Not So lmpartial.

With equal force upon the just
And on the unjust. too,
The wet and gentle rain comes down.
Likewise the morning dew.
It's different with the sprinkling cart
1t doesn't leak a bit
Except before the lots of those
Who pay the price for it.
The summer breezes play upon
The lowly and the great,
And eve the cyclone itself
Does not discriminate.
But take the big electric fan,
Its currents do not blow
Except upon the gentleman
Who pays to make it 60.
The forest with it's ample arms
Extends its shade for all,
And to h humble and the rich
1t whispers low its call.
But those who have to WELD the sledge
The shuttle or the hoe
Can only send 1t their regrets;
They haven't time to go.
And SO 1t is with everything;
Just take it down the line;
The sunshine and the air are free
And doubtless very fine,
But If you wan them to come round
And all their pleasures spill
Just have your uncle die and leave
You money in his will.

Illinois Central Railway Using Wa
ter Washed Gravel.
Prospects of a dustless roadbed with
out the use of oil or cut stone is pleas
ing officers Of the Illinois Central road.
Though gravel Is conceded to make the
easiest riding roadbed. its dust has
made 1t a nuisance to the travelling
public.
Recently the Illinois Central COM
pany began taking gravel out of the
Mississippi river at the Memphis bars
with Il centrifugal pump. The gravel,
being washed for centuries, is free
from soil. The only thing on it is sand.
and all but % per cent Of this is wash
ed of after it is taken from the river.
The first Of this new ballast is being
used on the Yazoo Valley line. 1t is
clear and clean and dustless. Gravel
taken from pits has soil clinging to it
which never be washed off, mean
Ing that the track under which it is
placed must always be dusty.
AS the pumping betters the river
channel. the Illinois Central is free to
take all it wants from the Mississippi.
The e found ballast will be used on
all lines of the system.

There was Il annoying feature for
Eve while she lived in the garden.
She couldn't do any trading with the
old clothes man.
When YOU jump 1T a chance you are
apt to fall upon Il conclusion.
No one can say nothing quickly.
Everybody is always ready to take
q whack at reputation.
The world has just as much use for
you RS you have for the world.
Cheapness is anything but a recon-
mendation for some things.
In this unpoetic age the man who
can make two blades Of grass grow
