A perusal of the history of railway trans

us that this period has been the most uls.
astrous, from financial standpoint, OF any
other Of the present decade. unaer 'n ne
circumstances it would almost seem as
though the further development or I'M
provement of railway facilities must cease.
Yet, strange to say, many notable instances
prove that the contrary is true. IN numer'
GUS instances frstclass roads, desp1tc tne
hard times and general business depres.
sion, have made very decided advances s 10y
condition of the roadway itself, but hke'
wise the equipment and service; ana INC
nublic. has been great gamer by the pub
tic spiritedness of the roads.
One Of the most notable cases OF 1an'
way development is the Nickei fIate noau;
with its improvements and mas e&nio' w.
an unrelenting determination to give the
public the best possible facilities, IN spite
Of the hard times. And how we'll this cor
poration has succeeded in it's laudabie CT
forts, the excellent condition OF Its system
this success is obvious: The people have
responded very generously to generous
effort to give them the worth OF their
money. that is all. The peoples money
has enabled the road to better it's facilities
in every respect; thus the work has been
liberal patronage accorded the road has
in Tie shape Of improved facilities for
travel, vet at the same time at lower rates
And now, it seems, the Nickel Plate Road
is still engaged in further efforts to serve
the people we'll. 1t has high-class roadway
to begin with; most excellent equipment
to end with, and a safe, fast and reliable
service for the dclectation Of it's patrons.
All in all, it offers q most attractive menu to

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia e. Pinkham'e
Vegetable Compound.

MRS. B. A. LOMBARD, Box II, West
dale, Mass. writes: ~ have reason to
think that l would not be here now If
1T had not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's
vegetable Compound. It cured me of
a tibroid tumor in my womb.
"Doctorscould donothing for me. and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
will tell You about it:
" l had been in my usual health. but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must lind the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was tibroid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time q lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound !;
said she owed her life to it. l said ]
would try il, and did. Soon after the
flow became more natural and regular.
l still continued taking the Compound
for some time. Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right. The tumor had passed
away, and that dull ache was gone. "
1t can be truthfully stated that
such result can be accomplished by no
other remedy upon the market, and
forcibly proves the peculiar virtue Of
the Vegetable Compound

A Matter of DiSt?nCe.

1t Is well known that In high altt.

from the city Of Denver, the Rocky
Mountains. although some sixteen miles
distant, seem but very short way off.
An English gentleman. a tourist. came
in on the Kansas Pacific train one
morning, stopped at the Inter Ocean
Hotel in Denver, and soon made the
acquaintance of two of the "old clti-
zens."
The Englishman was captivated with
the appearance Of the mountains. and
suggested to the two ''old citizens" that.
as the mountain range was such very
short distance from the city, they
should all take a walk to it. and re-
turn in time for dinner. The two ''old
citizens" saw a chance for some fun.
and Immediately consented. The trio
started west. and walked towards the
mountains for about two hours and
half, but the mountains seemed as far
away as ever.
The Englishman was good walker.
and kept little in advance of his
friends. Finally they saw him DELHI
erately sit down, as he came to a small
irrigating ditch. perhaps two feet wide.
and begin taking off his boots and
stockings.
When they came up to where he was
sitting they asked him, in some sur
prise, what he was doing that for. The
Englishman said he was going to wade
the stream.
Both the ''old citizens" looked at him

The Montana Society of Engineers has

about to be made with view to securing

apparent than in Montana.

ABOUT CALAMITY.
New Ways Of Living Bring New Rules
In Manners.

That element Of gallantry which Is
nothing more than a hypocritical dis
play of insincere devotion has for many
years tended to disappear and in the
march of progress will continue to do
so. not more because Of the widening OF
woman's interests than because OF the
broader view of life and ones duty to-
ward ones neighbor among both men
and women, says the Springfield Re-
publican. True gallantry. in its best
and sincerest form, will never be "Out
! of date" as long as men are men ana
women are women. Men will always
respect women and If gallantry be paid
to intellectually rather than TO ignor-
ance 1t is no less gallantry.
A man who gives up his seat in a
street car TO Il pretty girl and then goes
home and kicks" because dinner Is not
ready Is not gallant. With new ways
of living for both men and women,
gallantry must take new forms, adapt
ing itself TO conditions, but it will ever
exist in the hearts ana be shown in the
actions of generous men and noble wO-
men.
A homely bit Of gallantry was en-
acted in this city a few days ago by u
driver of an ordinary. everyday water
| ing-cart. A woman had a fall from her
bicycle just in front of the street sprin-
kler and although not at all hurt her
hands were considerably the worse for
contact with the dirt of the road. The
driver watched her from his high seat
and then called out cheerily: want to
wash your hands. miss!' She admit
! ted that it would be n desirable thing.
SO the man turned on Il small stream
from his cart and held his horses still
while the woman washed her dirt-cOv-
cred hands. Then. acknowledging her
THANK YOU with a smile and a bow,
he drove on and the woman resumed
her ride. The drivers action was as
true gallantry as ever knight perform
| Ell in olden time-and such as Parisians
would never think Of.
