“German
Syrup”
Judgr J. B. Hill, ofthe Superior
Court, Walker county, Georgia,
thinks enough of German Syrup to
send us voluntarily a strong letter
endorsing it. When men of rank
and education thus use and recom
mend an article, what they say is
worth the attention of the public.
It is above suspicion. ‘* I have used
your German Syrup,” he says, “for
my Coughs and Colds on the Throat
and Lungs. I can recommend it for
them as a first-class medicine.”—

A Remarkable Table.
Wb«n 9,000 plecea of thlrty-nlna different
kind* of wood are pnt In a table, the Job oo>
copying thirty year*, la la certain that some
one baa an Infinite amount of patience and a
remarkable gift of continuance. Such a table
wae made by the ladles nf Girard, Kanaaa.and
la now on exhibition In the woman's parlor of
the Kansas state building at Jackaon park.
It contains twenty-four kinds of native
wood, u follows: Hard pine, soft pine, syca
more, white birch, black walnut, white
cherry, oak, hard maple, soft maple, butter
nut, white ash. gray a*b, white elm, poplar,
red cedar, yellow cedar, mulberry redbud,

California red wood; and fifteen kinds of Im
ported wood, black ebony, tulip wood, coco
bola. red rosewood, yellow rosewood, Cuba
mahogany, Bt. Domingo Spanish Cedar, bay
wood, English walnut, white holly, satin
wood, anake wood, lignum vltate and sandal
wood. The table Is the size and style of an
ordinary stand table. The top la made of In
laid wood very attractive In design.
Not Sure it was His Own Hat.
Gen. Wrlglit, while In New York on a re
cent trip, put up at a big Broadway hotel,
where they have one of those door boy* at the
entrance to ine dining-room with n memory
that Is phenomenal. When Gen. Wrlglit went
In to dlnucr upon bis arrival the boy took bis
bat and put It In the rack along with n couple
of hundred others, many of thorn seemingly
exactly like It. About three-quarters of an
hour later the general strolled out and uskod
for his hat. Instead of picking over the en
tire lot In the rack ns the general more than
half expected he would, the boy selected the
general's hat as though by Intuition and
banded It to him.
“Howrdld you know that was my liatl*’
asked (MU Wright, his curiosity aroused.
“I Uldfrt know 'twas your hat, boss,” said
the boy, “but I knowed hit was the liut you

STILL FIGHTING SMOKE.
St. I.oals (letting Illd of an Old-Time
Nuisance—Solidity of Western Banks.
St. Louis, May 20. —The agitation
against smoke has proved a great suc
cess in St. Louis and it is no.v evi
dent that consuming devices will be
in use generally within a few months.
Nearly two thoui-nnd citizens have
joined the local Smoke Abatement As
sociation and some of the worst of
fenders are included in these. Tlio
willingness expressed on nil hands to
put in smoke-consuming devices is so
groat, nnd so many are going to do
the work this summer, thut by the
time tho fall festivity season opem
there will bo comparatively little
smoko in the business sectiou of the
city and one very unsatisfactory
feature of most advertising cities wiil
disappear entirely.
The uction of the St. Louis banks in
contributing some 82,000,000 in gold to
■ saint in restoring tho traditional
hundred millions, nnd Iho ease with
which ten times the amount could
have been contributed had it beo n
needed, has callca atteution to tho
very conservative manner in which tho
bauku of St. Louis aie run. Wliilo
the bank clearings have been doub
ling themselves tho number of banks
has increased but slightly. Hence
nearly nil the financial institutions
are old established and the business
they are transacting is of a most
Erofltable character. Most of them
ave been through no less than three
periods of discouraging, financial de
pression and havo weathered the
storms without an effort. It Is many
years since there was a run on a bank
in St. Louis and such an event is
really well nigh impossible.
The Travelers’ Protective Associa
tion, whose national president re
sides in St. Louis, is arranging for a
remarkable celebration in Chicago on
June 10, after the holding of the
Peoria convention. For all practical
purposes June 10 will be T. P. A. day
at the World s Fair, und several thou
sand angels of commerce will be on
hand on that occasion. Mr. Geo. S.
