,he Latest Thing in Tourist Sleeping cars.

The Rock Island has inaugurated new
feature, which promises to create cons:d-
cradle interest in railway Improvement, it
being free tourist car service, with nearly
all the coDveniences of the palace car, in
Guiding colored porters in attendance, fine
hair mattresses, pillows, blankets, soap,
etc. When made up for the night the
fourteen sections are partitioned off with
sliding panels and curtained with heavy
damask draperies. Tables. attachable to
the sides or the interior, are provided for
each section. The cars are heated BY
steam, the aisles carpeted, and cuspidores
for the cleanliness of the cars are added.
The duties of the porter accompanying
each car will be similar to those of the pal
ace car service-to look after the wants of
the passengers and see that the car is kept
perfectly clean. In one end is the ladies'
lavatory, and in the other one for gentle
men, which are as nicely appointed and
furnished as the most fastidious would
desire. The intention of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska is to furnish these
cars free of charge to tourists or excursion
parties when the number of persons is suf-
tciently large to justify the use of car or
cars With such accommodations, and
without charge, there is no further neces-
slty OF a western tour without sleeping ac-
commodations, nor is it necessary to make
such a trip expensive. 1t is a great in
duCement for parties, clubs, or any con-
siderable number of persons contemplate
ing trip to the Rocky Mountains, for in
stance. And too, the Denver& Rio Grande
has adopted the same scheme, and as the
Rock Island connects with this route in
Colorado, the free tourist car system will
no doubt be generally adopted by those in
search of the pleasure and healthgiving re-

u.man Shows Billy n Trick.

William Sparks and Hcman Bralnard
were exchanging fish tales, when Heman
suggested that he should show his friend
how to catch black bass. Tho offer was
accepted. "Well, them" said Heman,
"before we go / will let you into the
secret. We must have ut least two dozen
shingles of the ordinary lengthand about
four inches wide Tho lines should be
about three and half feet long, passed
through hole in tho center of the
shingle."
~What do you bait them WITH in.
quired Billy.
81 was just going to tell you that.
Bait the hooks with live frogs, so that
they can swim about in the natural way.
Attach one frog to each hook, and when
the line, single, hook and frog arc all
arranged Just drop them overheard and
the big bass will go for the frogs"
The day for the fishing expedition ar
rived. The hooks were all baited and
put into the water together, and Hcman
proposed that they should row away and
fish for perch awhile, and then row back
to pull in the lines. The water was q
little rough, but tho instructor said that
was just what the occasion demanded.
and he anticipated great sport a little
later.
Said he; AS we row down you will
see shingles bobbing up and down, and
MS you reach out after ono it will disap-
pear, and then you will SEQ it on top Of
the water again, perhaps fifty feet away,
and so on until we get them"
They decided what to do with the bass
and then rowed back. The shingles were
coming in sight again, and as Hcman
pulled the oars Billy held his breath and
gazed forward.
BE thought he saw n shingle dive, but
Il was only his imagination, for there.
placidly and unconcerncdly on each and
every shingle sat baited frog. New

II was not on the field Of battle,

To the depths Of Disgrace and sim
Down 10 worthless being,
From the hope Of what might have beer
For the brand Of a beast besot.ed,
He barterod his manhood's crown;
Through tho gate Of sinful pleasure
My poor, weak boy, went down.
'Tis only the Same old story,
That mothers 30 often tell
With accents OF infinite sadness,
Like the tones OF funeral bell;
But never once thought when heard II
should learn all its meaning myself.
thought he'd DO true to hi mother,
I thought he'd DO true to himself
But alas for my hopes all delusion
Alas for his youthful pride
Alasi Who arc safe when danger
In open on every sidel
Oh, can nothing destroy this great evil
No bar in their pathway be thrown
To save, from the terrible maelstrom
The thousands Of boys going DOWN.
