and have great curative powers in stomach trouble. The Boggs Springs are at Ascetls P. O. in Polk County, Ark., and are reached by way of Hatton station. The scenery Is that common to the Ozark mountains. The four or five springs are noted for their cure of dropsy, Bright's disease, diabetes, torpid liver, kidney trouble and dis­ eases peculiar to women. The winter resorts are principally on the Gulf coast, though Mena, Arlc, and Ft Smith, Texarkana and Shreve- port La., also offer many attractions in the way of a pleasant winter cli­ mate. Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange and Lake Charles, all on lakes or navigable Avers, are ideal resorts. In mid-winter the weather is balmy .and spring-like, and open air exer­ cise is possible all winter. There are splendid opportunities for boating, sailing, rowing and aquatic diversions of all kinds and of game and fish there is an abundance. The hotel accommodations at all these points are good and range in price from $1 to $2 per day and from $3.50 to $7.00 per week. The list of hunting and fishing places is a long one. Small game such as quail and rabbits are abund­ ant at all the stations between Kansas City and the Arkansas State line. South of Joplln, Mo., turkeys, squlr> rels and deer can be added to the list South of Ft Smith, particularly near Mena, Hatton, Grannlss, De Queen, turkeys, deer, bear, wildcats, etc., are abundant, also in the pine woods from Shreveport south to Beaumont. Geese and ducks in season are found in all the waters along the line, but from Shreveport south they are found by millions during the winter months. Good fishing can be had almost any­ where on the line. In Lake Sabine both fresh and salt water fish are found in the greatest abundance. Herring, mullet, stingrays, sea cat, trout, flounders and other edible and game fish abound, as well as great tarpons, alligator gars and large fish. A few miles out in the gulf there is a plentl- tude of red fish, red snappers, sharks, tarpon pompano, menhaden and other fish. In the waters near the Gulf there is hardly a place where fish and feathered game cannot be found In almost countless numbers. Those who are interested in either health or pleasure rftSfcrts or hunting or fishing, can gain accurate information on the subject by addressing S. G. Warner, the General Passenger Agent, at Kan­ sas City, Mo. BORN ON A PULLMAN CHILD BEGIN3 LIFE UNDER STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. ^ Conductor Arose Grandly to the Emergency, and Passengers Helped Out--Husband and Father Some­ what Surprised. It Depends. Organist (Just before service)--- "What shall I play, Mr. Goodthynge?" Absent-minded Clergyman--"What kind of a hand have you got?" Odd Incidents occur in the life of a Pullman conductor which educate him to be an all-round, handy man, says a writer in the New York Press. On the Erie, near Buffalo, Conductor F. S. Mosher was informed that a woman In one of his cars was ill and needed a doctor. As a search through the entire train failed to discover either a physician or surgeon, the conductor felt it a duty to offer his services. The woman was on the way to Chi­ cago to see a dying sister, and ex­ pected to be joined in Buffalo by her husband. When Mosher went to her berth he made a highly interesting find--a babe, a tiny girl. Mother and daughter seemed to be doing nicely. Faithful to first principles as a rail­ road man, he looked at his watch, counted the rail-joints for twenty-one seconds, and estimated that the speed of the train waa sixty miles an hour. "Don't worry," he said to the mother. "I have two of these at my own home, and I know something about handling 'em. Let me have her. She needs some clothes." After giv­ ing the baby a warm bath in the lava­ tory, he looked through the linen closet for something soft to wrap her in, but everything there was starched. Eight or ten commercial travelers were in the car. "Here, boys," he called out, "we've got the Erie's baby to feed and clothe and name. Open your grips and shell out tfie softest garments you've got" In an Instant the entire car was a-bustle with In­ terest in Miss Mahoney. One drum­ mer had a fine silk handkerchief, an­ other a camel's hair muffler, another a suit of flaccid merino underwear, while the rest had cambric night­ shirts that had been laundered until they were as flocculent as fleece. These articles were eagerly contrib­ uted. The night shirts were torn Into strips a foot wide and tenderly the little form was enveloped. A petti­ coat was, made of the underwear, a dress of the mufBer and a shirtwaist of the handkerchief. Thus clothed and in a really jovial frame of mind. Miss Mahoney was delivered over tj her mother. The next duty waa bestowing a name suited to the oc­ casion, and "Dr." Godfather Mosher proved equal to the emergency. The mother's name was Nora, the grand­ mother s Camellia, the car in which the child was born the Cisco, the town through which the train passed at the birth Judson, and tha family name Mahoney. So the young lady was named Nora Camellia Cisco Jud­ son Mahoney, and that name she bears to-day. At Buffalo a handsome young man entered the forward Pullman and asked the conductor if he had among his passengers a woman of the name of Mahoney. "Two of 'em," replied Mosher; "they're in the rear car, the Cisco." "Two?" said the stranger. "I'm looking for only one, my wife, Mrs. Charles Mahoney." "Well, I've two of 'em back here, and both of 'em are yours." "What do you mean, man?" "What I say. If you don't believe it, come back and look." Lead­ ing the way to the berth occupied by Mrs. and Miss Mahoney he drew aside the curtain. The husband staggered back, gasping: "My God, how did that happen!" .WHAT HIS WIFE THOUGH*; Truly No Man Is a Hero In lils Own Household. The speech of Senate r Pettus of Ala­ bama, in which he ' -ud his respects to "orators," will be ong remembered In the Senate. That portion of his speech was plainly impromptu, but ar­ riving at the psychological moment it convulses the entire Senate and the galleries. Senator Depew walked wildly about the Chamber swinging his arms over his head, while the President pro tempore, Mr. Frye, laid down his gavel, threw himself back in his chair, while the tears streamed down his cheeks. Senator Pettus was warmly con­ gratulated by his colleagues of both parties. When one of these, on the next day, shook his hand, and declared the speech "epochmaking," Senator Pettus gravely replied: "Well, I don't know about that; it depends on the point of view. When I got home last night I found my wife reading the afternoon paper. She glanced up and said: "I see you have been over there in the Senate making an old fool of yourself.* "New York Times. gg: Physicians Puzzled. St Aubert, Mo., Aug. 4th.--Mr. E. R. Langendorfer of this place suf­ fered very severely with a peculiar case of Kidney Trouble which com­ pletely baffled the skill of the local physicians and instead of getting any better he waa gradually growing worse. He says: "A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used two boxes I was entirely cured and have not since had the slightest symptoms of the re­ turn of my trouble. "I had tried all the surrounding physicians but they did me no good and instead of getting better I grew worse till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I can sincerely say to everyone suffering with Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure them for they cured me satisfactorily and completely when all the doctors had failed." A Deception. Columbus was sixty days out at sea when one of his rivals importuned the king. "Your majesty," he cried, "I can dis­ prove his globular theories. How about the Harlem flat? You can't get round in that." Chagrined beyond measure at being so deceived, Ferdinand instantly dis­ patched a torpedo boat destroyer to bring the unhappy navigator back in chains. ATOW UOJV'T IRISHMAN HAD ONE, TOO. His Story Soon Turned the Laugh on the Other Fellow. A story of Milesian coloring is told by a Philadelphia citizen, who says he heard it while watching the ex­ cavating for conduits by the laborers of the Keystone Telephone company. Working side by side were an Irish­ man and a negro. The latter, paus­ ing to light his pipe, winked at the spectators, and, his eyes dancing with mischief, asked: "Dennis, did you ever hear de story of de two holes in the ground?" "No--I nlwlr did," was the reply. "Well! Well!" was the black's re­ sponse, as he resumed shoveling. The roar of laughter that followed from the other workmen angered the Irishman for a minute. Another min­ ute was devoted, patiently, to ascer­ taining the point of the retort Then, stopping as though to hitch up his overalls, he too, winked knowingly at the spectators and some of his fel­ lows, and asked: "Talkln* uv wells, naygur, did yez ever hear how we dig thim in Oire- land?" "Doan' think I ever did, Dennis," said the negro. "That so? Why, we go to wor-rk and dig a long trench, just lolke this we be* wor-rkin' In now, and thin we all gets togither an' up-ends it"-- Philadelphia Times.

