Tell you how we KNOW
Along about 1894 or 1895 ''The Path.
finder" or somebody sent THE OUT
LOOK an Ohio newspaper containing
a marked long article about the
Black Diamond. So far as we had
-seen. no paper in Kentucky had men,
toned the scheme. AS 0wingsville
was on the main proposed line THE
OUTLOOK reprinted the article. IL
made some talk among the readers
OF THE OUrLooK. Hope has n fool
way of springing eternal in the hu-
man breast. However, there was
nothing to do but Jest laugh when
the map showed that the route for a
long way I'm Kentucky would be
about half tunnels and the rest very
high trestles. The route was not
practicable for low-flying birds. Then
we knew 1.-The Pathfinder" was a
high-flying bird evidently not wild
goose; rather, a chicken hawk, that
seeks his prey among the tame geese
a blue henhawk, that scars and scars,
and make others sore too sometimes
When a considerable while after
ward the Kentucky papers along a
line to the westward of the original
one began to teen with Black pia-

better purpose. But when it appeared
that the whole Bluegrass was to be
gridironed with Black Diamond rail
road tracks we felt alarm, for Il
would render almost useless the fin
est body Of land in the world and
leave only little garden plots between
the network Of tracks.
But for all our study Of the Blacl

Why make Columbus, Ohio, a ter

or Oshkosh, Wisconsin, or Skowhe-

or Podunk, Massachusetts,, or Yubs
Dam, California? 1t is true the Ohi'
legislature meets at Columbus, bu
other States have similar crimes a
their capitals, so that is ne novel at
traction.
