Because railroad company has spite
against town, il Is no reason why II
should be allowed to crash il out by
charging exorbitant rates on all freight
shipped to It; nor is il right to charge
one place less and another more because
one has the advantage OF competition
and the other has not. A reasonable
tariff should be fixed by law, and all
the roads in tho State should be forced
to comply with it. This will give us a
uniform tariff, and prevent unjust dis

Last fall and this winter Comanche

in starving condition, and, nightly
their mingled bark and howl is heard
through the town.. At first they. were
shy, keeping q respectable distance
from the town, but in the past few
weeks they have become more bold, en-
tering the corporate limits, and unearth-

The myriads Of bats that tenet the
caves in some of the western counties OF
Texas are natures most effective insect
scavengers. The moth that produces
the cotton and tobacco worms, and 9th.
er insects that are destructive to vegeta-
ton, that venture abroad after sunset,
are the prey of these midnight prowl-
ers. During the summer season these
repulsive little denizens of the dark,
dismal dungeons swarm over the face Of
the country for many miles around, and
the wonder is that they find insect life
enough to sustain such vast swarms as
inhabit these caves.

the same engine and train men. This
gives us the following figures: Train
men, twenty dollars and twepty-four
cents; mileage, coal, oil and repairs,
seven dollars and twenty-three cents ;
total cost, twenty-seven dollars and
forty.seyen cents. The total tonnage
passing over the road in each case
would be as follows. Marrow gauge
cars, nine hundred and. sixty tons;
broad gauge cars, one Thousand six
hundred and thirty tons. Taking the
above figures We have, as aresult, these
figures: Cost of transportation OF
four hundred and eighty tons coal
narrow gauge, twenty-eight dollars and
twenty-nine cents; broad gauge, forty
nine dollars and fifty cents; saving to
the narrow gauge over the broad gauge,
twenty-one dollars and twenty fivecents
per day, equivalent to six thousand and
five hundred dollars per year, over Six
per. cent. interest ON one hundred and
two thousand dollars, the cost of con-
struction of the Bells Gap road. ~ ~
This, says Mr.. Ramsey, shows that
even if it had been possible to build a
broad gauge road for the same sum, the
saving in the operation Of the narrow
gauge is equal to six per cent. interest
on the amount invested; or, while the
broad road would be barely making ex-
penses, the narrow one would be earn
ing six per cent, profit. Mr.. Byrne
takes the same view, and is satisfied
chat the narrow gauge is the coming
road; it solves the great problem of
cheap transportation" 5'.4.a, l.aI

The Small Boy "Has Some Fu,,.'

He was naturally cruel, and he told
IN acquaintance one day that he had a
new trick to play on the public-some-
thing cntirelynew. He had long string
and brass key tied to the end of it,
which he said was the instrument of
torture. Over the front sidewalk ma
pie tree sent some pretty strong branch
IS, making seat hidden by leaves. Into
this, after dark, the boys climed. "Now
wall" says the principal, till the first
victim comes, and don't make noise.
Pretty soon an ordinarily dressed wo-
man came along, and just as she had
passed he let drop the key on the hard
sidewalk, Immediately ullingitupagain.
Both now watched developments. The
woman came to sudden stop, began
fumbling in her pocket and wondered
what it was she could have dropped.
She started on, but had not gone far
before she came back impelled by Gu
riosity, and began a careful search of
the walk. Meanwhile the boys in the
tree had stuffed their fists in their
mouths to keep from soaring the game,
and dared hardly look below for fear
of laughing out. A sympathetic sister
came along, and together they picked
up stones and turned over all chips on
the walk. No money, no key, nothing
did they find; and so went on to their
homes, perhaps to worry all night; or
perhaps giggle in the tree turned their
look Of disappointment to very cheap
smile and laugh from the same place
made them have awful wicked thoughts
about boys. H. 9 la..-
One victim found piece of tin, and
laying the cause of tho noise to that, was
saved from great deal of worry. But
when she picked it up and threw it
down several times to test the sound,
the boys nearly fell out of the tree. A
man, when caught, would slap all of his
pockets, glance around little, but it
was seldom that he was brought 40 a
hard pan search. When any one saw
the trick after searching half an hour
and saying all kinds of little things for
the amusement of the boys, he simply
went away hurriedly. There was no re-
mark to make, no name to call. To
get out of sight as soon as possible SEEM
ed to be most desirable. The trick is
harmless; no one breaks leg or loses
an eye in its process. 1t might be re-
commended to constitutionally tired
boys as good way to sweep the walk.
The victims will throw all the chips
and stones into the streets by curiosity
power, as it were.-Rochester, Netc
