The first through train on the South
jersey Railroad reached Cape May Satur-
day afternoon with throng of invited

The first section pulled out Of the Cam

officers of the South Jersey road were
aboard, together with large number OF
representatives of other railroads. The
second section was started OIL soon after
the first Brief stops were made at Wins
low Junction and also at Tuckahoe,
where the South Jerseys tracks branch
off to Sea Isle City.
On approaching Cape May the trains
were enthusiastically greeted by the resi-
dents, who were out in force to welcome
the South jerseys entrance TO tnat
fam us resort. Bands fill, the air with
music, men shouted, handkerchiefs were
waved and it all ended in a street parade.
Almost every cottage In the place was
Handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting in honor of the occasion, and
several fowery arches contained the
words, "Welcome South Jersey" Cape
May viii Yet Flourish"
The guests were entertained by the rail
| road company ar the large hotels, and the

A WESTERN GARDEN SPOT.

Man Feels Special Interest.
Harry f. Heller the popular travelling
passenger agent for the Chicago, Burling-
ton g. Quincy Railroad, is now proudly
telling people they can ride west from
Chicago on his line distance of 1861
miles. The western terminus of the
Burlington line at present is Sheridan,
Wyoming, to which an extension has
been built from Lincoln, Nebraska
Sheridan, which was created by the
stablishing of the Burlington shops
there, is one of the garden spots of the
earth. II is situated in the centre of
Sheridan county, IA miles east of the Big
Horn Mountains Within radius of
25 miles are half million acres of irri-
gable land, capable Of producing twenty
millions of wheat annually. Fourteen
miles west in the Big Horn Range is
sufficient timber to supply Nebraska and
Wyoming. There are gold mines in the
Bald Mountains 40 miles west and then
comes the Big Horn Basin Of two and Il
b ilt million acres, capable OF producing a
hundred million bushels of wheat annu.
ally.
The crops about Sheridan are surpassed
nowhere on earth. Minerals, fuel and
stone are plentiful. Stock raising Is
prof able. The cost Of living is low and
wages are good. The climate is health
ful, pulmonary diseases and malaria
being unknown. Tne manufacturing es-
Establishments in Sheridan are run by cleo
tricity generated by water power. From
Sheridan the Burlington is building a
road to Billings, Montana. Another spur,
striking the southern boundary Of Yellow
stone Park, will eventually be extended
to the Pacific coast. The Burlington has
now over 5000 miles of road and will
eventually be the largest in the world.

Bruin appeared to be as much surprised
as were Lish and his wife. He stood stock
still and gazed in his turn. Lish had been
missing some hogs that were in the habit
of ranging over on the big mountain back
of the cove, and he now made up his mind
that before them was the cause of the
dimnution of his next winters supply of
pork, AS he thought he grew angry and,
approaching a water bench before the door,
seized bucket half full and dashed its
contents into the bears face. Bruin, shifting
and shaking his head, drew back into the
house, whereat Net not to be behind her
husband in resolution, stepped up and
closed the door in the animals face. Then
both took to watching Bruins antics
through the cracks between the logs. AT
last Net exclaimed:
''Lish, / do believe the critter has gone
down suller. Amt that the suller trap

Lish allowed that it was, then cautiously
unlatched the front door and peered in.
''Retch up and git the gum" said the
wife.
But as it happened the gun was over in
the far corner, instead of being in its rack
where he usually left it. Nevertheless,
everything being quiet he tiptoed across
by the fireplace, and was in the act of
grasping his trusty rifle when up numbered
the bear from the cellar and made for the
door. Mrs. Virgins excitedly shut the
door. Lish did not relish this move, the
gun being unloaded.

that for" he cried.

girl. who had been reared to the belief

Bruin, meanwhile, was standing between
Lish and the path of retreat. The brute
was growing uneasy, for he stood bristling
and growing, with his small, fierce eyes
fixed on the young man, who was searching
his pockets for "A stray cartridge. Net was
struck with an idea as she grew anxious
upon Lish's account.

suggested "Mebbe he'll come out doors

This struck Lish as good scheme, so
down he went, gun and ALL slamming to
