A Wreck at Dawson.
Late Saturday night a rear end
collision of two Frisco freight
trains occured near Dawson.
There was no one killed in the
wreck, but one stock man from
Texas, was badly injured. A
car load of cattle next to the ca-
boose was completely demoraliz-
ed and all the cattle killed or
injured. Sunday morning the
wrecker from Monett. Mo., pass-
ed through this place going to
Dawson, and by late in the after-
noon the rubbish had been clean-
ed away sufficiently so traffic
could again be continued. _
Many of the people of Catoosa
went down on the afternoon pas-
senger train and looked at the
wreck.
The cause is attributed to the
negligence of the rear breakman.

over will and carry will to act

"He'sa \ucky dog,' you say
Of him who now can rest,
Who whiles away the summer
day—
Contentment in his breast.
Wfcp owns a cottage by the lake,
And there beneath a tree,
Is able now his rest to take—
A lucky dog is he.
While you are toiling in the heat
Of noonday sun he lies
Under the grass so cool and sweet
And looks into the skies.
You envy him and wish that you,
Like him, could sit and rest:
The lucky dog with naught to do
Who only knows the best.
But envy is a vicious jade,
Who leads us far astray.

Cotton Fields in the Arctics
The climax of nature's irony
in the anctics is the cotton plant.
Wherever cotton blooms, declares
the miner, ice is not far below.
One may trudge for many miles
through fields of cotton, the
white silky tops swaying defi-
nately in the arctic breeze. The
blossom is silky, dainty, illusive
as the down of our own yellow
dandelion on its way to seed.
From June until late August the
tundra is white with the cotton
plant. Unlike the cotton of the
