It is just trifle funny to find Cleve-
land already picking out his successor.
Why, before the four years are up the
lament of the father over his son who
slipped into the thrashing machine will
be applicable to him: "Hev you went in
whar the oats goes in, our son? And hev
you KUN out whar the straw kums out,
our son? And hez the wheel horses
trampled on you, our son?" A cartoon.

Old John Thompson of New York
said in 1890, ''When panic comes, all
money will be hid except silver and the
paper issued on it." That's pretty much
the case now.

it so much faster that one is inclined to

A CITY of Roof Gardens.

The majority of the houses in Buenos
Ayres have but one stor.-, whose fiat
roof serves all the purposes of Yankee
lawns and door yards. While the patios
are frequently utilized as dining and sit
ting rooms, it is the universal custom to
promenade in the cool of the day on the
ho~usetops, to sit there at morning and
evening enjoying the refreshing breezes,
extensive views and varied panorama in
the street below. The children find
their favorite playground on the roof.
There the nurses bring their infant
charges. the seamstress her sewing and
the maid her mistress bedraggled finery
to put in order again. The clothes are
dried and aired and ironed atop, and
during the cheated term" of this dew

As l sit here in shadow and alone!
That heaven is vast but makes me more

Who shall its hesitating footsteps guide?
Car cozier the nest my love had made.
Or so my heart feels. since my baby died.
Cold was the night it left my bosom warm
A night of wintry tempest harsh and Wild
Into that world of darkness and of storm
Went forth alone my little toddling child.
I say alone, for who hears angels feet
Pause at the threshold. though we dream
they come?
We hear not even death, the robber feet!
We only know a void is in our home.
Mother, the very name is sorrows own.

'Tis she must tread the wine press all alone.
And when the tears would start must wear .

directors aud officers for 1898 and

and directors of both companies there
were very few changes.
For the Kansas City, Pittsburg and

OKLAHOMA MIDLAND RAILROAD.


The following dispatch from Wash
ingiOn will prove OF interest: KEEP
resenlative Lester, of Virginia, called
up II bill last Friday granting right
of way 10 the Oklahoma Midland rail-
road. lie was induced 10 do so by his
cousin, Lcdru Guthrie, Of Oklahoma
City, who has been here some time In
the interest of the bill. Lester asked
the unanimous consent for its consld-
Grafton. AT this point the house was
gratiiied over Il startling speech made
by Simpson to the effect that he had
no objection to the bill passing. When
the bill had been called up some days
ago, he refused unanimous consent TO
Peel and the friends OF the bill were
somewhat disturbed in temper over
the unlocked for interference. 1t was
believed then and now that Simpson
vas prompted To object on that occa-
sion by representative OF railroad
company, who is not anxious that the
bill should pass. The friends of the
bill made il so warm for Simpson that
he thought II best TO change his anu
tude on the measure and withdraw
his objection. In a few minutes after
this explanation on the part of Simp-
son the bill passed the house. No one
else had ever objected To the bill and
hundreds of other bills just like it have
gone through with unanimous consent,
and none defeated, except at the ill.,
stance of some rival corporations. The
bill provides for u road To be con-
strucled from Joplin, Mo-, TO Benton
vile, Ark, thence direct to Waggoner,
in the Indian nation, thence to Okla
homa City and on TO Wichita Falls,
Tex. 1t also provides for road from
Baxter Springs, Kan, TO tap the other
line west of Waggoncr. The enter
prise is thought to be backed by the
Missouri, Kansas Il Texas railroad
aud strong petitions have been re:
ceived from the commercial club and
board of trade of Kansas City and 9th
er points interested. The Missouri
and Kansas senators have been rec
quested to pass a similar bill in the
senate"
Ii is stated above that the enterprise
is thought 10 be backed by the Mis-.
souri,. Kansas and Texas. This is
probably mistake. 1t is probably
backed either by the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis or the Mis-
souri, Pacific. 1t is confidently be-
lieved that the road as projected will
be built.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.

The following from the Joplin Her.
aid will prove OF interest to those who
are watching the movement OF the
Missouri Pacific:
"As everybody knows, the Missouri
Pacific has built line from Joplin to
Grand Falls, five miles southwest OF
Joplin. This is an expensive five
miles of track and it is not to be
thought that the line would have been
built had the Missouri Pacific people
not intended to extend it. The gener-
al impression has been that Chetopa,
Kansas, is the objective point. The
extension of the line to ChetOpa would
of course largely benefit Joplin, but a
line in that direction is not what we
need most. True. it would give us a
shorter line into The territory than we
now have, but it would prove equally
a. advantageous to Kansas { ity and
other distributing points. What Jop-
lin needs more is short line into the
territory, and 10 that end it is suggest
ed that il would be a wise move 10
project and build line direct from
Joplin to Waggoner, the junction OF
the Missouri Pacific aud the NJ. *. u
T. roads. The Missouri Pacific could
build il by extending the Grand Falls
road through Seneca or via Senera
aud Southwest City, or via Baxter
Springs, or along the route suggested
for. the Joplin and Oklahoma Midland

Such line could be constructed at no
extraordinary expense, aud it would
run through a territory having a pop
ulatiom sufficient to enable it TO be OPP
Grated at a profit. The Missouri Pa
cific has been doing some surveying
between Joplin and Southwest City
and it may be that the construction OF
some such line as is proposed above il

be, the people of Joplin, Seneca, South