McGrew, who has been national presi
dent for several successive years, has
definitely declined to serve again ow
ing to the pressure of business engage
ments, and one of the important events
at the convention will be tho selection
of his suoccssor.
Last year there was u lad working
in a florist’s shop here who thought ho
was not getting on fast enough. It
occured to him that inuny people of
smnll means would ho willing to pay
a trifle to havo small bouquets de
livered to them every day for their
dinner table. He spoke to his em
ployer about it, and was sneered at.
Ale got a friend to lend him enough
money to send out soveral thousand
circulars, choosing his names judi
ciously, and enclosed postal cards in
each circular for an answer. Ho got
so many encouraging responses that
he felt justified in plunging into busi
ness for himself, and left his employer.
Now, a littlo over twelve months
since he scut out his first circulars, ho
Is letting the contracts for a store and
hot house which will cost him several
thousand dollars. His idea was a
good one, and he says that he sends
out several hundred bouquets a day,
charging from twenty-five cents to ten
dollars apiece for them.
The plans for tho free batli-liouscs
which are to be built this spring in
time to be used this summer have been
completed by the architects of tho
Board of Public Improvements. There
will be three, one in South St. Louis,
one in the center of the citj', and tho
other in North St. Louis. The cost of
the three is to be $135,000. They will
not be put on the river, but will bo
away fioru it tome distance, and this
water will come from the city water
works.

exhibit at the
World’s Fair is
among the most in
tero sting. The
; State building, a
picture of which
accompanies this
article, was erected
at a cost of 850,000.
In addition to the
building Michigan
will have a logging
T
camp on exhibition, displaying the
workings of one of the chief indus
tries of the Wolverine .State, The
State building is 101x144 feet in ground
dimensions, and three stories high,
with a tower containing two stories
more. It is surrounded on three sides

and fronts to the north and west. The
first floor contains the ofllc.-s, men’s re
ception and club rooms, a Indies’ par
lor. reading und reclining rooms,
toilet and check rooms; also u barber
*hop, cigar and news stand, a post
aflice, bureau of information, where
•very Michigan visitor is expected to
register, giving botii his home and
Chicago addresses. The general re
ception room is being finished and will
be furnished bv Saginaw County at an
expense of 8-1,000, and Muskegon
County is doing the fame thing with
the club-room, spending $3,000. The
Indies' parlor aud reading-room have
been decorated aud furnished by the
leading society women of Grand
Rapids at a cost of SO,OIO. The main
corridor, SO feet long and 40 feet wide,
has a large fireplucent one side, around
which is placed a SI,OOO mantel fur
nished by the Widdicomb Mnntci Com
pany of Grand Rapids. There will
also be fireplaces in the ladies’ parlor
and the Saginaw and Muskegon rooms.
The floors of the corridor and hallways
are made of Michiguu tile,all the wood
used in the building came from Michi
gan, and most of the construction
worlc was done by Michigan workmen.
The interior finish of the first nnd
second stories is in Michigan rod oak.
When passing up the broad stairway
leading to the second floor the visitor
will be confronted at a half-way land
ing by an elegant marble bust of Gen.
Cass. On the second floor will be found
a newspaper exhibit in a largo room
fitted and furnished with chairs,
tables, and other conveniences for the
comfort and convenience of newspaper
peop'.c. Tho exhibit will contain
the last copy of every paper in
the State printed prior to May 1, as
well as subsequent copies of every
paper giving an account of the open
ing of the fair. On this floor is also a
large assembly-room furnished with a
pipe organ by Farrand & Volty of De
troit. Here will be held the meetings,
social gatherings, and banquets; and
there is also a room for State exhibits,
40x70, in which the university nt Ann
Arbor is mu king a natural history dis
play. and where exhibits from the
various State institutions will bo made
in glass cases. A prospective map of
the State, 12x14 feet in size nnd costing
815.000 is a feature of the show.
Tho third floor will be devoted to
sleeping rooms. Tho tower carries an
illuminated clock having a six-foot
dial.
