But does the O.-W. cont-mpIat3
abandoning th? Btatlon at Union Junc
tion, That la the question of Import
ance Jus', now, and one of great inter
est to our people.
Thcr: are two sides to this matter
tha side of the Central railroad com-i
pany. and the std? of the people c the
city of Union. ; " - !
On the Bra' aide w-ei have a losing
railroad proposition conducted in a
tanne, 'hut has been a source of hu
miliation to our town. Under tha new
plan, th company promises a better
service at practically the same ras
cheaper In 'some respects. By th long
haul the company evidently hopes to
change a losing proposition to one
that will pay Ita way. .
On the other sld 1, we have a s at'on
known as Union station or Union Junc
tion on the O.-W. road that may pos
sibly be 'abandoned under the new
rule, and all Union traffic will come
ind ko via Hot Laks, The eff.ct on

Evidently we cannot make thei Cen-'
tral company maintain the road to
Union Junction can we induce the1
O. W. R. & X. so maintain the station
ag before?
These are poiniu to bt considered.
All of our peonle favor the reten
tion of the O. W. R. & N. station and
' will right hard to that end, but with
that accomplished we are up against
tho matter of transportation to and
from the station.
The question in a nutshell Is this:
I many believe will accrue from tht

.j, i The Republican Is not reconciled
.yet to giving up the station at Union
; Junction, but realizes tb: handicap of
be-
j,;tweeu that s atlon and the city. And

to point ovt any possible: mfnace to

worn the crown, and royal bouors ar

a king named Thomas? Oscars and
even Haakens ascend the dais, but
ever through all the centuries Thomas
remains the subject, sometimes strug
gling up to a bishopric or an earldom,
but never attaining the crown. Nicho
lases wear the imperial purple; God
freys lord it over Jerusalem; Alexis
struts In ermine; Alexanders fare forth

Thomas, has never a crown to his

Cards and Card Playing.
In a paper In the Journal of the Roy
al Society of Arts Professor H. Cheney,
discussing the part played by gambling
In magic, observes; 'The use of curds
Is said to be derived from the Turot
cards, which were originally employed
for occult purposes. The legend which
ascribes the Invention of cards to tbe
purpose of amusing a tnad king does
not seem at all a sufficient explaoa
lion, and there Is In addition the fact
that cards of n kind existed before the
said king. In further support of this
Idea the well known .practice of telling
fortunes by cards may probably lie re
garded as a survlvul of u regular form
of divination by such means. It seems.
h faci. that card pluylug for stake t
a mere development of a ceremony u
which individuals consulting tbe ora
