tended for the use of wholesale houses in
their transactions with railroads and other
mediums of transportation. The design is
one of simplicity and value, and the GLOBE
tenders its congratulations to Mr.. Briggs
upon his discovery OF a road by which
merchants and others can effectually avoid

tons with common carriers, as has often
been the case heretofore.
AT recent meeting of managers inter
ested, held in Milwaukee, it will be remem-
oered that freight rates to the Black Hills
points were reduced to quite an extent.
However, it is now quite likely that these
rates will be still further reduced, from 25
cents to so cents per 100 pounds. The
| principal occasion for this reduction is an
accession on the part of teamsters, carry
ing freight from the Missouri River to
points IL the Hills, An announcement of
the reduction can now be expected at any

THE SCHOOL ARMY.s

There's an army that musters Its legiSns.
And marches to roll-call each day; z&A3l
And happy and b1eSt are the regions
Which lie in that army's bright Way
They troop over hil1ock and hollow,
They spring across brook ct and pooL sg
And gayiy and cheerily follow
The summons which bids them TO senooe.
By thousands the army is numbered,
Its soldiers are fresh as the morn; J
Not one is by sorrow encountered, stlE
Not one is by care overbornc.
At decimals sometimes they stnmpieE
And sometimes by verbs are perpieseu.
And the proudest grows saddened ana pumpAe"
When q question is passed to the next
But forgot at the briefest vacation
Are problems and puzzles ana pros'i
The grief Of the stern conjuSa ION,
That late was a fountain of woes; I .#9 -
And the army goes back to its duty
The hour that play-tma is done,
sResp!endent in love and in beauty,
Unmatched meath the light of the Alu.
They gather, this wonderful army,
In field and in grove and in street;
Their voices are music to charm me,
So ringing and eager and sweet. ". s5A
Their cheeks are as red as q cherry,
Their eyes are as pure as the day,
And the sound of their marching Is naefry,
Wherever they pass on their way.
There are people forever assigning
And saying the world is all wrong;a
If1t somehow their doubts take to lying
AT sight of this wonderful throng. ;sat.E.q5.5

But at least there is hope where the cneery

Pat Hollands Shooting Trick.
i Nevada exchange saws:

A Nevada e3cnanSe says:
Years ago, in the early days of the
f;omstock excitement, Pat Holland, now
..nstmaster and coroner in a little town
en- Cochise County. Arizona. was the
most respected man in the State. He
Fad the reputation of being dead-shot
with pistol. OF course this accom-
n,ishment made him feared by every
body, and there was no man in Virginia
so bold as to cross him in public. Pat
ACQUIRED his reputation by shooting on
. the stage, and could kno X an apple OF
his sons head with an accuracy and
!. careIessness which combined to impress
Che public far more thanSthe manner in
which the painstaking William lell
performed the feat with an arrow. FL
nally, Pat secured a young lady who
would allow an apple to be shot Off her
fIaxen roll, and when Pat executed the
feat he would throw his keen eye at the

and bowed amid tremendons applause.
He had a six-shooter in each hand.
and the stage manager announced
that he would shoot the last six apples

faced the audience. Lifting his revoi-

sion, and the apples began to lily out OF
sight amid the breathless silence OF the
audience. The curious part of the per-
formance, however, lay in the fact that
by the time Pat had fired the six shot:
all the apples had disappeared. yet he
kept on Langing away with ms le!1
