A RESURRECTED LINE.

Tho Gazette has had frequent oc-
casions recently to note the improve
ments that have been made and are
sim in progress In street railway ia
cllities, Fort Worth now has three
distinct lines OF street railways and
during the last year very considerable
improvements and extensions have
been made on all these lines. So much
so has this been the case that Fort
Worth is now pretty well belted with
well equipped street railways which
thoroughfares OF the city and there Is
good reasons to believe from the
amount OF energy and activity that has
been manifested by the street railway
managers they have no intention of
disseminating the good work. but will
strive to give the city better service
every year,
During the last six months first-class
electric street cars have been manu-
featured right here at home, by the
Fort Worth Street Railway company,
excepting of course. the electrical
apparatus,
The recent acquisition by the Glen
wood and Polytechnic Street Car COM
pany OF the Arlington Heights line and
the combination of the two has been u
very decided step In the increase OF
street railway facilities for this city.
Mr. J. t, Noss, the president of the
company, has Just completed negotia-
tlnns for the dlsused Mlstletoe
Heights line and the work of resurrect-
Ing this line was begun yesterday,
Only small portion of the track had
been taken up, and all that will be
required TO put the road In condition
VIII be to dig out the track and to
erect the necessary poles and wires.
The road VIII extend from Mistletoe
Heights TO seventh street there con-
necting for the depot and Polytechnic
College. MIR. Noss states that the road
VIII be ready for operation In about
two weeks.
Six new electric street cars for the
use of the Glenwood and Polytechnic
line have been shipped from the
mandatory In Boston and are ex-
pected to arrive within few days. The
cars are completely equipped with the
latest electrical improvements and
when they are put into use the service

JACK COUNTY MEN
CAME TO FORT WORTH AND SOLD
HOGS,
For Fort worth Is the Natural Mar
ket for m Immense Country.
And Thereby Hangs n Tale.

Yesterday four farmers from Jack
county came to Fort Worth to sell
hUas.
Iney sold their hogs, which averaged
go pounds for 1920 per hundred. Then
these Tour men went to the dry goods
stores and expended considerable of
the money tAey had received for their
hogs n dry goods and also visited other
merchants and bought supplies for
their homes. Tnls may not seem to he
very great thing to notice in the eyes
of some people. but 1t Is pointer to
the iact that IL there had been no hog
market here these Jack county men
never would have come to Fort Worth
TO sell their hogs, and consequently
our Fort Worth merchants would not
have received this custom. And what
is more, what four Jack county men
do may be done by forty Jack county
men, or Wise county men, or
wichita county men. or hun
dreds OF men who naturally seek Fort
worth as their market from the great
country north and west OF us. n country
that Is the natural feeder to this city.
gentleman who noted this Incident
said:
when were the farmers In this part
OF Texas In as good financial condition :?
Never. In 1892. 1898 and 1891 there
were three big crops In succession. an
unusual thing in any country Cotton
In 1891 sold low, yet a bale secured
more supplies in 1893. This year crops
are good except oats. q small item !.
cotton at about half crop IN netting
more than the big crop OF 'si. Dry
goods. clothing and groceries are sold
for actually lower prices in this citv
than they were sold last year. Over
$4,000 has been saved to the farmer h,.
raising half n crop. It cost $40 aver
age to gather, gin and market a bale
OF cotton. Say last years crop was
leQ0o bales; this year 5000 bales, which
sells for more than double. while the
farmer Is not out one cent In labor or
money on the 5000: had the crop been
fun the price would have been one
half.
"The loss Of wheat was serious draw
back. but on the otherhand we have
the largest crop OF corn ever harvested
In the country.
There are more hogs and cattle in
the hands Of the farmers, not ranch
men, but farmers with diversitied
crops. than ever before. As a genera
thing. too. arc farmers are not in
debt.
"Ali Of this fSs to show that We
want TO work up an interest regarding
Fort Worth as trading point FOR
farmers and We viii soon realize lace
benefits from that direction.
there will be no stay In the tide III

Paper Cables Under Water.

For many purposes paper, next to wire, is an excellent insulation, and it has of late come extensively into use in telephonio and other cables But it is not generally known that such an insu- lation has been tried under water This is. however, tho fact. and one such cable is now doing excellent work at the bot tom of the Hudson river at New York, right in the track of all the domestic and seabound traffic. Of course tho cable is lead covered and otherwise protected, but it depends for its insulation, electrical ly, on thin spirals of paper around each stranded interior wire. The laying of such cable in such place might. a few years ago, haye been considered lit, tie short of suicidal, but experience has demonstrated the perfect practieability of the scheme In considering the lay ing of such cables in such situations the fact Is important that 100 pair, paper insulated, lead covered cable can be bought for 50 cents a foot, while the rubber insulated cable would probably cost not less than s per foot, while, figured on the basis of equal electrical effectiveness, the price would be 90 or 100 to in favor of the paper cable. other considerations loft out -Cincin- nati Enquirer

Possibilities of Cuba.

