A story is going the rounds to the
effect that an American syndicate is
about to purchase the underground
railroad system of London. 1t would be
rather interesting to find American
money going abroad for such invest
ment while so much English capital is
flowing into this country in search of
profitable employment. But it would
not be surprising. Rapid transit in
large cities has been demonstrated to
be rich field for enterprising capital;
but the English people are so slow in
some lines that they may have per-
mitted really fine opportunity to slip
away from them. Americans would
quickly improve the system in ways
that Englishmen would scarcely dream
of, and their profit would be reaped
through the Improvements.

The Washington Post of recent date
contained this rather interesting item:
United States Treasurer Morgan yes
terday received a conscience contribu-
ton of $50 in a draft drawn on the
First National bank of Greenfield,
Mass. The sender says the money was
paid to him in the settlement of his
account as an officer in the Union
army for pay of servant. When it
was paid to me- the letter continues,
I supposed it was right, and that if
an officer did his own work and had no
servant he was entitled to a servants
pay He has since found that this is
not so, and much regrets his ignor-
ance and mistake in the matter"

The disgraceful church row that
occurred in the Christian church at
Troy last Thursday night. says the
Atchison (Kan.) Globe, is said by
an Atchison man who was there to
have been the funniest spectacle he
ever witnessed. The Latter-day Saints
had secured the use of the Christian
church for a period Of two weeks, but
owing to the fact that some of the
Christians kicked on the arrangement,
an effort was made by both to hold
meetings in the building at the same
time. When the Mormon minister as
cended the pulpit, the Christian parson
also assembled it and both claimed they
We're going to preach. The Mormon
preacher gave out hymn, which was
sung. and the Christian minister did
the same. Then when both attempted
to preach at once bedlam broke loose.
Women screeched and yelled. One sis

lister entered the pulpit again, it

a POSTER TRAGEDY.

A purple moment of blue bliss
Was mine, oh. green-haired maid,
When from your lips a yellow kiss
l slipped in the dark-fed shade.
The ecru moon hung on a tree;
We sat by vertical brook;
You were a-laughing in olive-pink glee
And reading the edge of a book.
And l was singing a lavender song,
Speclkled and mingled with blue;
But | stopped for a moment-perhaps not
too long
And kissed you'll took perhaps two.
BY the red hills topped with golden snow,
BY the trees tearing holes in the sky
7 swore the red world / would overthrow
For your love, or lie down and die.
But away from my vowing was rudely
snatched.
And thrust far far from you
The color wore with the landscape
matched,
And that would, alas, never do.
And now among the blue lilies afoat,
On sea of brown and red
I sit on the edge of an olive-green boat
And hold my pea-green head.

Kansas City Star: Mr.. Bryan showed
very good sense in advising his follow
eds to adopt Mark Hanna's flag idea and
hang out the American flag Oct. 81 as an
