Decide Before You Start.

Bear in mind one thing, that if
business, pleasure, or necess calls
you away from home at any time,
be particular to have your route
fully decided upon and arranged
before starting. Many things
should be taken into c0nsidera-
ton, especially the inducements
offered by the Wisconsin Central
Company to those who wish to
visit any point in Wisconsin.
Their trains leave Chicago at con-
venient hours. Their equipment
is unsurpassed by any line in the
Northwest. Close connections
are made at st Paul and Minneap-
oils, with the various lines run
ming to all California and Pacific
Coasts points. Ask your nearest
ticket agent for full information,
and be careful that your ticket
reads via the "Wisconsin Central
Lines" JAS. G. POND, Gen'l

If People Only Knew

That the Mobile s. Ohio Railroad
rms throuhg the best section of the
South, where lands within a mile
of the Railroad are $500 an acre
on long time, and improved farms
are only $1,000 to $500 an acre,
and that two farm crops or three
vegetable crops are grown every
year, each of which will net more
dollars per acre than the same
crop in the North; that the wealth
er in summer is cooler, and in
winter warmer, enabling the farm
er to work jim the field all the year
where one has better health and
gets more pleasure in living,
makes living easier and gets
rich faster than he can i'll the
North, there would be such a
rush for these cheap homes as nc
other portion of America has ever
seen.

A FARO GAM z.
In Which a Woman Was the Outside
Banker.

In Which Woman Was the Outside
Banker.
Last night a man accompanied by q
woman, presumably his wife, stopped in
front OF the Palace. After a short col
loquy the woman produced silver dol
lar from the recesses of hand bag and
gave 1t to her companion. He went
into the saloon, but soon returned and
having been given another dollar re-
entered the saloon. This time an in
terested by-stander followed. The man
deposited the dollar on faro table and
it was Immediately transferred to the
capacious NAV of the tiger. Again the
player recouped himself from the hand
bag and returned to the game. Another
dollar went the same way, necessitating
another trip to the sidewalk. The wo-
man with the handbag began losing
enthusiasm in the assault on the tiger,
but she dug up another installment and
the man returned. Luck had shifted
and the dollar won; the same thing
happened again and again at other
tables until the player had five silver
dollars. He went out to make tinan-
cial report to the woman and the hand
bag. 1t was accepted and the money
was filed away in the bottom of the bag
against the unavalling protests OF the
man, and the couple moved on.
