AROUND THE EARTH.
Not long .since Senator Stan
ford, in talking about the possibil
ities of railroading, said it will not
be long till a railroad will reach
all the way up to Alaska. When
it gets there, it will trend across
Behring Sea, and down into Asia.
All this, I believe, will be done in
twenty-five years, and there will
be literally an iron girdle round
the earth. It's no harder to build
a road down the Himalayay than
to -build across the Sierra Nevadas
or other places where roads have
been built. Snow sheds can and
will be built the same as we have
have over the Sierra Nevadas for
forty miles. Behring Sea is the
worst obstacle, but a way would
be found to conquer even that.
The reason why the road through
is feasible is because it would be a
long line and could be deflected
according to the obstacles to be
overcome, l nave no aouot mat
in twenty five years a man can go
clear round the earth by rail."
There is a man in Sing Sing
who proposes to make it hot for
somebody when he sets out. He
says he was sentenced to hard
labor, and he wants it, and what
is more, it he does not get it he
will go into court and find out the
retison why. Compulsory idle
ness in our penal institutions is an
iniquitous system born of dem: -gogism,
and if this cdnvict on his
release does as he promises and
takes his case into court a decision
may be reached that will b.e of
great good. Some convicts have
plenty of nerve; it is hoped this
one has enough to do ,as he prom
ises. There are 60,795,300 acres of
.vacant public land in 'Oregon.
Plenty of room for the overflow
from the east.

Children Cry for
THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR.
My grandmother sat in the old rocking
chair
(But she was not my grandmother then),
And her pert little lace was bewitchingly
fair
As she laughed a defiance to men.
Her sunbonnht flutter'd like bird on its
string,
Her hair wandered free on the breeze;
And gayly I ween did my grandmother sing
Underneath those old gnarl'd apple trees.
My grandfather rode through the white or
chard gate;
And tethered his roan to a tree;
He'd a well powder'd wig on his silly young
pate.
And high tassel'd hoots to his knee;
From the pink apple blossoms that over him
hung,
He brush'd oil' the dew with his hat,
Till he came to the place where the rocking
chair swung,
And my merry young grandmother sat.
The kiupcup and daisy bloomed round in
their pride,
Aud bees of their sweetness did sip;
But my grandmother blush 'd and my grand
father sigh'd,
As he flick'd off their heads with his
whip,
My granny she hummed her a cunning old
song
"faint heart never won ladye fair!"
So he wooed and he prayed, and before very
long
There sat two' in that old rocking chair!
John Gerald Brennan.
What a Wooing.
Miss Mixon had just been listen
ing to her neighbor, Mrs. Popple
ton, relate how she had been both
ered by a persistent chromo man
with a bald head who could not be
persuaded to go until he -had sold
something. She made up her
mind to make things warm for
that man if he ever attempted to
show himsejf in her house.
When she got home again, how
ever, she had forgotten all about
her conversation, being so inter
ested in fixing up her best dress
that she was to wear to the par
sonage on the morrow. There was
going to be a high time there in
honor of Mr. Todgilt, the mission
ary from Japan, whose motive in
returning to this country was part
'y to get a wife. .
Miss Mixon was in the midst of
a delightful reverie when a hoarse
cough interrupted her thoughts.
A neatly dressed individual with
a round face and bald head was
bowing in the door way.
"The chromo man," she ex
claimed, half to herself.
. "Madam," he begaB.
"No, I don't want anything. Go
away!" she cried, angrily sramp-
ing her foot.
"I beg your pardon, madam,
but"
Miss Mixon bethought herself
here of a ruse which she had some
times found eminently successful
in case of persistent tramps.
"Here, Bose! Bose!" she called,
whistKns to an imaginary dos. "If
you do not leave the house at
once, I will set my dog on you.".
And then fancying that she still
discerned in the intruder's diliatory
air an intention of remaining to
dispute the point, she caught up a
broom that fortunately hung fn
the corner, and made toward the
front door in such a resolute man
ner that the chromo man fairly
turned and fled.
"There!" said Miss Mixon;, alond,
as she watched him hurry through
the garden gate without stopping
to latch it behind hinu "I only
wish Mrs. Poppletoa eonlcf have
been here to see how promptly I
disposed of him! But it was very
careless of me to leave the front
door unbolted. I might have had
trouble in getting- rid" of the man;
I'll fasten it now before I go back
to work." -
So Miss Martha Nixon returned
to her needle, singing the Mar
beillaise" softly to herself as- a
Pitcher's Castoria.
harmless effusion of her triumph.
She went over that afternoon to
Mrs. Bruce's, who lived in the next j
farmhouse, half a mile away, to'
get her to make buttonheles on
the new dress. .
'Did the chromo man eome
here?" said she.
"Today?" asked Mrs. Brrtcre, with
her mouth full of pin3.
"Yes."
"No, I haven't seen any chromo
man."
"I guess I frightened him out of j
the neighborhood," chuckled Miss
Martha. "He was beginning his
importunities when I went at him
with the broom and chased him'
out of the house."
Mrs. Bruce laughed heartily at
the idea of her sparrow-like little
neighbor frightening any one by
sucli manifestations as she had de
scribed. "But I tell you who I have
seen," said she. "Mr. Todgilt
stopped here to inquire the way to
the parsonage."
"Dear me, did he?" said Miss
Mixon, with great interest.
"And I gave him a glass of
gooseberry wine and a slice of
cake," added Mrs. Bruce.
"Entertaining angels unaware,"
sighed Miss Mixon. "Oh, how I
wish it had been me! Do tell
me how he looks. Is he tall?"
No, but quite what you would
call a tall man," said Mrs. Bruce,
"and I think he is elderly, and he
doesn't dress much, But he is a
dear, godly man with a fine flow
of language."
"I will meet him at the "parson
age to-morrow:" said Miss Mixon,
complacently.
"How I envy you!" said Mrs.
Bruce, who was not one of the in,,
vited guests.
Miss Mixon, dressed in all her
best, includidg the alpaca gown
and sundry bows of blue ribbon;
which were not unbecoming to
her blonde comeliness, went to the
parsonage the next day. Mrs.
Hall, the parson's wife, came run
ning to meet her.
"My dear Martha," she said,
"I was so afraid you wasn' t com
ing. He's here. Such a dear
man! Come fight into the parlor.
Mr. Todgilt, let me present you to
Miss Mixon. Miss Mixon',. this is
Mr. Samuel Todgilt from Japan."
Mr. Todgilt's bow checked itself
halfway in a stare of amazement.
"As-ton-ish-iug!" said he.
Miss Mixon turned very red.
"Well, I do declare!" she fal
tered. For in Miss Mixon, the lady who
had been especially recomended
to him as a saintly and appropri
ate helpmeet, the missionary be
held the very female who had ig
nominiously pursued him from her
door with a broom whon, the pre
vious day, he had stopped to so
licit directions as to-the right road.
And in Mi. Todgilt, Martha saw
the personage whom she had; re
pelled as the obnoxious chromo
man.
"I'm sure I beg your- pardon,"
said she, but I mistook you for
somebody els 3."
The returned missionary burst
out laughing. He could not help
it.
"No harm doner" said he;, "no
harm done."
And fortunately he spoke tlie
truth. Mass Mixon's genuine good
sense- andgood fegling'soon efTaeed
the disagreeable first impression
iwhich she knew Iter broom- had
smade. And Mr. Todgilt's second
call at the eottage was longer- than
his first.
To make an- old' story short, Mr.
Children Cry for
Todgilt got married to Martha
Mixon. And to this day, in1 Anier
