Reminder of New York in the Desert.

Travelling recc ely on donkey
back across a trackless portion of the
Conchilla desert, in southeastern Cali
fornia, we sighted ahead of us above
the sage brush a nondescript object
which OH nearer approach resolved
itself into two dilapidated trolley
cars. They formed the equipment of
a ''horse railway" across the sand ten
or twelve years ago to connect a
solitary station on the Southern
Pacific railway with an agricultural
colony several miles distant. The
farming enterprise failed utterly and
the horse railway" with it. The in
congruous sight of these two abandon
ed cars in the midst of drifting sands
was all that remained to tell the tale
of shattered hope. - World Wide

The Way of a Woman.

Foolishly he asked for kiss; nat urally she said mo-" bravely he took it, anyway; angrily she put him away !; scornfully she told him what she thought of such action. and meekly he stood for the same old bluff.
 Il am surprised and mad at you," she sa1d. aud she looked every bit of it. II don't think a gentleman would do such thing and now. if you are going to stay here this evening, don't want you even to touch me, but let us sit here and talk like sensible people,"
 Thoroughly cowed, he agreed.
 Seeing, however, that she had carried her little bluff too far and he was taking her seriously, she made use of bright idea.
 "Will you promise to be good now ?" she asked.
 "Yes."
 "Well, let's shake hands on it."
 Solemnly they shook hands.
 "Now," she said. with cunning and meaning little twinkle in her eye. "you have touched me already and broken your promise. So, being as you have gone that far, you might as well go ahead and break the rest of your agree ment"

He moved that the sum of $500 be ap- propriated for the installation of steel fixtures. The motion was carried with out dissenting voice.
 MT. Wallace Canfield brought up the subject of the state road, and offered 8 resolution that the highway commits sioner be requested to commence the ex. penditure of some of the money which the town has already voted to appropri- ate, as soon as practicable, and begin on such roads in the town as he may deem advisable.
 Mr. Roraback moved an amendment, that the selectmen be instructed to com. municate with the highway commisslon- ar, with regard to the roads, and report to future town meeting. He said the commissioner is clearly within his legal rights in refusing to take dictation as to where aud how the roads shall be built.
 There was considerable discussion of the road question and the commissioner attitude. MT. Bronson referred sarcasti- cally to the new bridge at East Canaan. which was built by authority of the highway commissioner. "I don't know much about building bridges" he said. "but could beat that"
 The amended motion was carried, on a yea and nay vote, leaving the whole matter in the hands of the seiectmeu, with instructions to confer with the highway commissioner as early as possi- ble.

The Reason,

Here is one that is told by Congress. man James A. Hughes of West Virginia, the other night in demonstrating that imagination plays large part in the life of every man. One afternoon, according to the story told by the Con- gressman, Uncle Josh and Cousin Hez met at the corner grocery, and after comparing notes on crops and San Jose scale the topic turned to personal health. "As for me-" said Uncle Josh. II have been feelin' fair to middlin." How hev you been yerself ?' "Purty porly, Josh," answered Hez, with a prolonged sigh.
 II was feelin' all right day or so ago, but jes' now I seem ter have symptoms of rheumatiz. lumbager, dyspeepsy. ringworm, brankeetus an, some more things that kain't remem- ber." "Ye don't mean it.. Hez p mpathetically responded Josh.

 He remonstrated with them. and told them that drink was their worst enemy. Observing the doctors clerical garb, one of them replied that he always loved his enemies.
 "Yes." replied the doctor, "but not enough to swallow them."
