THELIFlTSTORY OF
MRS. T. J. McDERMOTT
The Herald clips the following from
a recent issue of the Liberal News,
which will probably be interesting to
many of our readers:
Her life's story is briefly told in a
late article in the Liberal Newt, un-
der the title, "The "First White
Woman to Live in this City." A part
of the story follows:
"Thirty-five years ago today,,
April 6, 1888, Mr. snd Mrs. T. J. Mc
Dermott camP to Liberal, she beinsr
the first white woman to live in this
city. Cominsr to Kansas in 1886, they
pushed westward through the state
With the vanguard of progress, the
railroad. They had charge of the
boarding train and provided meals
lor the men who laid the steel for the
main line of the Rock Island through
the state, as well as the line north in-
to Nebreska, and south through Wich-
ita and into Oklahoma. Thus be-
coming acquainted with the various
■actions of the country. They went
to Horton when it was a com field, to
Topeka when there were no sidewalks
or pavements; to Wichita when it
had known its boom days and its bad
days. Their train was at Pis ins and
Mrs. McDermott was in St. Joseph
baying supplies when the word was
given out that construction work on
the railroad would stop at Liberal.
Mrs. McDermott had bought between
|800 and $<>00 worth of supplies. She
cancelled the order and hurried back
to Plains. Meeting this situation as
they had met others which were dis-
couraging, they came to Liberal two
days after the road reached here. For
•tveral days Mrs. McDermott was the
only white woman on the townsite."
Mrs. McDermott was a member of
tfca Eastern Star, the W. C. T. U.. the
Ladies' Aid, and waa a charter mem-
bar of the Christian church of Lib-
«ral. She and her good husband uni-
tad with the Christian Church 58
yttri ago. Har faith and devotion
,/OW a constant inspiration to all.
I —$he '.laves to mourn ner loss a hua
I band who has shsred with her the
toys and sorrows of a long and faith-
ful pilgrimage, two daughters, her
frond children, many other relatives
and an innumerable company of dear
friends in all parts of the west. Her
long and useful life is fitly described
bv the oronhetic promise given Job:
"Thou shalt come to thy grave in a
tall age, like as a shock of corn in
aaason." Our sister hss s truly
ripened life and was ready for the
angelic reapers who came to carry
her to her eternal home. Her philo
"Sophy of daily life is summed up in
the oocm by Foss: "Bv the Side of
the Road." "I«et me live in a house
b' the side of the road and be «
friend to man."

IN the pretentious aad famous
Jackson Square of New Orleans,
stands the Cabildo, which served
as half tavern, half public hall
from the time of its building in
1788, until recent years, and in
which one of the most momentous
events of our national history took
place.
It was in the Cabildo that the
articles were signed w! ich trans-
ferred Louisiana from France to
the United States, tnd it waa di-
rectly in front of this building thst
the Stars snd Striqes first floated
over New Orleans. Later the placo
be came famous beta use of its his-
torical associations. Lafayette wm
also quartered there at one time.

—where Louisiana became American
A SINGLE historical event occurring in a tavern in
the days of the past was sufficient to insure fame
and continued patronage to that place. Today the tale
is different. The task today is not to house one great
gathering or to please one famous man-but to please
hundreds of people every day.
The Hotel Lassen. Wichita, Kanaas, is nationally known as a
first class hotel, not because of those who have stopped here or the
historic deeds done, but because of the uniform excellence of its
complete service and accommodations, a welcoming spirit and a
rate of charge commensurate with the pocketbooksof all patrons.
The Lassen is located near all theatres, retail stores and main
office buildings.
