There is one railroad in this grand
country of fool legislation and tinan-
cial panics, that is not to be deferred
in doing good, and that is the old reli-
able n. g. G. This railroad keeps
right on building its branch from Ira
cy City to Pryor Ridge, ten miles long,
and extensions at Eastland and Ravens
croft, as we'll as terminals at DeRoss-
EFT, regardless Of the fact that the
Great American Eagle as signitied by
the dollar, has HE'D himself to parts
unknown, from which he seems ex-
tremely loath to emerge. Another
point might be also mentioned. The
N. &. G. has never yet failed to do
the square thing for the newspaper
men, who did not abuse its courtesies,
something different from other roads
we know of.

bride, who had just been married in a
western town. were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
10 reach the train In safety despite tho
showers of rice and old shoes.
Just rs they had taken their seats In
the car one OF the bridegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. AS
the young husband extended his hand
| the friend snapped handcuGr round
his wrist
The groom had been suspecting a
trick OF some kind. and before the
practical Joker could play similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuT snapped round his own wrist.
| He was chained to the happy bride
! groom himself.
