Some people mought maybe think

eral repairs at little railroad town
in the piney wood belt of East Texas.
The people around town didn't have
anything in partielar to do but go down
to the depot and see the cars, and come
back by the post Office and wait for
the mail. One day a covered wagon
rolled up in front of the post Office load
ed with a family of people. There was
likewise three dogs and one tar bucket
under the wagon. The man crawled
out and walked in and said he would
love TO see the postmaster. which il

him 10 find v hat he was leolin for
"Me and my folks we live down here
in the sawmill deestrict, and we arc now
goin up yonder in the Turkey Creel;

his folks" says the man which had driy
up in the covered wagon. THE old
folks back in the states they writ Us
letter nigh about three year ago, and
reckon as how we ought to drop them
a few lines 10 let EN- know how we are

the postmaster.

TRAyEIlN A TUBE.
Londoners Think They Have the Best
Rapid Transit System.

Rapid Transit system.
The failure Of the effort to furnish
New York with an acceptable plan OF
rapid transit has drawn renewed atten-
ton to the suitability for that purpose
of the Greathead system, now operating
in London. This consists of circular
car which travels within a tube, run
ming 60 feet underground. 1t has been
running so successfully for four years
that another line on the same principle
is being constructed. The ears can be
made as light as day, the motion is
smooth, and the supply of pure, fresh
air is perfect. Accidents are made I'M
possible by automatic appliances. The
passengers are carried up and down to
the stations by electric elevators. Since
the system has been in operation there
have been no accidents, and no serious
stoppages of trains.
This system interferes with all other
kinds of traffic less than any other, and
is infinitely less costly when compared
with the accommodation afforded and
the difficulties overcome. Its construe-
ton can be carried on without the
slightest surface disturbance, as 1t IS
clear of water, gas. electricity and sew
erage service, subcellars and founda-
tions of buildings, and whatever 1t re-
moves is replaced by something OF
greater tensile and bearing strength
1t has the advantage of disturbing no
existing rights; it has neither rights oil
way nor damage compensations to pay
for, 1t has proved success both from
q financial and engineering point OIL
view, and Londoners are convinced that
they have the simplest AID best system
of rapid transit in the world.--lftts'
