First Train on the w. & N.

A big locomotive throwing out
great clouds of smoke and draw
ng train of Is new cars and
caboose, was a sight witnessed
yesterday on the new Wisconsin
and Northern railroad which
made the natives sit up and take
notice. The new engine is a
mammoth and powerful one and
in its coat of shining black paint
with silver lettering, presents a
scene to quickly offset any sus-
picion that the new road propos
es to use cast off rolling stock.
The cars are of the latest type
and the best and strongest that
money can buy. They are of so,
900 pounds capacity and are all
equipped with air brakes and aut-
omatic couplers. The cars are
flats and will be used chiefly in
carrying material along the road.

one and in keeping with the other

IN the work of grading between
this city and Gresham. Rails
have been laid from the switch
connecting the Northwestern
road, east of the water tank, to a
point beyond the bridge cross

is only temporary, the ties not
as yet being tampted or ballast

much of task and will not re.
quire much time to finish.

ploding the ungrounded theory
that the new company proposed
building the line on cheap and
shoddy plan. The appearance
of the locomotive and cars has
awakened an added interest in
the new line and given an extra
assurance that regular trains
will be running before the snow
flies. -Shawano Journal.

SOME BRIEF FABLES.


cTo which anybody is privileged to ap-
pend his own morals. If he has any)
JovE AND REPRESENTATIVE CITI-
ZEN
A certain man appeared before great
Jove and complained bitterly.
what is the matter?'" Jove inquired.
"Alasl' the man responded, ''the men
that thou hast made, they are a SCRUB
lot. They deceive and beat one another
in trade. and call it business; they pre-
tend to worship thee. but they really wor-
ship a g1ittering god called Cash; they do
things which they do not mention in their
advertisements, and they oftentimes are
unnice. I pray thee, great Jove. tnae
thou wilt improve the stock, If such
thing be possible"
..Who art thou?' Jove asked
"I am well known as Representative
Citizen
.sYou are Representative Citizen.
.sYou bet I am! Everybody recognizes
the fact
This being the case" Jove remarked,
after some deliberation, Il do not see
much hope for humanity"
So the Representative Citizen sadly de-
parted.
MAN AND THE OTHER ANIMALS.
.It fills me with regret" remarked
a thoughtful traveller to his companion.
that the lower animal creation does not
appear to love man, not withstanding his
great kindness of heart and undeniable
tenderness of nature The birds fly at his
approach, and the brutes hasten to fee
from him. 1t is sad. is it not?'
Indeed it is
Eyes; we lose many good shot in that
way. 1t also is strange. Don't you think

..It certainly is. BY the way, what is
that implement you carry on your
shoulder"
"It is a gun. remarkably fine one.

"And what is the thing you carry in
your belt?'
at is a knife. You see. 1 wish to inn
prove my marksmanship, and / also de-
sire to be prepared to defend myself in
the event that I am attacked by a bird
or a rabbit, or some wild creature of that
sort. 1t is an unspeakable pity. is 1t not.
that the lower creation will not submit
itself to the humanizing and uplifting in
huence of MANI"
The other traveller said that 1t was.
THE ACTIVE REFoRMER.
A man stood in the center of field
where everybody could see and hear him.
and yelled, shouted. hallooed and whoop-
lrfo
and stirring up a dense cloud Of very
opaque dust.
..Who are you?'' passer inquired.
.I am a Reformer." was the awe-in-
spired response.
What are you doing nuw?"
Getting ready to reform things"
Are things reformed in that way?"
We'll, not exactly / admit. but, as
far as / am concerned. 1t amounts to
about the same thing"
How so?'
well, lots of the people think things
are reformed in this way. and so II
yell loud enough they elect me to office,
and then you can bet that the need for
reformation of which I am shouting
will be no dream
Il see.' said the passer; but why do
you kick up the dust?'
THAT is to blind the eyes of the peo-
ple.'
Does 1t work?"
quite generally"
So, as the passer felt the need of an
Office, he, too, stirred up a cloud Of dust
and was hidden by it, while his whoops
and halloos left no room for silence in
that neighborhood.
