The M. I'. contractors are delayed
again on account of failure to re

shipped from Pittsburgh, Pa. The
steel rails on hand are too light for
the sharp curves at this end of the
line and will be used in Sarpy coun
ty where the line is coniparativel
straight. It is fully expected that
work will begin again Thursday,
and nothing but bad weather will
stop the contractors after that time
until the line is completed. It is
said the company desires to put in
a new time card, to take effect June
1st, and that they expect to have
trains running on the new line by
that time.

Connecticut line and served some time
there. It was during this service that
lie composed the immortal song "Colum
bia," which at once attracted ycueral at
tention, itiid from the first became fa
mous. It was composed without much
thought, the times being fall of patriotic
feelings, which inspired the poet, and he
is said to have expected no more than
passing fame for his production. It was
caught up, however, by the patriots, and
soon became known throughout the
struggling colonies. After the war
Dwight went back to the pursuits inter
rupted 13" his entering the army, and
eventually became president of Yale
college, a position which he held until
his death in 1817.
The author of "Columbia" was a vol
uminous writer, turning out many ex
tended poems and books, hut all seem
to have been forgotten but the great
l3ric which he gave to his country dur
ing the struggle for freedom. It wiil
ever remain his monument.
A SONG THAT TOLD.
The words and music of "Hail Colum
bia" were composed under the American
flag. Its author, Joseph Ilopkinson, was
a native of Philadelphia and the son of
a signer of the Declaration of Independ
ence. Like the composer of "Colum
bia," he was the author of many other
things in prose and verse,
has come down to our day with auy
fame but his national son"1.
"Hail Columbia" was written in the
summer of 1703, whcST we were having
complications with France which threat
ened to end in war. Ilopkinson had an
actor friend named Fox, who was to
have a benefit at a theater, and it was
for him that the song was composed.
The music winch accompanied the
song, and to which it is sung toda3 was
originally the "President's March,"
which was written ten years before, on
the occasion of Washington's visit to
New York, by a German orchestra lead
er named lytes. "JJ.au Columbia
sprang into sudden popularitj', and it is
said to have averted the threatened war,
as it incited national pride and roused
the whole country.
Joeph HopkhiKon lived until 18-12, fill
ing various important ofnees and loved
y all for the great song he had given to
his nation. He helped to revise tne con

'A young-lady wants to know how
to make "not enough'' out of the

is done by transposing the letters

Take the third, second an 1 hist

you have something- thats not
enough for uuy young lady.
