A Very Lucky Smoke.

A curious story comes from Vienna.
A young man, the representative OF a
famous firm. who carried a large sum
OF money with him. spent the night at
q hotel at Pressburg. According to his
usual custom. he remained some time
smoking in bed. Suddenly the burn
ing cigar fell to the floor. He bent
over to %extinguish It when he saw a
hand project from under the bed and
put out the fire. 1t made him very
uncomfortable, and he lay for fifteen
minutes thinking. Then he said aloud:
"How very cold it is! must get my
fur coat Jumping out Of bed, he ran
to the door. opened it and shouted FOR
help, and the robber was caught. he
confessed his crime and then added
that lie had been a fireman formerly
ana could not resist the impulse to ex.
tinguish the burning cigar. .

northern OAK, Line
SOLO To 500 Ry.?

ENDBERG, Feb. l.--Rumors are
rife to the effect that the Northern
Dakota line from here to Concrete
has been sold to the 500 railroad
with a view to the latter extending the
line into Canada.
While the report of the transfer
canot be verified, it is nevertheless
plausible enough, inasmuch as such
transaction is in conformity with
plans made and efforts made to this
end some three years ago.
Should this prove true a cutoff
will undoubtedly be made at. either
Fordville or Lankin and a line built
to connect with the n. d. line here.
The extension Of the road and the
transfer of it into other hands would
be welcomed by all contiguous to any
of the towns on the line, who r now
paying excessive freight rates and
getting a service that is extremely un-
satisfactory in every respect.
