30 MILES DISAPPEAR.

Thirty miles of country is big thing
to disappear, but this distance has been
dropped out between Kansas City and
Chicago, How it happened is thus figur-
ed out: The Chicago, Santa Fe & Cali
fornia Railway is completed between
Kansas City and Chicago, and the dis
lance between, the two cities is only 45S
miles measuring from Union Depot, Kan
sas City, to Dearborn Station, Chicago.
This is exactly thirty miles less than by
any Of the old lines, so you have to
travel thirty miles less, your freight has
to be hauled thirty miles less, and prac-
tically the Santa Fe has made thirty
miles disappear. A few years at thi
rate and Kansas will be in New England

fA hunter once met a wild bear, .r And to catch him alive took the whims But when they'd got through the amir, He found that the bear had caaght him. Then the hunter begged hard for his life, And the good -natured bear let htm 90; When the hunter whipped out big knife, And laid the bear dead on the snow. IThis tale has . moral, 'tis plain, Like the tale of the Ghlbs and the Guelph Buf the poet must run fer his tram You can fix up the moral yourself. --SbRleTeitIs Journal My sorrow is truly heart -rending,
 When think of the shocking great pity That you hadn't the time when a-rhyming The moral to put in your ditty. But then can easily write it

 That you never need run for your train. Just grab Daddy Time by the forelock.

Old Acquaintance.


 Most animals, intelligent enough for satisfactory pets, are sufficiently constant in their attachments to TO. member old friends, even after long
 lapse of time. The sultan of Morocc6 presented to an English resident ai Tangiers 6 beautiful tame leopard which, although quite gentle, wa such responsibility that the owner sent him to the zoological gardens of London. He says: -.
 Eight months afterward I visited the gardens, and there ! saw Meimon lying in 6 cage. asked the keeper to allow me to pass the bar in front of the cage, to pat the leopard. He re- piled that it was not permitted but when told him l was the donor, he allowed me to cross the barrier, warB- ing me, however, that the animal was sometimes surly.
 "i approached the cage, where the leopard was lying listies~ in corner.
 Yd Mefa0n, ya hdbeebv boosnff" co beloved Meimon,' cried in Arabic, 'come and embrace me! p
 "The animal sprang up, came to the side of the cage, and doubtless would have embraced me if the bars had not stopped him. l put in my hand and stroked his back, whilst he rubbed against the bars of the cage, making low, purring noise. Then 1 scratched his head, when, to my horror, he sud- denly took my hand in his mouth but tho friendly beast only mumbicd without hurting it, and then let it go.
 "As l Left the cage, the leopard watched me with eager eyes, and when some way o6, turned to look again, the beast was standing up, with his paws on an upper bar, his bright eyes hxed snxiously upon me. So we parted, never to meet again, for tho leopard was dnad when visited the zooiogicaI gardens after two yesrs absence"
