Mr.. Armour listened to them, but his
iron jaws at the close came together
more firmly than ever, and he said:

be donew He then gave his orders. He
bought little island. known as Goose
Neck Island, in the mouth Of the Chi

over Chicago that any man who could
handle pick or drive nail could find
work by calling at p. ID. Armour's
stock yards. He put up an electric
lighting system and worked three
gangs Of men eight hours at n stretch,
putting so many men on the work that
they covered II like ants. He went out
every day and took look at the work
himself, and the result was he had
his elevators bsilt three days before the
wheat began to come. This work had
been done quietly, and few of the brok-
ers knew Of 1t. He took care Of his

Never Ate Solid Food.

Tommy Horton Is one Of San Fran
cisco's freaks. Though % years old he
has the faculties and physical appear
ance Of boy early in his teens. He is
by no means half-witted, for he has all
the wits Of boy of 16. But ut his
mind naturally should have developed.
Until three weeks ago he has spent all
Of his time at home, but now he has n
situation as errand-boy for a dealer in
microscopical supplies. This work has
taken him to scientists and through
them his condition became public.
Tommy, though born healthy, had
early in life all the infantile diseases.
Besides, he had structure of the stom-
ach, as a result of which his digestive
apparatus went on strike, and has
remained out of work ever since. Then
he was ruptured, and afterward had a
severe attack of asthma.
Never in his life has he eaten n bit of
solid food, and, for time, it was only
with the greatest difficulty that his
stomach could retain even milk and
water. He takes broths and baby foods
and sometimes goes for days without
an ounce Of nourishment.
Consequently, for lack Of phosphates,
his brain hasn't developed. He Is left
in a lamentable condition Of naive
honesty. His skin is as smooth and
innocent Of hair as that of n baby

II IL mot Intended that every sleeping

Der OF children passing. It would be

Although child travellers are numer-
GUS now, and the sending of them alone
from one city to another is increasing
each year, railroad officials who have
examined plans for the new compart-
ment anticipate an increase In business
through their adoption. "As soon as
parents learn that on certain routes
comfortable provision has been made
for their children" said one passenger
agent, ''they win naturally travel on
these In preference to less considerate
lines, and persons whose peace has been
disturbed by fretful youngsters will
gladly avail themselves Of road

Rested the New-Yorker.

a New-Yorker in Minneapolis took a
trip by trolley to st. Paul, and on the
return received transfer to the car
line that passed his stopping place, the
West House. He stopped to make a
small purchase before taking the car,
and when he did do so the conductor re-
fused to receive his transfer, claiming
that the time limit on 1t had expired,
The New-Yorker loudly announced his
determination to ride to the West
House without further payment, and a
lively discussion ensued. In the midst
of it the car stopped to take on a pas
senger, the conductor glanced about,
and then he called out "West House!'
The New Yorker, smiling complacently,
got off the car. The conductor started
the car, and then turned and grinned
systematically at the New-Yorker. The
latter was puzzled, but the mystery was
explained when, not recognizing the To-
cality, he asked a passer-by where the
West House was. "Ten blocks further
down the street." was the reply.

Of big thing, and he u ready to fight

writes Frank G. Carpenter, occurred
In the spring OF last year. For some
time the grain brokers In Chicago had
hoped to be able to down Armour.
They had tried 1t a number Of times
and failed. At last 1t was discovered
that he had bought 100000 bushels
Of wheat to be delivered In May. The
market was In such state that he had
to take 1t. The Chicago elevators were
full, and the brokers laughed In their
sleeves when they thought Of Armour
having all that wheat dumped down
upon him and no place to put 1t. They
expected he would have to sell II. that
they could buy 1t at their own prices,
and that he would lose a fortune by
1t. This was the situation about the

NURSERY department

A NURSERY department has
~ been devised for railroad trains,
4 \ and it is to be hoped that soon
all the great railroad systems Of the
country will be as luxuriously equipped
for the comfort of babies as any mill
ionaire's house In the land. For the
new compartment Is not only coy
nook, padded, carpeted curtained and
cotted, but II Is furnished with every
possible appointment for baby conf
fort.
That this innovation will be hailed with
delight by every traveller who has ever
been annoyed by the crying OF tired or
frightened infants during a railway
journey goes without saying. Even
people of the soundest nerves find them
severely tried by the incessant walls OF
the little travellers, while to the aver
age human being these lugubrious
sounds are n positive torture.
No matter how good-natured n child
may be, 1t is almost sure to become
cross when travelling. and it is as much
for the comfort of the tots themselves
as for the relief of their victims that n
certain Brooklynite-doubtle man
of experience, well qualified for his
task-has contrived this nursery annex
to railroad trains. According to his
design, the travelling nursery will take
mp about the same amount Of space as
the private stateroom which Is found
in all sleeping cars. There will be
saving of space of several feet, how
ever, as the wide seats on the sides of
the stateroom below the berths are rot
needed in the nursery being replaced
by ottomans and tiny easy chairs scat
tered over the floor. In this way any
danger from sudden starts or sharp
curves is obviated. AS further pro-
lection against injury to the little oEcs,
the walls Of the nursery are heavily
padded and the floor thickly carpete1,
so that bumps and bruises will he alto
gether avoided. At each end Of the
compartments and firmly secured, are
two coy cots in which the smaller
children may lie and watch the games
