It was her gentle boast that abe had attended most of the outstand- Ing expositions of nearly half a cen- tury. Her first one was the Centen- niai exposition in Philadelphia, in 1876. On this journey she also visited Washington and Mount Ver- non. In 1884 she attended the New Orleans exposition; in 1893 the Chi- cago exposition, in 1698 the Omaba exposition, in 1904 the St. Louis ex- position, and in 1900 the Paris ex- position, which she thought not at all comparable to the Chicago World's Fair, which abe described as "a grandi affair." It was at Chicago that she met Susan B. Anthony, and heard her address the suffrage convention.
PUBLISHES MEMORIES
At the St. Louis "fair." true Mia- sourian that she was, she pointed out that "the most conspicuous object In the Palace of Agriculture was the corn palace of Missouri, great towers being constructed entirely of Mis- souri corn."
Mrs. Colby wrote a great deal-
songs for her pupils to sing, poems and essays for the various organiza- tions in which she was active. propa- ganda verses for suffrage and kind- ness to animals, and descriptions of her travels for newspapers and other publications. In 1916 she published a small volume of reminiscencea.
With all har Interests, probably her most ardent enthusiasm was for birds and for animal life-aside, of course, from her pupila. These she always taught the love of birds and animais as a regular part of their classwork.

BUILT BIRD REFUGE
+
Her garden and bird refuge in the little home, modeled after & Swiss chalet, which the built st 459 South Grant street, was a spot of beauty and interest to Springfieldiana for years. A field of June-blooming lilles, fragrant and white, especially won great admiration and comment.
Her lawn had some fine maplen. and in their shade, for the comfort of birds, she had bird platforms in which fresh water was placed in im- maculate containers every morning. and on which food as well was plac- ed during the winter. Her love of bird and animal life went so far that sho championed vegetarianism, and especially deplored the eating of fowl, Including Thanksgiving turkey.
Her cottage was filled with curlos, pictures, and relics of her travels which she treasured and always dis- played with affection.
During the winter of 1924-5 she was frall and Ill; and before another winter, on October 14, 1925. she moved to the Mary E. Wilson home. Last spring she was ill for a long while, but regained her strength dur- Ing the summer, and seemed as well as usual at Christmas. Friday even- ing, quietly. she slipped away on a far journey, eager, we may belleva, for the adventuring that age and frailty deprived her of here any longer.

IT'S A HARDER GAME

A reporter-friend visited Mr. Smith Friday night in his beautiful old home at 1889 North Jefferson avenue. which he built a number of years ago.
"What the reporter wanted in know. "is the difference between 10% and when you first we :.. lo work for the F:Ico? What of the new cooperation. and of changing theories of competition?"
"The game." sald Mr. Smith. "is harder than it ever was before. They expect more of you nowadays. That Is as it should be-it's just good management. Feeling toward the . Frico naturally has changed a great deal xin. . I went to work for the

It was in 1874 that Mr. Smith be- gan tinkering with a telegraph key In the Missouri-Paciflo station et Kirkwood, where his family's home was situated. He picked it up quick - Ly and then decided to quit high school and go to work. They gave him the job of night operator at the Kirkwood station.
His first Job he beld for atx months before one of the early "economy" moves of the railroad cut out some of the older men and put him out of work. He was transferred im- mediately to Carondelet (South 8t. Louis) and put to work as a clerk in the Missouri-Pacifio freight office there. He earned promotion to the position of chief clerk and cashier in the office before being transferred to work in the office of C. G. Warner. then auditor of the road. In 1886 ho quit railroad work to keep books for . St. Louis business house, but went to the Frisco the next year as cashier of the freight station st Paris, Texas.
1 WHEN FRISCO WAS SMALL -
It was just three months after be -

went to Paris, until January 1, 1888. to be exact, that Mr. Smith was ap- pointed passenger agent for the Frisco at Paris. The Frisco wasn't much of a system in that day. Paris was one terminus, Ellsworth, Kan., another, and Vinita, Okis, the third. The Frisco passenger station at Paris Law two passenger trains a day-one going each way-and they were only five-car trains.
When Mr. Smith was transferred from Paris to Springfield on October 15, 1892, beginning his long term of service here, he found the passenger station near the old Ozark hotel. landmark recently gutted by fire. Ho had an office at the passenger sta- tion, another near the corner of Com- mercial street and Boonville avanue. and a third at Phelps and Jefferson. where a coal company now stands. The Frisco's "High Line" man only to Bolivar. The Chadwick branch was about as it now appears.
1 HAD WORSE CARS HERE
Two other railroads gave the Frisco hot competition in the early days of Mr. Smith's experiences here. The Kansas City, Fort Scott and Hamphis was the big competitor. with its sta- tion where the present Prisco pes- Lenger station is situated, and the Kansas City. Clinton and Springfield also troubled.
Springfield, Mr. Smith remembers, had a population of 23.000 when he came here, and horse can still operat- ed on traction lines running out Elm street and to Doling park. There was an electric line around the Benton and Boonville avenue loop.
Mr. Smith has far outlived old competitors for Springfields shipping E. K. Smytha. commercial agent for the Memphis Line. when he came here, and E. J. Perry, tha Mem- phis' local agent, both are dead.
It was in 1898 that Mr. Smith Mw the first of the Frisco general of- fices begin moring into the old Ozark hotel. There :.- ... red until the presert Frisco buildnig was erected years later.

He doesn't want to quit working for the Frisco-it seems strange and unnatural for him to visit his old office and not go to work-but he thinks perhaps it's best that they forced him out before he was too old to be interested in anything else. When he gets back home after ram- bling about California with Mm. Smith, he's going to look about for a business position with enough work attached to keep him "on his toes "
