Takes n Rosy View OF the SituatiOn.
Mr.. Frederick I. Brown, of the firm o. f. L.
Horton & Co, has just returned to New York
rom an extended trip through the West and
Northwesr and he tells the friends of railroad
properties that 'the physical condition OF the
roads is excellent. All that saw were in first
rate condition They have all the modern i'm
proSements. The railroads have had more
business this fall than they could do. The pros
Oect for the winter Is excellent. Elevators are
full IN all The lines. The season has been very
favorable for breaking mp ground; that Ia, for
fall blowing" Regarding the troubles in the
Northwest, he states that "railrUad traffic is
very fairly divided between the ST. Paul and
she North W estern roads. Rock Island has come
into that section over the Minneapolis d St.
Louis road, and there is a good deal of ak bout
disturbances ard dsagreements. think. how
ever that there is too mnch business tor the rail-
roads to warrant any serious fight. There may
be n temporary break in rates, but the matter
will be quickly settled up"

Employees on Southern Roads Organizing
Mutual Benefit Associations.
Employees on Southern roads have begun to
form mutual benefit associations similar to
those on the c., H. g. D, and Decline systems,
which have done much TO relieve their members
when sick or disabled. When properly taken
hold of, 1t is little trouble to organize and keep
in operation such charitable organizations, and
the expense to members is triling as compared
to its benefits A few months ago six
men employed by the railroad companies
at New Orleans, La, formed a
club for the purpose OF assisting one
anorher in the case of sickness The organiza-
zion increased so rapidly In numbers that now
there are w0 societies OF the kind, composed of
over 600 men, known as the Freght-handlers'
Benevolent Association Nos. and 9. Recently
a committee from the organization waited upon
the officials OF the different roads entering the
city, and requested that they have the assurance
of steady employment. and not be driven out by

Margaret Fuller.

The great dream of Margaret life
was realized in 1916, when at last the
opportunity came for her to visit Eu-
rope. She passed some time in En-.
gland and Scotland, meeting Words
worth, Dean Mlman, Chalmers, DeQuin-
cey, the Carlyles, Harriet Martineau.
Joanna Bailie and other famous people
Then she went to France, and from
there to Italy, reaching Rome in May,
1917. She spent several months in ex-
c,rsions to other Italian cities, return
inc to the Eternal City in October,
where she remained, barring a short
absence now and then, until May, 1850.
During this period she married private
ly the young Italian nobleman, Ossoli,
with whom she appears to have fallen
in love at sight; and in due time child
was horn to them, that occurrence be-
ing kept secret. Those were stirring
days in Rome the days of Mazzini and
Garibaldi, of the Republic and the
French invasion. Margaret was enlist
ed heart and soul in the patriotic cause,
and when the city was invested, she
acted as superintendent of one of the
hospitals, rendering admirable, untir-
ing and effective service. So great
seemed the danger at one time
that she sent for the American
Minister, Lewis Cass. and disclosed
to him the fact of the marriage and that
she had a child, asking that, in case OF
her death, certain important documents
which she gave him should be sent tC
her family in America. On the next
day, however, military operations
ceased, and she and her husband left
Rome, took their boy from his hiding
place at Rieti, and made their way to
Florence. There they spent the winter,
and on the 18th of May succeeding they
set sail for New York. Various things
detained them here and there, and it
was not until the evening of the 18th of
July that the ship Elizabeth. on which
they, were passengers, sighted the
Jersey coast. An early arrival in the
city was promised, and everybody re-
tired in good spirits, having made all
arrangements to go on shore in the
morning. The rest is best told briefly.
At four o'clock of the 10Th the ship
struck on Fire Island beach, and the
passengers sprang from their berths,

The Pleasures OF n Country Life.

