beaneries. He frequents them only
when he wants quick lunch, and
he takes pie because he has vague
idea that pie is about all they sell.
Then, again, he knows pie, and he is
doubtful about the rest of the stuff
sold in these places. Five minutes
after he has had his lunch he
couldn't tell you what kind of pie
he had eaten to save his life. Now,

eats pie from the force of habit. He
really wants only cup of coffee,
but he feels that he should order
something else, too, SO he takes pie.

locks. the descendants of the money
changers whom Christ drove from the
Temple can today sit down around a
table with six other railroad magnates, all
of whom are already working in harmony
and conjunction with the gold syndicate,
and control absolutely every mile of rail-
way i'll the nation. BY stroke of the
pen they can lock the wheels of every
locomotive, they can put up rates or they
can put them down, they can build up

That the American people should SUBJ
init-nay, not submit, but willingly accept
such condition for the luxury of voting
the Republican ticket is one of the plob-
lens which are confounding the students
and disciples of popular government.
The inscrutable mysteries of Providence
are past finding out and one of the SEEM

dictions of the human race, the only
animal not controlled entirely by instinct.
We find tens Of thousands of Americans
in the face of the above facts that our
means of transportation and travel are
largely in the hands of foreign syndicates,
shake their heads and declare govern
ment ownership of the railroads would
"never work." This in the face of furth-
err facts that 81 countries in the old world
own or partially own their railroads.
There is no country in the world where
the school master is needed abroad so
much as in the United States to teach the
people the elementary parts of their own

AS fast as our railroads are driven into
bankruptcy by private mistnanagement
or criminal wrecking they are placed in
the hands of government receiver, to
pass from him usually into the possession
of this great foreign money octopus
1t is no joke, or sneer or party political
reflection to charge that the Republican
party is in the hands of this foreign, or
rather international money power, but an
absolute, startling fact, and every Amer
lean citizen commits little less than a
crime who does not make it duty to
inquire and investigate till he has ascer-
tanned the facts beyond doubt, and then
shaped his future political course to con-
moment of our entire means of transport
tation and travel being in the hands of a
foreign money syndicate.

Falling Prices.

All prices fell last week. Partly, this
was because Of the war scare and partly
because at various points the commercial
situation pointed to lower quotations.
In staples the fall in price was due to
known facts as to value. Wheat fell two
cents a bushel, because in spite of exports
5000, 900 bushels more than last year to
date and consumption 1000, 900 more,
there proves to be $4,000, 900 bushels more
in farmers hands. In addition, India has
10000, 900 bushels more to export and
Argentina, which is shipping 1900 900

AN EMPRESS VANITY.
How Elizabeth of Austria Fought the
Ravages Of Time.

How Elizabeth of Austria Fought the
Ravages of Time.
The late Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria, like her namesake of England, was
sensitive about her personal appear
ance, and regretted the ravages of time
to more than the ordinary degree, re-
marks the Illustrated London News
Her passion for violent riding and long
very quick walks was connected with
her great dread of becoming stout
She had brought on her recent III
health by the rigidity with which she
dieted herself in order to avoid adding
to her weight. Although she was rather
tall she made a point of weighing less
than seven stone, and would practically
starve herself for some time if she
turned the scale of the weighing ma
chine that always stood in her bed
room at anything beyond that figure.
This in her case had produced the
anemia that was the direct cause of
the disorder of the heart for which
she had lately been treated
The unfortunate empress, like Queen
Elizabeth, forbade her portrait to be
taken when she had passed her bloom.
Tradition says that Elizabeth, Tor
many years before her death, refused
to look in a mirror; but she had the
responsibilities of a queen regent, and
could not seclude herself as she aged
from the eyes Of her courtiers as the
modern monarch did. It is a curious
example of the irony Of fate that the
most hideous portrait ever produced
of Queen Elizabeth is one OF the few
that may now be seen in the National
Portrait Gallery, notwithstanding that
she ordered the absolute destruction of
every reproduction of it, 1t appears
in the form of a coin. showing her very
aged and perfectly hideous, with a
nut cracker" nose sand chin hollow
cheeks and sunken eyes. The only
example of the coin. ! believe, is the
specimen now on show in that most
prominent position. The Empress
Elizabeth was under no obligation to
appear on ordinary coins. and on the
few medals and orders in which she
appears d. the company with the en-
peror, youthful portrait is always to
be seen. Growing old is hard to all
Of us. no doubt, but to the beauty, it
is a terrible tragedy.
