A RAILROAD ADVENTURE.
It Was Amusing, But Not at the Time It
Happened.


A lady who has been travelling
abroad related an adventure, says the
Youths Companion, which befell her in
Italy in railway train, an adventure
that is not without it's amusing side.
Her husband put her into a compart-
ment alone, and went to attend to the
luggage. After he had gone villain
ous-loolSing fellow got in, and present
ly the train started off, the husband
not appearing. The lady was naturally
a good deal disturbed, and the way In
in which the stranger looked at her did
not tend to diminish her agitation.
Suddenly, still with his eyes fixed up
on her, the man took from his pocket
large clasp-knife and opened it. Then
he rose and deliberately cut from the
window blinds their cords, and began
to knot them together. The lady was
terrified almost to death, She expect
ed to be strangled on the spot, and be-
gan appealing to the stranger to spare
her. He only laughed brutally, an
swering her in Italian, of which she
did not understand word.
Then he pulled off his coat and waist
coat, and just as the terrified woman
was almost prepared to fling herself
out of the compartment of the swiftly
moving train, he knotted the cords so
as TO piece out broken suspender, put
on his coat and waistcoat, and sat
quietly down in corner, where he
went quickly to sleep.
The husband, who had by mistake
got into wrong compartment just as
the train was starting, and who joined
his wife at the next station, found her
on the verge of Mysteries from the ef-
fects of the fright she had undergone.

AN ARAB LOVER.

How Wanderer of the Desert Psys
Court to tho Object Of His Passion.
An Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love, but he is also nightly excita-
bic and easily won. An Arab sees girl
bearing water or brushwood and in a
moment, almost at glance. is as mad
ly in love as if he had passed years of
courtship. He thinks of nothing else.
cares and dreams of nothing else but
the girl he loves; and not infrequently.
adds the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
If he Is disappointed in his affection.
he pines and dies. In order to COM
mence his suit he sends for q member
of the girls tribe who has access TO the
harem and, first insuring his secrecy by
a solemn oath, confesses his love and
entreats his confdant to arrange an in
terview. The confidant goes to tho
girl, gives her a. flower or q blade Of
grass and says: Swear by him who
made this flower and US also that you
will not reveal to anyone that which I
am about TO unfold to you" If the girl
will not accept the proposal she viii
not take the oath, but, nevertheless,
keeps the matter perfectly secret from
all. If she is favorably disposed to the
match she answers: "I swear by him
who made the flower you hold and u.s."
and the place and time of meeting are
settled. These oaths are never broken,
and it Is not long before the ardent
lover becomes the happy husband.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
A Democratic Paper Boldly Advocates the
POpulist Plan OF Work.

A Democratic Paper Boldly Advocates the
PopuIist Plan OF Work.
There is a universal cry going up from
every township in the United States for
better roads Business is stagnated,
labor is unemployed, the future has no
promise to it While there is no par
ticular immediate danger of panic, yet
there is no prospect that the people
will be in any better shape Christmas
week in 1888 than they are now.
Such an outlook, if not discouraging,
is very unsatisfactory. Ask for a rene
dy and there seems to be none forth
coming. At such a time there is a
chance for congress to make itself IA
nous and place the country on the high
road to prosperity. Let it authorize
the issue of $500, 900, 900 of road green
backs (the same as were issued to pros
ecute the wary. There will be a limit
to, and specific purpose for, this is
sue. Whenever a state or a county
builds certain specified kind of road
and it comes up to the requirements
and is accepted by the government sur
veyors, then so many dollars per mile
of road greenbacks are to be paid out to

debts due the government, and to re-
main part of the currency. No one
Except money changers) would ask for
its redemption. The faith of the gov
ernment would be behind it, and it
would be sought for just the same as
the present greenbacks.
Some will cry out fiat money" etc,
ETC., but Horace Greeley uttered a
philosophical truth when he said in
1871, THE right way to resume specie
payment is to resume" and eight years
after that time, after resumption be-
came an accomplished fact, the people
found that Horace Greeley was right
The road greenbacks would not af-
feet the present expenses or revenues
of the government except to increase
as the people would be prosperous and
have more money to spend Whenever
the people have money to spend the
government pocketbook gets fat, while
dearth and stagnation make a lean
pocketbook, hard times and discomfort.
By this system the people would have
broader and better roads, more money
in circulation and no interest-bearin
debt to pay, but Wall street would have
"a pain. Holden Mo- Enterprise.

THE ANTl-OPTlON BILL,

OptiOn Dealing is Fully as Demoralizing
as Playing Poker or Shooting Craps.
That there should, be opposition to
the anti-option bill in the senate is, in
our opinion, an evidence of the decay
of statesmen. Every negro boy that is
found shooting craps" for penny is
"yanked" up before the criminal court
and fined and usually serves his fine
out in prison. Other sorts of petty
gambling are punished with great re-
gard for the law Yet option dealing.
which is no less gambling than playing
at cards, goes on in it's work of corrupt
ing men without hindrance. We saw it
stated some years ago that there
was ticker in the national
capitol to facilitate gambling in
grain, etc, by senators and
representatives Option dealing is the
most corrupting thing on earth to-day.
Through it the partner wrecks the firm,
the clerk bankrupts his employer. The
man fairly well off becomes bankrupt
in day. The losses from gambling in
grain and other produce and in rail-
road and other stocks make thieves,
forgers Perjurers, embezzlers and sell
outs out of good men. Wheat will go
up believes Mr.. Blank. He hears of this
man and that getting rich in single
deal. He knows, he thinks, that
wheat will go up. Why not make few
thousand? He invests according to his
belief He puts in hundred and wins.
Wheat is still going up he is certain.
Why not make many thousands9 He
uses his employers money, but this time
he loses. The money he took to use just
day or two he could not replace in
years with his wages His only chance
now is to use more of his employers
money. He saves himself in the next
transaction, but the infatuation of
gambling has possession of him and he
deals again with his employers money,
and again, and yet again, until he has
almost bankrupted his employer before
he is found out The public official
deals in options He wakes up some
morning to find himself bankrupt.
His fine house must go. His costly fur
niture must be parted with. His
daughter, off at college, must be called
home. His reelection is impossible.
What can he do to avoid the disaster3
Capitalists will help him if he does not
fight them. His constituents are sold
out and his vote goes against his con-
science. Option dealing is a curse to
the land Let it be prohibited and let
the people watch those who dare vote
to approve of this mammoth system of
gambling Missouri World

''Tennyson met Tom Moore at
Rogers, and there, too, he first met
Mr.. Gladstone. John Forster, Leigh
Hunt and Landor were also associates
OF that time. One of Tennysons often
companions in those days was Mr.. Hal

Carlyle's French Revolution Mr..
Hallam replied, in his quick, rapid way:
Upon my word, opened the book and
read four or five pages. The style is so

the History of the Middle Ages was:
'Eh! the poor, miserable skeleton of a

1t may interest admirers of Tennyson
to learn that once, when the poet was
reading Maud surrounded by silent
company in the twilight, when he
came to the birds IN the high hall-gar-
den calling MAUD, Maud, Maud,
Maud" he stopped short and asked an
authoress who happened to be present
what birds these were. The authoress,
much alarmed, and feeling that she
must speak, and that the eyes of the
company were upon her, faltered out:
''Nightingales." ''PoohI" said Tenny-

kansas City has built within four

this rate one million dollars would
