No Tunnels, NO Road.


A Scotchman, who had been employed
nearly all his life in the building CT rail
ways in the Highlands of Scotland, came
to the United States in his later years
and settled in a new section on the
plains Of the far West. Soon after his
arrival, a project came up in his new
home Tor the construction of railroad
through the district, and the Scotchman
was applied to, as man of experience
in such matters.
'fHoor, mon!" said he, to the spokes-
mrn Of the scheme; ''ye Gamma build a
railway across this kentry!"
"Why not. Mr.. Ferguson 2"
"Why not" he repeated with an air
Of settling the whole matter; why not 2

A RUSSIAN peasant in the Simperfool
District had two sons, of whom the
younger WAS his fayorite. The elder,
not liking this, took 81 900 that the old
man had secreted and hid it in a corn
stack. When the old man discovered
his loss, few days later, the elder son
acknowledged having taken the money
and offered to give it up if the father
would promise thereafter to treat him
the same as he did the younger son.
The father agreed, and both hurried off
to the cornstack. But the mice had
been there before them, and the mo ney
