FLAGLER'S GREAT WORK.
Ocean Going Railroad Creation of Mas
ter Mind.

Probably the most spectacular rail-
road enterprise ever carried through
in this country is that daring work of
Mr.. Henry NJ. Flagler in extending the
East Coast Line of Florida down to
Key West. The road has been opened
for operation to Knights Key, within
about so miles of Key West. Even on
the unfinished portion a very large part
of the work has been done A line
which runs along the eastern coast of
Florida so far out at sea that the trav-
eler at times will be entirely out Of
sight Of land, a road built under con-
ditions which none but such n genius in
finance and energy as Mr.. Flagler would
ever have been willing to risk, it we'll
merits the statement made by Mr.. Eli
hu Root, when secretary of war, that,
with the exception of the Panama canal
il was the most important business un-
dertaking of the times.
The opening of the line to Knights
Key has already reduced the trip from
New York to Havana to forty-eight
hours. When completed to Key West
and the vast docks which have been
planned by the owner of the road have
been built, a wonderful situation will be
developed Most of the magazine and
newspaper stories which have dealt
with this enterprise have pointed to the
farsightedness of Mr.. Flagler, looking
not to the present but to the future of
Cuba in constructing a road to the far
thermost point Of Florida and the near
est possible point to that island. Des-
tined. as Cuba is, to be a land Of great
wealth and activity by virtue of it's
marvellous resources and of its COM
manding position in the Gulf of MeXi-
CO. this alone would hardly have juSti-
fled the building of this road. Beyond
Cuba Mr. Flagler must have seen in his
mind the time when, with the isthmian
canal completed, there would center in
the gulf of Mexico the commerce Of

Odd Bits From Baby Lips.

Stories of infantile wit and humor are
so popular nowadays. the New York

Little Harry. three-years- old, was

and little cousin were on the steamer
homeward bound from England, and
that he ought to ask for their safety IN
his prayers Accordingly, he included
them nightly in his childish petitions
until they at length arrived. The even
ing after their return he said his pray
ers, as usual at his mothers knee. He
paused a moment, and then she was
astonished to hear:
And, o David, you needn't bother
any more about Aunt Fannie and little
Joe. They dot here all right"
