BUILT WITHOUT COST.
Olympia, Ore, Probably Has tho
Cheapest Railroad in the World
All Did the Work.

Probably the cheapest railroad in the
world was built in Oregon in 1872. Dur
ing the preceding year the Northern Pa
cific company surveyed its line between
Portland and Olympia, terminating at
the latter place, but only for a short
time; then it was moved away to Ia
coma, 35 miles further north.
AT that the people of Olympia arose
in Indignation, called a meeting, and,
after vigorously discussing ways and
means, resolved that, although the rail-
road had been both given and taken
away, they were not bound to submit as
unto the Lord, but would build one for
themselves, and build it with voluntary
subscriptions of labor and material.
One bright morning in April the
Olympia brass band halted at the cor
ner of Maine and Fourth streets, Charlie
Changers bay mule Betty fell in be.
hind, then came the officials of both city
and county, led by the governor and
followed by the citizens until the whole
procession was half mile in length.
They marched to high bluff above the
capitol building, and there the mayor of
the city and the governor both made
speeches, and a prayer was offered.
The first sod was turned and the grad
ing of the road began in earnest. One
day in every week was set apart as field
day, when the city and county officials
came out as at first, the merchants
closed their stores, and mechanics shut
their shops, and young men and old
men, boys and Indians, piled the spade
with hearty will, while the women
spread the tables with all things need
ed for midday feast.
Week after week the work went on,
and the road stretched out past the
timber skirting the upper end of Puget
Sound, past the falls of Tumwater, be-
tween the Indian mounds of Mound
Prairie, through half mile of timber
to Bush Prairie, more timber, more pri-
RE, across wide and shallow Scatter
creek-16 miles to Tenino.
Then the ties were made and laid, and
not one dollar had yet been asked for.
But the time had come to buy the roll.
ing stock, and subscriptions came pour
ing in till everything was bought and
ready.
What day it was in the history of
Olympia when the first train was
started over the hard-earned little rail-
road! Open cars were hung with ever
greens, and again the people all came
out with music and rejoicing, this time
to ride and not to work.
Many of the old soldiers who labored
faithfully to build that little road,
among them Gen. Milroy, who was
known all through the civil war as Gray
Eagle, have crossed the silent river, but
the road they built is still in use, the
old settlers point to it with pride, the
road the hardy pioneers made with
their own hands, the cheapest railroad
in the world.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A BALLADE OF BLUE JACKETS.

The Don had his will with the Maine"
He set off his mine with roar
He Quaffed to our dead his champagne
And laughed till his sides they were sore
And now he must settle his score,
And pay for his sport, as is right,
Our navy is brave, as of yore,
And Yankee blue jackets can fight.
Perhaps we are not in the VEIN
We pigs, as he's called us before
To laugh at our sailor-boys slain,
And SO his brave joke we deplore
And flashing bolt from the shore
And sinking a ship in the night
Was murder our ue-jackets swore-
And Yankee blue-Jackets can fight.
Our guns at Manila spoke plain.
And sharp was the message they bore,
AS swift through the squadron of Spain
Our death-dealing hurricane tore;
AS, riddled and rent to the core,
Each cruiser plunged down out of sight,
"One more for our sailors! one more!"
And Yankee blue Jackets can fight.
ENVOY.
Alfonso, just add to your store
OF learning, this sentiment trite,
Remember the war isn't DER,
And Yankee blue-jackets can fight.

THE ILLS OF WOMEN

Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. SOC Findley St.,

"For a long time 1 suffered with
chronic Inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing down

SO weak 1 was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhea. After doc

physicians, and getting relief, had
given up all hope of being well
again when I read of the great good
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com

ately to give it trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four

GOT A COMMISSION.
Short Story of a New York Surgeon
That Fifty Illustrates the Tenn
per of the National Guard.

One enthusiastic guardsman in this
state. was holding a commission as
surgeon before the troops were or
dered to camp. 1t was discovered when
his command was ordered out that a
surgeon was not called for, and conse-
quently he couldn't go as a commits
stoned officer. He didn't hesitate, but
promptly enlisted as a private. His
company went into camp and the ply
stefan pitched in and did duty as pri-
vate without any vain regrets for the
commission that he once held.
In this camp it was discovered that
an assistant surgeon was needed for one
of the regiments. Thus far whenever
man of any profession or trade has
been wanted the commanding officers
have found him serving in some ca
pacity in the guard. So several Off
GERS started out to see if physician
could be found to act as assistant sur
geon of their regiment. AS they walked
down the company streets one of them
stopped, and pointing to man in the
uniform of private, who was digging
a trench around his tent, said:
''Well, this is funny! There is Dr.
So-and-So dressed up as private. Hell
10! Doctor, what are you doing here ?"
Digging" was the laconic response.
But you are masquerading as pri-
vate."
mo masquerade about it" said the
physician; 81 am private. couldn't
come any other way and enlisted as
private two weeks ago. Now I'm
here"
The physician then explained how
he had lost his opportunity of being
mustered in as commissioned officer
and why he had enlisted. There was
no question as to his ability, and COM
mission as assistant surgeon was
promptly offered to him and accepted.
He is now commissioned officer and
a credit to his regiment.
"That," said the officer who tells the
story, sis fair sample of the temper
of the guardsmen who have volun-
teered."-N. Y. Sun.
