The prize wonder in the shape of

railway station, with waiting rooms for
travellers, telegraph and ticket offices
and very pretty and natural platform,
we'll lighted and having in its center a
flower garden and a spouting fountain
There are also signal boxes, lights,
switches, water tanks-in fact, every
thing used in conjunction with well
regulated railway station. There is q
dial in the center tower, which shows
time at New York, Picking, Warsaw and
London. Every quarter of an hour the
station begins to show signs of life.
First all of the little figures Of telegraph
operators begin to work their machines,
the head automaton going through the
form of sending dispatch to the effect
that "the line is clear" Then the door
opens, and upon the platform appear

Next long line of little figures file up
to the miniature ticket office.
After this the porters appear, carrying
luggage, the bell rings, and instantly
miniature train dashes out of tunnel
and halts before the platform of the sta
ton house. While the train is waiting

axles with tiny hammer, another
pumps water into the tank of the en-

of the bell, whereupon the door of the
single coach opens, and the little figures
slide in ON an almost invisible wire,
the opening closing after them. A sec
ond tap of the bell is the signal for the
wheel tester, waterman and fuel carrier
to retire into the station house.
After the third signal the whistle
gives two toots, and the train quickly
disappears in a tunnel opposite to the
one from which it emerged five minutes
before When the train is out Of sight,
the station master and his assistants
leave the platform, the doors close be-
hind them, and they all retire to the
other side of the station house, where,
at the expiration of 10 minutes, the
train again appears, and the passengers
file out and seat themselves in the build

around the station house.-St. Louis

While on the bridge one night
this week we overheard a CONVEX
sation that was not altogether
pleasant for one of our young
druggists; he imprudently wrote
a note to young Doctor telling
him that they were invited that
evening by two young ladies to
eat some ice cream, but ice cream,
there was none, and a promenade
was decided upon, and the bridge
spanning the Teche the destina-
ton. While enjoying the refresh
ing breeze, our young Doctorwho
had paid visit to the same lady
the day previous, began to tell
her how he made it a pleasure to
answer to the agreeable invitation.
The young lady thought the Doc
tor POLITICALLY inspired and let
him recite his tale, but when she
had the story in full, waited for
the druggist who was enjoying
the breeze little further east,
and when he came back was faced
by the young lady who propoun-
ded him some direct questions
and Tor while our druggist was
pretty confused. The other young
lady who was accompanied by the
druggist and informed of the lit
tie trick enjoyed the little scene
as much as we did. The druggist
got good scolding but the Doc
| tor got no ice cream.

STRUCK WITH AN IRON.
Della GIlliIand Hurt With Missile

Pretty little Della Gilliland, of No.

runs a blacksmith shop at No. Il q street

1t was not with q malicious spirit that
Hurley struck the little girl, but ii was
Saturday and he had looked through the
bottom Of too many glasses. He smashed
the windows OF his shop and he threw horse
shoes and hammers into the street.
A throng of the children of the neigh
borhood gathered in the street near the
snithy to see the fun. Often they had TO
dodge the flying iron and the whizzing mis-
slles. Little Della was there, and just as
she was laughing loudest at some antic
of the drunken man, a score of children
shouted Lookout, Della!' and piece
of iron hit her on the temple, making an
ugly wound, which at first was thought
TO be quite serious.
Mrs. Hurley upon learning what had
happened fastened to the Gilliland resi-
dcnce and offeredhersympathy and services.
She brough In DR.. Nj erriam who took six
stitches in the cut and said that the skull
was not injured. The mishap might have

night, Della raised up In her couch and

it,"
