CuShing'S Railroad.

"Joe Cushing" said railroad man
to Globe Democrat reporter Yesterday,
FUSED to own mill on a certain rail
way up in New Hampshire. and i: was
an almighty big mill, too. Well. the
railroad got to squeezing Joe pretty
hard. They told him he'd got to ship
over their line or shut up his mill, and
they proposed to charge him any rate
they wanted to. At last Joe couldn t
stand it any longer. There was another
railroad six miles away, and one day
he went to see the general manager of
the other line, and offered to build a
road cross lots from his mill if he was
guaranteed certain reasonable charges
for all time to come. His offer was ac-
cepted, and inside of twenty-four hours
Joe had five hundred men at work shov-
cling down hills, filling up valleys,
bridging streams and laying rails and
ties. The officials of the road that had
been putting tie blocks to him went to
see him, and offered to carry his stuff
for the cost of transportation if he would
abandon his project, but Joe promptly
refused them. In a few months he had
his road completed, and he has been
using it ever since.
'.Now, the fun of the thing is that as
soon as everything was in working or
der Joe went to Boston and had lot OF
printing done, and before many DAYS
every railroad official in America re-
ceived an elegantly engraved annual
pass, inclosed in a neatly printed circu-
lar. The front of The pass read as fol
lows:
"Iss1. JOE CusHISG's ROAD. 1881. Pass
wise s:S ordered. JOE CUSHING. president.
ION the back was printed this unique
sentence: This pass is not transferable.
The person accepting and using it
thereby assumes the right to travel and
transport baggage over this road when.
ever he pleases, and at the risk of Joe
Gushing, who will be financially re.
sponsible for all damage to person or
property incurred while so travelling
1.-The circular was headed by a map
of the road showing the location of the
mill and the length of the line. 1t said
in substance: My road is only six
miles long, but it is perfectly solvent,
pays all its interest charges and taxes,
and is tirst-class property in every re-
spect l herewith send you an annual
pass, and invite you to use my line at
any and all times at my own risk. II
YOU should see tit to extend to me in
return the courtesy of an annual pass
over your road shall greatly appreci-
ate it, '....
"Well, sir, the mans cheek was SC
enormous that the officials of nearly
every road in America laugh over the
thing and send him pass, and l hea,
of him every now and then in different
places all over the country using his
ANIMALS. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

MATES.

A dainty little shepherdess,
With such a cunning air:
With such most bewitchinR SMILE
And features wondrous fair;
Who poses gracefully upon
A rose-engarianded crook
While eyes as blue as violets
Loves expectation look.
A jaunty little fisher-lad,
With sunny. eager face;
With form of sturdy symmetry,
In attitude of grace;
Whose net is thrown across his arm,
While laughter in his eye
Declares ne knows the shepherdess
Is lurking somewhere nigh.
Alasl alackl and wella-day!
The course of love, we're told,
Finds multiplied impedhments-
Obstacles manifold.
The hearts which nAtA-e uesignates
Apparently for twins
Are sundered most relentlessly,
Just as their bliss begins.
And so my little shepherdess,
And SO my little fisher-lad,
No tale of love may hear or tell:
Yet they are far from sad.
Their hearts are sll unbroken,
Are even free from care;
For they're only Dresden china,
This Interesting pair,
Who stand on either side the clock
Upon my mantel there;
And are luckier than most lovers
IL they knew il, [ will swear.

If ever there was a case illustrating
the wicked folly of practical joking the
following fills the bill. In December,
1879, John NJ. Waite and M. b, Gould,
both prominent and respected business
men of Chicago, thought they would
have a little fun with the colored
janitor who took care of the
building in which they had rooms.
Accordingly they. disarrauged the
contents of Waite's room and
concealed themselves until the jsnitor
put in an appearance. The latter. upon
his arrival, alarmed al the condition of
things, thought burglars had been there
sure; so he procured revolver, and

THE IMPORTANCE OF PALATKA AS A
trade distributing point and railway center,
and its magnificent location at the head of
ocean navigation on the ST. Johns, and in the
midst of a charming farming and fruit produ-
cling section, renders it a natural focal point
for the news of the Peninsular, and affords
the opportunity to make it what it is pro-
nounced by the press to be, a frst-class news
paper, both in its makeup and in the charac-
ter of its collated news.
POLITICALLY
THE NEWS is Democratic, and while it will be
courteous to all, it will stand steadfast in its
adherence to those principles of that party,
the success of which.alone insures liberty and
good government.
