A reliable and well known railroad
official said Friday that there was no
money in small excursions, for the rail-
road company, as there was an item Of
expense in every case to cover which
could not be regained from small
crowd. Roads having no extra passen-
ger coaches at their command are oblig-
ed to borrow them. This item alone
costs the users IS per day or fraction
thereof. Then there is the cost of ad-
vertising, printing of tickets and many
other expenses which, in the aggregate,
amount to a great deal.

4 FREE RIDE
IN A BOXCAR
Small POx Patient Was Kept
Where Could Do No Harm.
HE ESCAPED FROM CLEVELAND
And Was Hurried Back There Before He
Could Infect Others Who Had
Not Had the
Disease.

A Cleveland smallpox patient caused
a great deal of trouble and some con-
sternation among the employees of the
G. II. & V. railway. The fellow received
a free ride in a box car, for all his trou-
BILE, and later on was taken back to
Cleveland Just as the south bound G.
II. & V. railway freight train was leav-
ing Cleveland, about dusk, Friday night,
stranger jumped on the train and
made himself at home. After running
some distance out OF the city he was
discovered, and he pleaded sickness and
weakness and was permitted to remain
on the train. One of the employees took
him to the engine, when the engineer
discovered that the fellow really was
sicker than he looked. The stranger
complained of sores breaking out over
his face and body, and when he was eX-
amined by the engineer, 1t was discov-
cred that he had small poX. The run
was made to this city and on through
North Industry, where the fellow was
/ taken from the train and placed in a
| box car. He was locked up in the car
and the train proceeded onward south,
On discharging the freight the engine
was rushed back to North Industry and
| attached to the box car and the patient
was given a hurried ride through to
| Cleveland, and returned to the hospital.
The superintendent of the road was tel
egraDhed to of the condition of affairs
and it was through his orders that the
man was apprehended and returned to
Cleveland and a spread OF the disease
was prevented. Nobody could have been
infected, as the man. while not in the
box car, was in the custody of the en-
gineer, who has had small poX and
could not be infected.

FAVOURABLE" HEART DIS
EASE SOON CURED
BY the Great Specialist in Treating Weak
and Diseased Hearts, Franklin
Miles, NJ. ID. LII. Il.
Who VIII Send $3.50 Worth of His Com
plete Special Treatment Free to
Any Afflicted Reader.

To demonstrate the unusual curative
powers of his new and complete special
treatment for heart disease, short
breath, pain in the side, oppression in
the chest, irregular pulse, palpitation,
smothering spells, putting of the ankles
or dropsy, DIR. Miles will send, free,
to every afflicted person, two dollars and
a half worth of his new treatment.
1t is the result of twenty-four years
of careful study, extensive research, and
remarkable experience in treating the
various ailments of the heart, stomach
and nerves, which so often complicate
each case. So astonishing are the results
of his complete special treatment in
most cases, that he does not hesitate to
freely offer all patients a trial free.
Certainly nothing could be more gen.
erous-more philanthropic. Few physi-
clans have such confidence in their rem
edes. And there is no reason why every
afflicted person should not avail them
selves of this exceedingly liberal offer,
as they may never have another such an
opportunity. No death comes more sud
den than that from heart disease.
Mrs. Frank Smith, of Chicago, was cured
OF heart dropsy after five leading physicians
had given her up. thousand reference S
to and testimonials from Bishops, Clergy.
men, Bankers, Farmers, and their wives
will be sent free on request. These include
many who have been cured after from five
to fifteen physicians and professors had
pronounced them incurable.
Send at once to Franklin Miles, NJ. D.,
corner State and Adams streets, Chica-
go, for free treatment before it is to late,
and please mention the name of this
paper.

ME were left alone together.
Dicks heart had been growing tender
toward Mamie from the moment he had
seen Wayne riding away. Sometimes he
had thought that maybe she was flirting
with the singing teacher to try him. Il
might be that she blamed him FOR not
having spoken out about his intentions
In plain tcrms. and took this way Of
bringing him to definite declaration Of
what he meant. II was quite possible,
after all, that she did not care two
straws for Wayne. Dick took courage at
the thought, and he resolved to improve
the present opportunity to come to some
understanding on the subject.
Mamie had the weeks ironing TO do
that evening. and Dick found her at work
In the kitchen when he came In from the
barn.
He sat down and watched her rs she
shook out the garments piled up In the
clothes basket and sprinkled them. She
looked toward him once. aud caught his
eyes. and a quick flush ovcrsprcad her
cheeks; then she turned away and began
singing one Of the new tunes they had
learned at singing school.
