Breaking Into Traffic on Lower
Part of River.

Captain D. W. Wisherd, traffic
manager for rthe Streckfus Steamboat
lines, arrived here this morning
from st. Louis. He states that on
Sept. l 4 the steamer Quincy will be
placed in the service from st. Louis
to New Orleans. The round trip will
cover about y days, the plan being
TO leave st. Louis every IA days. If
business justifies the st. Paul will
also be placed on this run and boats
will leave every seven days. From
the present outlook Mr.. Wisherd
thinks that the St. Paul will IN
dcubtedly be put into the service.
Reservations are already being made
for the initial trip and the plan is
to canvass not only the river towns
but the inland towns as well The
company has been receiving a great
may inquiries in regard to the trip.
A few days ago one was received
from San Francisco.
OF HISTORICAL INTEREST.
1t is believed that this run will
prove a great drawing card for al
though the upper Mississippi is not
ed for its beautiful scenery the low
er channel will appeal TO a great
many because of the many points of
historical interest. A great many
people are expected 10 take advan-
tage Of this new run, especially
those who winter in Florida and
other southern ports
The Streckfus lines will have to
compete with several already long
established lines between ST. Louis
and New Orleans but because Of the
class of the company's steamers no
trouble is expected in breaking into
the business.

Out there on the battle line,

And know the applause is mine.

And I yearn for a strong mans

In the maze of this worldly race.

When none shall advise or counsel

And the strength that I have is

But 1 chafe by day at the binding

OF youth that holds me back,
And I'm yearning now for the open
plains,
I'm tired of the beaten track.
Great are the deeds that 1 want to do,
And high are the hills I'd climb;
But men reply when my youth they
view:
You must patiently bide your
time"
/ want to be where the big men are,
Where the fight is a thing worth
while,
Where glory waits if you journey far
And fortune is sure to smile.
But slow, so slow are the steps 1

And light are my burdens, too;
And many a night lie awake
Planning wonderful things to do,
For the great unrest is in my breast,
shall never know peace again
Till I've the right to a strong mans
And taken my place with men.
