AN IMPROBABLE ROAD.

A Railroad That Cannot Compete with
Mexican Burros.
The recent report of the Sonora branch
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
system, line extending from Benson,
A. T., to Guaymas, Mexico, is not en-
couraging. The road runs along, at the
foot Of immense mountains, through a
waste of sandy deserts and uncultivated
prairies There are few towns OF villages
of any Importance situated near this
road. 1t was constructed at an enor-
nous cost, and it was the dream of the
projectors to make Guaymas danger
GUS rival of San Francisco
The ocean route to Australia and the
Central and South American ports is
hundreds Of miles nearer Guaymas than
San Francisco. and the former port was
intended as depot and entrepot for all
imports and exports from those coun-
tries. But the scheme met with a mon
strous failure. The traffic between this
Mexican port and the United States
scarcely brings in sufficient revenue to
pay the actual expenses of its train serv-
ice. Indeed there has been some talk
Of abandoning that part of the road run
ming between Nogales and Guaymas, a
distance of nearly 800 miles.
A popularity of this road is the fact
that no freight agent has ever yet been
able to make tariff that would COM
pete with tho burros that have line of
commercial travel running parallel with
the Sonora railroad from Hermosillo
to Nogales, Benson aud Tucson. Two
dozen burros are capable of carrying
about as much freight as box car
This mode is cheaper even if it is Ion
ger, but who in that country reckons
time? Moreover, custom duties are reg
ularly saved by the burro route in both
directions. X Cincinnati Enquirer.

Where He Got IT.

The little son of we'll known ply
sician was entertaining playmate al
his fathers house. AS children will,
they ransacked every nook and corner Of
the building. Their curiosity led then
to explore the recesses of closet, il
which the doctor keeps his instruments
and other personal effects, among which
is complete skeleton. The strange boy
was frightened when he first beheld the
grinning remnant of what once had beer
a human being and started to run away.
The doctors son, however, had seen the
skeleton SO often that he entertained fol
it only that feeling of contempt begot
ten by familiarity, and in a little while
succeeded in SO allaying the fears of his
companion that the youngster began to
handle the thing and rattle it's dry bones.
"Where did your father get it?'' he
finally asked. 81 don t know, was the
reply, "but guess it was his first pa.
tient, for he's had it an awful long
time. Butte Miner.

TIA BETTER PART. 8

kAefess gray old church on wind swept hill
Where three bent yew trees COVER.
The gypsy roses grew there still.
And the thyme and St. john gold flower,
The pale blue violets that love the chalk
Cling light round the ichen stone,
And starlings chatter and gray owls talk
In the belfry o. nights alone.
It's thousand leagues and thousand years
From the brick built, gas lit town
To the church where the wild thyme hears
The bees and the breeze of the down.
The town Is crowded and hard and rough.
Let those fight in its press who will,
But the little churchyard is quiet enough,
And there's room in the churchyard still.
