little seed lay in the ground.
And soon began to sprout;
Now which Of all the flowers around"
1t unused. "shall come out?"
The lily's face is fair and proud,
But just trihe cold;
The rose, I think, is rather loud,
And then. Its fashions old.
"The violet ia very well,
But not flower I'd choose;
Nor yet the canterbury bell
never cared for blues.
"Petunias are by far too bright.
And vulgar flowers beside;
The primrose only blooms at night.
And peonies spread too wide"
And so 1t criticised each flower,
This supercilious seed;
Until 1t woke one summer hour,
And found itself weed.

The first list Of lands selected by the

A gigantic enterprise which threatens
to revolutionize American railway busi-

discussion among railroad men, says the
Spokane Chronicle. 1t is proposition
to form one great system, stretching from
ocean to ocean, with the Northern Pacific
forming the western half of the line.
The plan as now outlined is to com
bine the New York Central, the Canadian
Southern, the Michigan Central, the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the Northern
Pacific in one enormous system under
one management, directed and controlled
by the Vanderbilt interests. This would
give almost direct line from New York
through eastern commercial centers to
Chicago, st. Paul, Spokane, Seattle and
Portland. Such system would be in
position to dictate terms to it's competi-
tors east and west as no railway system
or combination of railways now in exist
ence dares attempt to do.

Gently organized at a meeting of smelter
men in New York has established clear

described: "Each smelter registers all
oflts contracts for ore in the trust clearing
house. The ores are delivered to the
clearing house and paid for and are dis
tributed to the different smelters in such
a way that each gets its share Of the ore,
but the classes Of ore are SO distributed
that the smelters are all supplied with the
kind Of ores they need the most, SO no
smelter has to shut down for want Of a
certain kind Of ore. Under the old plan
il a smelter is short Of a fluXing ore, for
instance it would have to go into the
market and buy it, and often will be COM
PEELED to pay fancy price or shut down,
and the smelter would loose money i'll the
operation. The clearing house distri-
butes the different classes evenly.
