TT1F ynXROE JOrnAK Tl KsnV. ITBKrARY 24. 10-20. Ihej couldn't be built nawfbr twiceTLOOO When the talk turns from politics to railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in v. it'a, "Tl'ere's an awful lot cf 'water' in the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts to j;iv3 him: American railroads have cost $S0,?C0 a mile roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin als, freight and passenger trainseverything from the great city terminals to the last spike. A pood concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile -just a bare road, not count ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to day for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $ 155.000; German $ 132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalisation and high operating effici ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates.

A firm in Monroe has a coffin, left , by a cabinet maker, iu the attic over it's building which it has been unable to give away or sell. An effort wn( made to get an old darkey lo haul it away, but be left the store in alarm. "No", boss," be exclaimed, as he re treated to the door, "I doesn't want ! one ob dem t'inus in mail house:" Judge Rogers, who once auctioned olT a hearse, has promised this firm to, try to dispose of It on the court house siptare some of these days. Tout Rossi, the Italian ice cream vendor, lias bought some Italian bonds which he believes will return him a handsome profit in a Tew years. Owing to the high exchange rale, he bought these bonds at the rate of $4! tier Ibonsand francs, the normal rate being $l!lS per thousand. Eventually, when the exchange rate is normal. iTonv's bonds will be worth four times more than lie paid for them. In the meantime, he draws live per cent an nually In dividends on them. Many people it re speculating in French and Italian money, especially New York bank clerks, who tire said to be In vesting most of their v ai:es in franks. .

M Uedfern, who Pas been on many fishing trips with the Doctor. "I particularly remember one oc casion when we were flshine cn New river, near the coast," said Mr. Red- feain. "For a boatman we bad a de vout negro preacher, who frowned up on our 'cussing' when our lurk was bad. Towards evening, while I was milling In one fish after another. Doctor Simth, who was fishing with his famous 'new departure, was hav ing no luck at all. He grumbled, as In deftly threw his line here and there. The old preacher remained quiet. Suddenly, an eight-pound Rock, one of the prettiest fish you ever saw, caught my line. Away it went. Then came the tussle between the fish and myself and Doctor Smith, when he saw what a great catch I was shout to make, began 'cussing' like a sailor. The preacher seeing the size of the fish ns it bobbed out of the water, be came frightened and began rowing for the shore with all of his might. How ever, before he got far, I pulled the eight pounder safely Into the boat, where It was a target for the envious of Doctor Smith. The darkey, seeing everything was alright, dropped his oars, and as he mopped the perspira tion off his forehead, remarked with a sigh of relief: 'Deed.
