Southern Railroad.

New York, Dec. 19.-Leading inter
ests in the Colorado and Southern
Railway company, including Edwin
Hawley, who is said to be the largest
individual stakeholder, and Frank
Trumbull. the president of the road,
announced the sale of the road to the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road
The acquisition of the road by the
Burlington gives the Hill system, the
Burlington being owned by the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railway companies, its long desired
outlet to the Texas coast. It will bear
practically the same relationship to
the Hill lines in the Gulf of Mexico
territory that the Illinois Central
bears to the Hartman system Until
this announcement, however, it was
generally supposed that James j.
Hills plan to get to the Gulf was by
the purchase of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad.

ADJUSTED HIS CANE.
Then the Man From Berlin Explained
Why He Did Il.

SHcH tnc WAT from Seritn explained
Why He Did II.
A man stood before a shop window
with his cane sticking out from under
his arm. A stout. blond gentleman in
passing struck the cane smartly with
his own. restoring 1t from Its ohstruc-
tive horizontal position to the proper
vertical one.
Say, what's the matter with you?
You're the freshest guy / ever saw.
Are you looking for trouble?"
Thus said the man whose cane had
been tapped. But he who had tapped
1t. speaking with German accent. an
swered gently:
why. sir. did nothing but restore
your cane to its right inclination. Alb
sently you were holding 1t under your
arm. 1t was jahbing people In the
breast. the back. even the eye, and yet
you meant no harm.
Well stopped that nuisance which
yur were unconsciously committing. In
Berlin 1t Is the custom always to stop
1t SO. And no one takes offense. On
the contrary, In Berlin the correction b
received with smile and word OF
thanks Isn't 1t SO here?"
No. it isn't" said the other, "but It
should be thank yoM. sir. myself, and
l apologize. New York Press,
