The condemnation suit of the Cairo

City presiding.
| The taking of testimony was rather
an interesting feature yesterday. w
w. Wilbourn, of Olive Branch testi
| fled that he had two hundred acres OF
farmland through which two railroads
pass and he considered that the value
Of his land for farming purposes de-
preciated fully 30 per cent as result
of this fact Mr.. Wilbourn made a
good witness for the defense.
John Holden, we'll known farmer
residing between Olive Branch and
Unity, kept the jury lawyers and
spectators in constant laughter He
and Attorney Leek, who was exam
ming him spared back and forth In a
funny manner that helped enliven the
occasion. MIR. Holden evidently was
another man who believes that its a
bad thing 10 cut up farm lands with
railroads but he persisted in making
his answers too voluble and Attorney
Leek in his gentle manner sal firmly
down upon his eloquence several
times.

two others who wrere interested In the
property at issue But when a bunch
of Attorney Leek's witnesses get up

of having railroad cut your farm into

characteristics of railroads that only

Once there was little Boy.
And the particular thing about
this particular little Boy was that he
always wore blue glasses. They
were placed over his eyes BY bad
fairy when he first began to notice
things, and so he saw everything
blue--every single thing In the
world
He didn't know a thing about red
and yellow, or all the other Jolly
colors. The trees were blue to him.
the flowers were blue, the whole
earth, everything everywhere, was
blue, blue, blue.
His mother died before he had
begun to notice things, and there was
nobody to tell what was the matter,
because no other people care rs
mothers do. and he grew up very un-
happy, Nothing went right with him
He did not enjoy playing with tho
little blue boys, and the little blue
girls with their floating blue hair
were disagreeable To look at, 80 be
sat BY himself nearly all OF nearly
every day, with his eyes on the

One day as he sat thus in the
garden, he heard a voice very far

time he noticed tho great high dome
OF the blue sky Now, 1t was right
that the sky should be blue, and

Hoyt. Then he told his story.
1t was befoAe the days of electric and
gasoline motors and he had bought a
little steam yacht. He engaged as bis
engineer one of bis Yankee neighbors
and offered him liberal wages, With
the provision that the engineer should
find his own coal. 1t was a long way
to the nearest coal yard, and Mr.. Hoyt

to keep his own furnace fed.

So the bargain WAS struck. All went

two or three scuttlefuls remained. The
theft was speedily traced to the engt-
