DELAwAREs SMALL MILEAGE

Delaware with the exception of Rhode
Island is the only State in the Union that
has less than 500 miles Of railroad. Del
aware at present has 35I miles and
Rhode Island only 215. At the close of
the Civil War there were 81, 900 miles of
railroad in the United States, of which
200 were in Ohio, 5000 in Illinois,
$500 in Pennsylvania, 200 in New
York, 2,lO0 in Indiana, and 1,400 in
Georgia. There was at that time less
than fifty miles of railroad each in Mich
igan and Oregon, less than 100 miles each
in California and Arkansas, less than fifty
miles in Kansas and less than 500 in
Texas. The present length of American
railroads is 100, ,000 miles and four States
have among them more railroad mileage
than the whole country had at the close
of the Civil War.

ANIMALS IN FOLKLORE

It is significant, when one thinks of it.
that the teaching Of folklore stories and
great masterpieces Of literature is, in the
main, in the direction of kindness to ami
mails. Although the animal is sometimes
represented as mans foe, or killed for
mans use, there is no wanton cruelty in
any of the old legends, and not seldom
the hero who befriends the animals, is
in turn befriended by them.
Some of the Oldest legends represent
man as talking familiarly with the men,
bers of the brute creation. The 'FUncle
Remus" stories, many of which are
known to have been brought in almost
p, Q ;isely their present form, from Africa
to the plantations of the Southern States,
inculcate this idea; and "de creaturs" ap-
pear to the mind of the child, and the
childlike adult, who hear these stories, as
friends to be loved and trusted. Japan
ese folklore presents the same idea, and
the Hindu mythology is full Of it. In
Morse and Saxon legends the faithful dog
often appears; and in the folklore Of the
American Indian we have again the no.
ton Of companionship between men and
animals.
This indicates that from the very earl
lest times there has been an idea, more
or less clearly brought out as mankind
became more and more enlightened, that
kindness, and not cruelty, should be OBJ
served toward the brute creation. The
Indian tortured his enemies; he regarded
it as an honor paid to courage; but he
did not wantonly torture his few domes-
tic beasts. Whatever cruelty appears
in his treatment of them is due to care
lessness and ignorance. It is only the
degenerate civilized man who deliber-
ately, Intentionally and unproftably tor
ments hopeless animal.

one day letter arrived mentioning with
other home news, the probable marriage
OF the man and the fair lady. Then there
was terrific outburst.n

Of the girl lying prone upon the floor and
shaking with sobs. That was really the
last Of the girl. I think we may say. that
she died that night, and to the woman
who rose in her place the world has never
been quite SO fair place. The blue of
the sky is less blue, the sunlight is less
joyous and the night-wind isn't SO full
of mystery and tenderness as when it
blew across the face of the girl p
The last words were scarcely audible
and Miss Wentworth's face was almost
sad. Then she gave an impatient shrug
as if to rid herself of unpleasant mem
ories.
swell, there came morning when she
opened her eyes, yawned, thanked
Heaven that she was alive, and thought
rapturously of love of gown which
was to come home that day. Then she
wondered anxiously if she had gone off
much in looks (she felt as if there was no
bloom leftD, and she knew by these
tokens that her first love affair was over

There was something delicately quiz
zical in the infection of her words and
something delicately regretful as well.
"You see, miss the girl" she finished
as she rose and they moved off across the
grass together.
"Does it occur to you''-Sanford's
voice was grave and pleading that pos
sibly he misses more than the girl?'
The gentle raillery in his companion's
face as she glanced up at him was more
eloquent than words.
''That man, take it," he continued

There was no mistaking his earnestness
now nor the touch of hauteur in Miss
Wentworth's manner as she replied care

"You've been inattentive! The girl
died, you know"
That night she wrote the following
note tn someone else.

"DEAR JACK:

There has been a call on the fire de-
partment for aid every day of this
week up to Friday and one was being
expected all day, Friday. The one,
Thursday, was for a little blaze in the
house on Pleasant street occupied by
Walter S. Wyman and happened about
10 o'clock in the evening. Mr.. Wyman
attempted to ring in AN alarm from
box 81, but lost the key to the box in
the snow so was unable to do so and
telephoned to the central station for
aid. The Hose l and Hook and Ladder
truck were sent over with what men
happened to be about the station at
the time, but there was little for them
to do. The fire was started in the at
tic chamber by an oil heater, the
blaze getting into the bed clothes. The
damage was very small, the chemical
being sufficient.

Colby Boys Aid.

The subscriptions are still coming in
for the aid Of the Colby boys who
lost in the fire. The names are not
being added TO the list so rapidly but
the fund is slowly increasing to good
proportions. Word has been received
from Allen p. Soule, Colby 10, of Bos-
ton. that he has $50 on hand which has
been contributed by the alumni of that
city. A meeting is to be held in his
office, this evening, at which it is ex-
pected that this sum will be greatly
increased. The report was also heard
in the city, yesterday. that the students
of Bowdoin are taking steps to raise
a fund similar TO that raised at the
University of Maine.

cribe here in the city: s. s. Brown,
