BREAK UP THE TRUST.

The Progressive Farmer suggests a
very sensible way to break up the
cotton tie trust, and that is for the
farmers of the South to take dollar
of stock each in cotton tie factory
to be located in the South and buy all
the ties from this factory. This plan
would be as effective as the farmers
fight on the bagging trust was some
wears ago.

Aunt Hannah's Treasure.

She saw it just as she stepped In
to the car, lying unnoticed where it
had rolled, and she stopped the tide
of travel while she picked it up.
How many people had seen it and
made no effort to get it this depon-
ent sayeth not. Enough that the
genteel- Hooking stranger absorbed
the treasure, and did it SO deity
that the three women belonging to
her party and who fell over her and
themselves in their eagerness to see,
did not know thing about it.
She arose from her dive into the
corner, serene and tall, and walked
to seat in the further end of the
car. She struggled the small object
she had picked up into her reticule
and no one-at least none of her
party-suspected. She would not
be obliged to divide honors.
"Did you stumble at the door,
Aunt Hannah ~ asked one of her
friends.
"No."
"The step there is bad.'
"Yes.' She really hadn't noticed
it.

nah"
"Yes. Shopping always does wor-
ny me-"
She was distract until she reached
her own street, where she left her
friends. Then she hurried into the
house, and into her own room. This
is guess work, but the chances are
that it fits. After locking the door
she extracted from her reticule the
object which she had picked up.
and which all inside of the car had
scrutinized first. 1t was plated
collar button worth 30 cents a
rose.-Detroit Free Press.

you mean by giving me only four

sic pepsw.s Private Car.


A glance into Chauncey NJ De.
pew's private travelling car shows
that the railroad maguate lives in
comfort aud elegance while on the
road. Something like $4,000 was
expended in making this palace on
wheels one OF the best specimens OF
the car builders art.
The car is "a feet long, and is fit
ted with Westenhouse airbrakes, q
whistle signal service to the engi-
neer, steam heat and an instrument
which regulates the speed of the car.
The indicator has often registered
IS miles an hour.
At the rear is the observatory sec
ton. II is a small room, luxurious
IL upholstered and furnished with
easy chairs done in heavy plush.
Large windows on the side and rear
give complete view of the passing
scenery.
Next in order come the state
rooms. These, in reality are bed
rooms, they are SO large and COM
modious. They are three in num-
Der and contain full sized beds. Mr..
Depew never sleeps in berth when
travelling, and the room he occupies
would almost swallow two OF the
cubby holes called rooms in some
New York flats. Each room is sup
piled with hot and cold water and
electric call bells. The draperies
and decorations are fit for a Fifth
avenue house.
A narrow hallway runs along the
front Of these bedrooms and leads to
the main saloon. This is also the
dining room. 1t is about Is feet
long and the width Of the car. The
wood work is solid mahogany
throughout. An immense French
plate pier glass at the end of the sa-
loon gives the compartment the ap-
pearance of being much larger than
it really is. The windows are dou-
BILE to keep out the dust. In one
corner, by the great mirror, is a
secretary, supplied with stationery
and telegraph blanks, and above it
is compartment for books. This
holds railroad manuals, reports OF
the interstate commerce and the
state railroads commissions, and
other books Of that character for the
convenience of Mr.. Depew. The
windows are hung with heavy silk
curtains, and the easy chairs are of
plush and velvet. Around the CEN
tire table from four to six persons
may dine in comfort.
Next to the main saloon is a small
section room with berths for use in
emergencies, and then comes the
porter's room, which is as we'll fur
nished almost as stateroom in the
average sleeping car. Beyond are
the kitchen and pantry, where Mr..
Depew's own cook prepares all his
meals when travelling. The kitchen
is supplied with all the appurtenances
necessary to modern kitchen.-N.
