"The Pennsylvania Limited"

One of the handsomest pieces of railroad
literature seen for some time is pamphlet
just issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company descriptive OF the comforts and con-
veniences found on its famous limited train of
vestibule cars running between New York,
Philadelphia Baltimore, Washington, Chi
cago, and Cincinnati. This train presents all
the comforts of home as well as all the CON
yeniences of club. Its four distinctive feat
ures of financial news, stenographer and type
stand out in bold relief and mark it as the
only passenger train In existence on which
the traveller can perform all the functions of
business or social life while speeding over the
rails with as much ease as if he were in the
heart of the metropolis. These pamphlets,
artistically illustrated, are issued for the in
formation OF the public, and may be had by
applying to the passenger department of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in any OF the cities

power of man dashes after us that black
cloud behind. Until now eth leetle one'
had lain against its mothers breast, with eyes
closed as if in slumber. Now those little
eyes open, they look up into the face of a
loving mother, and as that mothers lips are
again pressed upon the little face lying next
hers; then, as smile, in which Instantly
vanishes all suffering and trouble, creeps
across that tiny face, the little eyelids slowly
fall, until they hide the sight of eyes which
shall open again only in the world we know
not Of.
"Thar's tn town, Mary. Well soon be
thar, leetle gal," encouragngly whispers
the great fellow beside her. But as great
sob breaks forth from the bowed head beside
him, and the little body is frantically clasped
to the bursting heart of the young mother,
there is no need to tell him that the race Is
run, that death is again the winner.

GOOD Thiag For Loggers.

Tue general rain storm and warm spell
that ushered in the month has according
TO the Lum herman, been rather a help
than hindr ince TO logging operations
throughout northern Minnesota and Wis
consin. In no section was there too
much water in the swamps before the
rain and on the tributaries to the St.
Croix there was decided lack of water.
The swamps are now fairly we'll filled
and the soil generally ready for solid
weather. Many of the lakes upon which
logs must be drawn are still as open as
they were in July. In some places they
have broken up after having been fairly
frozen over. To some camps in the ter
titory tributary TO the Mississippi hight
snow has made short hauls possible, and
logs are being hauled TO the banks and
railroad tracks with rush. Ice roads
have been pc ssibiity in some parts, and
are now in full operation. Some camps
report all skidding done, with nothing to
do till sleighing comes. There is moth
ing thus far in the weather prospects to
indicate that the winters log crop will
not be up to reasonable expectations.

Another Bridge Project

There was joint meeting of Daven,
port and Moline business men in the
rooms Of the local association Saturday
afternoon. to discuss the need of new
railroad bridge. The project was in
unanimous favor, and the meeting was a
harmonious one. although nothing def
mite developed as to the best means of
arriving at the desired end A committee
of 10 members was appointe TO investi-
safe the matter, Davenport being repre-
sented on the committee by Col. G. w

OF course the need of another bridge
spanning the river at this point is con-
coded by everybody, and the location
should be secondary to the Importance of
the project. but it seems to THE ARGUS

by taking advantage of the franchise al.
ready secured from congress and now in

The Old Rural Christmas.

How many of the young people know
that some forty years ago nine-tenths OF
the children in America had to enjoy
Christmas with only such sums as they
had saved up for months, often penny at
"A timer Yet so it was. Not one father in
ten thought of giving boy Christmas
money" the big family dinner and such
fun as cost nothing was enough.
Indeed, save for candy and fire crackers,
there was little TO spend money for. "Rob-
inson Crusoe' and ''Parley's Tales" were
almost the only story books, though the
people had some old stand bys on their
shelves and the ''Old English Reader" was
like other poor, always with them. There
were "Moral Lessons" a few, and tracts
enough; but no gorgeously lettered vol
umes of childish song, no fairy stories shin
ing in covers of blue, green and gold.
The story that artists for the earliest
Juvenile books had TO label their pictures
This is horse" This is a cow" etc, is
no doubt an eXaggeration, but the toys
really needed it. Many little girl made
a doll by dressing up Il crook necKed
squash. Rag babies" were the rule A
doll such as any child of parents above the
grade of paup--s may now have for Christ
mas, would then have excited the amaze
ment of the neighborhood, and doll that
would open and shut its eyes-well, Ian
guage is lacking to set forth the furore
such a wonderful creation would have ex-
cited.
1t is an actual fact that the purchase OF
such doll by order from Cincinnati-at
cost of two dollars-was made matter of
church discussion in one town as late as
1913 THE neigh bors' finally decided it
was all right, as the mans little girl was
an invalid and needed amusement. She
certainly got it, if company was any
amusement, for every child for miles
around was crazy to see that doll. As for
paying ten dollars for doll, the people
would have asked the court to name a
guardian for the man who did it, as one
unfit TO manage his own affairs. Ten dol
lars would buy an acre of good timbered
land in half of the country.
Wood carving was an enyied accom-
plishment in those days. The hired
hand" who had some skill with Jack
knife had a crowd of children after him on
all possible occasions; the father who could
carve human looking figure out of wal
nut bark was hero TO his family.
