RAILROAD NEWS.
How Work is Progressing on the x. G.
P. &C. Railway.

Our people are deeply interested
in the building Of the through line
from Kansas City to Sabine Pass,
via this city-the X. G. ?. & G.
Ry.
We CLEAN the following ncwsy
notes, as to the progress OF the
work, both north and South, from
Texarkana.
From the north end, grading is
complete to Poteau, on the Frisco,
thirty miles south of Fort Smith,
and hundreds of men and teams are
at work coming this way. Track
laying has been completed to the
Arkansas river opposite, and about
fifteen miles west of Fort Smith,
to the Mo. p. crossing, and work on
the bridge over the river is going
on.
On the south end, toward Shreve-
port, thirty miles of steel has been
laid, and continues going south
ward. Most of the grading between
Texarkana and Shreveport has been
completed, but as there are many
miles Of trestling to be put in, it
will require some time to get
through to Sport"
We get it from the best authori-
ty that the grading and track lay
ing through the mountains between
Horatio and Poteau, |. T., will all
be completed within the next year,
much heavy work is to be done be-
tween these points.
BY November 1896, Texarkana
will have new outlet both north
and south, which will give her adj
vautages she never had before.

Twas only q rush by the Ganges' low brinls
And one OF legion that modestly waved
Near by where tho antelope came oft to drink

Twas only rush. but its broad leaf was

And twas plucsed by O pilgrim with heart
full OF praise,
For 1t made for his .head most excellent
Ecreen
AS he toiled his slow way In the suns fear-
full blaze.
More beautiful far TO tho pilgrim It seemed
Then the splendidest flower in Arabia's
land;
More precious than Jewels by him it was
deemed,
For it saved him from Death in tho deserts
There's many o rush in the river OF life,
Like that OF the Gonge3, humble ond
plain,
wo=th millions Of flowers when trouble is
rife.
When in the souls desert. or rnclsed by

Care well for these rushcsl Their beauty will

When that of mere howcrs has faded away:
All beauty OF form must surely decline,
While beauty OF soul will last ever and aye

STORMY DAYS.
Some Suggestions to Bodily Comfort An d
Fcnjoymenc.

Some Suggestions as to Bodily Comfort All b
Enjoyment.
However philosophical we may be as
to the duty of going out in all sorts OF
weather, there certainly come day S
when, in our climate at least it is
much pleasanter to remain at home.
The rain descends in heavy showers.
or the binding snow thickens the air
The wind whistles through the trees
and announces itself through open fire
places
Then, comparatively safe from inter-
undertaking some waiting piece of
sewing or in beginning a book whose
reading has been indefinitely post
poned.
The sense Of leisure seems to quicken
the faculties. It is really wonderful
to find how much it is possible to ac-
complish on a delightful stormy day.
The enjoyment of the weather is en-
HANGED by the consciousness that one
need not go out in it. There is even a
selfish pleasure in watching other peo-
pie pass the house, and in feeling that
it is unnecessary to share their experi-
ences.
Yet it may be that these, who are
either drawer or stouter, are extracting
satisfaction from the storm no less
than the stay-at-home.
There is a sort of triumphant feeling
to be known in battling with the ele-
ments as we'll as in facing the other
difficulties of life.
For those who go out in stormy
weather, either from preference or
necessity, it is most important to be at
tired suitably for the occasion.
The storm dress now adopted by
some women, which is made of stout
waterproof material and reaches only
to the top of the boots, would seem to
be a protection AGAINST fal<inr cold
There are times when the artistic
sense needs to bend before stern util.
ity, and real stormy day is one Of
these times -Harper's Bazaar.

why He Was Elected.

A member of the Ohio legislature Of
some years ago had been elected from
a district which had always sent a rep
resentative of different political COM
p1exion, and it happened that he was
given to bibulosity. He did we'll for a
week or SO. but then the temptations
of a great city like Columbus were too
much for him, and he began to drink.
He kept it up for whole week, and
for that long he never appeared about
the capitol. Then his friends looked
him up.
"By George, old man." said one of
them, you'll have to quit this, and get
down to business"
''Oh, guess not" he replied care
lessly.
You're bound to or your constitu-
ents won't stand it. They sent you
here to do something for them and
they expect you to do it,
mo, they didn't he insisted.
This was poser.
"They didn't?'' exclaimed the spokes-
man. What did they send you for
then?'

send me to keep the other fellow from
coming" -Detroit Free Press
