MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle OF the car, the pic.
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits Of stifled laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently SO funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
Of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup.
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an.
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darky still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

Denver: The News of Friday says:
An important railway project, which
promises to be a big feeder for the
Moffat road, is outlined in an amend
mcnt to the articles of Incorporation
of the Rocky Mountain Railway Com
pany, filed yesterday in the Office OF
the secretary of state. The company
Is backed by number of capitalists,
at the head. of whom is r. s. Waite
meyer of Boulder. Mr.. Waltemeyer is
president of the company, and J. T.
Waltemeyer, relative,y holds the Of
fee Of secretary.
The connection with the Moffat road,
1t Is stated, is to be made in Grand
county. The line will extend to Grand
lake, thence to Walden, Larimer
county; thence to Fort Collins or
Loveland, or both; thence to Hahn's
peak; thence to the western boundary
of the state. The vote for the amend
mont thus enlarging the plans was
practically unanimous at a meeting of
the stockholders held IA few DAYS ago
in Boulder.
The Waltemeyer interests own the
Bueno mine at Jimtown, and have
about completed a big cyanide mill
and other buildings upon the property.
They also own a big sawmill in Routt
county.
1t is understood that a large sum
of money is on hand for the immediate
construction of the railroad, and the
project, consequently, has attracted a
great deal of attention among the rail-
way men of the state
