LonQ Journey.

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn
is being considered, and sometime
we may be able to take through
sleeper from one end Of the American
continent to the other, In that case
we would sample all kinds Of climates
from arctic to tropical and We would
encounter endless variety Of surface
and scenery. Popular Mechanics says
that several routes for such rail-
road are being considered, but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized. The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like dream, but II we
smile over it we might remember that
men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes
when he suggested railroad from the
Cape of Good Hope to Cairo-the en-
tire length of Africa-but that road
is now being built--is more than half
done, indeed.

HONESTY HAD ITS LIMITS
Woman Resisted Temptation for a
Time, but Finally Proved Her
self Human.

Somebody on the back platform
dropped a bundle. A woman saw it
and picked 1t up. She was an honest
woman; nevertheless she opened the
package. 1t contained a waist pattern
of very pretty silk. When she saw
that she thanked her guardian angel
she had been created honest.
IF l had been an ordinary dishon-
est thing" she told her husband, 81
should keep this silk as sure as any
thing and make it up for myself"
But since you aren't" said the
man, what are you going to do with
it,"
"Oh, take II back to the lost and
found department of the store where
it was bought. The purchaser will
probably inquire about it there
One evening about two weeks later
the woman appeared at dinner in a
new waist.
Hello" said the man admiringly,
seems to me have seen that before.
Isn't it something like the piece OF silk
you found?'
1T is just like it, sighed the won.

"A Good. Swell Name"

During an engagement played by
William Collier in Atlanta, the player
one day was shaved by a loquacious
darby who asked the comedian to sug-
gest a good, swell name" for his
shop. At that very moment the razor
slipped and the suds were succeeded
by alum.
Mr.. Collier made no complaint, but
when he escaped from the chair he
wrote, in compliance with the BARRIERS
request, couple of words on a piece
of paper. The barber was delighted
by the suggestion, which he declared
he would forthwith adopt.
The words were "Tonsorial Abat-
toir."

along general lines OF road improve
ment. Il. II. Astin, member OF the
board OF directors OF the A. & NJ. Col.
lege. asked for an expression as to the
wisdom and feasibility Of the county
issuing $4,000 in bonds for building
a permanent highway TO the college.
Mr.. Astir pointed out the great neces-
sity In Brazos County showing the
nroper rride In this institution. He
stated that II the college had been
located in many OF the counties OF
Texas that such highway would
have been built years ago. He called
attention to the fact that II such high
way Is not built that visitors to. Bryan
and College will naturally draw the
inference that our people do not
properly appreciate this institution.
Following Mr.. Astin's talk, ]. 7.
Lawler offered motion to the effect
that the committee arrange for a
postal card ballot to be taken among
the citizens OF the county to ascertain
the sentiment on this particular mat
ter.
At the suggestion OF Judge Maloney
this motion was amended TO include
postal card ballot to determine the
sentiment for a bond issue to build
good roads In the entire county.
The Commercial Club will prepare
such ballot and mail cards to every
voter in the county, so that he may
indicate his opinion on these two prop.
ositions.
IL is planned to have this straw
ballot taken at once, so the report
will be available on Saturday. July II,
at . p. m, when the committee will
hold another meeting in the CONNER
cial Club room.
The meeting then adjourned, and
those present accepted the invitation
of Secretary Mcknight to visit the ice
cream parlor as guests of the Com.
mercial Club.
These committee meetings are be-
ing held for the purpose OF ascertain.
ing the general sentiment for good
roads in Brazos County as a whole,
or in such precincts as may find II
advisable to call for bond issues.
The chairman of this committee
