WITH PENCIL AND WITH INK.

A little boy came from his school one
day,
With his heart in furry of glee;
.t'Oh, papa. they've taken our pencils
away,
And I'm writing with ink said he.
And his breast was filed with manly
pride.
For it joyed him much to think.
He has laid his pencil and slate aside,
- And is writing his words with ink
All. innocent child. could you guess the
truth
You would ask of the years to stay
Amid these slatc-pencil doings of youth,
For tear will wash them away.
But out in the great world of life and
men
The wrongs that we do and think,
We cannot so easy blot out again.
Because we then write them with Ink

FOLLOWED The RAILROAD.
Knobnoster, Missouri, Pulled Up and
Moved North.


Moved North.
The story Of a Nebraska village,
Benton, on the Platte river, left high
and dry by the Union Pacific Railroad
which eshied Off In another direction,
has often been told The Bentonites
put their furniture, cattle, houses and
bnrns on natboats, and ioated down
TO a location near the railroad and re-
built there The New York sun tells
the story OF another western town cali
ed Knobnoster, which has done a sim
liar thing twice.
For years before the Missouri Pa
cliic Railroad was extended across the
Stale from st. Louis. Knobnoster was
post village at which the stage
Goa ches used to stop for water for their
horses and food for their passengers.
The civil engineers of the Missouri
Pacific finally entered the country, and
ran the line about two miles TO the
north OF the town.
| The old town walked up for the first
time In Its existence. Most of the
houses were put on wheels and moved
over to the new site.
Just about the time the new Knob
noster began to look like a town, the
railroad authorities concluded to shift
the projected line. They decided upon
cutoff, which left the new town out
In the grass and the hazel brush. A
town site on the cutoff was laid out
about two miles still further to the
north. The railroad WAS constructed
and n station erected
The new town sulked for while, but
| finally an old doctor moved over by
the station to act for the railroad COM
pany, and his patients had to follow.
One by one the houses, or most OF
them. were moved over by the station
and rebuilt.
In year the entire town had chang
ed its location n second time. and was
huddled about the railroad station,
where 1t has remained ever since. But
for a good many years the people
watched the railroad with suspicion.
