NEW RAILROAD KING.
James }. Hill of st. Paul, New sover-
eiSn of the Rail.

Gig IN Oh the mil.
The new railroad king" in Wall
street is Mr.. James J. Hill of st. Paul
and the continent at large. who came
over the Canadian frontier a friend
less, moneyless boy 40 years ago and
is now one of the unofficial sovereigns
of his adopted country. Mr.. Hill didn't
try his prentice hand on building 2
pyramid or making a dictionary. He
constructed a transcontinental railway
system, and he still bristles with hair
and energy. The bearded strong men
of the earlier generations who pierced
forests, tunneled mountains and made
flower gardens in deserts have almost
all disappeared. The constructive era
is over in railroads. But Mr.. Hill, al
most the last of the great railroad
builders now that Coils L. Huntington
is dead, is just as apt, 1t seems, at
combination as at construction.
a charming talker is this little giant
Of the northwest when he finds the
time. The magnificent farms along the
Red river valley which contribute a
great grain traffic to Mr.. Hills Great
Northern road were originally stocked
with blooded horses and cattle which
Jim Hill, as the people out there call
him, imported at his own expense for
their benefit. Now he is reaping his
reward, and the people there are glad
of it.-Harper's Weekly.

When an old, experienced druggist
advises man to throw medicine to

he advice is worth needing.
IAN old friend of mine whom
knew to be not only first class drug
gist, but an honest man as well, ad-
vised me, in order to cure my dys-
pepsia which l had suffered with for
IL long years, and spent hundreds of
dollars in order to get well, to quit
on Grape Nuts Food and cream, with
cooked fruit and Postum Cereal Food
Coffee.

During the past winter Twas out CT

fered from dyspepsia as much as 1

ROADS ARE
IN VERY BAD CONDITION

Dirt roads in this vicinity during
the past few days have been in the
worst possible condition. The frost
is gone in most places and the mud is
bottomless. Yesterday for the first
time since the heavy snow storm
nearly two months ago there was not
a load of country produce in the local
market. The crust frozen on top of
the mud would not sustain horse
and only those who were absolutely
forced to do so were abroad on the
highways.

characters engaged in the homely pur-
suits of domesticity, but the series of
events which are unfolded in the course
OF the play are of deep dramatic in

naturalness of their telling. The best
of critics pronounce it superior play
to "Old Homestead" or "Shore Acres"
And wherever it has been presented
scores of letters from clergymen, school
teachers, and others have been received
telling of their delight at the story that
1t so aptly teaches. The dialogue Is
