entire town moved across the Big Horn
river on the Ice Two weeks ago the
town was on the western SIDE OF the
Big Horn, but today IT has settled down
IN It's new home on the eastern bank.
And the railroad is almost here.
Worland is one Of the old towns of
the Big Horn Basin. For years 1t has
awaited the coming Of a railroad, and
when It was announced that the Bur-
lington would construct a line through
worland there was joy and jollifcation.
Then came a reaction. The Burlington
said it was too costly TO bridge the Big
Horn river, and that the railroad would
pass by on the east side The dreams
of the future metropolis faded. and
instead of having a railroad to build il
into city Worland saw another city
on the opposite side of the river, which
'Tould have the coveted road.

A mass meeting was held. A COM
mittee called on the Burlington man
ayers, but the company could not be in
duced TO change the plans and bridge
the river.
It's too bad We amt on the other
side of the river" said every man to
his neighbor.
Worland was in the dumps" for
three weeks. Then one day down at
the Bobcat saloon. when one prominent
citizen was condoling with another over
a glass of "pizen," and the first one
oreathed the now familiar complaint,
Its too bad we amt on the other side
of ther iVer," the second citizen blurted
out:
Well why don't we move over there
then?'
Then they looked at each other with
wide open mouths, and put the glasses
back on the bar. The solution was
river and wait for the coming of the
railroad.
No Interruption to Business.
Dozens of horses were brought in from
the neighboring ranches. Great tree
trunks TO act as rollers were got in the
mountains. Cables and ropes were pre-,
pared. Foremen for the different gangs
were appointed, and the entire popula.

ARE DESERVING IRELAND.
New Impetus to Emigration to Amer
lea, Especially Among the
Young People.

Since the census of 1900 was taken
settled in the United States, the year
ending with July, 1905, showing a lar
ger number than any year since 1895.
A new impetus has been given to Irish
immigration within the past two years,
a turn which is quite perpleXing to
those native Irish societies which have
been unsuccessfully attempting to stop
the great national leak for so many
years. The unrest among the young
native Irish element is still wonderful
ly strong, says Plummer f. Jones, in
The World To-Day.
An American traveller in Ireland is
as much impressed with this fact as he
is with anything else in that country
of remarkable things. Everywhere he
sees and hears of wholesale departures
for the United States. Even in the re-
hottest rural hamlets the old people
can be heard lamenting some recent
exodus of the most promising young
boys and girls. Almost every man or
woman that a traveller meets and talks
with in Ireland has number of bro
theirs or sisters or very near relatives
who have recently left for the United
States.
Emigration agencies exist in every
part of the island. Every village has
steamship agent, to whose advantage
it is to use every inducement to intlu-
ence the young men and women to
emigrate Since their pay must come
from the steamship tickets which they
sell, the agents take good care to see
that many of them are disposed of in
the course of a year. The flaming
posters which they flaunt in the faces
of the young people who are already
FESTIVE and overanxious to go, Offering
the cheapest transportation and, to
their minds, fabulous wages on the
other side of the Atlantic, prove ire
sistible to the average Irish villager.
During the past summer whole vii
lagos in Cavan, Galway and Donegal
have been depopulated, and vast coun-
trysides in Mayo and Roscommon have
been stripped of the remnants of their
old-time armies of farm laborers.

AUTOMATIC RESTAURANTS.
Ingenious Continuance in Berlin
Which Does Away with Tips
and Delays.

In the Technical World Magazine
Friz Morris describes the ingenious
automatic restaurants which have re-
Gently been introduced in Berlin.
Cabinets with glass fronts line the
walls" Mr. Morris writes, "and through
these glass fronts are to be seen rows
and rows of little elevators, with tho
slots and mechanism for working
them. On one side of the restaurant
is fitted an 'automat' bar, where, by
dropping the indicated price into the
proper slot, the wishedfor drink comes
to the waiting customer. Shelves, all
around, on the little elevators, bring up
hot soups, roasts, cold meats, pies,
sandwiches, tea, coffee-in fact, what
ever is on the menu, and that is
changed daily. All the customer has
to do is to decide what he wants, drop
his coin in the little opening, and
await results. In less than a minute
up comes his meal, raised by electrici-
and it comes either steaming hot or ice
and it comes either steaming hot or ice
cold, just as ordered, and clean, fresh
and sweet, with no dirty-handed wait
er, with black cuffs and greasy nap
kin, to take your appetite away while
handing it to you"

All are subject TO the same physical

physical disturbance, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
