In the early days of railroading there
wss little regard paid to the geomet-
rical proposition that a straight line is
the shortest distance between two
points. The study in economy was as
to the cost of construction and the con-
formation of the country traversed had
most to do with the selection of a
route. Tracks were laid through val
leys, around mountains and SO as to
skirt intercepting lakes. The neces-
sity of deep cut was deplOred, tun-
mel was gross extravaganza and
bridge of considerable dimensions
was the cause of much talk and hest
tation among the directors. In later
years the saving in time and the ia
cilities for rapid traffic have made the
original cost of building a minor con-
sideration. The aim is to save every
minute possible in the delivery of
freight and to give passengers the
quickest transportation available. The
roads bore through mountains or climb
them by grades that were formerly
considered prohibitory, tunnel under
rivers or bridge them, and refuse To
admit that there is any barrier of ne

Despite the fact that the police con-
tinue to make their lot anything but
a happy one, the devotees of motoring
contrive to extract a good deal of fun
out of their pastime and its opponents.
1t was recently reported that in the
Belgian capital the authorities have
fixed the speed at which motor cars
may travel through the streets. at
three and a quarter miles per hour,
which is no more than ordinary walk
ing pace. The regulations declare that
the vehicles may not advance" at
greater speed, and humorous motor
list is said to have started practicing
retrograde movement, against which
the law has not provided.
Providing policemen, harboring sin
lister designs on motor cars, should
not be too eager to accept the offer of
a ride from bland and innocent look
ing intended victims. The other day
a constable at Maryland held up the
occupants of an automobile on a
charge of furious driving, and demand
ed of the driver that he should accom-
pany him to the police station.
With a generosity which took the
man in blue completely off his guard
he was offered a ride by his captives.
The offer was accepted. but as soon
as he had mounted the car it was set
going at tremendous pace. From

after good care for several weeks he
gradually improved. Upon examina-
ton it was found that he was shot
twice, once over the heart few
inches, and in the shoulder. His
wounds healed, but left him a cripple
in his left arm.
Being of no service to his company,
he was in a short time discharged and
went to New Orleans, where, after a
few years, he was married.
His brother James came out of the
war without a scratch, and returned
to his Brown county home, though
during the time the boys were gone
James Robertson never heard of his
brother afterward and thought he had
died on the day he carried him, wound
ed, under tree.
Mr. Robertson sold his Brown coun-
ty farm and went to Illinois, where he
remained for several years, then went
to Missouri.
After many years in Missouri, one
day he became acquainted with an old
Mexican soldier, and through him
learned that his brother was alive and
living in New Orleans. He made
ready and hurried to New Orleans,
where he found his brother.
Last week James returned to
Brown county on a visit, though in
the sos, to his old home friends, and
told of the meeting of his long thought
dead brother. He returned Saturday
to New Orleans, where he says he and
his brother will live together.-New

Meet After 81 Years

F1fty-Seven years ago James and
Henry Robertson left their Indiana
home to serve as soldiers in the MeXi-
can war. Since 1S47 these two broth
ers had never seen each other, and
each thought the other dead.
When they left for the scene of the
conflict they were 21 and % years old.
and left behind them old and enfee-
bled parents. They asked permission
of Col. James H. Lane of the Sd in
fantry, to march side by side and fight,
as they had promised their parents
before leaving they would be true sol
diers and fight at each others side.
The permission was granted.
The regiment went from New AL
the gulf to Brazos island, Tex.
A few days passed without indica-
ton of aggressiveness on the part of
the enemy, until Feb. 81, 1S47, the
day of the memorable battle of Buena
Vista This found the Robertson
boys still clinging together.
Several Brown county boys were
carried from the field wounded, and
James Robertson turned to see how
his brother was getting along. He
saw him throw up his hands and fall.
He rushed to his brother and carried
him under a tree, and found he was
shot near the heart.
Henry told his brother he would die
shortly, and babe him return to his
company and fight. James kneeled
and kissed his brother farewell and
returned to the front.
Henry was carried to the rear. and

The Brave Old DAYS

You will see them meet on the busy
street, old fellows of tottering
walk.
And the eyes grow bright with the old
day light their old hands meet
and lock.
And it's Hello Jim,'' and it's Hello
Tim,'' and How do you do to-day2 %
And they draw aside from the human
tide for chat in the old-time way
They talk of the time they were in their
prime ere they suffered from ages
pains.
OF the songs they sang when the bull
whips rang way out on the dusty
plains,
Of the perils faced on the desert waste,
of the pioneer joke and jest.
AS they trudged through sand to the
promised land in the brave old days
of the West
They recall the trays of those brave old
days with the demons with skins of
red
OF the wagons parked" and the guns
that barked and bit with their teeth
of lead.
OF the fiendish yells and the. jingling
bells on the ponies of painted foes
OF the arrows flight sent with arms OF
might from the spring OF the Bonded
bows.
