MIR. George Francis Train, having long
ago "evoluted" beyond the love of meat,

pers, feeds birds with bread crumbs, and
wins the affections of small children. Be-
ing constantly ascending and developing, he
shakes hands with no one, and permits no

wires" with humanity in general, and per-
NIT only few chosen ones, the salt of the
earth, to remain on speaking terms with
him.-M I. Graphic.

They were standing at the gate. The
Young man spoke sadly and solerly of
hard times, high taxes, and of getting work

tears that glistened like pearls in oceans
depths, As she softly answered: q, let US
