 It will be the short line be- tween Memphis and St. Louis, being fifteen miles shorter than the Illinois Central. Cut-offs are now being built at Evadale, Ark. to the main line and at Caruthers- vile, Mo-, which will leave that city on branch half a mile from the main line. The road is on the water level and is laid with heavy rails and ballast, making one of the finest roadbeds in the country.

RUNS FURNITURE FACTORY
Enterprising Danish Girl Studied
Cabinet Making and Then

she came to enter this business.
Miss Horsball said:
"About the time most girls be-

finding me in possession of a plane
nearly as large as myself, which [
had borrowed from q neighbor

that, after all, toy tools might be
the less dangerous of the two, and
rejoiced my soul by presenting me
with a really handsome and prac-
teal tool chest, which | received
with a burst of tears-the happi-
ness was too great. From that
moment my calling was assured
In the meantime We we're going

Miss Horsball stopped by each
workman, critieising, praising or
suggesting, it was plain that the
smallest detail of manufacture
was familiar to her.
Noticing that all the furniture
under way was of high grade, |
inquired:
Don't you make any plain fur

NO; very little. We make
mostly all furniture from my own

DoWie's Comment on Politicians,

Dowie's Comment on Politicians.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Dowie's
violent epigram that politicians are
like a deck of cards, the longer you
shuttle them the dirtier they get, was
thought good enough to telegraph all
the way from Australia. It sounds
like Sam Jones. It is one of the
rough, brutal witticisms that do not
hurt very much, for nobody thinks he
is a politician. The politician is q
hazy sort of personality, the creation
of an idea half personified, and of
certain human qualities necessary in
doing campaign work. He exists to-
day and is resolved back into the
working masses tomorrow.
1t is only when the politician gives
up his professed useful occupation
and devotes himself to politics and
nothing else that he takes on the
character that in many minds is I'm.
enviable. Most of the political work
in the United States is done by men
who serve the community unsefully
in other ways. They may be profess
siona men, merchants or manufac-
tureers. When they become politici-
ans, and politicians only. then they
must depend on politics for their liv-
ing. In doing so there must of ne.
cessity be a good deal of shutting,
with the result that something Of
Dowie's description seems to fit.
Politicians get into the business as
crack billiard players and crack golf
ers and all the other crack experts of
i everything drift into professionalism
They take more interest in the game
than in their vocation, and presently
find themselves doing nothing else
They take up the fad, the fad takes
possession Of them, and if it pays they
keep at it. The faddist in games
makes it endure to the end, while the
w 'no'' AAe
plays game like the one against
the bank at Monte Carlo, in which he
is bound to lose some time, regardless
of his luck; and it Is a game equally
| as exciting, sometimes more So. But
! the professional politician has some
! of the instincts of the gambler, and
he can't keep from playing, win OF
lose. .-: ~ .,=
