RAILROADS
Will Give Columbus
Excursions.
Not Afraid of Affecting Buffalo
Business.

Columbus excursions this summer
are possible, even though it appeared
for a time that they We're to he called
off. The railroads have been debat-
ing whether such excursions should be
run this season, as it was believed they
would prejudice the regular business
and make possible IA constructive low
rate to Buffalo, and turn owed a num-
Der of cheap tickets to the brokers. 1t
Is said now that the c., A. Il c., and
the Big -Four may, even in the face of
this possibility, start the excursions, as
the practice of running them has been
in vogue so long that the people have
come to expect them. Not caring to
disappoint the patrons of the roads. the
officers are willing to run the eXcur-
sions, II is believed, in the face of pos
sible disaster from them. 1t is said
that this question will be settled in the
near future

NOT A WORD
Will N. O. T. Officials
Say
Relating to Directors Meeting
Held In Cleveland.

Officials of the n. o. Il. Co. are very
mum today concerning the object of
the directors meeting held in Cleve-
land, Monday. They decline to say
even word relative to the meeting.
Considering the apparent standsrill
in progress toward building the Can
ton line, and the late decisive steps
taken by the Canton-Akron Co., it is
rumored the meeting was held to con.
slider present conditions relating to the
proposed enterprise, 1t is believed
some important move or deal is "brew-
ing" but thus far what it is, is mat
ter of conjecture.

"Stick to It."

Geo. l.. Heard of High Tower, Geor-

baby, covering his entire body. Under
treatment of our family physician he
got worse as he could not sleep for

stick to II for II is doing more good
than anything I have done for him."

JACK TAR'S GROWL.
A Story illustrating the Sailors
Habit of Grumbiing.

Habit of GrumbiiDg.
The author of From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing of the sailors
habit of grumbling, says: The dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. jack S forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon a time there lived skip
per whose wife said to him that if she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on a voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scOuse was thick with fresh veg
etables, the bread was white and with
out weeyils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled
Then the shippers wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
"will know how much we think of their
comfort"
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as q cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, Il say, Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died
off"

As Mr.. Gallup lighted his tin lantern

He was absent 80 minutes, and when
he arrived home he found her huddled
up in the big rocking chair, with a pill
low behind her head and the camphor
bottle in her hand. She took three long
shifts at the bottle and gave three long
drawn sighs as he entered, but it was
labor thrown away. Mr.. Gallup blew
out his lantern and hung it up behind
the cellar door, and, having deposited
the coffee on a shelf in the pantry, he
removed and hung up his coat and hat,
sat down and took off his shoes and
then, taking circular from his pock-
ct and putting on his glasses with
great deliberation, began to read. 1t
was Il circular regarding a new discOv-

had not yet finished with the first tes-

times in succession and family asked:

from one who had been cured after
