"I'll tell you, sir, cos you're a

THE NORTHERN ROAD.
Mr.. o. A. CrandaII, Of Seda!ia,

The following editorial from the
Springfield LeadsT of the 18th inst,
was shown to Mr.. Crandall by
BAzoO representative this afternoon
That is very good article said he

publish it:
The report that Mr.. Crandall is ne
gotiatins with the Chicago and Alton
Railroad for the purpose of turning
over to it the subscriptions, franchises.
etc, of the Springfield and Northern,
is causing considerable comment
among railroad people, especially the
Mo. Pac., which occupies all the terri
tory north of this city between the
Frisco and the NJ. X. n T., and l.

nell and Wichita ra ,ches. The &.
Il \. il one of the m 1T conservative
COMPANIES in the country. Their
lines from Kansas City and st. Louis
to Chicago are the best
paying lines in the country and
they are 50 well satisfied with their
property that they show no inclination
to venture beyond their present posses
sions. Should they become interested
in the proposed North Road it would
indicate a more aggressive spirit than
heretofore and show desire to GO
forth and conquer. Such move
would force the Missouri Pacific to-
extend its Southern branches, which
are now merely held Us feeders to the
main line and monopolize the bushes,
OF the country South of the Gasconade
River or the East to the Kansas bor-
der.
The fact il agitation has called at
tention To the rich lands between
Springfield and the Missouri river
where coal, iron and lead abound.
watered with rivers bordered with
fertile lands that only require the
touch of the husbandman to make
them bring forth abundant harvest.
The building of the Northern road
will populate that country with an in
telligent, enterprising and progressive
people, and add to the wealth of Mis-
souri, untold millions.
This will be. accomplished by the
building of the Springfield and North
ern railroad.

She was young and fair and we'll
nigh faultless-like the late English
laureate's Elaine in the legend. The
sunlight seemed to linger lovingly in
her soft, brown hair and her pretty
eyes were aglow with happiness ami
intelligence.
She was i,lolized by her family, and
all who knew her congratulated them
selves upon being favored by her
friendship. She was worth knowing.
Gifted with high order of mental
qualities. which had been and were
still being trained and cultivated, her
intercourse with her admirers and as

How could the glad eyes grow dim in
death? and how could the pale rose of
mortality take the place of the tinted
flower Of health and beauty in her

God knows.
There Is a Great White Throne, and
around it are ''Lenore" and ''Anna-

new living clad in the white

DOOlittle's Wooden Dog.

My friend Doolittle is q funny man OF
much leisure. One of these fellows of
whom people say that they are ''full OF
tricks"
He lives out in the Western Addition. but
for long time his neighbors have wished
lie would move into some other part of the
city. for Doolittle has made their lives a
burden by playing all kinds of pranks at
the most unseemly hours.
To explode half q dozen big Chinese
bombs when tie whole district is wrapped
In slumber, TO turn on every water faucet
he can reach ana cause deluge, TO scare
the wits out OF timid men and women by
fixing up ghostly apparitions in the night.
to yell fire and enjoy the terror of the people
in the neighborhood. who run to find out
whose house is burning-ail these and many
similar little diversions Doolittle calls prac-
teal jokes.
They say out where he lives that he lies
awake at night inventing d!abolical schemes
to have the fun Of hearing people call him
names.
Doolittle owns one Of those wooden bull
dogs one finds in modern parl0rs guarding
the fireplace nowadays.
The dog was a clever mita ton Of the live
article and looked quite natural.
Sitting In his window and having al
usual nothing to do. Doolttle' saw the
Pounda wagon coming in the direction OF his
house, aud he al once conceived a brilliant
idea.
He would fool those fellows with their
lariats by making them catch his wooden
dog, he said to himself. and then he at once
proceeded to carry this plan into effect.
The painted image was planted on the
sidewalk with a string attachment, the
other end of which Doolittle worked from
his window so as TO give the dog motion.
Poundkeeper Partridge's deputies ap-
preached and saw what they considered
their legitimate prey calmly summing him
self on the asphaltum.
Swish went the larat. The aim was
good ana poor wooden doggIe was caught.
Now came D0nlittle's chance.
He rushed out Of the house and indig-
nantly demanded to know what right these
men had TO interfere with any ornament he
choose TO set out III the sun to dry, and
when he discovered that the rude handling
his mantel decoration had received had re-
suited in one Of its legs being broken, he
let out a torrent of abuse which was ZOO
strong even for a deputy dog catcher. and
the municipal Pound outfit disappeared
from the scene in hurry.
Now D0olittle chuckles when he tells the
story, and Partridge is mighty lucky If he
escapes without sui. for damages on ac-
count of That wooden leg ALBERT MAY.
