! has availed one 5ot to disarm the bittel
hostility of those Americans who are
always ready for aggressive action.
The occasion for this ontburst is. il
appears. onr persistent nursing of the
Bering Sea dispute There can be
only one side to that dispute. oi
course To British intelligence of the
Gasette,s beef-fed variety England is
always necessarily right and America
bumptiously and insolently wrong in
any dispute that may arise.
The seals which breed upon the
Pribylof Islands are ours; what we
object to Is the slaughter of the fe-
males with young while they are away
from home feeding at sea. England
has refused to join with US in meas
ures which viii put an end to pelagic
sealing. Russia and Japan also have
seal herds which they naturally desire
to save from destruction. Our Gov
ernment has called conference of the
powers interested, and England was
reported to have declined to partiei-
pate. fearing that she would be cut
voted by America. Russia. and Japan,
the seal owners. That was an act of
British friendliness which meets the
entire approval of the St. James's
Gazette and all English papers of its
dull. insular kind. 1t is pleasant to
note. however, that Lord Salisbury
has given Ambassador Hay assurances
that England has not decided to keep
out of the conference, but Is merely
waiting to be further informed of the
details OF the proposed meeting.
Why should England. the England
represented by the egoistic and wood
en-headed Gazette. marvel at Ameri-
can suspicion of Great Britain's good
will? Is she frank with us? Is she a
friendly power. beyond the point which
a prudent regard for her own interests
impels? Jefferson, writing to Monroe,
prior to the deliverance of the doctrine
which bears that Presidents name,
said that our policy should be to detach
England from the group of European
powers. and, throwing her influence
with ours into these two continents,
we might then defy the world. But
Great Britain remains q strictly Eu-
ropean power. foreign to US, and there

Englishman who is curious to know
why Americans do not love England
overmuch has but to look at home in
order to ascertain the reasons.-N /.

You ride along through the day, and to-
ward evening come upon some attrac-
tive looking farm house. You approach
and ask the mistress if she will take you
and your friend in for the night. adding
that you are travelling on a tour from
such point to such a point, that you
will gladly pay for what rest and food
she will give you. In nine cases out of
ten she will take you in after a short
talk.
An evening spent with the farmer and
his wife and family, if you enter into the
spirit Of the thing, is one of the most en-
joyable of evenings. and at the same
time one of the most valuable methods
for picking up a knowledge of the people
cf this country who live out of your i'm
mediate sphere. Toward bedtime they
will probably want to put you in the
spare chamber, which, in such homes.
means the one unused room of the house
but frequently used rooms you will be
happier. In any case the mistress of
the house will probably think more of
you and charge you less. Often in the
morning when you set out to continue
your journey the farmer and his wife
will laugh at the idea of payment In
that case it is due to those who come
after you as well as to yourself that
when you return home you send them
something in the nature of a present or
remembrance. In this way some very
pleasant evenings are passed, and some
attractive acquaintances made new
places are discovered and new features
of old places found out from day to day.

In 1896 a three-mile line of railroad
was built in Massachusetts which at
tracted much attention. 1t was con-
structed for the purpose of transport
ing granite from the Quincy quarries
to the port of Neponset. Stone sillS
were used for ties, and the rails were
wooden stringers, 6x12 inches in thick
ness, plated with fiat iron bars. This
road, and it's operation marked a dis
tinct advance in early railway con-
struction. The next important rail-
road to be built was the Mauch Chunk
road from the coal mines to the Lee
high River distance of nine miles
Very soon after the completion of the
Mauch Chunk Railroad, in 1927, the
built the Carbondale and Honesdale
Railway in Pennsylvania from the Car
bondale coal mines to the head of the
LackaWaxen Canal, distance of six
teen and a quarter miles. 1t was for
this road that the "Stourbridge Lion"

from England, was run

No Rain in Morocco.

Day by day the villagers, men, wom
en- and children, left their thatch huts
and visited the tombs of the local
saints, crying: God have mercy upon
US; God have mercy upon u.s." And
there on the hills, where some clumps
of palmetto and a few whited stones
mark the last resting place of saint,
they stood and prayed. But no rain
came.
So the tOwnspeople, dressed in gala
attire, and led by the sacred flags that
hung in the mosques and tombs, went
out to pray. Up the long, narrow
street of Tangier they passed, a line
of white-robed figures, singing as they
went Over their heads waved the
scarlet and green and gold embroidered
banners Barefoot they went, the
great men of the city, and the mer-
chants, and the halt and the blind. out

was in 1907 that Silas Whitney laid
down an experimental railway in Bea-
