The story of the luck of the Howths is well known, and down to very recent times no member of that family ‘would permit a rat to be put to death. It was said that about the year 1750 the 26th Baron Howth was giving a banquet to his friends when a rat rushed into the hall followed by several dogs, and jump- ing on the table sat up before Lord Howth as if appealing for protection. He saved its life, and from that moment it never quitted him. At last he set out on a foreign tour, accompanied by his brother, who persuaded him to leave the rat behind. Sitting in a hotel at Marseilles, the door suddenly flew open, und the rat, dripping wet, came crawling in and went straight to the fire to dry itself. Lord Howth's brother, enraged at the intrusion. seized ths poker and dashed out the rat's brains. “You have murdered me!” exclaimed Lord [Towth, and instantly fell down and expired. —London Tid-Bits.

As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. = The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular patronage demands. Its equipment is thorough- ly complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent dining cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently impbroved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important items. They are a double duty-—to the Coni- pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment. Passengers on this line will find little cause for complaint on that ground. The importance of this Line can be better un- derstood if a short lesson in geography be now recited. What is the great Eastern termini of the Rock Island Route?—Chicago. What other sub-East- ern termini has it¥—Peoria. To what important points does it run trains to the Northwest ?—St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Water- town and Sioux Falls, Dakota. To what impor- tant Towa and Nebraska points?—Des Moines, Davenport, Towa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebras- ka. Does it touch other Missouri River points?— Yes; St. Joseph, Atchison, Leavenworth and Kansas City. Does it run trains to the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver, Colo- rado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibuled from Chicago. Can important cities of Kansas be reached by the Rock Island Route?—Yes; its capital city, T'okepa, and a full hundred others in all directions in the State, and it is the only road running to and into the new lands opened for settlement in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation. It will thus be seen that a line tapping, asthe Rock Island does, such a varied territory, has much in that regard to commend it to travelers, as all connections are sure on the Rock Island, and passengers can rely on a speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system threngh trains are run, and it has become, and rightly too, the popular Line. A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway leaves Chicago, daily, at 10 p. m, It is called “Tue Bie Five,” is only one day out, and passengers arrive at Denver, Pueblo or Colorado Springs early the second morning. The Rock Island has become a popular Colo- rado Line, and the train above referred to is Ves- tibuled, and casries the Rock Island's excelent Dining Car Service.
