TALK OF THE TINES.

It's beastly shame that the Colorado
Il Southern railway company does not
provide heating stove for the waiting
room at the depot. The patrons Of the
road are justly entitled to some consid-
Grafton, though the company does not
act as thought it looked at the matter in
that light. People frequently drive in
from the country from fifteen to twenty
miles TO take the morning train, and find
no fire in the waiting room by which to
warm themselves. They are compelled
to either go into the little stuffy ticket
Office or go into one of the stores. It's
a shame and the company should remedy
the existing condition of affairs, and do
it now.
s.
George II. Lorimer, author of "Letters
OF Self made Merchant to His Son,
in his latest contribution to packing
house philosophy, takes shot at mil
lionaires who make conditional contribu-
tions to the public institutions. "These
millionaires who give away hundred
thousand or So" Old Graham says, "with
the understanding that the other fellow
will raise another hundred Thousand or
so, always remind me OF lot OF boys
coaxing dog into their yard with a
hunk of meat, so that they can tie can
to his tail-the pup edges up licking his
chops at the thought of the provisions
and hanging his tail at thought Of the
hardware. II he gets the meat he's got
to run himself to death to get rid of the
can"
