The executive officers of the Western lines
met in Chicago yesterday to hear the report
of the commissioners Of the Western Joint
Traffic Bureau on the plan of reorganizing
that body. The committee recommended
that the name be changed to the Western
Trunk-line Committee; that the territory to
be covered by it be the same as that con-
trolled by the Joint Traffic Bureau; that
this territory be divided into four divisions,
each of which is to be in charge of one
commissioner who shall report to the full
committee before taking any action regard
ing rates, and that the work of issuing
be looked after by the commissioners as a
whole. The report was adopted as submit
ted. Commissioner Parker, who was vice
chairman of the old organization, will be
chairman of the Western Trunk-line Com
mittee. 1t, is not thought that under the
ruling of the Supreme Court the committee
will be able to take any effective action
looking to the maintenance of rates.

ment of the garrison wits, for he wrote day after day to his distant darling in the east. That winter Ned Parry ac- cepted the junior partnership in the great firm of Graeme & Rayburn, in Chicago, and moved thither with his lovely wife, while Fan remained with Aunt and Uncle Mellen in Gotham, pin ing, presumably, for her far-away sol dier boy, and yet writing much less ire quently than he did, for the demands of society were incessant and auntie kept her lon the go."
 One day in April there came letter from the east at sight of which Randy Merriam's face was radiant with joy. It briefly told him that the long itign- ton was over and that some $3,50O, all that was left of the original S6,O00, were at his disposal. Jubilantly. confidently then, he wrote to Fanny to name the day, and in course of time there came a reply, long, self-accusing, penitent, miserable, but all-sufficient- The day was named, and so was the man-Mr. John Harold McLane, of New York, a wealthy widower of 55

BILLS IN TROUBLE.

I've got a letter, parson, from my son
 away out west, An my ole heart is heavy as an anvil
 in my breast To think the boy whose futur' I had
 once so proudly planned Should wander from the path O right
 an come to sich an end. I told him when he left us, only three
 short years ago, He'd find himself a-plOwin' in a
 mighty crooked row. He'd miss his fathers counsels an his
 mothers prayers, too, But he said the farm was hateful, an
 he guessed he'd have to go. I know thar's big temptation for a
 youngster in the west, But I believed our Billy had the cour-
 age to resist, An when he left I warned him O the
 ever waiting snares That lie like hidden sarpents in life's
 pathway everywhere. But Bill he promised faithful to be
 keerful an allowed He'd build a reputation that'd make us
 mighty proud, IL
 O faded from his mind, An now my boys in trouble O the
 very wustest kind. His letters came SO seldom that I
 somehow sort O knowed That Billy was a-trampin' on a mighty
 rock road, But never once imagined he would
 bow my head in shame An in the dust'd waller his ole daddy's
 honOred name. He writes from out in Denver, an the story's mighty short. I just can't tell his mother-it'n crush
 her poor ole heart. An so I reckon, parson, you might
 break the news to her Bills in the legislatur', but he doesn't
 say what fur.

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chantor TIT

"A thing begun is half done." The house was now to rise as monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build a two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build a one-story house, leaving the gables open for a thorough circula- tion of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went of smoothly, the house rapidly assumed shape, the people of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the freside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying continuous social during the house raising.
 On the 18th of December the house was half done. The frame was all up and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what it would look like when finished. And as it assumed it's shape and size the comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height of two stories and extending on the ground for distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of magnificent structure way out on the border of civilization and untamed nature
 The ladies of the community got up a big Christmas tree at the Reddin school house. It was no small affair, as the presents represented great deal of money and bore the names of a great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start tc work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, "Who says that somebody hasn't got an eye on this house?"
 But the events in this story must not be anticipated too much, So this will not be dwelt upon for the present.
 The building of the house continued without any delay being caused by the holidays more than for Christ mas and New Years. When the proper time came door knobs, locks, catches and hinges, window pulleys and other incidentals were put in the house as they should be. The provisions hav- ing run low again a wagon load of groceries and dry goods was hauled out to the ranch from J. Jungermann's bargain store" MT Meyers having induced MT. Cant to build the house two stories instead of one, and MT. Cant having decided to build another room on the porch, there were Sev- eral more loads of lumber taken out from the Blinn Lumber company. The room will be used for a bedroom
