C. N. d ST. p. Railway.

The memory Of pleasant ride over q
railway system fades only when one
ceases to travel and take pleasure in
the comforts provided for his enjoy
ment. The memory of a trip over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
is one which fingers long with trav.
eler after his trip is over.
We know of no road in all the West
with better service, with more obligins
officials and with better dining ant
sleeping accomodations than the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road
Parties going East from Omaha should
not miss a ride over it.

What Makes the Man.

A truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind;
A helper Of the human race,
A soul Of beauty and of grace.
A spirit firm. erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee.
That viii not bear feathers weight
OF elavery's chain. for small or great,
That truly speaks Of God within,
And never makes league with sin.
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for Its own sake.
That trembles at no tyrant's nod,
A soul that fears no one but God,
And calmly smiles at curse and ban
That is the soul that makes the man.

The President Has Not the Right TO EN-
ploy Extra Help.
The president Of the United States has
discovered that he has not the right to
employ extra clerk hire in his office.
The number of clerks provided by law
is inadequate, and the result is that the
staff find it necessary TO be ut their
desks night and day. They are now
nearly worn out.
The president Of bank or the mana
ger of a store or manufacturing estab-

as may be necessary to carry ON the al

Not so with the president of the
United States. He has no latitude.
There is u small contingent fund to be
expended under the direction of the pres
ident, but the law says it shall not be
used for clerk hire.

A NEW OCELOT.
6 Pretty but Wicked Little Kitten From
tha Wilds Of Mcxlco.


The latest addition TO tho Central
park zoe, New York, is an occlot, some
times called tiger cat, rare animal in
captivity, fOund in the wooded parts of
tropical America.
This one, little fellow not quite 8
months old, came from Minatitan, or
La Fabrica, small town in the ex-
IRENE south of Mexico, where it was
found by hunter named Vicente Gu
tierrez, who gave it to Mr.. Herman
Kluge of Now York, who in turn pre-
sented il to the ZOO.
Since the animal was given to Mr..
Kluge, on Feb. Is, it has grown TO be
about the size of house cat, but if it
lives it viii grow much larger. 1t is
gray, spotted with fawn colored patch
os Some of the spots are trimmed with
black.
The Mexican hunter found the kitten
with it's mother lying in a patch OF
woods near Minatitan. AS he came upon
them the mother sprang at him, but he
shot her as she sprang. He picked III
the baby ocelot and carried it into tho
village, where he gave it to Mr.. Kluge
AT that time it was not much larger
than kitten and resembled kitten
greatly, except for it's paws, which were
unusually large. It's claws have grown
to be nearly an inch long, and they arr
as sharp as needles. 1t is becoming les
playful and now displays its claws on
ly in angry moods. New York Sun.
