Rough on the Liars

A stranger who appeared to have seeu much o' this oold aud nnfi eling world, entered a ferry do> k saloon yesterdayi and after warmfug himself for a moment at the stove, around which was a large circle of mariners, he advanced to the bur aud called for whiskey and two glasses A stiff drink was poured into « acb, aud taking one iu ids fingers, the ntan turned to the ciowd and said: “Gentlemen, if there is a liar present I invite him to sttq. up «nd drink with ine.” A sor- of tiemor ran tltrogii tho crowd. The stranger gazed in blank astonishru -ut, and finally said to rne old tug captain, “well, this heats me. What’s thv master?" "Tho matter is,” slowly replied the captain, as ne took his legs off the stove, “that any man who expects fourteen Hats to drink out of cue tumbler at the same timeiis altogether too fresh for this looalPy! You are no gentleman sir—no gentle! man.”—Detroit Free Press.

The Idiauapolis Times: There is no longer doubt as to the eurly completion of the Indianupolis and Chiago Air Line road. The work is being e pushed with commendable energy between tins city and Frankfort, and there is not likely to be any more hitches of auy kind. The ss9*, 000 in subsidies, voted in Clinton county, have been secured, and there is on longer any danger of losing it from delayed construction. Of the seventy miles between this eity and Delpi, twenty two- miles are now down. The grading is completed to Flora, iu this county and the *onsiruetion train is half way to ‘ ’elplil rrom Erunkfort. Kirkland, Clinton county, was renched Tuesday, aud as the first construction train pulled through the town, the iuhibants of the region stood in the knee-deep mud and received the train witn an ovation. Arrsugemeuts have been made witji the Wabash people to come into the eity over their right of way. No additional track will be built at present, but both lines will use the same track from a point beyond the intersection with tbe Belt extension. It can be reliable stated that the L., N. A. and C. (operating tks Air Line] 1 roposes to seek an eastern outlet from this eity. The contractors will have the line into Indianapolis June 1, aud through conueetiou by a new iine cait will theu be contracted for. Enough steel rails are now piled up at Frankfort to complete the unbuilt portion of the liu* between Delphi and this city.
