Max Pemberton's "Kronstadt" is a

AN OLD TALE RETRIMMED.

At sweet sixteen the maiden fair,
With many lovers busy,
Will lift her nose up in the air
And ask with quite a naughty stare,
Who is he? Oh, who is he?"
At twenty-five she's more subdued-
With sweethearts not so busy
Still doubtful men must not irtrude-
She asks-with no wish TO be rude
What Is he? Oh, what is he?"
But at the age OF thirty-five.
With hope deferred quite dizzy.
She works on quite different plan
And eries-when hearing Of man
Where is he! Oh, where is he?"

Captain William Dunovant, president
OF the Cane Belt railway, has just COM
pleted the construction OF four miles OF
private railroad, standard guage, on which
will be operated heavy engines and cars.
This road extends from his sugar plan
tation near Eagle Lake to junction with
the Cane Belt near Lakeside. This road
will be used to transport cane from the
Dunovant plantation to the Cane Belt,
thence on the Cane Belt to the connec-
.tion with the Southern Pacific. and GA
the Southern Pacific to Harlem, where
the mills are located. 1t is the first move
in the direction OF cane culture ON an ex-
tensive plan. 1t gives transportation from
the plantation to the mills. other p'anta-
tons in this part of the State being pro-
vided with mills adjacent 10 the growing
cane. Captain Dunovant proposes to con-
fine his work on the plantation to cane
culture and to then transport 1t to mill
elsewhere.
The Cane Belt has been completed to
Bonus. and track laying will commence
south Of Bonus next week Trains are
now operated between Bonus and Eagle
Lake. Material is being put on the ground
for the construction of the road as now
surveyed.

Washington County People Want {
Short Line.

Washington County People Want n
Short Line.
Mention was made in The Post few
days ago that Messrs. NJ. F. Wyatt OF
William Penn and Ed C. Hughes OF Whit
man, Washington county towns, were en-
deavoring to build short line road
through the county to give the towns
mentioned transportation facilities Mr..
Wyatt was in the city yesterday and states
that he is receiving a great deal of en-
enlargement on the proposition. He has
letters from people who are considering
propositions which have been made by the
residents of that part of the State and it
is very probable that the short line will
be built. Mr.. Wyatt states that the farm
ers and merchants OF the section which
will be traversed by the road are prepared
to give bonus of cash and right of way
privilege the cash being donation for the
road, none OF those contributing desiring
to become stockholders. He states that
every ENCOURAGEMENT has been met with
and that within a short time he will be
able to state finally whether the line will
be constructed, and when work will COM
mence.
The Washington county people are pro-
gressive. They have organized two private
telephone companies for business puf-
poses, neither company being expected to
realize dividends. the object being simply
to give towns located In various parts OF
the county an opportunity to talk to Bren-
ham and to the markets OF the State
These telephone companies are operated in
connection with the Southwestern Tela-
graph and Telephone company.
