eye. He can read the meter as easily as he
can THE GLOBE, and every week or so he
goes down into the cellar and makes an
estimate of his prospective gas bill. Bliff-
kinS has three pretty daughters, all Of
whom have admiring callers, and this is the
way he keeps tab on the sitting up of
nights. From long experience Blitfkins has
learned just how much his meter should in
dictate at any day of the month in order to
be normal, and so he was greatly surprised
when he discovered a few days ago, that
the meter did not seem to be working just
right.
why, at this rate" says he to himself,
my bill will be only about $1.75, when it
is usually SO. That will never do, because
the inspector will get onto it right away.
We must use enough gas to avoid suspicion,
and We'll bring the bills down by degrees.
Well taper 'em off,"
And Bliffkins chuckled at his own smart
ness as he thought of the diminishing gas
bills he was going to have in future. He
went up stairs and told the folks that
he had got a frank from the
gas company and didn't have to pay
any more bills. and that they could use all
the gas they wanted to. AS evening came
on he set the example himself and turned
on every burner in the house full tilt, so
that the neighbors thought the Bliffkins
must be expecting company.
In this way things went on for week.
The house was as light as day every night,
and the neighbors were envious. Finally
Blikkins thought he would go down to see
how the meter was getting along. He had it all
planned out that if the thing wasn't work
ing properly yet he'd burn gas upstairs all
day in order to make sure that the compa-
ny's inspector wouldn't suspect that any
thing was wrong.
What Bliffkins said when he glanced at
the meter on this occasion must forever re-
main secret. But he nearly dropped the
candle, and ended by kicking the dog and
hurting his toe against the cellar wall as it
dawned upon his mathematical mind thai
mis- gas bill had already run up to $13 and
was still climbing. The meter was al
work again, and was making up for lost
time.

Rail Notes.

Taking effect July 20, the Chicago, Milwau-
kee g. st. Paul road will advance rates on
lumber from st. Paul, Minneapolis and Min
nesota Transfer to Council Bluffs and Omaha
on the basis of 16 cents per cwt. The usual
diferentials will apply from all manufacture
ing points. The advance on this rate is the
result of the recent meeting in Chicago.
A meeting of he heads of the freight de-
partments held meeting yesterday in the
Omaha headquarters building to consider the
matter of rates to be made on flour to Chi
cago and Duluth. No agreement was reached
as the st. Paul s. Duluth road was not repre-
scented.
The Transcontinental lines have made a
f1fty-dollar Grand Army rate from the Mis-
souri, river and return, and the $G2.50 rate
from the Missouri river to San Francisco and
return by way of Portland, and the Northern
Pacific is one open rate.
The Omaha has issued circular stating
that exhibits for the Minneapolis Exposition
will be carried for full rates one way and free
the other, with the usual certificate.
Mr.. Cakes, vice preaident and general
manager of the Northern Pacific, will leave
tonight for New York, to attend the meet
ing Of the board OF directors.
F. B. Clarke and Mr.. Teasdale of the
Omaha road will leave tonight for Chicago.
One week from to-day the st. Paul g. Du-
luth will run an excursion train to Duluth

sight to look at. this young man was, but he
was talkative, and this is what the
GLOBE accidentally overheard: mo, I'll
never go out fishing again, at least not in
cheap suit. Yesterday thought I'd take
day or two off and run up to my aunt's in
Wisconsin and have bit of fishing. Didn't
want to wear my good clothes, so 1 went
over On Seventh street and purchased a
cheap suit, cheap grip, and new fish
pole. The whole outfit cost less than 81,
and it looked nobby, too. But this morn
ing got caught in a rainstorm. MY polka
dot coat wouldn't wash and the polka
dots swelled up as big as silver
dollars. My pantaloons were soaked
through, and now they are shrinking in the
hot sun at the rate of four inches an hour.
If don't get home in hurry I'll find my
self in a pretty fix out here on the street.
My cheap fishing rod is so warped that it
cannot be put together, and this yalise looks
as if a cow had slept on it. Say, lend Inc
a dollar to take hanson with, will you,
and be sure and never go out fishing in a
cheap suit from Seventh street.

The Newayso Railroad War.

GRAND RAPIDS, July 17.-In the Ne
waygo County circuit court to-day, per-
manent injunction was issued restraining
Manager j. A. Mullinten and the Chicago
& West Michigan Railroad company from
obstructing the water course as petitioned
for by P. d. Clay. This is the final act Of
the affair known as the Newaygo railroad
war, which created good deal of sensa-
ton several months ago. The railroad
company tried to build piers obstructing the
canal, and force of men were put to work
one Sunday in the winter, but D. P. Clay
drove them away and secured temporary
injunction, which has now been made per-
lnanent.

sweet remembranceS of stolen kisses under
those damp walls and amid the shades of

to turn into it the traffic of tram cars and
the flood of light from hundred arc lights

romances which have had their first climaxes
here-their first act, ante climaXes, as it were
of the hearts that have here beat up against
Sc vests and other articles of wearing ap-
parel as streams OF magnetism flowed from

not initiated lips-if they knew all this
they would surely reconsider their determ-

electric lights and other agencies of pub

that an average of 700 weddings year may
be directly traced to the impulse born of

hearts to do so.
''You see how it u.s." said the argus-eyed
policeman, putting a lighted cigar in his
pocket as he saw the sergeant approaching,
tits rather gloomy down in there an you
can't see plainly more'n twenty feet ahead.
Anyhow, the curve of the passage-way pre-
vents anybody from seeing very far. Not
many pedestrians go through the tunnel,
neither, an a good many of 'em is young
fellows and girls. When girls come from the
country their city cousins have to show 'em
the tunnel, an when they get down in
there they suddenly find themselves alone,
an she is a little timid, like as not, an
.clings close to him. an'-gosh it makes me
feel young again to think about it. I kin
tell the kiSSers when they come out into the
light at the end here-I kin tell 'em nine
times out of them. BY watching the
girls to see how they blush!

When I was sure she was sleeping, went
up to her, caught her by the chin, lifted up
her head quickly so I could get a good
whack at her, and. drawing my razor, cut
her throat. cutting very deep so as to make
sure of death. She opened her eyes as
did so, but could not speak. made sure
of her death, ate a lunch. dressed myself
up in clean clothes, and then set out to

Fight Between a Hawk and Parrot

Fight Between a Hawk and Parrot.
Kankakee Times.
One day last week hawk swooped down
upon parrot belonging to Mrs. Burchard
of Grant Park, making dive at its head.
Polly ayerted the blow and the birds inter-
twined their claws and fell from the p orch
to the earth and spry fight began. The
birds were evenly weighted. To the hawk
quicker motions the parrot brought a
stronger jaw grip, and they settled down
to hard work. pecking for each others eyes
and head, until Mrs. Burchard, hearing the
discordant squawks and flutters from the
CORY field, hurried to the scene with a DO
tato-masher, with which she beat the
hawk until death compelled him to loosen
his grip. Polly was still in fighting trim
and exhibited no signs of injury or exhaus-
ton from the combat except to get off it's
harsh call: Polly wants cracker"
