They have their exits and their entrances,
and one man in his time plays many part.
Shakespeare.
When the Immortal bard dug out from
the virgin soil Of originality that inten.
sely expressive idea, he struck the nail
on the head with his usual unerring pre-
cision. Perhaps he intended that re.
mark for the politicians Of this century.
Anyway the words are as applicable to
them as any other actors in the great
drama Of every day life The late cleo.
tion has proved hey, nd doubt that
some Of our quondam officials and recent
political aspirants have made their little
bow to the public, and are now wading
painfully and with very unsteady gait
against the tantalizing current, and
through the treacherous quicksands of
that classic stream, which is aptly term
ed salt Creek And we will suppose
when they have reached its head waters,
after having endured hardships and in.
Cured losses that would knock all STAN
ley's exploits into cooked hat, that they
will discover some Elysium teeming
with bread and milk and Mckinley
champagne, wherewith to recuperate
their defunct energies previous to re.
monkeying with the deadly band wagon.
And while the disappointed ones are
pursuing their toilsome march towards
the Respondent realms of the beauteous
by and by, there are other gladiators
stepping into the political arena, their
brows wreathed with recently acquired
laurels, and triumphant smile Of salts
faction on their lips, who will probably
in their turn experience the fate Of theil
late predecessors or opponents. And lei
us hope that when tho fatal hour arrives
they will experience defeat with stoical
indifference, and take their medicine with

New Railroad Project.

1t is announced that railroad is about
to be built from Denver to Salt Lake City
This road will be 286 miles shorter than
the Denver and Rio Grande route. The
new road is destined to reach the Pacific

THE LOFrIEsT STRUCTURES.
Ths Einel Tower Outdone- m cunt
Davidson Compared.

DAVIDSON ON parcel
In conjunction with the great Worlds
Exposition at Chicago in 1898 prepare.
tions are being made to erect tower
which shall surpass all other efforts in
that line in the history Of the world.
1t is to be l 800 feet high by 4sO feet
at the base, constructed of steel and
iron and supported BY l6 great arched
legs. The architecture is of modern
Renaissance style and was designed by
Messrs, Kinkel and Polk of Chicago. 1t
will require over 1000 tons of steel and
5000 tons Of iron. Its estimated cost is
$4,000, 900. In the center will be large
dome 200 feet wide and 200 feet high.
This is calculated for concert and theat.
rical purposes, and will have seating
capacity of $4,000 persons. The walls
and canopy will be richly decorated in
oriental style. Eighteen elevators, with
a capacity Of so people each, will make
twelve trips an hour. Only two eleva-
tors will run distance of 1850 feet.
Many will take advantage of the trip.
Here money will secure passage for at
least short journey in the direction
which all would like to travel At the
landing there will be large restaurant
where the travellers can lunch and rest
before returning to earth again. At the
apex will be a great globe thirty-three
feet in diameter, provided with sixteen
powerful lights which will be observable
so miles distant. Admission fee will be
25 cents: SO cents to 400 feet and ST to
top. When completed it will be 500
feet higher than the Eiffel tower in Paris
and the greatest agricultural construction
erected in the history of man. 1t will
be the pride Of our nation and one Of the
most attractive features Of the gr at ex-
position.

the editor Of the Olympia Tribune.
'They are to be found" continued the
professor, "that high in the unsurveyed
townships near the foot of Mt. Tacoma;
and what is more, have seen them and
made an instrumental measurement of q

lots of trees near the base OF Mt. Tacoma
whose foliage is SO far above the ground
that it is impossible to tell to what
family they belong, except by the bark.
Very few people know or dream of the

could send iag-pole, for instance, from

Two Kentuckians Settle o Difficulty and

q Bill In Gentlemanly Way.
& A bluegrass idyl has been circulating
through the Southern society for several
days. ltis. says the New York Times,
tale Of two Kentuckians-one a Major,
the other Colonel-who, after a night
OF luck at poker, determined to crafty
an oft-expressed desire to visit New
York. They came, and after two days.
OF sightseeing the Colonel suggested to
the Major that a trip to New York
would not be complete without dinner
at Delmonico's. The Major agreed.
1t was deemed that it would hardly
be considerate to take MIR. Delmonico
unawares, and in order to prepare him
Tor 80 unusual an event as swell din
ner for two the Kentucky gentlemen
went to the restaurant early in the day,
called for the head waiter and told him
what they wanted. "Spare no expense"
they said. sN>a,,,~,,.-
They dined at six. ft,was splendid
dinner. They tasted wines otsall kinds
that they had never heard OF before.
They ate great deal and drank a great
deal and told each other stories that both
knew by heart The banquet lasted
three hours.
They called for their bill. The waiter
placed check, face down, on the menu.
The gentlemen were toasting each other
as the waiter did this, and when they
PLACED their glasses on the table he was
gone. They saw what appeared to them
to be scrap Of paper on the menu
and brushed it off. Dhe old fell
lows were ignorant of the customs of
French restaurants and they concluded
that the menu must be tho bill. The
Colonel began to figure up the prices.
1t seemed that they had eaten great
deal, but the names Of dishes were in a
language unknown 70 them, and, any
way, they were not in mood to bother
about trifles.
But the Colonel gasped when he fig
ured up the total. 1t was $500.
"Great heavens, sahp' he exclaimed
to the Major. ''It is 5000. If we pay
this we can't get back home"
"We might" suggested the Major,
family, 1--WE might jump out of this
window and run"
"No, sah," said the Colonel, bringing
his fist down on the table. "We are
Kentucky gentlemen, sab. We will pay
this bill, sab, and then, sab, we will
shout the landlord, sah."
