The churchman considered it phenom-
encn. and got off the train rs quickly
as he could. lie had bullwhacked across
the plains in the early Nnuvoo days, and,
strange to say, had never ridden on n
railroad train until the time when he
entered upon this trip from Green River
to San Francisco. The speed was there
fore revelation to him. He had never
before seen anything so swift, and he
WINS scared. About IL miles before reach
ing Ogden he asked the conductor for
the time of day and was told that it was
1:a5. He impressed this time very forci-
bly, on his mind.
Now, for wonder, the western con-
nection at Ogden was quickly made.
and after the lapse of but few minutes
the San Fruncsco-bound travellers were
on their way Californiaward. Ogden
had been left behind but few miles and
the train was whooping along mt be-
hind-time rate of speed, when the old
bishop. frightened and trembling, dared
to ask the conductor what was the time
of day.

and San Francisco time, one hour ear
ier, is adopted. The conductor had San
Francisco time, and he said:
1T is 7:1o-ten minutes after seven"
The old bishop. previously haunted
By dread of impending destruction be-
cause of the horrible rate of speed at
which he was being whirled through
space. rose with a wild cry and made for
the door.
"Lcmme or" he cried. "It was IS
minutes after seven an hour ago. an
we're gon' so fast we are goin' faster
than time can count itself. Lemme
on"
Had they really been going as fast Us
the old man had believed he would sure
ly have been beaten to bits rs he jumped
from the train. AS it was, he was only
rolled something like half mile and
was carried back to Ogden on hand

The HORSE IN HISTORY.

As early as 1907 in England famous
race course was established in York.
The victor's prize was a little golden
bell, which he hung on his horses neck.

and tail make an article of cloth valu-
able for many purposes, while the short
hair is useful to plasterers and in other
ways.

The Thessalians were the first Euro

longs to the American Refining Com
pany or Sugar Trust.
The actual amount of capital invest
ed in sugar refining in the United
States is given in the census of 1880 at
S27. 432. 500 and of 1890 at s24.432. 500.
For twenty-five years prior to 1886
there was private trust TO control
prices. and the organization of the
public and chartered Sugar Trust by
some members of the private trust was
partly to control prices and regulate
production, and partly to get S60.000,
600 in lump sum from the general
public by selling out future profits. Of
the ST.. 00O. 600 stock in 1893 The World
showed that less than s13,000,000 rep
resented property. OF the s9S,000,000
of stock now, Mr. Havemeyer acknowl-
edges that il represents less than 500
600 .000-S0 per cent of the s24, 100000
invested in 1890 His admission of
profits of 90 per cent on this four-fifths
watered stock shows how easily sugar
fortunes were made between 1876 and
1886. when there was profit of 2
cents per pound upon an average year
" product of 1000, 100000 pounds, of
which three-fourths were given to the
sugar men by the protective tarif-a
yearly profit exceeding 100 per cent.
1t is not to be expected that any
practical good will come from Mr..
Lexow's committee; but if it will con-
tinue TO so stir these trusts as to make
the members blurt out the truth now
and then, as Mr. Havemeyer has, it
will not have been altogether in vain.