The sugar production of Cuba, enor- nous as 1t now is, can be increased ten fold. And by the aid of modern im- provements in the method of manufac- ture sugar can be produced so oheaply there that no other country In the world can fairly compete with it. Only tithe of the lands adapted to sugar is now under cultivation. Coffee growing, which was once in the front rank of Its industries, has now fallen to a matter of small importance With capital. and confidence in the honesty and good will of the government, this industry could again be put upon profitable footing. So near as 1t is to us, and with the rap- i'd improvement in means of transporta- tion, 1t is the natural winter garden for the United States. There is no question about the frost line, '' that bugbear of the fruit and vegetable growers in our own south. and with cheap lands and cheap labor and the encouragement that steamboat lines are now giving We could be supplied unfailingly with trop- ioal products from this source. Bananas, cocoanuts, oranges, lemons. pineapples, would all pay well for careful and sys- tematio cultivation. n.-Lippincott's.

Hiti,er and Yon.

"Hither and yon," inveighed against as Yankee importation, is simply a form of "hither and yont," good clas- sical Scotch expression and most use- ful one, signifying "here and there and everywhere . or ''all over tho place |" It is thus defined i'll Jamieson;

weren.t the nrothars surnrisadf df

Some time ago there was dance in a Canadian settlement for the benefit of the settlers and their wives. Most of the married ladies had babies with them, whose noisy perversity required too much attention to allow the ladies the full swing of their souls' pleasure in the dance. Soanumber of young men present gallantly volunteered to watch over the refractory infants, so that their mothers could indulge without let or hindrance in the sweets of the Tight fantastic" exercise.
 The gallant offer was readily and confidingly accepted, but no sooner had the women left their dear charges to the care of those misohievous young ras- calls than they commenced stuffing the infants, changing the clothing and giv- ing one the apparel of another, till all were transmogrified.
 The dance and the music continued into the e"we sma' hours," and then it was time to go home The lights were lowered, and each mother hurriedly took a baby, in the dress of her own, and started for home, which, in many instances, was 10 or l5 miles away.
 The following morning there was g prodigious row in the settlement Moth CTS discovered what had occurred, and then commenced some of the tallest fe- male pedestrianism on record. Living as they did miles apart. it required two full days to unmix the babies and as many months to restore the mothers to their naturally sweet dispositions. Those young men never venture into that settlement now. It wouldn't be safe. -Montreal Star.

wAsHERwoMAN TO A POET.
Mrs. Kate Choate, In Honor Of Whoae Housewarming Whittier Wrote yerses

Mrs. Kate Choate, In Honor of Whoss Housewarming Whittier Wrote Verses. Surely few housewarmings-and a housewarming is one of the most mem. oraole and significant of domestic cele- brations-are likely to be remembered with more satisfaction and pride than that which attended the first occupancv of the dwelling of Mrs. Kate Choate of Amesbury.
 She was the poet Whittier's washer. woman, and when by persistent indus. try she had earned home for herself and her family he was one of the fore most among the neighbors and friends who organized the festivities and height ened the delight of their hostess by leav- ing substantial tokens of their regard. including complete set of furniture for the new parlor.
 MT. Whittier was present among the guests and made the speech of congrat. ulation, concluding it with the reeita- tion of Q poem which he modestly de- scFtbed as piece of machine poetry in- trusted to him for the occasion. It was his own, of course. and it is given in full in his Life and Letters, ' recently published. The last three verses are as follows:
 Thanks. then, to Kate Choatei
 Let the idle take note
 What their fingers were made for.
 She, cheerful and jolly,
 Worked on late and early
 And bought-what she paid for. 
 Never vatnly repining
 Nor begging nor whining.
 The morning star wrinkles
 On no heart that's lighter
 AS she makes the world whiter
 And smooths out It's wrinkles.
 So long life to Katel
 May her heirs have to wait
 Till they're gray in attendance.
 And the fatiron press on,
 Still teaching it's lesson
 Of brave independence.
 Mir. Whittier's early poems accorded, in Songs of Labor" due poetic hon. ors to the professions of drover, shoe- maker, shipbuilder, farmer and fisher man, It is pleasant to find him also gracefully recognizing the worth of g profession no less useful and honorable, but less often honored. Long life to Kate" too, he has doubtless secured, in transferring her fatiron and all from the steamy realm of the kitchen to the more romantic atmosphere of verse. Chicago Times
