The foundation for the Ijelicf that the construction will be taken up and completed some day lies in the fact that a large sum of money has al ready been spent. Over ifSO.uiKJ lias been paid out lor titles to rignt 01 way, and thousands of dollars have been expended on the work of survev and construction. This expenditure would cut little figure if it were not for the fact that the road is acknowl edged by nearly all practical railroad men as a good business proposition. There is bitter disappointment strongly manifest in those who had sold right or way to the company with the belief that they were aiding in bringing to their doors a railroad which would market their crops and do awav with a team haul of l to 20 miles. An Old Story. It is the old storv of railroad wreck ing bv manipulating stock. The rail road scheme was recognized by mon eyed men as a" good thing. , They secured a majority interest and then said to the t. Louis contingent, Take what we offer now or what you ran get after we abandon the line." Their offer was a fair one as money transactions go, and ai cash values are estimated, but the future for which these men had planned and builded was not provided for. It is admitted, but not stated ly men who' are in a position to know something of the matter, that there is strong probability that the road will be continued to Clinton antra while, as there is already so much money ex pended that it would be cbeaiier to finish than quit.

The line between St. Louis and Peoria will be operated by the Northern Miort Line staff lor tbe present. Changes to be brought about by the sale of the projnjrty to the Alton svndicate will probably not be announced until after the return of President Harriman from Alaska. The closing of the Chicago freight terminus June 15, and the stoppage of work on the northern extension are the only direct results as yet of the change 01 ownership. Cook I lis I'npils Concert.

Mr father was a southerner, and therefore we always had coffee three times a nay, and us a result, area very nervous family. I coukl not break off from the eofTeo habit until I found a delightful bever age in the Postum Food Coffee. I have learned to like it better than coffee. We did net like it at first. lecause it was not made according to directions, but since we have come to know that it must be boiled, we are enthusiastic in its praise. I erne lessons in cookinir. and am naturally brouirht in contact with a jrreat many people whose habits of food and drink I learn. I find that many families have come to know of the advantage of Postum Food Coffee and have abandoned common ooITpa altogether. I could send vou a long list of these if you care for it. I cannot speak too hirhly in praise of Postum. I have often wished I could afford to buy a few dollars' worth and rrive it to those who are sufferiug from the drug contained in ordinary coffee and who would le o-lad . ?- to know that they could have a delici ous cud 01 neat tn co ice.

Haviland. conceived the idea of in- troducinir French China into this country, and of organizing- and carry ing on in Limoges a great decorating shop ana pottery which should turu out shapes and decorations in French china dinnerware suitable for Ameri can taste. This idea, with character istic American enterprise, aided bv ample capital, he carried to a point which has revolutionized the produc tions of Limoges? and has given to Haviland china a distinctive character such as no other ware possesses. There have been imitations; the fame it justly holds has made many dealers trv to sell as "Haviland china" the product of other factories than that founded by D. Daviland.
