Tho statement OF the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway Company for the year
ending June 30, 1896. shows a remarkable
record In freight transportation. The
road hauled It's freight ut the avcrngc
rate of +.2G Mills per ton per mile, GER
tAlnly Il low freight rate for Il noun
tain railroad. But the general freight
average Is thrown In the shade by the
average rate for coul carried to the sea-
board.
Competition was so sharp that In or
der to market coal along the line OF this
road Il hud 10 be carried 1t n low price.
which Is shown In the average rate OF
e,63 mills per o per mile. In other
words, the road carried n ton Of coal
about four miles for one cent. This rate
did not last the whole year. but 1t did
last for the greater part OF the year.
In spite OF low rates the company has
made fair average earnings per mile for
It's freight trains, an achievement made
possible by the large increase in tonnage
per train. which has reached the very
high average OF 1926 tons.
This Chesapeake 4 Ohio has been
brought to n high state OF efficiency

How n wheeiwoman Saved Herself

A young society lady OF Chester, who is
bicycle enthusiast, had "A startling e1pe-
rience at Ridley pork last evening. She
was with party of friends, when, suddenly
rounding a corner, n horse and carriage
appeared within a few feet of her. The
bicycle ran plumb into the horse, the front
wheel Of the bicycle passing between the
animals forelegs. Thoroughly frightened,
but with an impulsivo movement, the fair
rider threw up her arms, clasping the
horses neck and holding on like grim
death. Her friends thought to see her
crushed to death, but fortunately the horse
did not scare, or maybe he appreciated the
sudden but fond embrace. At any rate,
the cyclist was soon extricated from her
embarrassing position. .--Philadelphia Rec

Bobbie Burns Invincible Pluck.

"lt is a mistake to suppose as many
do. that Burns was altogether given up
to sallantry and ,caroursal," writes Ar
thur Warren in July Ladies' Home Jour
tended to be, an exemplary character.
Whatever he did he did with all his en-
ergy. He was q creature OF emotions
and strong passions. His nature was un-
disciplined. The right Influences for
the discipline OF such character as his
were but seldom around him. The in
Huences he knew were all too severe
and repressive on the one hano, or all
too lax on the other. He was subject to
moments of fiery enthusiasm, and to
days OF acute remorse. But, for all
that, he worked, and worked hard. He
used to say that he could not conceive a
more mortifying picture Of human life
work." he would say, and he maze it.
On the other hand, Burns was
honestly touched by real evidences of
devoted living, and especially among the
poor. The old Scotch habit OF family
worship always appealed TO him, and he
would suffer no one to make sport of it.
There were some recollections that were
sacred to him through life, and one of
these was OF his father, who, as the
household gathered around the ingle,
would kneel, saying simply, Let US
worship God,' and then, with patriar-
chial grace, read from 'the big ha-
Bible And all this was something
m ore than memory for when Robert had
won wide recognition as poet AMI all
Scotland was fiattering him, he passed
the tedious weeks OF long illness in "A
study of the Scriptures. While in one
of his dark moods, feeling that poverty
must always be before him, he said,
But I have sturdily withstood these
buffetings many a hard-lahored day, and
still my motto is, Il Darrell Burns ever
contemplated with indignation the ine-
quality of human conditions and the con-
trast between his own worldly ciroum-
stances and his intellectual rank. He
expressed this thought thousand times,
in thousand ways"
