A man will be more grieved for the
loss Of desired object than he could
have been pleased with the enjoyment
of it; for though the presence Of an
imaginary good does not always make
us happy, the absence of it may make
us miserable; because in the enjoy
ment Of an object we only find that
share Of pleasure which it is capable
of giving us, but in the absence of 1t
we do not proportion our grief to the
real value it bears, but to the value
our fancies and imaginations set upon

The girls of a town in Illinois will
vlay football. They will practice in
Snort dresses and play in boomers.
The society and the church Of the
town are up in arms against this mas
culinity; but the girls will probably
have their own way until they have
murdered each other to the last girl.
For, of course, having decided to play
the manly game, they will play it only
as men do.

A few. persons have done a profit
able business in tree planting in this
country, but this occupation will prob
ably not be folloyed by individuals. as
the time required for trees to mature
Is TOD long. Governments do not die
like individuals, and for this reason
certain economic industries are more
suitable for governments to control
than for individuals to undertake. Tree
planting Is one Of comparatively few
businesses which we believe the gov
Iernmdnt can prosecute more success
fully Than can any private individual
Or corporation. -

Grand Trunk vs.. Central Vermont.

1t is rumored that there are to be some new
developments in the railroad situation soon
1t appears that the through traffic on the
since the fight for its possession was inaugu-
rated. The Grand Trunk is now sending its
seaboard freight by way of Portland, thus
diverting it from the Central Vermont. 1t is
charged that this is Manager Hays method
of forcing the Central Vermont interests to
put the p, operty into the possession of the
Grand Trunk. Thus the action of Manager
Hays of the Grand Trunk is in direct opposi-
ton to the duties of Receiver Hays OF the
Central Vermont This phase of the situa-
ton we understand has been or is to be
brought to the attention of the court of which
Receiver Hays is an officer and it is expected
that he will be compelled to give the usual
business to the Central Vermont or retire
from the receivership.

Unusually elaborate preparations have been
completed by the Southern Railway Company
to perfect the service of the New York and

via Pennsylvania Southern Railway, f. g.
and 2. and Florida East Coast Line. This

in that the appointments of the trains will
rival their speed.
Superbly appointed sleeping compartment
and observation cars will compose the Linn

ton in engineering circles, and they were
built with the idea of making schedule time
an absolute certainty. The first of the five
cars is a composite baggage and smoker. No.

dining car in charge of experienced chefs
and staff. Numbers 8 and are drawing
room sleeping cars, each containing IL Sec
and toilet rooms. No is compartment car
containing two drawing rooms and seven
state rooms, luxuriously furnished. The
observation car is the sixth and last and it
will be model of its kind, containing in
addition to the observation parlor at the rear
OF the train, secretary, carefully selected
library of the newest books and periodicals,
buffet, and ten sections.
This train will be equipped with the latest
ideas in palace car building and staff of
employees in keeping with the high standing
established and maintained by the progressive
Southern Railway Company. Tired New
Workers and invalids will find in the Florida
Limited the nearest approach to perfection in
railroad travel that can be obtained, for, in
providing speed and comfort, the details and
| trit1es have not been overlooked, but, on the
contrary, have been studied from every point
of view, and the result is the most luxurious
train in the world. Attached to the Limited
is Pullman drawing room sleeping car,

ter, diagrams, ETC., of the Florida Limited,
