STORY OF A RAILROAD.
unpromising beginning of the Big
Lake Shore System.
From the New York World.

Lake Shore System.
From the New York World.
The consolidation of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad with the
New York Central will close the separate
existence of one of the most interesting
roads in the country.
The first railroads in England and the
United States were opened in the same
year. 1t is creditable to the courage ard
enterprise of the West that the earliest
links of the Lake Shore was projected in
1885, and that one of them, the Erie and
Kalamazoo, was begun in that year, and
finished and operated in 1887.
The rails used were long joists Of wood
and iron straps spiked to them. once in
while one of these straps would work
loose at one end and thrust itself up
through the floor of the car, in an inouiring
sort of way. These phenomena were
known as snake heads" also by other
endearing names. OF course when a
snake head came through the floor the
train stopped, as the motive power was
slight
There is in the Lake Shore office in
Cleveland a picture of the first train ever
run over the Erie and Kalamazoo It had
a tiny locomotive without a cab combined
baggage, freight and fuel car as big as a
coal fiat of to-day, and one passenger
coach seating apparently about twenty
people. This car had Gothic windows and
doors like church, and pitched roof of
considerable hight sloping to front and
back.
Stockholders in those days had the right
to use the tracks with their wagons. get
ting wheels that would fit the rails, just as
wagons now jump upon street railway
tracks The wagons weren't in the way,
for trains were slow and infrequent. Once
Fred Avery made thirty-three miles in
three hours on the Erie and Kalamazoo.
Although this was in 1919, when the sys.
tenn was not exactly new, Superintendent
Bradbury called Avery into his office and
told him that if he were ever again guilty
of such recklessness he would be dis
charged.
OF course, train crew was not very
large in the early days in the West The
engineer collected the fares and the fire.
man handled baggage and freight-all
trains carrying both--loaded wood for the
engine and dipped water for the boiler
from some convenient ditch with a pail.
The Michigan Southern was the furthest
west of the little neghborhood lines form
ing the Lake Shore. For years il had its
western terminus at New Buffalo, on Lake
Michigan, no one having much faith in
Chicago except its residents. Not until
1S49 was the change to Chicago made.
In the course of time dozen of the lit
tie roads were consolidated, though this
was not until after the civil war, and thus
became the Lake Shore System. 1t fell
under Vanderbilts control in 1873, and has
practically been run in harmony with the
Central ever since.

In old Madrid.

One day the late King of Spain, when
driving through the streets of Madrid.
CHANGED to see Frascuelo. says an ex-
change. He at once stopped his carriage.
and. addressing the famous bull fighter,
said:
1.-THE Queen is organizing charity ba-
Ear for the poor, and she would like to
have some memento of one of your fam
GUS exploits to sell for their benefit"
''Ten her Majesty" replied Frascuelo,
that l shall give the memento. and l
shall seek to make IT worthy the lady who
deigns to ask for 1t.
Next morning the King was informed
that all the walls of Madrid We're pla-
carded with the announcement of mag
nifcent bull fight Frascuelo was giving in
aid of the Queens bazar. At the fight
he killed six bulls in his best style, and
the proceeds that were handed over TO
the Queens charity amounted to over
$4,000.

To Cure Nervous Dyspepsia.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep We'll, to Know What Appetite, and Good Digestion Mean Make q Test of Stu3ft's $ DySpepsie Tablets.
T1E EXISTING EXPERIENCE OF AN INDIANAPOLIS
 GENTLEMAN

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame. are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring rem edies, the real seat of mischief is lost sight Of. the stomach is the origin to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever Tn the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomGche weak ness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ, in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in othes, the kidneys are affected, in others the bowls are constipatated, with headaches, still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with the aecum- ulation of gas. sour risings and heartburn.
 Mir 4. W. Sharper of No. 61 Pros pect St. Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure grat- itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valu able medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. ] have been sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years have used various patent medicines and other remedies with out any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. l attributed this to my sedeu- tery habits, being bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but am glad To state that the tablets have overcome oil these obstacles for 1 have gained In flesh, sleep bet ter, and am better in every way. The above is written not for notor- iety but ls based on actual faets.0
 Respectfully yours,
 1, W. Sharper, 6l Prospect street Indianapolis. Ind.
 It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsla Tablets will euro any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of the stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas. loss of flesh and appe- ttte, sleeplessness, palpitati0n, heartburn, ,sconstipation and head aches.