A Beaten by One. A well-known Glasgow dlvlno re­ lated the following anecdote, showing that the ready wit of a countryman was more than a match for him. He was going to the country for his holidays, and was lii a railway train, when a young man entered. In a short time the two commenced a conversa­ tion, in the course of which the cler­ gyman asked the youth what he worked at. "I am a coupler, sir," was the reply. "A coupler! So am I," replied the minister, with a laugh. The youth looked at him for a min­ ute or so, then burst into a fit of laughter, and said: "Oh, I see; ye're a meenister; ye mairry folk. But I gang farther than ye dae, I baith couple and uncouple." The clergyman laughed heartily, and acknowledged that the youth had the better of the sally. Why Philip Sobbed. Little Philip was taken to the sea­ shore for a week and he enjoyed the life immensely the first two days. He ran around on the beach until his face was sunburned and he was a bright red. Then the skin began peeling off and Itched dreadfully. His mother was awakened at night by hearing the boy sobbing, and she called to know what was the matter.

An English doctor was sustaining the ar­ gument that the Irish were naturally a depraved and dishonest race. At Liverpool he said he had 300 Irish patients on his books and of these only thirty paid him for attendance. "Sorr," said an Irishman who rose with flushed cheek to defend his coun­ trymen--"sorr, there is never an ef­ fect without a cvise. There is never a phenomenon that does not admit of an explanation. How can we explain the astounding phenomenon to which tha doctor has called our attention? He finds an explanation In the natural depravity of Irish nature; I, sorr, have another explanation to offer, and it la this: The thirty patients recovered!" Emerson and His EMaya.

"This is to certify that Peruna, man­ ufactured by The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, O., has been used in my family with success, It is a fine tonic end will build up a depleted system rapidly. 1 can recommend it to those who need a safe vegetable remedy for debility."--W.

P.'s, of Omaha, Neb., writes from 213 North Sixteenth street, the following words of praise for Peruna as a tonic, ile says: Catarrh of Stomach. "It is with pleasure I recommend Pe- riuca as a tonic of unusual merit. A large number of prominent members of the different Orders with which I have been connected hare been cured by the use of Peruna of cases of catarrh of the stomach and head; also in kidney com­ plaint and weakness of the pelrio or­ gans. ^ "It tones up the system, aids diges­ tion, induces sleep, and is well worthy the confidence of sufferers of the a bore complaints.
