THE ST. CLOUD, MANKATO AND
AUSTIN IL. Il.
The Journal Press is mistaken in the
idea that any portion of thu land grant
to the st. Cloud, Mankxto & Austin rail-
road can be used to build the line from
St. Cloud to Willmar. The act passed
last winter simply extends the time to
build two years. If they should build via
Cold Springs, Litchf1eld and Hutchinson,
in the name Of the Austin, Mankato &
St. Cloud railroad company, they would
he entitled to3 four sections of swamp
land to the mile, when ten consecutive
miles lwcre built. Jim Hill may build
this way when he believes seine other
company will build if he does not. 1t is
quite certain that railroad dirt will fly
next season both in Mcleod and Meeker
counties. but on just what route is uncer-
tain.-Glencoe Enterprise,
The Enterprise does not seem to grasp
the situation" The road now being
built, from St. Cloud to Cold Springs, Is
the first twenty miles Of the St. c.. NJ. &
A. road, and is being constructed under
the company's franchises. When COM
pleted. this road will run. via Litchfeld
and Hutchinson, to Mankato and Austin.
In the meanwhile branch of the st, c.,
M. s. A. will be built next year from
Cold Springs to WilImar.-6t. Cloud

November 9th.
Such horrible thing has happened-all
on account Of my tongue. Icried SO much
last night that this morning my eyes are
red and swollen and my head feels like it
would break. When I ran down stairs to
supper last night, DR.. Mel. had just come
and brought mothers beautiful bouquet of
roses, but when we reached the table, in
front of my plate | saw lovely silver
stand filled with pansies and white violets.
Instead of girlishly going into ecstacies
over them, / sedately took my place.
"Why, Donald" said mama, "a kind
fairy must have told you of Esther's fond
ness for violets."
" | used to care for them, but / don't
now," | said, and went on pouring out tea.
"Esther!" said mother, in a tone she
seldom uses to me, her only child.
| could have cut my tongue out if it
would have done any good, but it was too
late as | saw from his flashing eyes. |
hurridly drank my tea and went immedi-
ately to the library, hoping that music
would bring me to better frame of mind.
While | was playing mother came in III
her large wheeled chair, bringing my
flowers to me. " Esther, DEAR" She said,
and ! twirled round on the stool, ."you
left your flowers, | brought them to you"
(" Put them on the mantel, | don't care for
the old things" Then impelled by some
blind impulse threw myself at her feet