In the Mineral Department Mines
Building a Michigan exhibit will be
displayed in a pavillion made of stone,
iron ore, copper,crystalized salt,silver,
gold, granite, marble, verdo antique,
and other specimens of mineral taken
from the quarries and mines of Michi
gan. One of the uniquo attractions
inside this pavillion will be a biblical
representation of Lot’s wife turned
to a pillar of salt. There will also be
a specimen of copper ore as it comes
out of the mine, US per cent pure and
weighing 10,C0i> pounds. The cost of
this pavillion is estimated at $20,000.
It will stand in the center of the build
ing opposite Germany and England,
and was constructed under the
supervision of l’eter White, member of
the board for Marquette, and Jay A.
Hubbell of Houghton.
In the Agricultural Building Michi
gan has erected another fino booth on
2,000 square feet of space, in tho cen
ter of which stands a Corinthan tem
plo surrounded by a shield with the
coat of arms of the State. The booth
is filled with tho choicest collection of
grains, grasses, and other products of
the farms of the Wolverine State. In
this collection the State Agricultural
College is represented by a fine dis
play. Vice-President E. H. Belding is
m charge of this part of the show.

the medal for the beat chow of fruit,
but the exhibit made there will be
nothing in comparison with the one
that will be made at Jackson Park this
year. The State will have in Horti
cultural Hall • large and varied dis
play of winter applea, pears, canned
fruite, jama, and jellies that are being
kept in eotd storage. There will also
be a ehow of wan models of every
variety of finite, bmtss, and rege-
jtojfngife
Kinds of new fruit, each specimen in
its fcason. Arrangements have been
made to bring the shipments by boat
across tho lake and have them arrive
fresh every morning. This no gother
State can do. As a result Michigan
expects to tempt the mouths of visit
or* with the most luscious berries,
cherries, peaches, pears, plums, und
apples that ever grew.
in forestry the exhibit contains
seventy-six varieties of wood and the
different uses to which they may be
put, and there are specimens in the
rough as well as iu the various stages
of manufacture. A tiue pavillion has
been erected for this exhibit in the
Forestry Building.
In addition the State has an outdoor
space just south of Machinery Hall and
near the sawmill, where has been con
structed a genuine lodging camp
seventy feet long and twenty feet wide.
It has'been the exact reproduction of
the camps Michigan lumbermen live
in, and the daily bill of fare, corn
bread, pork, and beans, strong black
coffee, etc., is the same ns they have in
the woods. Besides the camp there is
in the show the largest load of logs
ever put on sleigh nnd drawn by a
s’ngle span of horses. It contains
311,000 feet of lumber, weighs 115 tons,
nnd was drawn a quarter of a mile
dowij grade by a pair of horst s whose
combined weight is 4,000 pounds. It
required nine fiat ears to bring these
logs to Chi qigo. They were cut and
sent by Nester Bros, of iiarago, on the
Sturgeon River. It was necessary to
have eight car loads for the camp.
There was a sleigh lond of logs half
the size of this one nt the Centennial.
It uttracted a great deal of attention
Tliis one is expected to create a sensa
tion. Near tho camp will be a log
train of five ears and all about tho
place specimens of the tools used by
lumbermen from the opening of the
first camp in Michigan down to the
present time.
AN HEIR APPARENT.
A True I.lkcncnH of Prlni-ess Kalulnnl
of Unwell.
In tho heat of all the discussion re
garding the proposed annexation of
Hawaii the greatest interest lias cen
tered in the young Princess Victoria
lCaiulani. The picture of her which :
we give is an excellent likeness, repro- j
dueed from a copyright photograph by
Elmer Chickoriug of Boston. The
Princess is 17 years
of age, and for four
years lias been
studying in Eng
land to lit herself
to be un intelligent
ruler. Her favorite
accomplishment is
painting, in which
she excels. She is ‘
also a good inusi
cia n, inheriting ‘
her talent from her
mother, Princess
Likiliki, who was :
l I'RINCKSS KAIUI.ANI.
something of a composor. Princess 1
Kuiulnni expected to remain in Eng
land till her eighteenth birthday, but
the recent occurrences have altered that
plan, nnd her stay will be determined
by the action of tho Commission now
investigating the case. The young girl
has done her utmost in defense of her i
rights, and seemingly she lias obtained |
satisfactory assurances from the Exec
utive at Washington.
