PROGRESS OR VANDALISM.

When we get Niagara harnessed
And her useless cliffs and crags
Have been dried to feed the yearnings
OF our yawning money bags,
What joy will thrill our bosoms-
All romantic nonsense drowned
As we hear her torrents thunder
Through the wheel pit under ground!
Then We'll blast away Goat island,
Turn it into building blocks,
Put a turbine in the whirlpool,
Build shot towers down the rocks.
How we'll pity our poor forebears,
Prating of aesthetic taste,
While allowing, thoughtless fellows,
AL those kilowatts to Wastei
Forward, Spirit of Progression!
Natures still giddy shirk.
Tear away her fancy toggings,
Get her into trim for work.
Turn the Adirondack forest
Into neat and useful planks;
Straighten out the crooked Hudson,
Line with piers her grassy banks.
Crush the Dunderberg for pavements,
Make the Palisades cement,
Fill the Catskills up with signboards-
Lots Of good rock space to rent.
Rip the redwoods into shingles,
Sow the Yellowstone to wheat,
Turn the geysers into laundries
And the bear and deer to meat.
What are mere aesthetic fancies,
Hill or vale or wood or vine,
TO the graceful curves and meaning
OF the pleasing dollar sign?

designed the plan says that it works
with marked success. In addition to
this feature there is the minimum
danger of the grain becoming fouled in
any way. In late issue of the Breed

following directions for construction:
Take two pieces of lumber, say two

two feet to go into the ground; on top
of these two timbers is placed a four

There was a pause for moment and
the visitor looked inquiringly at Mrs.
Tryon.

"Well," echoed the visitor, Give
come for the lace"
Mrs. Tryon, with great calmness and
keen appreciation of the situation,
replied: Indeed"
There was another awkward pause.
"Why, of course" the visitor went
on, trifle nettled by the seeming in
difference of her hostess. What do
you suppose I've been running this
town over for the last few days? Just
to get acquainted with you?"
whatever your object" Mrs. -Tryon
responded, bit nettled herself, your
trouble was useless"
"Do you mean to say that you won't
give me the lace?" The visitor was on
her feet and her eyes were flashing.
"You certainly have grasped my
meaning" retorted Mrs. Tryon.
But it's mine. l can't finish my
dress without it, Why, it will ruin
everything. The dress cost me 5000,
tell you. Surely you'll be lady enough
to sell it to me. 1t only cost you IS
cents
Il couldn't think of parting with it, .
Mrs. Tryon interrupted Besides, I'm

"I've already spent SO for material to
go with it,"
"Will you take 1852"
Never"
You're a vicious, ugly old cat the
visitor snapped, and the door was gen.
eeously slammed behind her by Mrs.
Tryon.
I'D have let her have it for $t5,'
Mrs. Tryon said as she was telling her
husband about it that evening, eff she
had only been decent about it. But
the hussy insulted me by her superior
manner I'd have liked to make that
money, though. Fourteen dollars and
twenty-five cents is pretty good profit
to make on one piece of Is cent lace.
l might have got real nice waist for
that"
Eyes," Tryon put in, "and you'll
never enjoy wearing that waist now
because you'll always be thinking how
you lost SLABS by keeping it"
"Well, there's one satisfaction" Mrs.
Tryon added, thoughtfully. THAT
hussy can't match that lace and she'll
have to throw away what she has and
buy a whole new trimming. That'll
cost her $40 or $50"

"A Disputed
X u Remnant

MFRS. TRYON'S keen appreciation
lW for bargain when it came under
her observation did not always lead her
into final happiness. Some things she
bought just because they were cheap
led her to the necessity of other pur-
chases to go with them. And so her
bargains were sometimes the cause of
expenditures that she could not well
afford.
This was the case with yard Of lace
she found downtown at remnant sale
one morning. 1t was beautiful piece
Of work and she had often desired
something like it, but the cost, So a

however, it was only remnant and

The Maintenance of Way forces of the
Erie are now engaged in laying $50 miles
of 9O-pound steel rails on the main track.
A larger mileage has never been laid in
any one year before. The Erie has al
ways been noted for its good track, and
the management finds that it is necessary
TO use heavier rail on account of the
weight of the several hundred new engines
that have been purchased in the last two
years Much of the rail being removed
has only been in track four or five years
and will be used on branch lines.
