When the Swift City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
It was a narrow gauge road, the road
bed was bad, the engines and cars
were built On miniature scale, and,
while there was a schedule, had train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as miracle. The road was
known as the ''TryW Weakly"
On one occasion Josiah Mcconnell
desired to go to Swift City from Sulli-
van, but missed the train by a minute
or two The clock at the station show
ed that the train had left Sullivan five
minutes ahead of time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $4,000
damages. On trial of the case it
was proved beyond doubt that the
train Mcconnell missed should have
gone the day before and was really

What "a. LOurnaIist IS.

The editors only son was seemingly
struggling with a perplexing problem.
He moved uneasily on his hobbyhorse
and finally twisted all the name off his
steed. Then he crawled up on his ia
theirs knee and, looking inQuiringly in
his face, said:
"Pa, what is Journalistic"
"My son." said the editor as he medi-
tatively stroked the golden head of his
offspring-"my son, journalist is
man who wears a plug hat and 10
shoes and borrows money from news

Some retaliations are too clever to be
resented They seem to be almost a
logical part of the circumstances that
evoked them.
DR.. Wines, says the Christian Regis
ter, was formerly the principal of a
boys school, One day he had occasion
to trounce lad, who naturally resent
ed the punishment.
On the doctors front door was a
plate bearing the one word wines"
That night bold and clever hand add
ed three words to the inscription, so
that in the morning the doorplate read
this way: wines and Other Lickers.'

Every little while we read in the pa
pers that some one has stuck rusty
nail in his foot or hand or other portion
of the body and lockjaw resulted there
from and that the patient died. If ev-
cry person were aware Of a perfect
remedy for all such wounds and would
apply it then such reports would cease.
The remedy is simple, always on hand
and can be applied by any one, and,
what is better, it is infallible. 1t is
simply to smoke the wound or any
bruise or wound that is inf1amed with
burning wooden cloth. Twenty minutes
in the smoke will take the pain out Of
the worst case of inflammation arising
from such Il wound. People may sheer
at this remedy as much as they please,
but when they are afflicted by such
wounds just let them try it.

the boys to get off. They have already
had weeks vacation in camp at

the Kentucky trip is so little Cat the

afford to give up their jobs. More
over, their employers were not anxious
to let them out for another vacation
so soon. The departure of the troops
