The animal struck him, and as he

Ripping through glen somewhere
Fills the poets breast with glee
Her laughter makes him glad:
In her eyes he seems TO see
Beauty they have never had;
Though she has no charms for you,
Let him dream as lovers do
He supposes that her face
Might inspire a poets pen:
He is dreaming that her grace
Is thing to gladden. men.
All, her nose was never cast
In the graceful classic mold.

Beauty gilds all earthly things;
Everywhere he hears the whir
Ceaselessly of angels wings.

There is music for his ears:

The requirements have been com
piled with, the surveyors are IN the
field and actual construction will be
gin within few days and be rushed
as rapidly as possible until the track
is laid into the town of NezPerce-
This briefly tells what progress the
citizens of Nezperce prairie have
made towards getting a railroad In
less than three weeks after they took
the matter into their own hands. The
provisos of former attempts to build
a railroad here are no longer coupled
with the present undertaking, neither
is there any fear that the railroad
company might withdraw from this
field after the work has started, as
all of 2. A. Johnson's interests are
here and it means more to him than
it does to any other individual. L
is now looked upon as a certainty
that the road viii be built and
already former residents who had
left here on account of not having
any railroad transportation are re-
turning, and many inquiries are be-
ing made daily by others from differ
ent sections regarding business
opportunities and locations here
Nezperce has the country surround
ing it, the best location on the
prairie, the only system of electric
lights and water works on the prairie
and the right sort of people in and
around it to make it a good town,
the only drawback having been the
railroad and nov since that is CON-
ing "Just keep your eye on Nez-
perez"

1t means more to be a citizen Of
NezPerce prairie today than it has
ever meant. ANY one who is sorry
he is a resident of it has our per-
mission to move of tomorrow.