Aeronautic Skill.
The number of a balloonist’s ascents
docs not give the measure of his skill.
Ills descents are the real tests. Says
an aeronaut: "Tho balloon makes tho
ascent for you, but you must arrange
the descent and mukc it for yourself,
lfyoulcavo it to the balloon, all the
happy chances in life may not save
you. It is possible that j-ou may not
come down at all. I know a man who
made two ascents and one descent.
When ho was four miles high the bal
ioon wnsstruck by lightning, and it
aud p]l its contents were swept into
space. For all I know, they are ut
this day revolving in impalpable dust
around the earth.” Such a statement
is worth considering before taking
very extended aerial journeys. Most
of us would object to becoming star
dust, and few are sufficiently brilliant.
Hansom Cabs.
Joseph Hansom, the inventor of tho
Hansom cab, sold liis rights to n com- i
pauy for $50,000, which he never re-J
ceivcd. Ho appears to have been !
quite an unfortunate genius, for he j
was an architect by profession, his j
most important work being the old
Birmingham Town Hall. The con
tract, instead of benefiting him, drove
him into bankruptcy, llansotn, who
was born in 1803, lived till nearly 80
years of age, so that ho had the poor
satisfaction of seeing how much tho
people of London appreciated his in
vention.
The Largest English Farm.
The honor of possessing the largest
farm in England must be given to the
owner of Withcall Farm, near Louth
in Lincolnshire. We learn that the
farm consists of tho whole parish of
Withcall and seventy acres in Wclton
le-Wold, and contains: Arable, 2,000
acres; plantations (about) 00 acres;
total, 2,500 acres. There are sixty cot
tages with gardens on the farm, all oc
cupied by the farm laborers, ami all
supplied with water from the works on
the estate.
A Novel Match.
Two well-known Paris fencers—MM.
Rose and Chevillard —have arranged
a novel kind of match. The champions
will run a race of 100 kilometers—
sixty-two milas—on bicj'clettes, after
which both fencers will jump from
their machines and see whether their
ride has impaired the cunning of their
wrists. Foils will bo banded to the
two athletes immediately after the
velocipede race has been run, and %
fencing match commenced.
Queen Occupations.
Perhaps the most curious occupation
conceived by a woman is that of dinner
taster. Bhs is a product of Parisian
refinement as yet unknown in this
country. She spends a part of each
day in visiting dooms and tasting the
dlshee intended for dinner. She sug
gests improvements, and shows the
•Mk new ways of jpraparinf dishes.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
The station at Swampy Corners was
novor u picturesque spot, oven in
tho bluo glow of tho s-.inniost Juno
day; but on this chill October night,
with the first snow flakes of tho
ccason oddying in the slow, undecided
way that first snowllakos hove,
through tho gray air, and the tall
hemlocks swaying this way and that
in the raw wind, it looked especially
dreary.
Frally Elkton Bhuddcrod as she
stood looking out of one of tho panes
of glass clumsily inserted in tho long
frnmo work byway of window.
"No, Miriam,” she said, “you can't
ff°”
"But I’vo got to go!” said Miriam
Mudgo. sympathetically compressing
her lip 3 us she tightened tho straps
of tho pared sho was fastening oua
notch at a time.
“And leave mo hero alone?”
“Nobody won’t hurt you, I reckon,”
said Miriam, a strong-featured woman
of 40, with a bristling upper lip like
a man’s.
••If you go,” said Emily, “I’ll go
too!”
"Not much,” composedly spolco
Miriam; "thar ain’t room in Peto
Muller’s buckboard for so much ns u
eheot of paper artor mo an’ him’s in.
