When We think of all the beauty
which human eyes seldom behold, but
see only often enough to know of it's
existence, we gain a new thought. Many
a brilliant sunset occurs in the far
oceans where no ships sail. Many a
wonderfully colored flower blooms in
the jungle where no human foot has
penetrated. Many striking effect of
light and shade, or tender glow of
semi-twilight, or strange picturesque
formation of mist and Cloud, occurs
in the remote arctic regions, if what
returned explorers tell us is true There
are many forms of beauty here upon
our earth of which we, it's inhabitants,
are almost unaware and which only
God sees.

Detailed figures Of the railroad con-
struction work done in the United
States during the first half of 1897, COL
lected by the Railroad Gazette, show
that there has been added during that
period to the country's existing mile
age some 1902 miles of new road.
The inference drawn from these figures
in connection with other work of the
same character now in progress or
contemplated is that the railroad
building for the year will be equal to
if not greater than that of any of the
last three years. The same paper
says: IF this proportion is held for
the coming six months the mileage for
the year will be about 2,1S5 miles, and
this will be larger by some u miles
than that of last year and will exceed
that of any year since 1894. But ex-
perience has shown that, as rule,
more railroad is built in the second
half of the year than in the first SO
that it is not unreasonable to suppose
that the summary for 1893 will saow
>ore than 1900 miles built"

The dedication of monument to
Francis Scott Key in his native city
was chiefly tribute to the man who
wrote The Star-Spangled Banner
The memorial likewise honors one
who wrote to his friend, John Ran
dolph of Roanoke: Il agree with you
that the state Of society is radically
vicious and that it is there the rem
edy is to be applied. Put down party
spirit; stop the corruptions of party
elections; legislate not for the next
election. but for the next century"
Few statesmen are poets, and perhaps
it is we'll that se-writing lawmak-
ers are in the large majority Key,
however showed a spirit worthy Of
high craftsmanship when he wrote the
sentences quoted, which are almost
sufficient to entitle him to be called an
early reformer of the republic.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1898-09-29

A moral man picks out moral laws
for his guidance through life and never
deviates from his prescribed
course. Many people carry a veneer
Of morality so far as general external
appearance and regular church attend
ance are concerned, but they lack the
stability of character and principles
OF the real moral man.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1898-09-29

The best characterization made OF
American sailors in this war was that
Of Fighting Bob Evans, when he
said, so long as the enemy showed
his flag they fought like American sea-
men; but when the flag came down,
they were as gentle and tender as
American women" That deserves to
become classic, partly because it is
eloquent, and partly because it is true.

FORMOSAN CITY ABANDONED
Residents of Plague-stricken Teckham
Leave 1t

The japanese government has ordered
the destruction of the city of Teckham,
Formosa, and the removal of its inhabitants
to a new location. The city is situated or
the northwest coast of the island and has
been frequently subjected to pestience In
1896 and 1897 plaques visited Teckham with
enormous fatality. This fact being called
to the attention OF the government, an in
vestigation was ordered by sanitary experts,
who reported that the city was built upon
a swamp; whereupon an order was issued to
the governor to select new location as con-
venient to the old as possible, where the ma
tural conditions were healthful. A new city
was laid out, and each property holder in
the old one was assigned a site that cor
responded in area with that he occupied
at Teckham and was given twelve months
to move his buildings and belongings. Sew
ers railroads and sidewalks, public build
ings, water works and all other public i'm
provements were laid out by the govern
ment in the new city without expense to the
people, but they were required to pay the
cost of the removal of their own property

Teckham are built of very light wooden

Two Remarkable Hoosiers

Calvin Graham, who is dying near Eng
lish, Ind, at the age OF 81, continues to i've
in the round log cabin which his father built
seventy years ago, and he says that the fire
which burns on his hearth is the same which
his father started with flint and steel three
score and ten years ago. Forty years ago
two nephews came from Scotland and tried
to induce Graham to accompany them to
Kansas, but he declined to leave his
fathers fire" as he expressed it, which
has a strange fascination for him. He has
never married, and his only companionship
is his books.
Judge John NJ. Smith, who has just taken
his seat on the bench of the Jay circuit
court in Indiana, has the record of having
risen to that position from being a section
hand on the Panhandle railroad. lie was
born in 1858. In 1870 and 1871 he was en-
ployed as a laborer in a little country saw
mill, and then as a section hand working
at all sorts of manual labor. He then took
up the practice of law, AMI by hard study

land suit. The question of his age came up,
ard he deposed that he was ITO years old.
1t did not surprise any one, for the lawyers
and spectators knew Uncle Isaac Brock S
age. Many of them had seen him when the
annual fish frys took place at the Bosque
Falls, and they knew his wonderful history.
He is held in reverence by the hunters, as
was the old arrow-maker, whose daughter,
Hiawatha, welded.
1t was considered great privilege to sit
with Uncle Isaac on a log and fish for trout,
and when he took the tourist under his pat
ronage the fish always allowed themselves
to be caught. A standing injunction of his
in parting with guest, was Don't tell
the editor that you caught a nine-pound
fish. Trout don't grow that big. If you
say nine pounds, mention that it was cat
fish,
Uncle Isaac Brock may live far into 1900
He is still useful citizen, enjoying life, and
possesses a hopeful heart. He says he hopes
and expects to see his grandchld, aged 2, a
grown man.
