AN INTERRUPTED HONEYMOON

Hc "Kesps His Eye Pesled'' Even to
This Day.
Even now the old lawyer gnashes his
teeth and says things under his breath
when he thinks of it, says the Detroit
Free Press. e.~
II followed my fathers advice and
went west," he tells. Il haven't the
least doubt in the world that the old
gentleman got his idea from Horace
Greeley. I set up my Office in a new
town, where the crack of a revolver
attracted no more attention than a fire
alarm in big city, and had a hand in
almost every case that was tried. But
I declined to fall into the ways of the
community. I denounced lynching as
worse than barbarism, sailed into the
authorities as being parties to this
class of crimes and even defed public
sentiment to the extent of defending
horse thieves. I received a good many
threatening letters, but stood by my
guns. During this exciting. experience
I fell in love with the lovliest girl on
the whole bounding west, and we were
married. Then my enemies began the
work of flendish revenge.
I'VE were actually at the depot and
about to start on long wedding tour
through the east when I was summon
ed as witness in an important mining
suit, about which I knew nothing. In
vain I urged this fact, pleaded, de-
nounced and threatened. The officer,
who had evidently been coached, de-
clared me a witness trying to escape
the jurisdiction of the court and very
promptly ciapped me in Jail. The next
day I was fined $100 for contempt of
court and thirty days in jail were add
ed because I talked back. That was
my honeymoon, and I was the maddest
man within the pale of civilization.
Once free I took the flyer for Detroit,
and the letter I wrote that judge fairly
scorched the envelope. He tried to ex-
tradite me, but failed, and then he sent
me a challenge. That failed, too, but
L have his assurance, written thirty
years ago that he would shoot on sight.
Do you know I keep my eyes peeled
while on the streets, even to this day."

RAILWAY MILEAGE.

The total length of railroad in ths
world amounted in 1897 to 454,73O
miles, and in the five years from 1893
to 1897 the total increase was 34,485
miles, or 8.9 per cent. The same year
the total length of railroad in the
United States was 1928 miles, an in
crease in five years of 3.6 per cent.
North and South America and the
West India islands are credited with
over one-half of the total mileage, or
236,218 miles.

Next to the United States among the
great nations is the German empire,
with total of 29,S8O miles, and then
follows France, with 25,673 miles, Rus
STA with 25,O03 miles, although, if we
include the transcaspian district of
Russia and Siberia, Russia would come
third with total of 2S,3O2 miles. Fol-
lowing France and Russia are Great
Britain and Ireland, 1890 miles; Brit
ish India, 21,000 miles; Austria-Hun-
gary, 20,908 miles; British North
America, 1854 miles; Italy, 9,714
mi!es, and the Argentine Republic,
1922 miles. Belgium has the largest
amount of railroad in comparison with
its total area, the amount being 322
miles for each square mile of area.
In comparing the countries by the
length of railroad compared with the
amount of population that they serve,
We find that the colony of South Aus
tralia stands first with 52.3 miles for
each 10000 people, this result, of
course, being due to the comparative

United States there are 26 miles to each
10000 inhabitants.
In the more densely populated dis
tricts of Europe the figures fall con-
siderably, Germany having So miles
for each 10000 people. The small in
crease of SO per cent in the total mile
age for the United States is due to the
fact that the years 1893 and 1897 were
among the least active in railroad con-
struction in the history of the country,
the previous decade having been one
of extraordinary increase, over $4,000
miles, or more than half the present
total length of railroads in Great Brit
ain, having been built in a single year,
