 There are eighty-ffve curves, one
 of them 45 degrees and thirty-four of | them 40 degrees on this road" the voice continued, "and they are nearly
 all on 3 per cent grades. It's the crookedest railroad in Ameriky.' The speaker seemed to get consider

 ment and repeated it several times. The reporter did not offer any dissen.
 ing opinion, for there was no room for argument This road from the Santa Fe system up to Jerome, where
 W. A. Clarke's great Verde con9ac mine is situated, is indeed a marvel in it's construction and the difficulties t Cvercomes.
 Leaving the junction Cn the plain. it runs direct on comparatively level ground to the hills. It apparently runs against 9 mountain and ends at the foot, but does not, for when the foot of the hill is re2ched the tack dodges in st the mouth of a marrow gulch and commences it's climb to the summit. on the other side of which lies Jerome.
 Tn building this road no attempt vas made to follow other than the grades provided by nature. The bed of the' railroad is c'lt cut of the side hill Just enough dirt is cut away to fill out the @7o r.. not a single cut on the entire line ex- ceDt on the very suu init where rocky ledge is parted to allow of the passage of the track.
 The engine, which is built for noun tain climbing, only takes nine cars in it's wake, some of these being empty and all of them freight except the rear car, which is q short co0 hination pas senger and baggage coach. The train crew has little time for lOafiCg, for the brakes must be closely guarded. The conductor evidently looks upon pas sengers as unnecessary freight and ticket-taking as a bore, for his work is that Of handling a heavy freight train upon steep grades and that is net conducive to sociablity or good n4- tuTe.
 The Dufing of the engine and the jGlting strain on the cars tells the story of the beginning cf the climb, up the hill. The train hugs the hill down below the ridges and creeps up a gulcn but to turn around at the head and come down on the opposite side but Q few hundred feet from the track gained a few minutes before at the cost of so much labor 4~a

IDA'S VALENTINES.
By N. Louise Ford.

"Tomorrow's Valentines Day, NAM
ma, and oh, you ought to see the big
box teachers got on her desk for US
to put our valentines in! Can I make
some more tonight? l know how to
make lovely ones!" and an eager little
face looked up into Mrs. Lanes.
Mamma stopped down and planted a
kiss on the rosy cheek, saying:
Eyes, indeed, dear, as many as you
please. But to whom are you going to
send them all? Isn't you list about
full? Have you remembered Rather
inc and Annie as well as the others?"
Eyes, mamma, and I'm going to
make one for Alec Boles; he isn't very
bright, you know, and the boys make
fun of him. I thought he'd like one.
I don't believe he'll have any; and
Kitty WEIGH has to stay at home now,
cause her brothers got the measles,
and so l thought I'd send her one.
too" replied Ida earnestly.
Il am very glad you thought of
them" said her mamma. "and here

Valentine to Cupid.
All, little boy Cupid, know you we'll;
But you're not as the poets say:
You have no arrows, that I have seen,
Though you captured my heart, one
day.
You wear more clothes than the pic
tured Love,
And to call you blind we're a sin:
But know you are Cupid, for no one
Such a number of hearts could win.
For they all succumb to your winning
wiles,
The lassies, the maids, and the
danes;
Though instead of Cupid" they call
you pet"
And Honey" and all such names.
So send you valentine, Boy, today,
To say you may keep my heart.
For it must be yours forever and aye,
Though felt not the feathered dart.
The Globe-republican., 1899-02-09

ter up to the very time the bell rang,
and Miss Walker kindly allowed the
wonderful box to be opened before les
sons were begun.
Time after time Ida's name was
called, until her desk was quite COW
cred with big valentines and little
ones. home made and store bought,
some rather the worse for handling,
and some fresh and clean in their
white envelopes.
Seventeen" she counted in sur
prise, when the last one was distri-
buted, and the proud and happy little
maiden looked around to see who had
Jared any better.
How many did you get?"
"And you?"
'Oh, isn't that lovely one!"
Il got most as many as you," were
the words heard on all sides, and the
excitement had scarcely begun to sub
side when Miss Walker struck the bell
once more, and every valentine was
put away till recess time.
Only one little girl there was who
had not single valentine; she was a
new scholar, thin, sad-looking child,
with big brown eyes. Her dress was
old and faded, and the first day she
came to school, one little girl had
whispered to another:
"Josie Deans father drinks, guess,
cause saw her with him last week,
and he couldn't walk straight"
That was. indeed, the sad secret of
Josie's home, and now, when all the
others were happy with their valen-
tines. she was looking out of the win
dow, winking hard to keep back the
tears.
Not one valentine, did I say? Oh.
yes, there was one Of those dreadful
ones children sometimes call comic"
with a coarse picture of a drunken
man. with a bottle in his hand upon it.
Some thoughtless boy had put that in
the box for Josie Dean, and in delight
she had responded to her name.
But when she saw the cruel joke her
little face grew pale and frightened.
and she hid the dreadful thing in her
pocket before any one could see it.
At recess time Ida was here and
there. showing her treasures and adj
miring others, and suddenly came up
on Josie Dean, who was trying very
bravely not to be disappointed, but
wiped away a tear as Ida came to the
window where she was standing.
In q minute Ida had guessed the
trouble, though she knew nothing
about the secret hidden depths Of the
faded pocket. She saw that Josie's
hands were empty.
"Oh. JOSIE" she said softly, didn't
you get any? I'm SO sorry. Here I've
got lots of them, more than need,
and want you to pick out the very
prettiest one," and she drew her away
into the dressing room. and spread her
valentines out.
There, now you take Just the one
you want most"
Josie's face frightened. but she was
too shy to accept the kind offer, until
Ida insisted upon it.
Yes. you must; you see you've been
here such q little while that the girls
don't know you much. Next year
you'll have plenty. You see they all
know me cause I've been here %
long" she said comfortingly.
There was one representing two
little girls busily and happily at work

you've surely not forgotten
That it's St. Valentines Day?
You used, when you were counting,
: To sentimental grow,
And send me at this season
Some gift quite apropos.
If blue by chance my ball gown,
A bex would come from you
Forget-me-nots containing,
And a valentine in blue.
II sweet you said my lips were,
Like gold my curling locks,
You sent a golden Jewel
And sweets in costly box
But sentiment by wedlock
Is dulled-or soon or late;
No valentine finds Cupid
For wives appropriate"
As day wore on. forgotten
These words Of sad regret,
The door bell rang. I answered

And roses all enlaced!

saying that it was probable that he,
would not arrive from Richmond,
where he went on business In time to
appear in the case. For this reason,
it may be postponed until tomorrow.
The defense's answer to Mr.. Swann's
petition is n general denial to all of
his allegations. II claims that section
GA of the Code of Virginia provides
for protection of land owners in just
such cases as this, In providing that
the owner of delinquent property may
redeem it before any further sale or
conveyance; and it is maintained
further, that there had been no
further sale OF conveyance of this par
ticular property, inasmuoh as the
claimant. under the land grabbers' act,
had not rendered the taxes, which was
necessary precedent to his securing
Il title thereto Tho owners counsel
claims that n law contrary to these
principles would be unconstitutional
Another point, upon which the de-
Tense relics to a great extent. is that
the "land-sra bbers'' never served any
notice, especially legal notice. upon
the owner of the property. This notice
they claim to have served was upon
Mrs. Alice Scott in whose name the
property appears on the DELINQUENT
tax book. The defense raises the
point that Mrs. Scott has n living
husband, Josephus Scott, and that no
papers were ever served or attempted
to be served upon him.
The answer raises several other
points. and the argument will likely
be interesting.
