THE TEXAS PACIFIC


=
kailrOad.
The Jonesboro Gazette of yesterday
publishes the resolutions adopted by the
city council of Cairo favoTins the con-
structiOn OF the Texas Pacific railroad.
and comments upon them as follows:
"Eyery citizen of this state should en-
dorse these sentiments. ] he outrageous
monopoly of the Central Union Pacific
railroad imperatiyely demands the con>
struction Of this road. Those Western
congressman who opposed these
measures are bought up by
huntington, the shrewd man-
aver oi the C.hiIai l nlvn Pacific mos
nOpoly. There are many arguments in
favor OF this project, and the following.
in note from citizen Of Cairo, can be
fully appreciated by every citizen of
Southern illinois:
By the Iron Mountain road we are
now In direct and continuous railroad
communication with Fort Worth, from
which point to San Diego, on the Pacific.
the effort is now being made to build a
Southern Pacific road (liuntington's
rOad) IRON San Francisco east, but this
is in the interest Of the Central and
Union Pacific, and if that is successful
and the Texas Pacific ia not built the
present odious monopoly, which
from their eXhorbitant charges
now seriously lntcrtercs with
the tarffic between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, will be continued TO the
great detriMent Of the country. The
true interests of the country require q
competing line, and the only way that
can be got, Is BY completing the Texas
Pacific road. That Is the shortest line,
can be built cheaper than the Others and
Ia directly on the route Of this competing
line. Memphis and other places south
are squabbling over the terminus OF the
Texas Pacific on the Mississippi, but
that does not interest US. because we have
already got a line to Fort Worth, the
eastern terminus OF the main line. If we
can get that through, and 70 feet water
from here to New Orleans, by the aid OF
Cockrell's bill, which Is Ead's bill, our
section of the country need ask favors Of
no one.
|! st. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati can
also approve OF this route, as they will
then have direct railroad connection viz
the Iron Mountain, Cairo and st. Louis
Illinois Central, and Cairo and Vim
| cennes, with Fort Worth. We hope the
Huntington project will be kicked out o.
congress, and tho Texas Pacific bill i'm
medlately passed. II this congress In
tends to do anything for the south west
now Is their opportunity"

kissed them all good-by and looked at
the camel.
81 know ~ said Ma Miffet. ''You
must have the step ladder, to be sure.p
So Pa Miffet brought out the step
ladder and rested it against the camel.
"Stop one moment p said Ma Miffet.
''Let me get rope and tie it to the
camel's tail so as to keep him still while
you get on"
So Ma Miffet brought the rope, and
Pa Miffet tied it fast to the camePs tail.
Then Jeremiah Julius mounted the
step-ladder and threw blanket over
the camel's back, while Matilda Mary
stood on the lower step with his satchel
and lunch basket, ready to hand it up
to him.
But Just at this moment the camel,
who was little frightened, and was
getting impatient besides, started vio-
lently and upset the ladder. Jeremiah
Julius fell off headforemOst,-sO did
Matilda Mary but Pa Miffet, who was
holding the rope, began to pull it with
all his might. Away went the poor
camel, galloping out of the gate and
down the street alta furious pace, with
Pa Miffet hanging on behind. He
knocked down several children and one
old woman, frightened two horses, and
at last ran into butchers stall where
he was stopped.
The butchers boy brushed off Pa
Miffet's clothes which were quite muddy
and then went with him to lead the
camel home. But Jeremiah Julius had
bump on his forehead where he struck
the ground when he fell, and Matilda
Mary had set her nose bleeding at the
same time. So they concluded not to
travel on the camels back after all.
"You see, Ma and Pa" said Lydia
Lucy who had studied Natural History,
''the camel lives in the desert and of
course he won't go well here. You
must take him where there is plenty of
sand and no houses if you want to use
him.
"But we don't know of any such place
near here" said Pa Miffet.
ave might take him to the seashOre.
there is plenty of sand there" said Ma
Miffet.
''But it would cost so much" object
ed Pa Miffet after he had considered a
while.
"T'm sure | shall never dare to ride
on him." said Matilda Mary sorrow
fully.
Just then, jeremiah Julius came in.
'Here is letter from the man whose
horse we frightened yesterday he said.
''He wants you to pay him fifty dollars
damages"
"And the old woman who was knock
ed down says You must settle her doc
tors bill, Pa" added Ma Miffet.
"And the butcher came here this
morning to say that you had hurt his
little girl and would have to pay him a
round sum for that" said Lydia Lucy.
''And the mud stains are not out of
my clothes YETI said Pa Miffet discOn-
sOlately.
"And your coat is all torn, Pa" said
Ma Miffet.
Well, the Miffets sold the camel the
next day and paid all the bills for dam
ages.
But poor Ma Miffet didn't get. her
camels hair shawl, which grieved her
very much.
However, one day, Lydia Lucy came
home from school, where she was still
studying Natural History, and ex-
claimed:
Why, Ma, camel's hair shawls are
not made of camel's hair at all They
are made from the wool of the Cash
mere goat, so our camel would never
have been of any use ~
"Dear mel" said Ma Mffet and Pa
Miffet both ut once. "Dear me !" what
a good thing knowledge is !n-Mrs. E.
