Sylvester JOhnsOn's InjunctiOns.

Sylvester Johnson, of Irvington, through
his attorney, James Pritchard, has filed
suit in the Circuit Court to restrain the
Board of Trustees of Irvington from build
ing cement sidewalk in front of his resi-
dence property on Central avenue. The
suit is similar to one or two others which
Mr.. Johnson won. securing the temporary
injunction sought but failing to get it made
permanent. The sidewalk is paved up to
Mr.. Johnson's property on both sides, but
Mr. johnson has thus far defeated all Or
dinances with an object to pave the three
hundred feet adjoining his property. The
usual irregularities in the proceedings are
alleged in this suit. 1t is claimed also that
the cement sidewalk would result in injury

ifer "The mortgage company at Omaha
will foreclose the mortgage on the ranch
unless the note is paid. The wheat and
the corn are harvested, and at outside
prices won't meet the note by $500"
There was silence for few minutes,
broken only by the click of Mrs. Jenifer's
knitting-needles.
"What did that nension LAWYER at Wash
ington write in his last letter about the
prospects Of your claim getting through ?p
she asked.
s'Whv, you know what he wrote, Mandy.
He said there were 5000 or 1000 cases

Grandma lives in a funny place,
The town of '.Used-to-Be,'
Where streets are "Eurnpikes" and people are
folks
And nice hot supper "tea."
Where is the town of "Used-to-Be"?
In grandmas memory bright.
The way? Upstairs, to grandma's room
tThe cozy one on the rght).
When can you go there? Twilights best,
For the dreamy glow in the CRATE
Lights the way to the town of ''Used-to-Be,'
And nobody needs to wait.
Then ho for an hour in the dear old town,
And hey, for the husking-bee,
And oh, the dancing in stiff brocade,
And, ah the trysting-tree.

And three of them Sabbath day,
In a "Eneeting-house,' so cold and drear,
Where the foot stove' held its sway.
But if grandma shows you summer scene
In a farmhouse and orchard fair
With rows of cheese on dairy shelves
And bees in the clover-sweet air.
And there beyond, in the kitchen wide,
Grandma herself at the wheel:
Spinning singing, fair young bride.

What dear dear town OF "Used-to-Be"l

And she says, with half sad, half sweet smile

long time he sat there thinking, with his
chin in his hands, looking out over the
prairie. As he gaged he saw a light some
distance away moving rapidly along. He
knew It was the headlight OF a loeomo
tive, for he had often watched them,
miles away, creeping over the level
plain. Soon he could hear the rum
bic OF the cars. and by the absence OF
lighted windows, knew that it was not a
passenger train. When it stopped at the
station the lowing of the cows and some
discordant squeals and grpnts told him it
was a stock train bound for Chicago.
Everyday these long stock trains passed,
and sometimes they stopped while the
cattlemen fed and watered the live cargo.
The, cattlemen always accom- panied the
train, and Aleck had often envied the lot
of the young men who were going to see
the great city.
Then an idea came to Aleck-the posi-
bility of doing something 10 save the
ranch. He soon stole away to his bed,
where he fell asleep thinkingabout it. and
took it up again early next morning when
he went TO feed the stock.
After breakfast he went into the kitchen,
where MS aunt was washing the dishes.
There he told her his plan. growing en-
thusiastic IN the recital. He wanted to
go to Washington and tell the Commis-
sioner of Pensions the story of their
troubles, and ask him to acs upon his
uncle Hiram's claim at once. AS he
talked she, too, became interested, and
her wan face was lighted up for a moment
by hope; but she soon became grave
again.
But, Aleck, we could not spare even
$5 to buy your food on the way, for per-
haps your plan might fail. No. it won't
do said his aunt, shaking her head.
Aleck went out of the kitchen with
heavy heart and walked toward the barn.
When he reached the gate his own l.ttle
pony, Brown Bess, came running to the
bars and affectionately thrust her nose at
him to be stroked. AS he patted the
mares head another idea came to him.
In moment be was in the harness-room,
tuggIng at his saddle on the hook; and
five minutes later he was galloping over
the prairie toward the station. Up the
principal street he rode without drawing
rein until he stopped before the postoffice.
Mr.. Brand, the Postmaster was standing
at the delivery window as Aleck came in,
and seemed surprised TO see him.

this is special case. Aleck would not ask
it, ana 1 would not, sir, ii It ere not to

Here George told the story of Aleck' s
sacrifice of Brown Bess in his efforts to
help his uncle, and of the difficulty he had
experienced in getting to Chicago. II

g "Why, Aleck, there aih't any mail this
time OF day, "he began.
= 81 didn't come for ma H." Aleck replied
Then he continued hastily: "Mr. Brand
you offered me $40 for Brown Bess two
months ago and refused to sell her."
Eyes, that's So"
'Well, I've come to take your offer.''
"Why, what's the matter now, Aleck,
that you are so anxious to sell?"
III need the money" answered Alex,
choking back sob.
Mr.. Brand came out and looked at the
horse. After some further talk the bar
gain was concluded and Aleck started out
of the postoff1ce with four $5 bills. Before
he reached the door, however, he said !:
t'Mr. Brand, is your son George still a
postal clerk on the railway ?"
"Yes, Aleck; his run, as they call it, is
from Chicago to Pittsburg."
AS Aleek left the postoffice he passed by
his pony still hitched to the rack ind
Brown Bess neighed in an inquiring man :
ner as he went down the street as if to say
"Where are you going without me, Aleck ~
But he hurried on without looking back.
Reaching home, however, he slipped in the
back way, and climbing into the loft oi
the barn, lay face down i'll the hay and
cried as if his heart would break as he
thought of the empty stall below him.
Great was the astonishpent OF Mr.. Jen-
ifer that evening when his wife revealed to
him Alexis plan; and when the lad laid
the four IS bills on the table before him
his surprise was complete. Far into the
night they talked it over, for it was a
momentous step in a young boys life.
Finally Mr.. Jenifer settled it. ''I'll let
you go, Aleck; it's to save the ranch, and
may God bless you. boy"
On the evening of the third day after the
sale of Brown Bess, Aleck French was at
Chicagoin the Office of the division super
intendent of the Railway Mail Service.
George Brand, the Postmaster's son, was
with him, and they were anxiously await
ing a reply from the grayhaired, stern
looking official who sat at the desk before
them.
ut is very unusual to permit any one
to ride in the postal car" said the super
intendent. gravely.

A few moments later the boys left the
room with pass in the superintendents
own writing. Aleck had come to Chicago
on stock train in the care CT neighbor
who was bringing a trainload of cattle to
the market, earning his passage by help
ing the men feed and water the cattle on
the train.
When they reached the depot and
climbed into the postal car Aleek was first
introduced to the clerks. Then he made
himself comfortable upon pile Of empty
sacks, while Brand, who was the clerk in
charge Of the registered mail, began his
