MY TOM.

I'm lonely without you, my brightest of stars,
Since you went off with grandma to wde on the tars.
No voice In the morning-my sweet baby's CALL
OF "mamlna, tum quick or else will fall"
No pretty brown eyes with loyeght glancing
Through crack in the door,
Or little feet dancing
On dining room floor,
Come back with your mischief you shouts and your nose
Take my chairs for bus scatter broadcast your toys
Pile your building blocks high, let them fall with crash
Or soil the clean floor with your snippngs and trash
I'll not chlde with word, of nerves eer complain,
When my great splendid boy comes home again,
His smiles and his KISSES and his tight clinging arms,
His 'mamma, love YOU my Toms sweetest charms
These Danish all WEAKNESS, pay all the care,
Grown the life of mother with jewels most fair.
Then come back to mamma, don't stay away long,
And I'll sing you another sweet lullaby song.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Striking our for ,he PACING.


CHICAGO, April 16-The Times this morning
says: at is announced upon very good author
tty that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company is behind the proposed Leavenworth
& Denver short-line, which is just now exciting
a great deal OF interest among the business men
Of Denver and points along the proposed line.
1t Is known that the St Paul has purchased
1850 acres OF water front al Oakland. and that
IL has quietly secured the right Of way for
disfanca Of $50 miles from Oakland. through
Stanton and Iathrop The direction of the
route selected is eastward from the Pacific coast
10 salt Lake City, and as the expressed 1nten-
t5on of the people having IN charge the Leayen-
worth & Denver short line Is to construct a line
ward through the mountains to Salt Lake City
IL il very easy 20 believe that the St Paul IS
interested IN the new enterprise. The St Paul
company has an independent line TO Kansas
City and is anxious for Western and South-
western business Il would be easy matter
90 extend this line to LeAyenworth and thence
westward TO Denver, esperially IN view OF the
county along the route. The statement is made
that the Denver people propose to tunnel the
mountains and push the new line on TO Salt
Lake. When these disjointed facts are put to-
0ether and com bined with the St. Pauls recent
purchase Of water frontage at Oakland, and the
right Of way eastward to Salt Lake City, lt
rounds out colossal but entirely feasible

Yalue Of the "1so4" Dollar.

sSThe fact is" remarked Mr.. Richard
Cogan, one Of the dealers, 'fhat" there is
not, and probably never was an original
1904 dollar. BY original we mean, OF
course, one struck in that year. 1t Is
pretty well established now that at that
time it was the custom to use set OF
dies at the mint till they were worn out,
irrespective of the year they were dated.
It is more than probable that all the spec
linens that were struck from the die Of
1904 were made subsequent to that date
"Of the thirteen or fourteen that are
now known to exist" said Mr.. Cogan,
"two are in this city, four in Boston, one
in San Francisco, one in Denver,
and the others are scattered all over the
intervening country. I could give you
the name of every person who owns one:
Mai. Wetmore, of Is Waverly place, has
one which he believes to be the only orig
inal one. It IL somewhat worn and has
evidently been In circulation. This does
not usually add to the value Of coin,
but in this case, If this could be made to
prove that it was struck in the year it
was dated, it might make big differ
ence."
s'How much Is q specimen worth to-
day." asked the reporter.
'That would be pretty hard to- say, "
replied Mr.. Cogan. 'They have sold all
the way from 5000 to $500, and that,
too, for the same specimens. There are so
few of them that they have no regular
market value and the price paid for them
depends entirely upon how badly the pur-
chaser wants one. Probably If one was
offered for sale today it could not be
bought for less than $1,O0O.-New York

as.t Material for Clothing.

The primary object Of clothing in cold
climates Is to retain the heat Of the body;
In hot climates 1t may serve the opposite
purpose of protection from the sun, while
In any place secondary but most i'm
portant object 10 ornaments As TO mate
rial. wool Is the best for retaining heat,
for &c is O bad conductor, and, preventing
loss, feels s'warm." It Is particularly de-
sirable as undertaking for children and
old persons, who have not nuch power OF
resisting cold, and require warm cover
ings. In climate with rapid changes in
temperature the great value Of wooden
understanding is recognized by its univer-
sal use to maintain an equitable warmth.
In hot weather cotton Undertaking is
cooler, because it is better conductor Of
heat, and therefore allows of more loss;
but then 1t at the same time conducts
more of the external heat to the skin, and
thus protects it less, and it involves the
risk of sudden and rapid fluctuations OF
temperature. Furs, like wool, preserve
the heat, while linen and silk, like cotton,
allow It to be more quickly lost.
The color of the outer clothing makes
some difference, for black and dark shades
like dark blue absorb the SUMS rays, while
light bright colors and white reflect them.
The former are, therefore, suitable for
winter, and the latter are preferred in
summer for their GOODNESS, care being
taken that the thickness, nature and ar
rangement of the garments yield the de-
sired effect. So far as fit is concerned,
loosely fitting articles, other things being
equal, are warmer than tightly fitting
ones, because the latter interfere with the
circulation, as cold hands and feet in
tight gloves and boots amply testify.-C.

Second district was very generous

everything in the interest of harmo-
