 I'm afraid, George. dear" she said. that you do not love me now as you used to before we were engaged. You seem so cold, so absent minded, so dis tant tonight. I fear the ardor of your love Is dying out
 NO. no, darling" he protested in a tone redolent with agony, 'it isn't that. If I have seemed cold and distant to- night forgive me. I love you now as I have always loved you-as I always shall. till death or divorce shall part us. The whole truth of the matter Is. I am breaking in a pair of new shoes. and I have corn.''

ws-e & LeIand's Market Letter.

Influenced by the belief that there Is not enough business in sight for the near future, traders in Liverpool lean towards the bear side. Early quotations were dis appointing, but the last hours of the session witnessed a material improve ment.
 Closing prices on options being un- changed. while sales of 1000 bales of spots depressed prices points.
 The weather map failed to show the showers forecasted for Texas. and a few traders who sold yesterday on the predic- ton were buyers on our opening.
 Foreign spot houses also bought through their local representatives. but almost immediately offerings became free from sources which suggested that some of the recent large buyers were also liquidat- ing.
 First prices. therefore. represented the highest returns of the day Later weather reports showed that two points in Texas had received good rains. but average tenn peratures were high, forecasts promised scattered showers for only portions of the state, where little if any cotton is grown.

AN ELECTRIC RAILWAY
From Browns Valley South e
WatertOWn Suggested.


Quite q little interest is CEN
tered upon the proposition that
an electric railway starting at
Browns Valley and running
south to Watertown would be Q
paying venture. The route pro
posed by one well.known Milbank
gentleman, would run from
Browns Valley south to Wilmot,
then to Milbank, Albee, Revillo
and to Watertown. This route
would 60 through q we'll popu-
lated and rich farming country,
and by hauling freight to and
from intermediate points, is is
believed that thandsomedi dividends
would be realized upon the money
expended. The mileage of such
q route as proposed would be
about eighty miles and would tap
a district that would appreciate
and be anxious to take advant.
age of anything in the line of
transportation between these
two important cities.
An overhead electric power
line would not be necessary,
gasoline.electric power being
used a great deal on many of the
eastern suburban and country
lines, and which is much cheaper
to construct and maintain. Such
u line would save much travel, to
say nothing of the time necessary
to get to Watertown from the
north and would give connections
with the Great Northern, North
Western, Minneapolis & st.
Louis and Rock Island railways,
and by opening close competition
with other roads would have q
tendency to create lower freight
rates. It would not be a difficult
matter to finance such an under
taking if properly laid before
eastern capitalist is who arealways
ready to let their money out at
low rates of interest, or even
purchase the bonds. And no
doubt a good share of the bonds
could be disposed of to western
capitalists.
However, the SUBJECT is one
that looks very feasible and
should be investigated thorough
~ before being thrown aside.
