Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Discharge
Many Men Because of Dull Times.

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Jan. 29.-The large
new switchyards of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy road have been
closed in consequence of dull business
and a number of employees discharged.
The company has also released con-
siderable number from the repair yards
and the blacksmith shop. This action
caused surprise, as last December it
was announced that there was pros
pect for large increase of business in
January. This Anticipation was not
realized, and now the railroad officials
say that it will be year before busi-
ness picks up. General Manager Mer-
rill said here tonight that he attributed
the continued dullness of railroad bust
ness TO the uncertainty attending tariff
Legislation. This, he says, affects fac
tories and their condition affects rail-
roads. There is also, he says, a great
abundance of grain in the country, but
none of it is being moved.

ply, editor of the Washington Standard

someone had left the trap-door of the
stage open. The patient has recovered
consciousness, but it is feared the vet
eran is seriously injured.

dens Of life and follow the call of duty.
however footsore and weary, bring to
the heart peace and serenity which
are not far from true happiness To cut
away and destroy in moment all these
possibilities is as foolish as il is wrong.
Nevertheless, it is upon far more solid
and ethical grounds than this that the
obligation of preserving ana cherish
ing life should be based
This principle needs more emphasis
in the training of youth That our life
is a trust-that we exist, not mainly
for happiness, but for service-is a
truth which can be established at
very early age. Little children can be
taught to love and TO help one another,
until what may at first have been self.
sacrifice becomes pleasure bic duty.
They should also be Taught that true
self-care tends to the same end There
is a fallaclous custom of thinking
that what we do for ourselves ends
with self. Many children who are
brought up in habits of cleanliness and
temperance, who early learn to take
care of their health and exert their
ldculIlcS- nave no Olner motive pre-
sented to them than their own good.
Yet nothing is clearer than that all
these things tend also to their value
to others, and this motive should never
be overlooked. 1t is no abstract the
ory nor is it difficult so to present it to
the young mind and weave it into the
young life as TO give higher meaning
to all that is done for personal well
fare. There is no rigid line between
duties to self and duties to others.
They melt into one another; they act
and react upon each other; and when
the right balance between them is de-
stroyed neither can be perfectly full
filed. When it comes to be fully rec
ognized that self-care and self-im-
provement are social obligations as
well as personal ones, then the duty of
self-preservation viii rest upon firm
err basis, and the act of suicide will be
everywhere regarded with the abhor
renee which its selfish and cowar
lV character deserves
