Road Follows Trail
The railroad follows the same trail

passing around Lake Bennett the
builders of the railroad were forced
TO cut out the roadbed from the

is the Miles Canyon This canyon
is almost mile long and about 100
feet wide. and the water that flows
through il has a velocity of fifteen
miles an hour. II was in the rapids
Of this canyon that many of the ar

their greatest difficulties. No sooner

Why Trains Are Late.

Train No. 2, on the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, was
held ten minutes at Streator, ILL.,, a
few days ago for a doctor on ac-
count of a dying child, AtEmporia
recently a train lost five minutes
while trainmen assisted an old lady
who was crippled partially blind to
gather her belongings together and
get out of the. coach, At Usage
City another train lost five minutes
because the town cut-ups followed
a newly married couple into the

car to give them a rice shower.
The train pulled out, and had to
stop to let the cut-ups off.
There are scores of similar causes
for delayed trains which the travel
ing public does not always take in
to consideration. The man waiting
at the station for a delayed train
probably would not be impatient if
he knew that the delay was caused
by a funeral party, or a sick man.
1t is not always possible for him to
ascertain at the time why there is
delay, but if he cares to investigate.
he will find that there is a legiti-
mate excuse for nearly every be-
lated train. The operating depart
ment makes strenuous efforts. to
have all trains on time, but as the
trains are run for the accommodation
of the public, time cards cannot al
ways be followed to the dot.
Humanity dictated the delay at
Streator when the child required
attention, even if the delay had
disarranged the service on the en-
tire division. Sometimes a rush OF
business at a small station will
cause a delay of several minutes in
handling baggage. The train can't
pull out and leave a lot of trunks
on the platform just to keep the
/ schedule. The rights of the people
at this little Station must be con,
sidered, although the company may
be subjected to criticism at a dozen
stations on account of late trains.
/ Trainmen have their troubles
same as other folks, and they ask
the travelling public to be patient
when the train happens to be late
for there generally is a good reason
| for not making the schedule. Think
| it over, Mr.. Traveller, maybe you
have delayed a train, by arriving al
the depot with your baggage after
the train pulled in. You are hu.
man. So is the railroad man. You
and the railroad man should under,
stand each other better. Be calm
therefore both Of you.-LaPlata

Scion of Napoleon Aid Dying.

Chicago, ILL.,. April 27.-Mrs.
Margaret Schwede, SO years old,
whose father is said to have been
the secretary of Napoleon Bonaparte,
was found unconscious yesterday
in a room with a gas jet turned on
full force.
Neighbors discovered the odor
and broke into the room, on the
walls of which were small oil paint
ings of Napoleon and her father.
At the hospital to which the
woman was. removed it was said
there was small hope for her recov-
cry. Several days ago Mrs. Schwede
told a neighbor that death was
all that remained for her. For
months she eked out a pre-
carious existence by renting
rooms, but her dodgers gradually
drifted elsewhere, and becoming in
arrears for rent. the landlord had
told her she must move May /.
Mrs Schwede's husband lost his
fortune in Louisiana during the
Civil war, and later committed
suicide.

The writer doesn't know whether
parents of small children ever warn
their little ones in regard to the
danger of being run over by auto
mobiles in this town or not, but he
does know that some of these little

al instruction along that line. Only

six years of age was observed to
stop in the middle of a crossing
near the First Baptist Church
directly in the course of rapidly
approaching auto and refused to
move out of the way despite the
