orchards more secure from thieves and
midnight providers, both two and four.

days work on the clothes line during
the dews of night-does not feel that
her clothes are more safe if Bose is in
the yard? When the little ones are OFT

woods, what parent does not feel less
anxious if Bose is with them? When
you are absent from them over night do
you not feel that home is more secure,
it Bose guards the premises-and who

faithful companion of man, and is the
only species of the brute creation that

Stories Of Peter Cartwright.

DISPUTE WITH DOCTOR.
Many other anecdotes could be told

there is one too good to let pass. He
once had dispute with doctor rela.

wanted honest and unequivocal answers
to few questions
Did you ever hear relgion?r
"No."
" Did you ever smell religion ?'
"No."
Did you ever taste religion ?"
odd you ever feel religion ?"
Yes
"Now, them" said the doctor, with
apparent triumph, " / have proved be-

BLAZING HIS WAY.
Cartwright having been brought up
in o log cabin, did not like climbing
stairs, and when he took up his quarters
in hotel he preferred rooms on a lower
floor. He once went to Chicago. and
booked himself at the fremont House.
The preacher was assigned to o room in
the eighth or ninth story.
Soon after being shown to his room
Cartwright rang the bell. A waiter was
promptly in attendance. q want an
AK" said Cartwright. The astonished
servant said he would procure one.
Having obtained an ak, Cartwright
asked the waiter TO guide him down
stairs. At the first turn in the stairs
Cartwright blazed his mark in the wal.
nut baluster. The dumbfoundered
waiter asked him what he meant. q
want to know my way back to my room
again" said Cartwright. The preacher
was assigned to room at more reason
able distance from mother earth.
Mr.. Cartwright was first assigned to
Pleasant Plains, Sangamon county. Ill.,.
in 1858. In his old age he retained his
faculties to an extraordinary degree,
and his example has had no small effect
in keeping up his old.time spirit of
Methodism.

When things don't go TO suit you.
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away the frown:
Since life is Oft perplexing.
It's much the wisest plan
To bear all trails bravely,
And smile lwhene'er you can.
Why should you dread o-morrow.
And thus despoil to-day
And when you borrow trouble.
You always have 10 pay;
Ii is a good old maxim,
Which should be often preached.
Don't cross the bridge before you.
Until the bridge be reached.
You might be spared much signing
II you would bear in mind.
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined;
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from yOur casket
That precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy.
You may have an empty purse;
(and earth has many trials
Which | consider wOrseD
But whether JOY or sorrow
Fill up your mighty span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene'er you can.

We know from the great majority of

FIFTH PARALLEL RAILROAD.

More than two years ago a company
was organized at Humboldt for the
purpose of building Railroad from
TT. Scott to Humboldt, and on west
through WOodsOn, Greenwood, Butler
and Sedgwick counties, to the Arkan-
sas river. The company was duly or
ganized and chartered and a prelimi-
nary survey of the route made.
BY an examination of the map it will
be seen that these counties are OH the
direct line of the St. Louis, Fl. Scott
and Santa Fe Railroad. During the
last year that portion of the road be-
tween Fort Scott and Humboldt has
been graded and is now ready for the
iron. Last fall the three chartered
roads along the line of the Fifth Par
rallcl, were consolidated, and we now
have strong company Of solid men
who are determined to push this road
through to the Arkansas river as soon
as possible.
Allen county has already voted her
quota of county bonds. A few weeks
ago Greenwood county voted to take
100000 i'm stock in this road. Wood
son county is alive to this great work
and has ere this submitted a PROPOSE
ton to the people to take stock in this
Road. Last week the citizens of But
Ter county met at the court house In
Eldorado and passed series of resolu-
tions plcdging Sl5O,OOO to the enter
prise. We learn that a petition will
he presented to the county cOmmiss-
toner's of Butler county asking them to
submit proposition to take stock in
this road to the amount Of $l50,O00.
and to issue the bonds of the county
therefor; the Road to be constructed
through the towns of Rosalia, Eldora-
do, Towonda and on Southwest in the
direction of Wichita. The people Of
EldOrado are alive to this work and
will without doubt carry bond pro-
position.
We have always looked upon this as
one of the most important Railroad
projects in the state. Tapping the Ar
kansas Valley at this point. it would
give us Railroad facilities that no other
town in this section could have. AS
arrangements have already been made
for the construction of another line of
road from st. Louis to Fort Scott, we
deem it of the highest Importance that
our people should lend their energies
to secure this road at an early day.
q We shall from time to time In. before
~ readcrs all the interesting facts in
5connection with the Fort Scott, Hum
boldt and Western Railroad, and hope
at no distant day TO elicit such atten-
ton to il as will secure its construc-
ton to this city.