Besides, wlmt'll your Uncle Absalom
say when lie comos back and finds no
body hero? Ef tho lire goes out,
everything'll froezo stiff, and— Yes,
l’oto, I’m a cornin’; thar ain't no need
to stand there a-bellerin’ like a Texas
steer! Good-byo, Emily! Oh, I for

lowering her voice, although there
was no ono but the gray cut by the
atovo to hear tho words. "Tho

chest under your uncle’s bed. I
reckoned it ’ud bo safer thar than in
tho money drawer. Don't forget to
givo it to him fust thing ho gets
bade. ”
“Forget!” echoed Emily, wringing
| her hands in frantic desperation.
"But 1 won’t bo left in charge of it!
I I'll assume no such responsibility. I
insist upon your taking it with you!”
Tho remonstrance, however, came
; too Miriam bawled out some
indistinct reply and tho next sound
.Miss Elkton hoard was tho creaking
of tho buckboard wagon as it turned
'the sharp curve below tho gleaming
j lino of tho railway switches.
“Sho’a gone,” cried Emily, clasp
ing her hands liko tho tragic muse,
"and left mo nlone with all thut
money! And tho navvy camp only
three miles up tho mountains, full of
Italians and Chinese and the miners
at Lake Lodi and tho whole neigh
borhood infested with desperadoes!
And Uncle Absalom not expected
homo until 2 o'clock in the morning,
and tho bolt broken off tho door, and
tho key’s a misfit, and nothing but u
I hook and staple between me and de
struction! Oh, why didn't 1 stay in
Rhode Island? What evil spirit pos
! sessed mo to come out here to Dako
ta, where ono might ns well bo buried
' alive and done with it?”
Emily Elkton sat down and cried
heartily, rocking herself forward and
back and sobbing out aloud, liko a
child whoso slice of bread and treacle
had boon taken away from it. And
not until tho cumllo flared up, with
un extra-sized "winding-sheet”
wrapped around its wick and tlio eat
rubbed itsolf persistently against her
knee,did sho arouso to tho quadruple
fact that puss wanted her supper, the
drowns low, tho candlo needed snuff
ing and thero was no sort of use in
tears.
Emily had come out Wost, partly
hecutiso thero seemed nothing to do
at homo and partly because Uncle
Absalom had written that (.no of his
nino niccos would come very humly
for a houseaeopor at Swampy Cor
ners. in tho state of Dakota, if sho
could be apnrod.
Tho latter sontenco was intended
on his part for a sarcasm, but the
Elkton family hud received It all in
good faith und hold many u delibera
tion beforo thoy consented to let otic
of tho nino young birds flutter out of
tho homo nest.
And more especially sho had come
I becauso sho had incidohtaliy learned
I that Andrew Markham was ono of
j tho engineors in charge of the naw
! lino of railway on tho other slopo of
the mountain, which undertaking in
volved tho navvy camp and tho great
! derricks and steam-drills and tho
i gangs of slit-oyod Chincso and dark
browod Italians.
"Not that that signifies,” Emily
had plausibly told herself. “But of
course, it’s plonsant to bo somewhere
within a hundred milo3 of an old
acquaintance.”
j Andrew Markham had boon to see
hor twico and both timos sho had
made up hor mind that tho far West
was tho only place to live in.
j "Ho expects to settlo hero,” sho
thought, with a soft, pink color suf
fusing lior fuco. "lie says ho has
already bought a sunny slopo of
land, where ho means to build a
houso nnd bring a wife when ho can
afford it. Ho thinks that life hero
means twice what it does in the effete
civilization of tho East.”
But to-night, with tho darkness
wrapping tho litt'e depot liko a
blanket, and tho wind howling down
tho mountain gorge. Miss Elkton
would not at all liavo objected to
some of that samo “offete civiliza
tion.”
J Alono in tho houso! During tho
wnolo of her sojourn ut Swampy Cor
ners such a thing Lad never hap-
I pened to her before.
Uncle Absalom had occasionally
been absent, it was true, but Miriam
Mudge was always thero to bear her
company until his return. Now that
a sudden summons from her father.
■ hurt in an accident in tho sawmill on
I Ragged river, six miles bolow, had
| called Miriam away, poor Emily was
all in a flutter.
