A story ON Rennett.

When a man becomes great some
one Immediately tells a story on
him. Here's one Oh Nelson Bennett
the contractor who has so many law
suits and dollars: "Whlle he was
building the famous Stampede tun-
mel, he issued an order forbiddiug
the driver Of the dump cars to allow
any one to ride in or out Of the tun-
mel on a car One day Bennett was
in at the heading clad in oyeralls,
gumboots and an overcOat whose
better days were DER, and started
to walk out to the mouth of the tun-
mel just as the dump car was leav-
ing. Bennett jumped aboard the
small platform which the driver
stood on, and was promptly told to
get Off o'here.' This somewhat
surprised the contractor, and he
remarked, guess you hav'nt been
driving here very long Nav ]
hav'nt,' said the driver, but you get
of7n this car p. ID. @. dye hear?'
But I have a right to ride on these
cars, said Bennett-'1Sot while Pm
drivin' 'em you DON'T said the
driver, skip and Bennett meekly
skipped and walked slowly out.
When he reached the mouth of the
tunnel he met Nat Turner, superin-
tendent of the business, and told
him his adventure. When the driver
came up again Turner stopped him
and introduced him to Bennett.
The driver expecting that he would
be discharged Immediately an
nounced his intention of quitting
right there, but Bennett would not
hear to it, he complimented the
fellow very highly for his rigid en-
forcement Of the rules, and seemed
to enjoy the joke fully as much as
the rest of the force who heard
about t."--Democrat.

THE map makers will be busy
with North America during the
next half n century. To the far
sighted observer it has long been
manifest that "A community of in
terests must eventually weld all of
North America, including the West
Indies, into one colossal nation
the mighuest, the richest, the freest
and the happiest within the ken of
history. Natural conditions, mutual
benefits, and the general gravitotion
ofhuman affairs, point to the grad
ual absorption by the United States
of all the vast regions ON her north
ern and southern boundaries.

Good Dight-the tile lips touch ours,
The little arms enfold us;
And oh, that thus through coming years
They might forever hold us.
Good night! we answer back and smile,
And kiss the dropping eyes;
But in our Trembling hearts the while,
The wistful queries rise:
Who in the weary years to com
When we are hid from sight,
Will clasp these little hands and kiss
These little lips good night?"
