What Bobby Wants.

Some folks wants to be angels and pres
idents and such;
don't; but can tell you just what I'd
like so much.
wants to be fluffy dog like mama 4
little Buzu;
And have her say my precious sweet.
and did nearly loose 'oo?"
And clasp me in her arms and cry and
and kiss me on the head,
Just like she did when Buzu choked till
he was nearly dead.
Now, Buzu hasn't sticky hands to spoil
my mama's gowns,
so when he climbs upon her Ian she
never gives him frowns,
But cuddles him up close to her and
kisses him as sweet,
And never says one word about torn
clothes or muddy feet;
It's hard to he a little boy in every.
bOdy's way
wants to he my mama's dog and STAY
with her all day.

The Difference.

When New York City raised the sa.
loon license, nearly one fourth of the
dramshops went out of business. When
Chicago followed suit the saloons be-
gan to increase in number, and by May
18th it is estimated the added license
feea will amount to $1,000, 600.
This will be very substantial addi-
tion to the revenue of the windy city
by the lakes.
When New York raised the license,
there were fewer saloons and no increase
in revenue. When Chicago does the
same thing, there is an increase in the
number of saloons that puts four add-
tional millions into the city treasury.

Dry Farming.

Many inquiries regarding dry farm
ing" and the Campbell System" Of
agriculture, have reached this office.
These inquiries Indicate a growing de,
mand for information on the subject OF
dry farming. The press of the West
and the agricultural journals are devo-
ting good deal Of space to the subject
at the present time. Many farmers
are taking up dry farming in an expert
mental way. Hundreds of others are
taking both money and valuable time
upon the successful termination of the
issue In hand. Not few will resort to
pumping by means Of which to supple.

fact that large sections of the country
are being rapidly settled by would be

newly settled sections shall in large

Dry farming is based upon two prin-
cipal objects, namely, the forming of |

water that comes to the land either in

Railroad In Contest Over ExcuFsIOn
Rates.

The three groups Of railroads re.

IN a three-cornered was over home
seekers excursions.
Fuel war added to the flames YES ter.
day by a proposition which the Rock
Island submitted to make homeseekers'
rates effective to the Southwest terri
tory every Tuesday in the month. II
the plan is negatived by the Western
Passenger Association lines, independ-
ent action will be taken by the Rock
Island. John Sebastian, Speaking for
the latter road yesterday. said:
The Rock Island snd Frisco systems
stand fatty for the development of the
Southwest, into which territory a heavy
immigration has been induced by spend
ing large amount Of money and by a
liberality which has had immense results
in the way of colOnizing. We believe
the location of settlers is vastly more
important than the loss of few dollars
through the manipulation Of cheap rate
tickets. The lines represent have no
objection to any basis of homeseekers'
rates which may be inaugurated into
other territories, but so far as the
Southwest is concerned we shall insist
upon protecting that territory by as
liberal inducements as are offered BY
the lines in any other territory"

arrangements of money-madness and
graft that has appeared since Mr.. Law

Makes Smoother Riding.

To stimulate the track foremen to eff
cient service, the Cumberland Valley Rail
road Company offer prizes to those who
best keep their track. A party of Off
Gals recently went over the line on trip
of inspection, the result of which has been
the announcement of the following award
of prizes:
Main Line Section H. John c. Wag-
ner, $50; section 8, T. E. Spangler $50 ;
section 6, Miles Jacobs $40; section IS, B..
F. Thomas $25.
Branch Line Prize. Section Az, j. E.
Brumbaugh $50; section Al, A. F. Koh-
Ter $40.
Prize for the Greatest Improvement
During the Year. Section /, John G..
Ward $25.
This investment of $3.50 in prizes prob
ably returns to the Cumberland Valley
Railroad Company hundreds per cent in the
wear and tear of machinery and rolling
stock, not taking into account the in
creased comfort of passengers. Other
roads, whereof we know, have adopted
this excellent scheme to advantage; still
others might.

Ships BOmbarded BY MeteOrs.

New York, Nov. 5.-Whcn the Phn-
nix liner St. Andrew, from Antwerp,
tied up alongside her pier 1Iobokcn
yesterday the sole topic of converse
ton that came to the cars of the stcv-
edores on shore was the narrow escape
of the freighter from being melted
and sunk by a red-hot fragment OF
a star that fell alongsi de last Tuesday
afternoon, when the vessel was &C
miles to the eastward of Cape Race.
First Officer V. Spencer, who was
on the bridge, told how the meteor,
with flaming tail "a mile long"
came zigzagging out OF the southern
sky a half hour before sunset, and
disappeared in the ssa with roar and
a sizzle that terrorized the crew. That
the ship passed through a larga shower
of meteors there is no doubt, for just
before the big one dropped less than
a mile away there were three smaller
ones ahead that could be plainly seen
in the gathering twilight.

A Great IMPROVEMENT.

About month ago an order was Issued
by the Board of Commissioners OF Thur
mont to number of persons owning
property on Lombard Street, to grade up
and lay pavement. The orderw obeyed
and today more than $50 feet of concrete
walk is laid on both the east and west
sides of the street.
What seems strange to US is that about
one-half of this street was ordered paved
and the remaining one-haif allowed to re-
main in the condition it has been for ma
ny years. This street runs parallel with
Carroll Street and is one of the thorough
fares to the Western Maryland depot,
and direct to the freight warehouse. -
The remainder of the sidewalks should
be graded and filed with gravel or Gin
der, at least, if not paved, so that persons
walking need not wade through mud and
water to reach the railroad station.
Tie work already done on this street
adds much to it's appearance and II the
work of paving was continued itwould at
tract the attention Of persons looking for
sites on which to build. Once this street
is paved and macadamiZed and the build
ing line established to correspond with
houses already built, it will be the pref
test in Thurmont.
