Talking one day with a Frenchman
who dwelt on the frontier between
Morocco and Algeria, the sultan of
Morocco wished to be exactly in
formed as to the position Of the
frontier line, says Golden Days.
To explain it the Frenchman laid
before him map, with the names OF
the places and water-courses marked
in Arabic.
The sultan WAS amazed at the size
of this map, such as he had never
seen before. However, not wishing
to seem Inundated, he said to the
Frenchman:
"Oh, have . map, too! believe
It il better than yours, for that mat
ter"
And he signed to his chamberlain,
who left the room. and returned
with q long. narrow box. Out of this
he took a stick covered with linen,
stretched over ribs, which, when
opened out. formed a terrestrial
globe, the stick being the axis. On
this globe Morocco was about as
large as his little nnger-nail.
II was Obliged to make the best of
It," said the sultan. pointing sadly to
the tiny space his dominions occu-
pied on the face of the earth. II
asked a learned man to make me q
globe like this with one side of it
filled by Morocco and the rest of the
world on the other. But he could
not do it."

From the severe penalty melted out to
the negro ravishers of white women in
the central and southern states, one
would naturally suppose that outrages
OF this kind would become unknown,
but on the contrary they seem to be on

this can DO attributed to the notoriety
given the matter by the press of the

New Castle and Meeker Railroad.
Under the above caption the last
issue of the Garfield County Democrat
says:
There has been considerable talk for
the past dozen years or so regarding q
railroad from New Castle to Meeker,
and from there on to Salt Lake. But
take the matter simply AS local enter
prise, it is probable that no fifty miles
Of railroad in Colorado would pay larger
dividends than would railroad from
New Castle to Meeker.
ITO begin with, the grade for such a
road at no place along the line could be
considered heavy, and no rock work
would be encountered. The grade
would follow the Great Hogback ali the
way, and this would mean fifty miles Of
coal land easy Of access, with plenty Of
water along the route to successfully
operate all mines that might be opeued
up.
such road would traverse one Of the
best stock and agricultural districts Of
Colorado, and cattle shipments would
be large. This road would be the head-
quarters for all freight shipments OF
Northwestern Colorado. and could not
help but prove a bonanza from the start. /"
