In writing from Wichita, Kansas, re-
Rarding railway points In that locality, a
correspondent says: Wichita needs a
direct western outlet, and since Gould has
purchased the st. Louis and San Francis
CO, We believe that our days as way sta
ton on bobtail road are at an end. The
nearest way to Dodge City and the cattle
trade of that region is by straight cut
westward across the prairies, striking the
hourishing towns of Marshall, Klneman
and luka. The best paying line, howev-
er, would be through Anthony and Msdi-
cine Lodge. tits said that the Santa Fe
and Jay Gouldean only control the new
line known as the st. Louis, Fort Scott &
Wichita by actually buying it. The Chi
cago and Allan would be pleased with a
line southwesterly tapping the Texas cattle
trails at Medicine Lodge, In Barbour Oo..
Kansas. The road master of the Frisco
was here last week, was pleased with the
grounds at the junction of the Frisco and
the Santa Fe. but found more available
ground for the railway shops near the Ar
kansas river, where the new shops of the
Frisco viii no doubt be buik next sum.

There was young girl from Bordeaux,
With corns on her little pink teaux,
They gave her such pain
The tears ran like rain
Down the bridge of her beautiful neaux.
Her lover-a youth from Cologne.
Fled, wildly, and left her alOgne,
When he found that her feet
With cOrns were replete.
With never a word he had flOgne.
They sent for doctor from Lynn.
AS shyning and neat as pynn.
He looked at her teaux
The source of her weaux,
And indulged in a gratified grynn.
he prescribed for the maid from Bordeau,
And cured all her little pink teauE
And now, it is said,
They, too, will be waid,
And from sorrow and grief find repaux.
The sweet scented youth from Cologne,
Who left her severely alogne,
When he first heard the news,
His mind he did lews,
And fitted from life with grogne.

a Self Made.Man.

Charley Crocker, as he was famil-
iarly known in the early DAYS of San
Francisco, was one of the projectors
of the Central Pacific railroad, and is
today hale and hearty, and worth
perhaps one hundred million dollars.
After his wealth had accumulated to
more than, in his boyhood's widest
dreams he ever imagined he would
possess, he determined to take a trip
around the world. He took particular
pains, however, to impress upon every
one he met that he was "self-made
man, Probably to-day he would
forego the luxury. While passing
through the Red Sea on an English
steamer, nearly all the cabin passen-
gers being English, he again and
again impressed his travelling COM
panious that he was a selfmade man.
He ca, ried his theory so far one day as
10 come ,o the table with his coat of,
sayingthat self-msde man did not need
coat with The thermometer atllO to
l30. Our English cousins were so
much disgusted that the captain was
requested to see that Mr.. CrOcker re-
sumed his coat again. Charley took
in the situation and complied with the
request, but as he was returning to
his place at the table he did not re-
frain from iosisting that he was a self
made man. A quiet old Englishman,
who with lis wife and daughter occu-
pied seat next to him gazed at him
critically for a moment and then re-
marked: "What q responsibility the
Almighty was relieved of when you
made yourself"
