distinction of being the only line with
its own tracks and trains all the way

region between Denver on the north,

and management, which insure uniform
excellence of service. Overland trains

same superior quality throughout, un

Deborah Sampson, who enlisted in
the Continental Army as Robert Shurt

brave of fighters for the cause of Liber

regiment and served three years before

It was a word
Only a word that fell as leaves fall down
When the wind blows too hard .
The branches stirred ,
The slender stem was blown ,

Never comes back to fill the scar again
Wait and be still, my heart
The leaf is gone .
It cannot come again upon the stem
They are apart .

LITERARY NOTES.
In the July McCIure's appears a
sketch of Bryan, by the well known
Kansas journalist, William Allen Wnite,
author of "Boyville Stories." This is
the first of a series of pen portraits of
political celebrities by a writer particu
larly well qualified to write of both their
public and private life. The article con
tains a shrewd estimate of Bryan's po
litical career and throws much light on
the causes of his popularity.
