Kennedy and Waco tap and waste be
pushed forward with all possible vigor.
1t was expected that Seely would be
reached in eight months. The north
western road would be commenced next
week and put forward as rapidly as pos
ible, and they are expected to reach
Boerne by Christmas, II not before. On
the Arkansas Pass road work was pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Chilpipin, 10
miles from PapalOte, was reached to-
day, and the road was now only only Is
miles from the reef, the balance would
be completed this month. Delay in the
delivery of ties being the only evil that
they had to contend with. Trains would
run into Corpus Christi in September,
thus completing ITO miles Of railroad IN
one year. The difficulty In getting suit
able piles for the terminal OF the road,
delayed the work In that direction, but

as possible.

The PnrteTS Dream
(Su5sori6srs please aots)

lNu|eoffVtfa ftcnse NStcsl
A printer sat in his office chair,
His boots were patched and his coat threadbaro
And his face looked weary and worn with care
While sadly thinking of business debt,
Old Morpheus slowly round him crept,
And before he knew it he soundly slept;
And sleeping he dreamed that he was dead
From trouble and toll his spirit had fed,
And that not even a cow-bell toll
Rang out for the peace OF his c0w-hlde sole.
As he wandered among the shades,
Rhat smoke and soorch In the lower Hades,
He slowly observed an iron door
That ereaking swung on hinges aIar.
But the entrance was closed with rcdhot har
And Satan himself stood pceping out,
And thus to the passing printer spoke:
"Comc in. my DEAR
IL shall cost you nothing. and never fear;
This is the place where | cook the ones
Who never pay their subscription sums;
For though in life they may escape,
They will find when they're dead it is too late;
viii show you the place where | melt them
thin
With red-hot chains ard scraps of tin,
And also where | comb their heads
With broken glass and melted lead,
And If Of refreshments they only think.
There's boiling water FOR them to drink
There's the red-hot grndstone TO grind down
his nose,
And red-hot rings 20 " car on his toes.
And If they mention they don't like fire,
I'll sew up their mouths with red-hot wire;
And then, dearsir, you should see them squirm.
While roll them over and cook to turn"
With theso last words the printer awoke,
And thought it all practical joke,
But still at times so real did it seem
That he cannot believe it was all dream;
And oft he thinks with a chuoklc and grin,
OF the fate of those who save their tin,
And never pay the printer
Fiper and Printing T,u9es Jourual.

ton, is accompanied by her little
daughter who has been sick. DR..
Lewis was summoned on Saturday
to prescribe for the child and left
medicine to be taken at regular in
tervals, also a mixture containing
poison, properly labeled, to be used
as external application. BY mis-
take the little one was given a suf-
ficient quantity from the bottle last
mentioned to poison half a dozen
children. Luckily the error was
noticed at once and a messenger
dispatched post haste for the doctor,
who was untying his team for a trip
into the country when the news
reached him. No time was lost by
him in getting to Mr.. Gillis' house,
and in just seven minutes after the
child had taken the mixture her
stomach was entirely relieved of it.
No bad results followed owing to
the brief time that elapsed between
taking poison and being relieved Of
it.-Grant County Democrat.
