f. am glad to see the railroad matter re-
ceiving soma attention. In President B angs
Comments upon what 1 said in a former
article as to the action of the board of
trade, l will say in reply that I fully agree
with him that the board can do nothing ex-
cept it receive hearty response from the
CITIZENS. My idea i, for the board to take
the initiative. Call meeting of the men,
oers and all citizens interested in the more-
men'. The result should show whether the
people want the road; nor or nerer is the
ratchmoTd. Let's meet and formulate our
method of procedure.

There is one man in Augusta who laid
eggs the other night much against bis wish'
and he laid them hard enough to break. but
is was not wholly his fault. He had made
purchase at the grocery of dozen OF
fresh ones, and, as the hour was late
started hastily for home. When going over
Rne's hill one of the eggs broke in the bag
and dampened the bottom, which soon gave
way under the pressure. The little treas
ures fell one by one and the carrier did not
know what was occurring till he found the
load was growing light. When he looked
back he saw here and there white spot.

A. L. aANscoM, whose nomination
for the state senate from this district,
brings him prominently before the
people, is comparatively unknown out
side McHenry county, hence we deem
it in order to give short sketch OF
his life. Mr.. Hanscom was born in
Maine, where he spent his boyhood,
and when yet young man volun-
teered to fight in defence Of his coun-
try. He served through the war with
honor, and some gears later removed
to the northwest. About twelve years
ago, he came to the Mouse River
country and went into business. For
a time he was in the hardware busi.
mess in Towner, but some years ago
left town and settled on farm
where he has lived ever since. Mr.,
Hanscom is straightout Republican
--one Of the Jim Blaine, Tom Reed
variety, and if elected will undoubted
ly serve his constituents in true blue
Republican style. a<e,1

The Restaurant.

! It is a distinguishing CHARACTERISTIC OF
living languages to grow, not only BY IN
ternal development. but by the adoption
Of words from other tongues. This is
especially true of the English language.
and sometimes il seems to prefer strngers
to its own children. Eating g-house is
certainly English. and clear enough in
meaning. yet restaurant" has almost
crowded il ont. A meal in restaurant
is no more apt 70 BE satisfying than one
in an eating house. but If we study the
words, the former seems to have more
meaning The French word means a
place where restoration" is accomplished.
restoration is the act Of restoring; re-
store means to bring back or replace
that which was lost or spent. It is. then.
peculiarly appropriate .o speak ot the
place whefe. By means Of q plentiful and
well-served meal. we restore our
strength impaired By fatigue. Of our tenn
per. irritated by hunger--as as place Of
restoration. . Another pecniiarity Of
the restaurant is that the guest selects
what sni,s both his taste and bis purse.
and pays only for what he orders. The
Burlington II ute, dining CATS, & s
tauran,s "a wheels, always celebrated for
their cuisine, have adopted the plan Of
ordering from the card. and The traveller

EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.

EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.
A Form Of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
In This Country.
Among the methods Of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country. but
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uniniSiated this measure may be regard.
ed as no less than revolutionary, 1t II
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were un-
dertaken by Salzmann with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal, In Thur
ingia, when Washington was president
of the United States. Since the close OF
the last century the school excursion. In
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature Of perhaps the
majority Of the elementary schools Of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches Of knowl-
edge, for the reason that, by means od
outings, the pupil may be brought In
direct contact with various phases Of
nature and the works Of man. And in
deed the locality is exceptionally unfa-
yorable where an abundance Of material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences
III Germany this broad study OF the
environment is recognised as distinct
branch Of knowledge, known as die
heimathskunde (homeology), and q
such is included in the curriculum q
the first three years Of the elementary
schools. DIR. j. M. Rice in Forum.

Her Sight Was Better.

There is an nwfully bright woman in
this town who has u great, big, good nat
urcd and fairly good looking husband who
dotes upon her. So far rs his personal at
fractions go, he never gives them a
thought, but she delights in giving him
credit for being tho most conceitod mortal
ON tho face of the earth. One night she
took two friends to the theater-a mother
and u daughtcr-tho former Of whom has
a great admiration for tho husband In
question. Business prevented his accom-
panying the trio, but he promised to get to
the thcatcr In time to escort the ladies
home. The old lady looked around the
house, e~ndeavoriny to discover the young
man, as the performance drew toward a
close, but her search was unavailing.
mo" she said, when she gave 1t up, ''he
is not here, and l haven't seen a man as
good looking rs he Is here either"
This delighted tho wife, and when she
reached home she told her husband when
he arrived IL few minutes later.
THAT was very kind, :" he remarked on
hearing of tho compliment, and he added,
did Mrs. BIS daughter say the same
thingf"
"Oh, no" returned his spouse quickly.

Avn opinion OF Talleyrand.

ne of Lafayette in Union square just be-
cause Talloyrand in his Memoirs" says
tho famous general was a very ordinary
man. To offset this the opinion of Gilbert
Stuart, the portrait painter of a century
ago., might be quoted. While T~alleyrand
was in Boston he visited the studio of
Stuart, and before the name of the illus
trious person had been announced the art
list, who was reputed to be a physiogno-
mist Of no mean ability, remarked to q
friend who was curious respecting the I'm
preston made by the political exile, If
that man Is not o villain, the Almighty
does not write a legible hand."-New

left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell so far, nearly 100 900
of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him; obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
tarns to an advertisement and m out
of it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in USE everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 200. 900 more of his
make. That means a business Of 500

When to Throw Up Your Hands.

"When a desperate gets the drop on you,
the only thing for Il sensible man to do is
to throw up his hands, said James

The most desperate man will throw up his
hands when he has the worst of Tho draw.
He argues that if he is being arrested he
will always have the chance of escaping.

ate and intimidate him, why, there is the
broad future to get even in. Ihave known

ton for bravery. The coach was held up
on the old Santa Fe trail. The guard was
Une of the first to surrender. The pas
sengers were Disguised as they stood in
line and were robbed. When the coach
renewed its journey, they were very harsh
In the criticism of their guard. The coach
rolled on for u half mile and turned a benz
behind some rocks. The guard then
stopped the coach and unstrapped a win
chester from the side of the vehicle. Then
he started back on foot alone. just as he
expected, he came across the men on the
road dividing their booty. They did not
perceive him until he got his winchester
at work and killed all three in their tracks.
Then he stepped forward, secured all the
booty and the weapons of the robbers and
rejoined the coach about nightfall, the
driver having moved slowly, as he knew
what the bravo fellow was up to."7St.
