If these offers continue to come in the firm expresses the opinion that the line will be a success.

These rates were made low for the purpose of coiieen-tr-ilino; products her- for reshipment to eastern points by rail, and traffic officials of the railroad tend that it v-ould be bad faith on the part of the shippers lo avail themselves of these rates for the purpose of water ship ment.

Instructors In the art of literary rouipoaltlnn usually condemn a string of monosyllables, but In the well known hymn "Lead. Kindly Light," written by a master of the English language, you may count thirty con secutive words of one syllable only. They offend neither the eye nor the ear. Milton often uses a series nf mono syllables. In the second book of "Par adise Lost" we have: The fiend O'er boa or steep, through strait, roush. dense or rare. With head, hands, wings or feet pursues his way And swims or sinks or wades or creeps or (lies. Such lines nre not uncommon In the book : Rocks, caves, lakes, fens, bogs, dens and shades of death. And again: Of neither sea nor shore nor air nor fire. London Notes and Queries. Courtship In Ireland. An Irish boy marries when he has a rid house and an Irish girl Junt when she pleases.
