FLAGLER'S NEW KEY
WEST ENTENTION.
New Orleans Picayune.

This country has contributed
Uuany great works of engineering to
command the admiration Of the
world, particularly in recent years
Many Of these feats are connected
with the traffic Of the great railroad
systems Of the country. Not the
least Of these engineering achieve
nents Is the railroad that is being
built to Key West, Fla, to connect
that remote but important port, the
most sOUtbernly point in the United
States, with the mainland and open
it to direct and rapid communication
With all the balance of the country
the lack of which facility has so far
proven a serious obstacle to the de-
Telopment which its importance as a
pOrt would appear to warrant.
This railroad extension will have
to traverse a distance of sixty miles
of water dotted with innumerable
small islands and keys. The line
will therefore be practically a con-
tinuous trestle or bridge. The
VI AAflAAes Vi " AAAC ca EnuoCS VI NaNGl
is no new thing, the bridge across
Salt Lake in Utah being a case in
point, but none of these long tres
ties can compare with that now
building out from the mainland Of
Florida to Key West. In order to
withstand the heavy seas that are
liable to beat against it, the bridge
work will have to be uncommonly
strong and to be free from the bat
tering Of the waves in the hurricane
season the road bed Of the bridge
will be thirty feet above the Ordin-
ary level of the sea.
There is no obstacle too great
to overcome when backed by un-
limited resources in money and ma
terial. The Key West railroad will
have to be uncOmmonly staunch
work IL Il is to successfully with
stand the stress that it will have to
endure, but as the Flagler interests
are behind the enterprise there is no
doubt at all Of its successful COM
pietiOn. and in fact it is already par
tally built.
A railroad to Key West will
greatly shorten the distance to Ha,
vana, as there will be left only nine
ty miles of sea journey across the
Florida Straits. Aside from its i'm
portance to the Cuban trade Key
West will also become an import
ant port Of call for shipping going to
the Panama Canal or coming into
the Gulf of Mexico. The place has
an excellent harbor and would en-
loy q considerable trade but for the
lack OF railroad communication with
the interior.

PerniciOus Practice of

The British vice consul at Algiers
IS righteously indignant over the fol
lowing note which was found upon the
shores Of the Mediterranean in bot

that a reward would be forthcoming:

ing on peanuts.
The practice Of would be hUmorists
who seal up their effusions in bottles
and then set the bottles adrift at sea
is pernicious, but it seems that it is
impossible to put a stop TO It.
The shipwrecked mariner, when
facing death, has long made a prac
tice Of sealing the report of his mis-.
fortune in a bottle and trusting to
wind and wave to place it within
reach Of someone who could render
assistance, and, in consequence, when
a bottle is found floating at sea it is
almost Invariably picked up and ex.
amined when conditions are such that
this can be done.
The practice of using bottles to
serve the ends Of would be jolzers and
funny people should be stopped, If
there is any way to do it.

DASHED BETWEEN Els oUTSTRETCHED LEGS.
Nothin' amt gOin' to hurt yer!'' This
last to the panic stricken porker which
he had grabbed and slowed beneath
his arm. 1t was only eight months
old.
When they had returned to the back
yard the farmer gave minute direc-
tions to the hired man.
Nov, see here, Andy, you take the
pig around to the parloT window and
drop him inside, and I'll wait out here
with the gun, and when the bar chases
out arter the pig I'll ping the brute.
Git hike onr'
1t worked perfectly-at least the first
part did-for after few minutes OF
awful silence a terrible commOtiOn
filed the house. First there was a re-
sounding crash, as If the whole side
board had gone over, followed by ear
piercing squeals and noise Of falling
dishes.
Jabez had just time to yell: ''Git out
er the way, ma! Holy Jerusalem, here
they comet" when the whole circus
came streaming out of the house.
Alas for the second part of the ar
rangements! The terrified fugitive saw
the farmer and, after the habit of pigs,
sought safety by dashing between his
outstretched legs. Jabez strove to leap
aside, but it was too late. His feet
were knocked from under him, the gun
went of into the clouds, and pursued
and pursuer disappeared in the dis
tance.
When the last lingering squeals had
died away Mrs. Johnesy turned to her
bewildered husband with all the con-
tempt, not unmixed with triumph, she
could throw into her voice:
who's the pig headedest, long leg
gedest, stupidest born fool nowp' she
Vociferated.
Mr.. Johnesy began thoughtfully to
brush the dust of his trousers leg.
"Now, see here, Sarah Ann, didn't

growled the irritated farmer. "An'

at this point poor little Mary Ann
set up a dismal howling.

milk-I want somefi6' to eat! BOo-Oow
1t was getting along near sundown,
ard still the bear showed NO signs Of
evacuating his position. He knew
good thug when he smelt il. and the
house contained many good things in
the line Of Jams and jeliieS which the
thrifty housewife had bottled for the
winter, to say nothing OF cakes and
pies and apples, and it seemed after
ward as II his delicate snOut bad
brought to light everything that bear
might love in kitchen, pantry or cellar.
They all stood glowering in silence
that is, with the exception Of Mary
Ann. Suddenly the old farmer struck
up, while a broad grin rolled around
his face, and he clapped his hand on
his leg.
'I've been a-thinkin' and a-thinkin',
and low as somethin' has to be done,
and thet real smart, and reckon as I
can do it. Come along o. me, Andy"
And he turned and strobe of in the di-
rection of the barn.
Andy and Sarah Ann both followed,
the latter tugging Mary Ann by the
hand.
''Now, jest yer help me catch the
critter," said Jabez as he climbed into
the pigsty. And Andy obedient1y
obeyed.
"Land, what yer goin' to do with

all besides,' while a great rage wened
up in her usually gentle heart, and it
seemed as If a vengeance swift and
terrible was about to descend upon
this innocent, sleepy looking creature.
Like a fash she sprang to a low
bench just inside the door, seized a
wash basin in both hands and flung q
gallon Of soapy water full in the ami
mails face. Spluttering and growing,
the bear retreated into a hack room,
and Mrs. JOhnesy hastily slammed the
door upon her unwelcome visitor, eff
fectually cutting OF his means Of es
cape.
This accomplished, she turned to
Mary Ann, who had been standing at
one side watching the performance
with staring eyes and serious face, and
spoke to her sharply: Now, Jest yer
look here, Mary Ann, and mind what
I'm a-sayin' to yer. Sit right down
there on that stoOp, and don't yer move

Jest love to eat seeh as you. I'm ago
in to git yer pa to come and kill it
dead. Now, mind what / tell yer"
And, with parting glance at the par
lor door, she climbed a snake fence
and hurried across a field Of stubble,
disappearing behind a low hill.
Mary Ann sat dUtifully where she
was put, wIkh her small mind full of
thoughts Of the big doggie," till she
saw the tall figure Of her pa come
bounding over the rise, followed a mo-
ment later by ma, and then Andy val
iantly waving hayfork above his
head.
When they had all collected 4 the
kitchen Jabez suddenly grabbed his

over his honest countenance. Sarah
