Great Rock Island Route
TO THE E.AST

Best Dining Car Service in the World
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
s thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches. all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

A BIRD STORY.
A Liberated Lark Returns to Its Captor
and Cage.

ana cage
hope, although the incident may
be trivial. that the little fact may in
terest your readers as much as it did
myself when I was listening some
nights ago to the little lark of whom
my story tells, piping away in what
the poets ca I ''dulcet strains" of the
most melodious music.
My friend, James Shanock, three
years ago caught a young lark, and it
has been pouring out its song ever
since then from its cage. and a very
sweet note it Is. Some little while
ago, as the afternoon was sunny. the
cage was hung outside in the garden
at the moment another lark was car
cling in the air, aud Shanock's bird
rose from the cage, which was only
covered with a fine net and in which
there must have been a rent. and dis
appeared in the direction of the other
lark My friend seeing this, at once
began to whistle holding up the cage
20 attract his pet back again, and in
very short time down it came to his
feet, and waited patiently while he
gently replaced him in his cage. There
were three witnesses. / believe, in
this case
The funniest thing, too is that
about the same time James Shanock's
cat brought him in a little bird quite
delicately and waited for him to take
it from his mouth quite uniniured.
He is great bird lover, and it looks
as if the cat, like verybody else,
knew this fact

a TRICKY FOG.
1t Got Even With the Man Who set
His Dog on 1t.

His Dog on 1t.
Henry Truitt had assembled a tall
adder to make some repairs to the
roof of his residence and while stand
ing on the top rounds of the ladder he
noticed large hog enter his yard.
Not wanting the animal on his prem
ises he called his dog and melted the
bruth to attack the intruder.
The hog stood still for some min
ates. with its head turned to one side,
as if contemplating with contempt the
barking dog and considering what was
best to do in the case. The man on
the ladder called more earnestly to his
dog. and his words seemed to put de-
cision in the head of the hesita ting
hog, for it instantly made a dash for
the foot of the distant ladder, and,
running squarely against the end rest
ing on the ground, knocked it from
its perpendicular position, throwing
Truitt headlong to the earth from
height of nearly twenty feet. AS the
tumbling man weighed 22s pounds he
would have undoubtedly been killed
by the heavy fall had he not been for
tunate enough to drop sprawling
across the back of the retreating hog
as it raced for the gate to reach the
street.
The collision knocked the breath out
of both man and beast, but the latter
recovered its vocal powers first, and
when it squealed its surprise in loudest
tones. the man expressed his senti-
ments over the situation in language
more forcible than refined Although
badly bruised and sore from his
shaking up" Mr. Truitt gets around
more nimbly than the tricky hog, as
its spine was almost broken by the
ponderous load it had brought down
upon its back, and emits frightened
squeak whenever approached
