THERE r OTHERS

Is one of he up-to-date slang express
sions. This refers to railroads as well
as other things. There are other rail-
roads, We will admit, but there are no
others having Electric Lighted trains
between the Missouri river and Chi
cago. The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul railway leads in all things. Elec-
trio Lighted, Steam Heated, vestibuled
trains running over a stone ballasted
steel rail track give you a service
equalled by no other line. Through
Sleepers from Denver to Chicago.
Through Tourist Cars from San Fran
cisco to Chicago. We are the short line
between Omaha and Chicago. Why not
get the best at the same price you pay
for an inferior article. Try our line

A 'tenderfoot' is a great thing in our
country, and while none of them are
ever seriously hurt, still some of them
are pretty badly frightened. For in

how, and the same rule applies to the

bullets. and he comes very neal dane

is to put them on a wild horse until
they are bucked off thirty times. They
are then given a broken horse and al
lowed to finish their riding education
whenever they see fit. This fun is

day known TO the thrifty and per.

that title. 1t is the 25th Of March.
According to the ancient seers and
OWNERS, if March rs is clear,
bright day, the apple crop that year
will be good. If the weather is wet
and cloudy the apple. crop will be a
failure. Some OF our old citizens,
who pay attention to these things,
say they never knew this sign to
fail. If il holds good this year we
will have plenty of apples, for the

Beneath each wave of soft gray hair

With every kindly glance and word

With all the love of olden days.
How tired she grew beneath the strain
OF feeling every ones pain.

The promise.of that lard so fair
Alone could tempt her from her child.
And now if could keep her here,
No sacrifice could be too dear,
No tempered winds for her too mild.

And by her side take my old place
And sob my years and cares away.

ANECD0TAL LITERATURE,
Contributed to the Independent
BY W. G..
COOKE PAwNED.

Tue celebrated tragedian, Mr..
Co ke, vas always fond Of frolio
on bis benefit night, declaring that
be never took liberties with his
friends at any other time. 1t once
happened, during an engagement at
Phi 'ad.lrhia, that on such an occa-
sion be was short of money, and at
a loss TO raise the wind for the &C.
customed breeze. In this dilemma,
be started mp town in speculative
mood, determined 10 inspirit him
self in some way or other. Having
reached The corner OF Callowhill and
Eighth streets, he cast his eye to-
wards the Delaware, and perceived
one OF tLose entieiDg signs of three
golden balls. He turned the corner,
and entering the fatal door, address
ed the man behind the counter thus:
"My name is Cooke. This is my
benefit night. The manager can't
do without me, as l am up for Rich
ard III. l want some liquor. l
have no money Now | propose to
hypothicatc my royal person for ten
dollars, and you may lay me up on
one of your shelves" The Joke was
queer one, and the master of cere-
monies paid the ten dollars, and
Cooke was laid up.
The theatre that night was crowd
ed, and at seven O'Clock the mana
ger came forward to apologize, stat
ing that with the permission OF the
audience, the performance would
commence with & farce. He had
sent in different directions, but was
unable to find Mr.. Cooke in the
city. He presumed the tragedian
would be forthcoming ia the course
OF the next halt hour. As the
manager retired, he was informed
that boy wished TO see him in the
green room. lie found the lad, who
presented note, written in ciphers,
which he at length translated thus
"My Dear | am in pawn for
ten dollars send and redeem me, or
1t will be impossible for Richard to
be himself tonight. Yours,
Cooke.
The manager started Immediately
after the fixed star, and found him
nicely shelvsd, with a plate of crack
'ers and cheese, and q bottle of bran.
dy by him. In the button-hole of
his coat was piece of paper mark
ed mo. l413," pawned for ten dol
lars. The amount was paid, a hack
called, and Mr.. Cooke and manager
rallied 10 the theatre, where the
tragedian had Just time TO dress and
commence. "Now is the winter of
our discomfort" etc. 1t is said ho
never played Richard better, or re-
ceived greater applause.
