Thirty years ago the Houston d
Texas Central wanted to build into
Waxahachie. 1t was headed toward
Dallas from Corsicana and made
this city a proposition TO build into
the town for $4,000. The matter
was considered for time, a mass
meeting called and speeches made,
and the railroad officials were told
that Waxahachie didn't need the
road $50, 900 worth, and then the
building of the road into the city
would deprive the teamsters and
freighters of a livelihood. So the
H. Il T. G.. accepted the situation,
established a town at Ennis; a few
years later the City of Waxahachie
bonded itself for $4,000 to build a
twelve mile tap to Garrett, and then
gave the bonds to some fellow to
build the road and take it. A short
while afterwards the town gave
$50 900 for the Fort Worth line,
which has since passed into the
hands of the Central Thus the
town paid 500 900 for branch line
when 1t could have had the main
line several years sooner for half
the sum.
Are we going to be guilty of the
same folly again?
A year or two ago the Choctaw
Valley road desired to build line
from South McAlester to Ardmore,
beginning at South McAlester. 1t
laid the matter before the citizens of
the latter place and asked for a bo-
nus of SIS, 900. In effect the citizens
of South McAlester told the rail-
road people that Ii didn't care any
thing for their old road, didn't need
it i'm their business and they could
build into South McA1ester or not,
as they saw fit. The railroad OFF,
cials dropped back to Haleyville,
about fifteen miles, and built the
road TO Ardmore. They have estab-
lished terminals at Haleyville and
are building up quite town there,
aud now the people of South Me
AIester are offering to move the
roadbed and give the right-of-way
If the Choctaw will make their town
terminal headquarters. The cost of
what they propose will be about
si5O, 900. These facts are well
known and Waxahachians m ay
lust as well write 1t down that
II the /. Il q. N is not brought here
it will build through a portion of
our territory that will do the town
incalculabie injury, and in a few
years we will be offering it four
times the amount now asked to
bring the road into the city.
The secretary of the Farmers
cotton yard said to the LIGHT today
that three-f fourths of the cotton
marketed in this city comes from
the territory through which the road
will likely run, if it doesn't come
here, 1t would not be putting it toe
strong to say that the future pros
perity of the city depends to large
extent upon the securing of the /. d
G. n, railway.

will live to regret it. Subscribe to-

SAILING AROUND THE COW.
How an Old sea-captain WI. Mis-
led by the Lowing OF the
Ships Milk Producer.

Many a sea-captain has sailed
around the world since the adyen-
turous voyage of Capt. Cook, but
few navigators have tried what the
captain of an East Indiaman used
to relate rs an experience of his own,
says the Youths Companion.
He was out one foggy night, and
sounded his fog-horn, as every wise
captain should. From the starboard
side came the sound of a fog-horn, an
parently from a vessel very close,
and showing nc lights,
Port your helm,'' shouted the cap
tain, and the order was obeyed. Then
he blew his horn again. Back from
the same relative position, although
the ship had altered her course three
points, came the sound OF that an
swering fog-horn.
lizard aport!" roared the captain.
That, too, was done, and the signal
vas tried again. Back from exactly
the same position. although his yes
sci had now changed her course seven
points, came the sound Of that fog
horn.
The captain, alarmed, was just go
ing to give the order to reverse the
engines, when one Of the officers dis
covered that the supposed fog-horn
was only the COW that was carried
on the forward deck to supply fresh
milk fer the passengers

THE DAIRY PASTURE.
No Part of the Farm VIII Yield Rette,
Results for Careful Attention
and Treatment.

IL .E-L4- .LL'
The director of the Iowa experiment
station says: The problem as our lands
become more valuable will be not how
to do with less grass, but how to get
more of it. Pasture lands may become
worn out, or what is more properly
termed, "run out" quite as readily and
completely as tillable lands. No part
of the farm will yield better returns
for careful attention and good treat
ment than the pasture. Some simple
experiments conducted in the Iowa
college farm pastures have furnished
striking results in favor of pasture Gull
ture. The application Of ten quarts of
clover seed per acre, ,disced and har-
rowed into blue grass pasture in the
early spring, increased the yield IS per
cent. ove pastures Immediately ad-
joining that received no treatment.
Pasture lands thus treated produce a
heavier, denser growth, and better va
riety of grasses, and stand drought
better and the improvement extends
over several seasons. This treatment
should be alternated with top dressing.
applied preferably during the fall or
winter, following with the harrow in
the spring. The bestpasturesarethose
that are never disturbed by the pillow.

AFTER a YEAR.

Is it a year or yesterday
Since we were last together, love,
Since from my sid you turned away
To seek some alien star above,
Too far for ken of mortal clay
Is it a year or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday
Since I was called upon to bear
A grief no balm can e'er allay,
A woe that none may see or share:
Since you have vanished, say oh say,
Is it a veal or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday?
Since laughter died upon my lips,
And I became too sad to pray.
For all my stars rel in eclipse,
And hopes aurora paled to gray
Is it q year or yesterday?
Is 1t a year or yesterday?
"a year!' cries Loneliness, "a year,
But Pain with pallid lips cries, Nay!
Too fierce the pan too fresh the a
Too present seems the souls dismay."
