CONSENT WAS UNEXPECTED.
why a Little Girl was willing to
Have An Opera tiO0 Performed
On Her Eyes.

There is one little girl in Washington
who recently gave her parents an exhi-
bition of her nature for which they
were totally unprepared The child
was cross-eyed, and her atfiiction was
source of extreme annoyance to her
self and family. An oculist was con-
suited, who advised an operation to
remedy the defect, and so it was de-
cided to take the little one to a hos
pital in Baltimore. The utmost Sc
crecy was observed in the matter
Miss Annie had once made a great fuss
about having tooth pulled, and of
course, it was to be expected that she
would enter serious objections to an
operation on her eyes, says the Wash
ington Post
She was taken to Baltimore under
the impression that she was going on
a pleasure trip with her father and
mother. When they arrived at the
hospital the mother took her daughter
in her lap and neryously hroached the
real object Of the trip. She set forth
in all its triple horror the embarrass-
lItHb NliltH 10 tnc lob VI Vie CIOSS-
eyed person, stating that the trouble
would increase as she grew older.
"Now, Annie" she said, finally, 1--WE
have brought you over here to have
your eyes Strengthened. 1t won't hurt
you at all. Wouldn't you like to have
your eyes like other people's?"
''You Just bet | would" exclaimed
Annie, to the astonishment of the 9TH
ers. you can go ahead and do any
thing you want, and | don't care how
much il hurts. I'm just sick and tired
of having a pack of colored boys spit
into their hats and cross their fingers
every time they meet me-"
The operation was performed forth
with and the young lady has as good
pair of eyes as anybody in Washing

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD.
One Driver for Whom Every Other
Teamster on the City's Streets
Quickly Makes Way.

Perennial in it's power Of attraction
is the fire engine dashing along the
city's streets on the way to a fire, and
il fasciu&tc. all. And every driver and
every uoturman, every man handling
anything On wheels gives the fireman
the right oi way and he does 50 spon-
taneousiy and gladly, says the New
York sun.
And often many drivers hold up all
at once to give the driver of the fire
engine his choice of ways, as they
would where two streets cross, and
they do this before they see the en-
gine at all. But they know it's coming
and they hear its whistle.
Here was an engine coming along
cross street to Broadway, whistle
calling. At the first note of it every
motorman or driver who chanced at
the moment to be near the junction of
Broadway and this street, stopped
short, leaving the central space unoc-
cuped, and leaving clear channels
away from it in every direction.
None of these drivers could know
which way the fire driver would want
to turn when he got to the corner, so
they all stopped, to give him free
road in whichever way he wanted TO
go and when he had come and gone
dashing round the corner they all
started uD again on their several ways
But SO far as they could they had given
the whole earth to him.

The Citizen representative met Mr..
Lantry this morning. and engaged him
in conversation for few minutes rela-
tive to the Belen cutoff He said:
1T Is our understanding that work
viii be resumed on the cutoff, but |
don't know just when We received
our instructions from Chief Engineer
Dun, whom you interviewed a short
time ago, to postpone work, and we
o! course comrlied with that order.
We have taken certain outfits off the
work and sent them. where needed, to
other work on the road. The construc
ton engines. all OF them. were need
ed NJ China Basin. in California. and
they are being sent there as fast as
possible. The balance OF our plants
are at the several camps along the
cut-iff. and will be kept there, In
charge Of a certain number of men. un.
I'll we receive orders to resume work
or definitely TO the contrary"
Mr.. Lantry stated that the reported
alliance between the Santa Fe and the
Rock Island railroad, which has not
been denied by President Ripley or
any other hlgn official OF the Santa
Fe road. may hasten renewal OF work
on the Belen ton.
