was boy his father taught him to ''pull
the reap hook, hold the plow. and
swing the cradle.'' If our neighbor
had continued in the way his father

practice of holding republican back

his time swinging the bloody shirt in
an attempt to swing the readers of bis

on which Humbert would sit, but the
throne of England, to which he is heir
before the English Queen Descending
both in straight line from Mary Queen
of Scots, through her son, the first
James of England. Victoria strikes of
from James to the continent with his
daughter Elizabeth, while Humbert de-
rives from James son, Charles Z,
through his daughter Henrietta Maria,
who welded the House of Savoy Thus
he has, at the outset, generation more
of English blood in his veins than has

a great Grand Army mogul, having
failed to secure the endorsement of the

it looks now as if the latter would get
the straight republican nomination.

An Alley AMifch.

In Chicago the all-absorbing topic is

alley switch is being agitated. the scheme
of the projectors being to take steps look
ing to the extending of railroad switch
through the alley behind First and Sec
ond avenues, from one of the different
roads coming into Rock Island from
Nineteenth street to Fifteenth. The
idea is to give some of our great ship
ping houses facing on First and Second
avenue, and that of Fleming & Co.,
facing on Sixteenth street, chance
to load and unload cars at their rear
doors and save hauling. The plan would
no doubt improve the facilities of many
of our wholesale houses, as we'll as some