True, the one train a day which
stopped at tho station was not due
until seven in the morning. The
telegraph office was closed, and there
was absolutely no care for her to as
sume except to put another log of
wood on the air-tight stove and go
quietly to bed.
But the very sense of solitude ap
palled her. She shivered at the very
oliok of the snowflakes against the
window, the ereak of the boards ip
the floor, the slow drip of tho water
into the kitchen sink, where Uncle
▲Meat k«4 recently introduced the
fcf»Hiui nlftvttortfl*

connected by pipes with the spring
in the spruce glen above.
••Why couldn't Miriam have stopped
at one of the neighbors' houses and
sent some one to keep mo company?”
she repined. “Andrew nays thero are
some nice girls ut Alraoiidslcy, down
the mountain, und ho said ho'd i»ke
to introduce mo to Marietta Mix,
who teaches Sunday school in tho
South Cleating. und docs tpyo-wr'.liug
for the company on wcok days. I’m
sorry, now, that I tossed my head,
and put on airs, and said I did not j
care to mingle in the society hcrea- !
bouts. I must have appoured hate
ful enough. Gracious, what was 1
; that?' 1
It was tho clock striking nine, and
then Ktnlly remembered that sho had
had no supper. Nervously glanoing
around her, sho tip-toed to tho cup
board, and took a glass of milk and a
little bread and chcoso. As she re
placed the tumbler on the shelf she
heard footsteps on the frozen ground
outsido.
••It's my imagination,” she said,
after listening for n second “Hut I j
won’t he frightened so. I will bo
bravo.” .Sho took a hatchet, and i
sallying forth, opened tho collar I
door. “If any tme comes he’ll sail
down thoro before ho cun get to the i
door,” said she.
And with two prodigious slashes of
the hatchet she cut away the board
path which led acro.-s a series of rug
ged boulders to the railway platform.
“There,” sho cried, hurrying back
to tho inside warmth and brightness,
as if a whole brigade of pursuers
woro ut her hods, "that’s done. 1
feel safer now. But f must hang the
lantern out before Undo Absalom
comes back. I don't want him to
full down and break his dear old
neck!”
.She had just, seated herself with a
sigh of relief when something like a
big firefly blazed on her vision fora
brief second only: then it was gone.
“A dark lantern!” she said to her
self. “I arn sure now that I hoar
tho sound of feet on tho platform.
There are two or three people there
—perhaps more. They havo learned
that I am alone with all that money!”
She clasped her hands over her e.vos,
and shivered as sho heard a crash, a
smothered exclamation, a suppressed
buzz of voices, “Somoono has fallen
down the cellar! Oh, how fortun
ate it was I thought of that!”
And now u low whisper came up
through tho carelessly-joined boards
of the floor. She could distinguish
the words, “Hold on! Ho careful!
Tho front door is fastened, for I
tried it. You can all of you get
down cellar, and como up that way."
Emily’s heart gave an exultant
jump. The cellar door, a mass of
timber in which sho had the fullest
confidence, was securely bolted. .She
peered out into the stormy darkness.
By the occassional ly displayed gleam
of the lantern sho could see a hud
dlod mass of figures creeping down
tho collar steps.
l.ast of all disappeared tho lantern
itself, ono leisurely step at a time:
and then, consummating a plan which
sho had long been concocting in her
mind, Emily made a dash out into
the night, closed tho two divisions of
the cellar doer with a bang, barred
them, and fled panting into the house.
By this time there was a brisk
knocking at the cellar door, a crying
out of, “Open the door! Let us in!”
Hut to t'oeso calls Emily Elkton
paid no heed, and it was only when a
hand was suddenly laid on her
shoulder from behind that she ut
tered a piercing scream and lost all
her presenco of mind.
“Why, Emmy!” exclaimed a fumil
iar voice. “Why, child, v.hat’s tho
matter?”
‘•Oh, Uncle Absalom, how you
frightened me! Oh. dear, tho cellar
is full of burglars and robbers! Beach
down your gun! Got tho hot-water
kettle!”
