SpIendidly Equipped,

One Of the finest and best equipped

tried this railroad and know whereof we
speak. The road is splendidly equipped
with fast trains; the coaches are all fur

it is pleasure to ride with these people.
They employ but sober and industrious
men, who constantly look after the com.
fort and safety Of the travelling public.
Anyone travelling in the above or adjoin-
ing states should take the Milwaukee
road by all means if it is convenient to
do 30. II You wish information concern

Late Literary News.

That the spy sent by the United States
governm ent to Spain during the war
should have become the guest of Weyler
himself seems incredible, yet there is
nothing more true. The government se-
lected as it's agent man OF position who
has lived much in Germany. 1t was
necessary for US to have a trained intel
lect that would make no mistakes. His
story is told in the November Cosmopoli-
tan. and the most exciting pages of Du-
mas fiction seem tame in comparison
with the facts. Crossing the frontier in
q first-class carriage, he was by trifiing
accident brought into conversation with
q young Spanish nobleman; presently
who should come along but the son of
General Weyler. This acquaintance led
to his receiving many attentions from
Weyler when they reached Madrid, and
the general actually gave up day to a
trip to the Escurial. Imagine this grim
arch enemy of ours laying himself out to
please the secret agent whom the govern
ment had sent to find out the weak places
of Spain. How trifling the demsrkation
between the position Of honored guest
and that of spy who, il discovered,
would have been all the more quickly
sent to his death. The same issue OF the
Cosmopolitan contains four pieces Of fic-
ton by such famous authors as Frank
Stockton. Zangwill, H. g. Wells, and the
lamented Harold Frederick, but none Of
it half go exciting in its interest as this
true story.