Not long since we read report of q
debate in farmers club upon the ques-
ton whether a city Ii e or rural life is
the more conducive to happiness and
well-teinS. Strangely enough, the
question was decided in favor of the
city life. No doubt this may be ex-
planned by the very frequent inclination
of people to change their circumstances
and to notice most the disagrceable
features of their environments. What
is pleasant is passed over as matter of
course, while the unpleasant is long
dwelt upon and ruminated over, until
one feels that all other circumstances or
positions are better than those he has
become a victim to.
Ii this disposition of the persons were
changed and could become more like
that OF the moralist who put upon his
sun dial: II mark only the pleasant
hours" then there would be less of the
prevalent dissatisfaction, for every per-
son would find some delights, at least,
in his mode of lie which would far over
balance whatever there. might be dis
agreeable or unattractive in it. But
there are material differences in the
two manners of living which no DISPOSE
ton of the person can change or avoid.
In the city all is artificial. Even the
manners and customs of the people are
strained and less natural than those of
country dwellers. The close, narrow
streets, the paved roads, the sense
of restriction and the absence of
freedom. the sameness, the mOnotOnOus
round of life, and the effect of all these
upon the mind of the person all tend to
diiferentiate the citizen from the coun-
tryman. In the country one is at home
with nature; there is a largeness of
scope and breadth of view; the free
fresh air. the ever-changing aspect of
the scenery, the leisure-all these have
the effect to make rural people more OBJ
servant and studious of their own af-
fairs. In city men study men; in the
country they study things. Perhaps
there are no other books that mark
these differences more perfectly than
the writings of Charles Lamb, who was
a city man, and those of Wordsworth,
Donald G. Mitchell and others: whose
thoughts breathe of flowers and fields
and rural scenes. Perhaps no writer
more enjoyed city life, in spite of all
his unhappy domestic and family asso
Citations, to which he lovingly sacrificed
himself, than Charles Lamb. His So
cial enjoyments, his pursuit of litera-
ture, and his love for the very stones
and bricks with whi Ii he had been ac-
quainted from early boyhood; his strug-
giles and disappointments, and his final
easy old age, after his long mechanical
routine of bookkeeping and counting
up figures-all his history, in fact. as
told by himself in the most charming
manner-gives us a picture of man
born and bred in city and enjoying
all that could be made pleasant of it
while he chafed and fretted at
its restraints. But one reared in the

darken with olive greens and grays the
stony surface. The side entrance to
this wonderful cave is Haaked by
rocky columns of an exaggerated
Egyptian type. They remind the
Atraveler q the gigantic monoiiths of
Thebes and Karnak; or, to use mere
commonplace figure, they are Titanic
hour glasses in shape, the lower MEM
bers being partially submerged in the
crystal tide. At evening. when the
rays of the setting sun light up the sur
face of the lake, and the cOlors IF the
sunset are diffused' throughout the at
mosphere, the reflections that play
along the inner walls. of the cave, and
gid with strange beauty the clustering
roof, make the place seem like bit Of
fairy-land.
The Chapel so closely resembles the
ruin of some ancient temple that it is
difficult TO resist the idea that this is
the work of mems hands, rather than
the result of centuries of action by wind
and wave upon the friable rock. Seen
from the beach. where the outlines are
partially concealed by the thickets, one
may fancy that here are the gloomy
portals OF some crumbling Hindoo tenn
pie, or the outer columns of the caves
of Elephanta. The dome. which is
deeply cOncave, is a solid mass of sand
stone one hundred and ninety feet long
and sixty feet wide. In the rear, and
on the eastern side, it is supported by
the cliff, into which it, the cave, has
been followed, and on the front and
west by huge columnar masses, resem-
bling in contour the supports of the
vaults of The Portal. A few of these
masses stand out from the general
structure, so to speak. and one of them,
west of The Chapel few feet, is about
eighty feet in height from the surface OF
the water. The Pictured Rocks are
stained with the wash of mineral oxides,
and the hues prevailing are a greenish.
blue, pale blue, verdigris green, old
gold. pale yellow, and innumerable
shades of brown and gray.
The Cascade is bright sheet of wa
ter, about thirty feet wide. which falls
from the overhanging cliffs sheer into
the lake, having height of one hun.
dred and seventy-fiye feet. The pro.
lection of the cliff from the lip of which
the cascade springs is SO great that a
space of twenty-five or thirty feet re.
mains behind the fall and between it
and the rocky shore. 1t is the custom
of guides to invite those who do not
