I wish were boy again.
That age were but a dream.
That things would change from what they are
To Whit they used TO seem;
That We're hut a little boy
And from my mothers knee
Could find that dear old Fairyland
Just il used to De.
IL wishes only were horse,
How fast away I'd ride
Across the plains of yesterday,
Bold comraGes by my side;
Once more I'd rsscue captive maids:
All, doughty deeds you'd see,
III were bat a hero bold,
Just as l used to be.
With BeanStalk Jack I'd sally forth
To giants kill galore;
In seVen-eagued boots I'd stride away
To that enchanted shore
Where ogres dwell in castles huge,
And mermaiGs swarm the sea;
oh how RI love 10 find them all
Just as they used TO be.
Ny little boy says I'm all wrong
That nothing's changed at all,
That he show me ogres fierce,
And giants more than tall;
Then, clasping his dear hand in mine,
He leads me forth TO see
Years drop as leaves; I'm young again,
Just as used 10 be.

STYLES IN SHOES.


The retail shoe dealers of the city are
being visited now in the regular quarterly
trips of the shoe statesmen of the country.
All of the shoe manufacturers of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut send their sales
men westward at the same time, and nine
ty-eight of them who visit Indianapolis are
being received in the city. On Sunday
eleven put in an appearance. Yesterday
sixteen arrived and registered at the Grand
Hotel.
The shoe men brought samples of shoes
for spring and early summer wear. The
styles are not greatly different from those
worn last spring, one of the statesmen said
and the lines being offered to the retailers
are for the most part In patent calf and
yici kid. The shapes are similar and the
moderately large, round-toed shoe of the
summer will prevail in the coming season S
fashions.

pary are that the conductor of the street
car and the other employees did not OBJ
serve the rules of the company in tagging
the car over the tracks, and that the
Union Railway Company was violating the

There is little new 10 note in the local
markets, so smoothly does everything move
along from day to day. On Commission
row prices in most lines are governed by
the volume of receipts. and only on Irish
potatoes, cabbage and tropical fruits do
they carry a steady, strong tone. Irish
potatoes, since homegrown new stock

THE c. & N. W. SYSTEM
THE GREATEST MONEY-EARNING
RAILROAD IN THE COUNTRY.
Its Freight Traffic Has Increased 500
Per Cent. Since 1S1S-GeneraI
and Personal Notes.

The recent struggle for control of the
Chicago & Northwestern has brought the
property into greater prominence than ever
before. The belief that interests other than
those that have managed the road so sue
cessfully had secured a large stockhold-
ing interest and would be recognized at the
late election served 10 draw attention TO
this great property, its freight traffic since
1878 having increased 500 per cent, the COM
pany now operating 1900 miles of main
line. and in its fiscal year earning 1854
$50. The New York Commercial says:
There probably is not another railroad
company in the country of equal extent
with which the general public is so unfa
miliar. The Chicago & Northwestern for
years has been pre-eminently an investors
proposition. 1t has been controlled largely
by comparatively few persons who have
had an unrestricted hand in It's manage
ment. Through years of general prosperity
and years of general depression the COM
pany has followed the even tenor of it's
way, paying dividends uninterruptedly and
putting millions of dollars into improve
ments. AS long ago as 1870 dividends of II
per cent. were paid upon the preferred and
10 per cent. on the common stock. In
year since 1878 has the preferred stock re-
ceived less than it's regular per cent. divi-
dend and throughout that entire period
dividends averaging more than per cent.
have been paid upon the common stock.
The mileage OF the Chicago & Northwest
ern is located in the following seven States:
illinois, Winconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Min
neSota, South Dakota and North Dakota.
The Chicago d Northwestern was organized
in 1859 as successor TO the Chicago, st. Paul
&. Fond du Lac Railroad, which had 176
miles of railroad in operation. The COM
pnay started out with a share capital of
81 csc, 600; funded debt, S73O0,O0O; floating
debt, $500, OOO-in all, $40 $4,000. Immediately
following the completion of organization
the management entered vigorously upon
the work of extending and completing its
lines. and in October, 1859 ran its first
train over the completed road from Chicago
to Oshkosh. In 1862 the line was completed
to Fort Howard, 242 miles from Chicago.
From this small beginning the company has
grown to the present magnificent system
controlling 5000 miles of road, and showing
a larger earning power than any other road
of equal extent in the country.

WATER MAIN EXTENSION
THE LARGEST SINGLE ONE EVER
MADE By THE LOCAL COMPANY.
ton for IrvingtOn and Tuxedo
City Affairs.

The Board of Public Works has approved
in part the water main extensions for the
recently annexed territory of Irvington and
Tuxedo. Vice President Davis, of the In
dianapolis Water Company. yesterday sub
mitted to the board a map of the extensions
he believes adequate for the district. While
the board believes all the extensions pro-
vided for in the map will be necessary in
the near future it will not likely order more
than enough at present to give fire protec-
ton.
According to the plans submitted the ex-
tension will be the largest single extension
ever made by the company In all eight
miles of mains are provided for which, of
course. under the contract with the city re-
quiring water plug for every 500 feet of
extension will give about eighty fire
hydrants. The extension will begin at the
end if the mains just west of the Belt Rail-
road and reach to Central avenue in Irving
ton, with branches in contiguous streets.
The board took ,ne extensions under ad-
Vjsement and will announce its decision
shortly. The streets in which the extensions
will be made will then be announced.
Vice President Davis also reported to
the board the completion of the extension
ordered by il for the protection of the In
sane Hospital. This extension is from YER
mont street TO Washington street along
the east side of the hospital with branches
reaching many parts of the grounds about
the buildings. In all thirteen hydrants were
established for fire service and of these
seven are for steamer service.
The lrvington extension will add about
$1,000 to the city water bill if the scheme
proposed by Mr.. Davis should be carried
out. AS the city is not prepared for this
increase now the extensions will be cur
tailed. Another reason for curtailment is
found in the needs of the Department OF
Public Safety which will follow the extern
sions with fire station creating an addi-
tional burden to the city's expense. 1t is
likely the Board of Safety will hold
special meeting this afternoon to determine
what will be asked in the way of a special
appropriation, which will include the pur-
chase of lot and the building of a station
house