“Burglars, eh?” said Uncle Absa
lom. “Bobbers? Why, wliar onyartli
did they como from'.’ Sure ye ain't
mistook, sissy? Anyhow, I'll bo
ready for ’em.”
He advanced towards tho cellar
door with his loaded revolver in his
hand.
“Whoever ye be,” ho shouted,
“tell us what your business is or take
this! Don’t hold my arm, sissy!
Thoro can't no more'n one at a time
como up these ’cro cellar stairs, and
I reckon I'm a match for that much,
if I bo old an’ stitT!”
To Emily’s infinite alarm lie un
bolted tho cellar door and Hung it
wide open.
There, crowding on the narrow
wooden steps, stood Andrew Mark
ham, the Miss Alraondsleys, Leonidas
Mix and sister Marietta, and Doctor
ClllTo's two chubby daughters.
••We came,” paid Markham, rather
shamefacedly, “to give Miss Elktou a
birthday surprise. Wo aro sorry
that ”
"Walk in—walk in!” cried Undo
Absalom, his face ono full moon of
broad smiles. “No noed of bein’
sorry for nothin'. You’re nil wel
come! How on earth did ye know it
was Emmy’s twentieth birthday?”
“Marietta has baked a cake.” said
Leonidas,“and tho C’lifTo girls brought
a jug of lent: nude, and it was broken
when I tumbled down cellar, and—”
••Oh, that don’t matter none!”
beamed Uncle Absalom. “We re aw
ful pleased to see you—ain't wo,
Emily?”
In this auspicious manner began
Emily Elkton’a first acquaintance
with the young pooplc who wore des
tined to be her lifelong neighbors.
“Hut really,” sho said, half crying,
half laughing, “I thought you wero
all banditti.”
••It's my fault,” acknowledged hon
est Marietta Mix. “I was determined
that you should have a surprise.
Andrew wasn’t half willing, but I in
sisted. You sco, 1 didn't think there
would over beany other way of get
ting acquainted with you. Miss Klk
ton. And wo knew that Andrew was
so interested in you.”
“Nonsonso!” cried Emily, blushing.
“Is it nonsense, though!” retorted
Marietta. Well, time will show.”
And time did show. Six months
afterward—but, after all, where is
tho use of turning over the leaves of
tho book of fate? Let all true lovers
guess for themselves how tho matter
ended.
“But.” Emily acknowledged in her
turn, “I never was so frightened in
my life as at first and never so happy
as 1 was at last.”
And she uever returned to town
life.—N. Y. Mercury.

The J.ateat Achievement tn Kallroarilnc-
This Columbian year, with its many
evidences of the wondoful prog.e s
of the country, has not produced a
more striking illustration than that
shown by the transportation lines the i
latest and most remarkable nehieve
raent of all being 1 the placing in serv
ice of a train between Chicago and
New York making the trip in twenty
hours, including stops. Modern s. i
cnee jyid skill has produced engines
capable of running a hundred miles or
moro an hour; Jt therefore only re
mained necessary to find a perfectly
level roadway free from sharp curves
to make the running of really fast j
trains not only possible, b it perfectly
practicable and with the same regu
larity and freedom from accident
that characterizes the handling j
of slower trains by firsts lass lines. I
An engineer's ideal roadbed would be
absolutely lev 1 and straight -the line
of the Luke Shore and New York Con- |
tral is tho nearest real; at on of these
conditions to be f und in th s country,
as is evidenced by the recent bicycle \
relay races from New York and I o- ]
ton to Chicago, they having followed
the line of these roads the entire dis- j
tunce. This rouse was, therefore, the 1
natural selection as the one over wlii h
the Exposition flyers should run. The |
schedule of these trains has been ar- |
ranged particularly to accommodate
the large number of business me !
who have interests both in New Yorlc i
and Chicago, and by taking advantage
of this train can leave New York af.er !
the close of business ami be in Chiea o
the next morning in lime for a full ]
day's business there. Leave Chicago, j
eastbounJ, L‘:vO p.m.; reach New York j
next day st 11:00 a. in. Leave New
Y ork at 3:0 >p. m.; arrive in Chicago, ;
10:00 a. m. next day.
