Upward a. a Railroader. “Love In a Box Car" is tlie title of the romantic drama fu real life which Is now occupying the atteutiou of Kansas people. Fort Scott has had thrilling melodramas at the town opera house, but none to compare in Interest with the Haiumoud-Barrott “Love lu a Box Car.” Briefly it Is the story of young Char ley Hatumoud, who married a Miss Barrett, only daughter of a millionaire mlue owuer of Butte. Mont. Hammond Is the son of R. II. Hammond, general superintendent of the Fort Scott and MH. AN1> MRS. HAMMOND. Memphis Railroad. The couple mar ried without the consent of anybody who holds the Barrett-Hammond for tunes in charge. They are now living happily in box car No. 12,118, and Ham- mond Is boss of a work train on the Memphis road. “Haiumoud'll rise.” say the men on the road. "He's got the grit and he’s got the knack.” And young Ham mond is working with the vim of a man who has made up Ilia mind to succeed. He Is alert to the itossibilities of his job. and has already won one promo tion. Meanwhile the families of both frown on the young people, and there is every evidence that Hammond will need all his pluck and bls courage. Mrs. Ham- motid wears a trousseau made in E’arls. reads tlie latest novels, and haughtily refuses to return the calls of the aris tocracy of Fort Scott. Hitherto she has had only to wish for things, and If money could buy them they were hers. The box car in which the Hammonds are living lias seen hard service. A coat of dull red ]>alnt has served to con ceal some of Its scars and patches. The floor is covered with 25-cent matting In the drawing-room end, and 20-cent oilcloth on the kitchen and dining room end. The dainty slippers of Mrs. Ham mond. so used to heavy velvet carpets, now “rap, tap” across floor covering nal authority. At first the couple took up their residence at Kansas City and spent a few weeks there. Then mat ters began to look dubious. Bread and cheese and kisses are all right for late suppers, but palates accustomed to filets mignons, French peas, and straw berry shotcake crave heartier proven der. Kansas City wondered what would happen, when one day young Hammond disappeared. There was talk of reconciliations, and next he ap peared in the garb of a practical rail road man as straw boss of a sectloa gaug in the yards at Fort Scott. Snub for Katinas Women. To the further astonishment of the 400 of Kansas City and Fort Scott, Mrs. Haiumond accompanied her busband. They took apartments In a fashionable quarter, went to the theater and social functions of various sorts evenings, while the young husband, In working clothes and broad-riuimed laborer’s hat, honestly worked all day. Nobody wore such costly costumes as the wife of the section band of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad Company, and at afternoon teas, receptions ami card cluba the devotion of the Ham monds was the popular theme foi> weeks. Mauy women of the highest standing called upon Mrs. Hammond, but she, through embarrassment or ec centricity, acknowledged few of thestj attentions. Mrs. Hammond appeared to be under the wing of a social leaded of the town, and in response to her kindly suggestions a half-dozen young women of Fort Scott’s upper crust called one day on the bride at her hotel. She was lounging in one of her ex quisite Paris tea gowns and reading the latest novels. Site sent down word that she was "too weary to see any body.” Since then the upper-crust young women who called have had a tired feeling at the mention of young Mrs. Hammond. While this was apparently merely a caprice. It created a sensation locally, and the recent announcement In one of the newspapers that the Hammond« had gone to live in a box car was grati fying In the extreme to those who felt snubbed. The box car runs over the division be tween Fort Scott and Memphis wher ever there is any repairing to be done. The Hammonds’ meals are furnished by the regular cook with the work train, and are very plain. Hammond, however, seems cheerful and indus trious. His young wife holds her head high, wears her imported gowns, reads the latest novels, and only to her inti mates says from her heart: “We mar ried for love, you know." From section boss young Hammond , has already risen to the management of | a train of thirty men. Promotion did I not bring more extravagant habits. The Hammonds still live In the car and are apparently contented. HIS TEETH, THOUGH FALSE. Tlie Fitness of Thing«.

He was 24, gay, Jolly and thoughtless, depending upon the generosity of a wealthy father to keep the wolf out of the front yard. She was 20, pretty. Im- [»etuoiis anfl self-willed. They had met at Hot Springs Just a year before. She wa« staying then at the Park Hotel with her parents, dazzling everybody with her exquisite toilets and superb Jewels, the gifts of her devoted father. Young Hammond was then recovering from an injury sustained lu a runaway while employed as an operator ai a small Missouri town on ills father's railroad. His father had put him there to "tone hiui down," he said. He began paying attentions to Miss Barrett, but his advances were not encouraged by her family. They snubbed hlui and made their objections very plain. Ham mond laughed and said that he was courting the girl and net the ramily. If It came to a question of money and position the Hammond« did very well, he thought, probably as well as the Barretts. Miss Barrett alone failed to share tlie prejudices of her family. Young Ham mond was handsome and clever and athletic, and she fell in love with him. The family finally consented to the match and the bride's trousseau was ordered from Paris by cable. Prepara tions were made for an elafiorate wed ding and the fashionable society of Hot Springs bidden to the affair. A few days liefore the date set for the wedding young Hammond quarreled with the Barretts, and rumor had It that the niatcb was broken off But It was not—only the fashionable cere mony was dispensed with. The young people went to another hotel, and It Is •aid were married In defianc» of pater- was a board meeting on in a back room.

The Ixmdon correspondent of the Gazette asserts that this novel form of adult exercise is being used <>u rainy morn lugs as a substitute for the mile and a half run before breakfast, which has been prescribed by a west end physi cian as a remedy for tliat condition of liver which in Ixmdon Is due to want of outdoor exercise and late hours, hard work and bad air.
