The sense OF the conference between
the prime movers of the building of
the several proposed interurban
routes, was that immediate action
should be taken to organize a stock
company and with the securing of one
third of the money necessary for con-
struction, work will be commenced on
the first of the roads, that between
keokuh and Carthage.

To Benefit Community.

To Benefit Community.
Although interurban line building in
this section of the country will pay
large dividends, it is stated and well
known those who represented the sew
eral towns of Illinois at Tuesdays
meeting, expressed themselves heart
lily in favor of investment in the pro-
Jects whether or not the returns
would be more than the individual
amounts invested
There seemed to be a prevailing
spirit that paying or not paying, the
lines in view should be built as their
construction will mean more than dol
lars and cents to the community.
1t is this fact that gives rise to the
belief that there will be no trouble in
instituting stock organization at its
first meeting in the future and the
projects launched at once

day in and day out by transmission through
the clouds.
In course of his investigations he dis
covered that he was not the first Post
master General TO whom lcarian PROPOSE
tons had been made. Records in his
lcDartment show that as far back aj 1915
.hd lS49 men in this country informed the
PoStmaSters General thac thy had dis
covered a safe and sane method for rising
out of the golden dawn like bird and
carrying the mails on flashing wings as far
as the opalescent sunset. They could. they
said, tiptoe from cloud to cloud and do a
rigadoon down the Milky Way. They could
light their cigars rom the effulgcnt bril-
lance of the sun and cut the figure eight
round the unSuSpecting man in the moon
Laden with letters and parcels, they could
kick a star out OF its accustomed course
and, graSping a rcdhot comet by the tail,
crack of its head TO make way for the
United States Government and its business.
For small compensation they could make
a shooting star look as speedy as tortoise,
and they assured the department that they
would fly 50 high as to make robbery OF the
mails during transmission utterly impoS-
Sible The weather would damage neither
letters nor packages; for, borne on the
pirouetting pinions Of genius, they would
be carried above the moisture line, and the
matter Of Sidestepping a thunderbolt could
be arranged with shocking ease.

lighter side to departures eastward Often before mid
Atlantic is reached, when the travellers have become
acquainted, surprises are plentiful Some one meets
friend he had not in decade. Occasionally he IS
introduced to an intimate friend of intimate friend OF
his father namesake meets him face 10 face on deck
and the family tree is pruned again and watered But
such affairs trivial when one recalls the surprise
of well known yachtsman who sailed on the rSt east
ward trip of the Lusitanla.
Enthusiastic over the great speed Of her trial trip
he booked passage long in advance and spent weeks IN
preparing for the Journey. He left home on sailing
day without bidding his wife goodby. She had prom
ised to meet him at the pier. Crowds poured in
rapidly The old man roamed amleSsly in the chatter
ing throng until sailing hour and at the last call rushed
aboard without finding his wife. He wrote her long
letter hurredly expressing his regrets and sent 1t ashore
with the pilot, of Sandy Hook.
On the way back to his satcroom the yachtsman met
an actress. He had known her in Chicago some years
ago. She was on her way to London alone and by com
pairing notes found that she had seat next TO his IN
the dining saloon. II was splendid. After breakfast
next morning as he and his hisronic friend were taking
a constitutional the venerable yachtsman met the
purser whom he had known for many years
"Helo, Rufus. old boy said the purScr. You
seem to stand the gaff well. Didn't see the mlsSus
down to breakfast this morning. Saw her last night,
though and she certainly looks well.
81 guess YOU mistaken, SAID the old man.
"Ths lady is not my wife Allow me to present Miss
Youngstar leading lady of the Central Stock Company
of Chicago
The purser acknowledged the introduction suavcy,
called the old man aside and said with an involuntary
smile I'm not testing, skipper Pom my word saw
your missus aboard last night She's on Deck,
room one hundred and six
"Up to your old tricks laughed the yachtsman.
But the Joke is stale Then, taking the actress by
the arm, the old man walked aft.
A minute later as he and the woman swung round
to the wndward side half gale separated them and
swept the graybcard full against a porty woman, who
slipped and sprawled supinely on the deck The gal
liant yachtsman begged thousand pardonS 1t was
a most unfortunate occurence-and no one realized
it more than he as he assisted the her feet
and found himself actually apoogizng to his wife OF
course he did not know the horrd creature who held
his arm, and moreover he didn't care. The wife ex-
plancd that she had been looking for him aboard the
steamer sailing hour and not finding him had madeu up
